YAY!! Special Effects (SFX) makeup artists have been doing this for years and it's great to see this technique making traction. SFX makeup artists really have to know skull structure when doing contouring and shading for movie production. How to make a zombie face look super gaunt (aside from prosthetics), how to make someone look skinnier based on their movie character (ghostly, sickly, injured, matured, possessed, etc.). Or how to make a face look fuller based on their movie character.....the list goes on. Not sure why sfx makeup techniques haven't taken off and excited to see it start here in this video - well done 🙂

yoo i've been doing this for years as part of my masculinising makeup. it's commonly used by transmasc people and drag kings. i don't normally watch contour videos because they normally end up emphasising feminine face shapes and obvs that is not what i want. but yeah, emphasising the bone structure is part of masculinisation. the other things i do are: contour under my jawline to emphasise the sharpness; contour vertical lines directly up from my brow arch to square off my forehead/hairline and then a horizontal line across my face above my brows; emphasise the nostrils by contouring around them and then the diagonal lines that come off them to deepen that and then with my chin it's like your lip contour but lower over the arch of the chin (and then for a personal preference i do a little butt chin). but yeah, if you like this kind of contour check out what the transmascs and drag kings are doing.

I love how you always assure people on how you don't have to wear certain products. I've never really liked complexion products and only really wear concealer but it kinda feel like I should or need to be wearing more by others standards. So it's nice to hear an beauty influencer tell people they don't have to wear things if they don't want to. That's why I watch every video even if I don't use a certain product.

@@myopinion4108 what has worked for me has been to moisturize very thoroughly with a serum and then a gel or a light cream (I have oily skin), use spot concealer for blemishes and my undereye, and use a serum foundation that gives a little tint but doesn't settle into the creases of your face or wrinkles. Unless I want maximum hold for like, a party or a very long day I skip primers and face powder and just bronze and blush with light, cream products. I used to wear powder foundation, heavy coverage and tons of pressed powder in my 20s and 30s because of very oily, textured skin, and changing that mindset has definitely been difficult, but Bobbi Brown and Wayne Goss have great tutorials for mature skin and I keep learning.

@-Reagan 2 жыл бұрын
This is a solid tutorial! Tips: Instead of just sucking your cheeks in, and drawing straight from the line you suck in towards your mouth, (we see that a lot in other tutorials) here’s what you can do: First, find your cheekbones (if you have to suck in your cheeks to find them, that’s ok but, don’t draw a line there! Now, find the rounded bottom of your cheekbones - use your fingertips, not just your eyes, until you know exactly where the bottoms really are Now, draw a **curved** line (like in this video) right up against the bottom of your cheekbones. Don’t go all the way to your mouth. Look at the video and stop right about where you have lines when you smile widely, or before that. Now, you can either just stop 🛑 and don’t go any further or you can go straight down, following the curve of your face (for the same effect as in the video) Blend - just until there are no harsh lines or strong color differences - and done! See video, she explains that over blending will make it muddy or undo what you’ve done, but beware under blending will leave weird stripes. Another tip is to choose how much dark your contouring should be based on lighting - you can get away with stronger, more dramatic contouring at night in low lighting, like in candlelight or more intimate lighting like many restaurants. Or, where there’s less light and more dramatic lighting like clubs, or the theater. In daylight and bright spaces, less shading is fine. You won’t be washed out with less contouring, because your contour will appear stronger. Also, bronzer makes a great daytime contour. I just use a little tinted moisturizer with a very fine, dewy shimmer, which looks sunkissed. I can get away with a believable suntan year round Bc I live in Florida, but you might live in an area with much less sunshine and pinkish bronzer or a matte without shimmer looks windswept and lovely as an alternative to sunkissed. You’ll find how much higher and more defined your cheekbones are.

I don't really feel like I need to contour my face, but have always been kind of interested in figuring out what kind of contour style would work for me. I don't usually wear makeup. And when I do, I don't use foundation at all. Maybe a little concealer to brighten up my eyes and loose powder to set it and lightly set my moisturizer/oil. I think that makes attempting contouring very difficult though - no base of a foundation and dewy skincare. So it'd be nice to see a contouring video for minimal makeup.

All the same contour techniques were in there, which I experimented with back in the late '70's. I'll pull it out if I have a special occasion that requires a dressy event. Any other time, I've gotten lazy about it.

All the same things would apply in technique, you just need to find the right shade of contour! Keep in mind you are creating shadows, so to find something that enhances a shadow, and not to do too dark! Generally its something more cool or neutral toned (shadows aren't warm) Find your undertones, (cool, neutral, warm... I believe darker skin tones can be more red or blue, but I'm unsure of how deep your skin is and I'm v cool pink fair-light so idk how much help I'd be there) there's test you can find online to guide you! then its best to get a cheap contour palette with multiple shades and experiment, mix colors, ect. Hope this may help a bit?

You can hardly notice them if I do nothing but with the scull contour it was making them very apparent. This is so smart and I don’t know why I didn’t think of it! 🙌🙌🙌

I enjoy my look when I contour as it helps slim places that the years have plumped.

You're really beautiful. And I love how clearly you speak. ... I don't wear makeup, but now I'm 35 and feel like I have to. This feels more natural than whatever other type of contouring does... Just wouldn't do the nose I don't think.

Thank you! My face is the exact shape of yours, even the small chin. It drives me crazy but when I look at you & others it looks beautiful. It’s a self critical issue with me. Along with getting wrinkles. Is this still a good skin regime to use as you’re older? Foundation and powder? I absolutely love how you did it and explained it. The best I’ve ever seen and heard!❤ Also, you don’t need anything, you’ve got a natural beauty with terrific features! FYI

Ladies, we are a total historical type! A best friend in HS modeled, and she had sharp features. Honestly she never looked the same in pictures as real life and she knew it. She explained how I had soft features that don't photograph as well, but that in person I'd stand out. That was very thoughtful of her, and as I've aged I've learned a baby face is desirable, too. 😎❤️

The contour trends show me I hope everyone enjoys what they have! In my teen years I had really full cheeks and hated it. I wanted the more chiseled look. In my late 20s, I naturally have the “skull contour cheeks” and now I really miss my full cheeks. No matter what cheeks you have, they will become a trend eventually.

It' s a thing, it' s a thing😉. Absolutely every optical illusion you may imagine, voilà, this is what make up is about. Some people have it naturally and it increases as we age but not everybody loves it, of course. Not everybody loves chubby cheeks, on the other side. It' s a mater of _chiaroscuro_ shadow/ light and blush placement. Hope she will do it soon 🧛🏻‍♀️🖤

I hope this doesn’t sound weird, but between your features and your mannerisms, you are super interesting to look at (straight woman here, I’m not trying to be creepy, I promise!). You’ve got a really nice presence, and you clearly know your stuff. Really looking forward to learning more from you! 😃

Very pretty! I’ve always been fascinated with what people can do with contouring. I’ve never tried, my makeup routine was rubbing on a concealer-foundation 2-in-1 and hoping for the best. Since I’ve gotten older, even that is too much trouble.
