[@shannlp1]

Hahaha that little grin when she says "I'm gonna go back on my knees"... Ruth 😏

[@ridinreiners]

The effect was beautiful. So many you tubers apply such a lot of product on their faces in their tutorials, that it is hard to believe they leave their houses like that. This was much more realistic and looked so professional and soft. 😊

[@niamheartseverything]

Finally a useful video for contouring that's actually realistic!

[@RuthCrilly]

+niamheartseverything thank you! x

[@CherrieWalker]

I love this video and the fact that it shows how to properly contour for everyday!

[@RuthCrilly]

+Cherrie Walker cheers! x

[@anna_5643]

Finally something that doesn't look good just on camera

[@CherrieWalker]

+Ana Maria I was just thinking the same thing!

[@RuthCrilly]

+Ana Maria :)

[@anna_5643]

+Ruth Crill ❤

[@BereniceBloom]

How young you look and that's not just because of the nice but subtle make up but also because of your good skin which is really a nice canvas for the techniques shown. Thanks for these videos with Caroline, she knows what she does, which you can immediately see when looking into her face. Very helpful!

[@RuthCrilly]

+Berenice Bloom cheers! : )

[@catiebird4018]

was it just me that noticed ruths subtle giggle when caroline said "Im gonna get back down on my knees" hahaha

[@niawilshaw3522]

That looks beautiful, much more natural than others I've seen.

[@misskittysmeowburlesque]

I could feel you biting your tongue when Caroline says she's going to get back on her knees :) Haha Great video as always

[@sarisj1]

Best contour video! And I watched ALOT... Thank you so much for the time and effort

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

+Sari Steiner Amazing thank you!

[@maybelater3850]

its amazing to me that women who watch YT for makeup advice post comments critical of a pro m/up artist. smh- Ruth looked amazing from begin to end. I found the advice extremely helpful!

[@manuelaherrera8921]

Love the baby noises!!

[@deirdreabc]

Me too!

[@lizaprideaux]

Loved this video super helpful, I must try that illamasqua gel sculpt it looks fab! X

[@vee1324]

Me too! It's now on my wish list.

[@buzzi2k]

Gorgeous! Love using a darker blush as a subtle contour too

[@AnetteWang]

Thank you Ruth and Caroline for this series. I've watched so many makeup videos up through the years, but learned so much from you two! On a side note, I find it so relaxing to watch makeup artists and the careful way products are placed. There and then it looks like it's nothing, but the end result is always perfect.

[@RuthCrilly]

+Anette Knudsen yes it's very relaxing! xx

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

+Anette Knudsen Thank you for saying so x

[@emmagross6421]

oh my gosh this is probably the most helpful youtube beauty video i've seen in MONTHS. thank you, all 3 of you lovely ladies (2 on camera and 1 in the background)! :)

[@mariamaria0238]

Best contouring lesson! very helpful. This is what I'm looking for. Thanks Caroline and Ruth!

[@anastasiyawiesmueller2059]

That's the most useful contouring tutorial I've ever seen!

[@sandyg.7317]

Good video and instruction from Caroline. I would love to see more videos with Caroline.

[@RuthCrilly]

+Sandy G. good to know xx

[@eizhowa]

Does it look a bit orange? At the end it looked a bit much to me...

[@luxlagerfeld]

+eizhowa Totally. By the end, it looked pretty heavy and "stripey", kind of exactly what they were trying to avoid. Especially when Ruth turns her face to the side, you really see it. When Ruth does her own makeup, it's a lot softer. No shade, just the T.

[@skincarewithaustin]

+luxlagerfeld Couldn't agree more. :/

[@RuthCrilly]

+eizhowa oh no really? That could be my fault, upping the definition and contrast as I thought people wouldn't really be able to see what we were doing. Things don't look that punchy filmed in daylight - oh, the irony! : )

[@angeladavies898]

+Austin Puac Agree - it's way too heavy imo

[@Avilaina]

Beautiful!!! So natural! Perfection!

[@Amy_Wall]

That little baby sneeze - so cute!

[@streamlinedchic]

This came right at the perfect time for me! I'd like to contour, but not heavily and I'd like it to look natural. Thanks for sharing this! Kim

[@juni_pearl_9591]

Thanks for this video!! Finally, some useful tips for real life!

[@user-mn2xx2dx3d]

When your baby sneezed!!!!!!! Fav part. Haha great video you two!

[@laali76]

These videos are wonderful - realistic and extremely helpful - thanks to you both x

[@Deedsmc]

Great video finally a wearable contour look!!! Love your videos Ruth x

[@stop4roses]

Best contouring video!!! Thanks so much Ruth!!

[@cynthiavanzella]

I have the Illamasqua Gel Sculp and didn't know how to use it. Thanks so much :)

[@laurapierce9242]

Thank you both, ladies; so informative as nobody does "day light" contouring. Ruth you're so lovely and it's funny that you mention being "older" at 35-you're a baby! At 52 I really need those eyelid and jaw tricks, so I will subscribe ASAP!

[@LittleWhiteDaisy]

wow what an amazing look!! absolutely love it.

[@NatalieBrownMusic]

I love this!! What was the setting powder? I missed it in the description text. Thanks Ruth!!

[@MissPrincessKatie18]

love this, lots of useful hints and tricks to try!

[@SteffanieEntralgo]

THIS. IS. STUNNING! I mean, it doesn't hurt that you are gorgeous naturally, but her techniques and application are perfection. THIS is good makeup :) Thanks for sharing!

[@neznamejmeno74]

For which purpose is she naturally beautiful if this poosible and everyone think they wake up with monster?

[@deelot1]

Gosh thank you for making this video - and for addressing the concerns of round faced people like me! I feel more confident to do contouring now as I thought it wouldn't work for my face shape AND for daytime!

[@nasuwhales]

you two are such incredibly lovely, beautiful, radiant women!

[@RuthCrilly]

+nad schmitt thank you!!

[@lilybeeyourself]

+nad schmitt Agreed!!!

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

+nad schmitt AH THANKS!

[@stacywoontonshasek]

finally a video that shows how I can use contouring in my day to day life. Thank you.

[@Nicole_Dawn]

The end result is amazing. I'm personally not a fan of the Kim kardashian heavy contouring so this is something for me to replicate! X

[@kelliwaters5939]

I sooo love and respect you. You are a true artist and teacher. Thank you thank you thank you!!.. I am an old school Bobbi Brown Makeup Artist who don't follow the trends becuz beautiful makeup is not trendy.

[@kathiegalbreath5717]

Absolutely love this video!

[@DoctorAnne]

That looks incredible. I tend to stay away from contouring on an everyday basis, just because I fear it will look too stripey, but I think I will give this one a go.

[@RuthCrilly]

+Linda Libra Loca thanks Linda x

[@sophieelliottsmerdon]

Wow - Caroline is incredible! And you look lovely as always, Ruth! x

[@RuthCrilly]

+Sophie Elliott thanks Sophie!

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

+Sophie Elliott Woo hoo! :)

[@VeronicaKaneti]

Great video. I especially enjoyed hearing bubba in the background! xxx

[@vodkaandtravel]

Very informative lovd it thanks

[@emilygarcia2837]

Thanks for the great video!!! great tips!!!...Can you make a video of dealing with peeling skin? how to treat and what products to add during the day that will make your presentable? A "going to work look".

[@jessicat9198]

Adore this!! So good!

[@bettynesmy404]

Great video, very usefull! I would love to know more about Caroline's makeup too please; she look gorgeous!

[@smoutchie]

Thank you for this video! This such a tricky thing to do (contour for daylight). I've seen women in the supermarket who did it and just looked liked they've been punched in the face (I'm not brave enough to give them your blog adress though, I just look the other way and mind my own business).

[@lisapennisi845]

God that was so pleasing to watch, thank you❤️

[@missnatnat1935]

Lovely 💜 Can you please give some tips on how to navigate a rosy complexion?

[@umacontreras3352]

Now I want to try that cream blush...

[@mnktfn]

If it wasn't for this video I would have never ever bought a blush in the shade of soft copper, as the name&shade seems far to dark for fair skin. I'm actually not a blush fan as my cheeks get quite red anyway. But it does look really nice and natural! Please make more videos together. Daytime looks are the best and all the great tips and tricks make all the difference.

[@LaurenSmith-es3hc]

Ruth you look gorgeous!!!!!

[@wissiemd]

AMAZING! Great job!

[@DragonBotherer]

I like to think baby cat and dog are just off to the side discussing what strange things mummy's doing today, and speculating how long before she realises talking to the inanimate object is a wee bit batty! looking beautiful tho! x

[@RuthCrilly]

+dragon-botherer hahaha!!

[@kthillier]

Love this. Thank you for daytime look!

[@ayeshasiddiqua3949]

This is exactly what I was looking for.

[@vickyl5715]

Really beautiful!!

[@5t4c3y1]

Gorgeous makes you look so radiant 😍

[@kl12rw]

Amazing work!

[@meeshabrumfield2091]

I loved this it was so helpful!

[@EmilySarma]

Thanks for this video, it was really helpful!

[@notyourgirrrl]

Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for the new tips about contouring and how it should be done properly. Bring on new videos together!:)

[@Thesaudlifestyle]

So pretty❤️

[@501photo]

Very helpful for me as a photographer. Thank you! I'm assuming the makeup was being applied in nature light based one the reflection in Ruth's eye?

[@NaDeyGrEg]

That blusher 👌🏼 really helpful video! Thanks for posting!! Xo

[@NaDeyGrEg]

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

+Angie Guest Woo ho ... thank you xxxx

[@bensmira]

Love you.. Can you do a video about your career as a model..? The jobs you did, runways, covers , campaigns? And how did beauty came into your life and your KZbin channel as a result? It's really interesting- you are interesting!!! Hugs 😘

[@TheBulnesdelacruz]

love it ♡

[@user-pn9kh9zo4q]

Caroline were you the one who created that stunning make up on Adele's cover for vogue?

[@sherrie384]

Do you know what nail varnish Caroline had on? Love the neutral colour

[@jgoogleuser7779]

Ruth I love the video. What brush does Caroline uses to apply the highlighter? I can't seem to find it anywhere? Thx PS love the baby noises!!

[@Buckhurst4]

Hi there, great video. So many great tips! Caroline, what powder/eyeshadow do you use for the nose contouring? Thnx 🙂

[@vee1324]

Which is best for mature skin- cream or powder products (contour,blush & highlighter)??

[@EmilySB123]

Looks very lovely! I've a quick question re highlighter placement - it seems to accentuate my crows feet if I place it where shown here - any advice for that? Thank you!

[@RuthCrilly]

+Emily Banks will ask! x

[@EmilySB123]

Thank you!

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

+Emily Banks Hi! Ditch the highlighter, avoid placing powder around that area of your face. When you have finished your makeup lightly dab an eye cream around this area ( i do this loads myself) This makes your skin look fresh and hydrated and fine lines will look less exaggerated. I top up my eye cream throughout the day if my skin is feeling dry or I want an extra glow. I hope that helps :)

[@EmilySB123]

Caroline Barnes Make-up Artist Excellent, thank you!!

[@racheledwards1663]

Hi caroline, what brush do you use to apply contour to the nose? Thanks x loved the video

[@lynettemclean5215]

Now i understand!!!!

[@lucye6946]

Not all the products were listed, what was the setting powder used and the eyeshadow? Thanks!

[@RuthCrilly]

+Lucy E adding now! x

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

+Ruth Crilly Mac Cork Eyeshadow and Jurlique Rose Silk Fishing powder

[@RadostinaDencheva]

Loved both of your videos with Caroline - thank you so much, Ruth :) p.s. Caroline's Instagram link takes me to a different person's profile

[@EmmaLouiseLewis1]

Not sure you put the right link to Caroline's Instagram in the description😂 Loved the video very detailed shal definitely be taking some advice from this video when I attempt to contour😊

[@RuthCrilly]

+Emma Lewis KZbin keeps shortening it for some reason! It's instagram.com/carolinebarnesmakeup/

[@EmmaLouiseLewis1]

Thank you😘x

[@VeronicaKaneti]

Oops, forgot to ask. Are these suitable for oily skin types? If not, any alternatives? Cheers me dear!

[@ayeshasiddiqua3949]

Please recommend some product that can be used as creme contour

[@KidsToyyo]

Please try to tell what motion brush is moved

[@shilpzz23]

what was the brush caroline used to apply the mac cream Base with?

[@pip3300]

Ruth, can you recommend a contour that is like the one linked in the description, but possibly cheaper? I want a cream one that is okay for pale skin, but I don't really have £22 to spend on it. Any help would be great! (and anyone else with a recommendation)

[@pip3300]

Thank you, I will check them out. I have some MUA products but have never seen these sticks before, so thanks for making me aware of them.

[@lulusmartypants9799]

Great video! What's the flat brush she used to apply the concealer? Thank you!

[@SpeedBeautybyCarolineBarnes]

+芮蕊 It a pro brush that you can buy from Screenface in London

[@Anonom2012]

Illamasqua isn't readily available in the States. Would any of Mac's cream bases work, like Dusk or Sepia?

[@hollytaylor3120]

If Clinique is available go for the chubby stick x

[@Iram_Ali]

Great video - but the baby noises are too damn cute, especially that baby sneeze lol😙

[@hollymiller4723]

Which powder was it? Xxx
