Tips on How to Contour

Hi everyone!
This video is all about CONTOUR.
I get asked questions about how to contour all the time so I wanted to share my personal tips.
Like I mention in this video, just like with all makeup, contouring is very personal as well as subjective.
So just a reminder contour is used to
Take away/ minimize certain areas of the face and is also one of the best tools for enhancing natural bone structure.
If you have any further questions on contouring make sure you leave them in the comments below.

Lol 😂 I had no idea contour was different from bronzing. I still have more to learn thank goodness for Nikki 🤩

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Yay!!! Now you know!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@glendahernandez9076]

I love how you explain everything so detailed 👌🏼 you look gorgeous as always!❤️👌🏼

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Thank you and also THANK YOU!!! 🥰🥰

[@_lorie]

Love how detailed your videos are, especially coming from a makeup artist and not just a makeup enthusiast. I appreciate it. Would love to see a combination of your contour and bronzer videos of how to apply one with the other (one side powder vs matte) together so we can see a complete look. Other video ideas: packing your kit for work, personal makeup collection, favorite makeup in each category including swatches, favorite makeup brushes/tools for each category, vlogs Either way, excited for more content. Really happy I found your channel.

[@mollynavarro4101]

[@ashleybrown7039]

"Work my way down gradually" mouse voice was a great touch 😂 you're so relaxing and enjoyable to watch! Thank you for sharing your expertise

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Hahahaha my husband threw that in and I couldn’t stop laughing!

[@iissosmarts]

Lol I've been just putting bronzing powder willy-nilly on the sides of my face, forehead and chin without really knowing why I was doing it (because I saw all the beauty KZbinrs doing it so I wanted to do it too 🤷). This has been eye-opening for me, and I can't wait to put my new-found knowledge on contouring to use! Thank you Nikki!

[@danielle6868-g4s]

Wow....Just what I needed! You are extremely through and precise and have provided valuable information! Thx Nikki💞

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked Thai video!

[@lysaout]

finally someone explained to me the difference between powder/cream contour, thank you so so much!!! i have dry skin and i prefer more of a natural makeup look, now i know which one to use :)

[@tlarsen2008]

Thank you for explaining everything in detail for us 🙂 I have one question how do you decide what colors to use for your contouring? 🙂

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

You are so welcome! And contour shades should lean more on the Cool Side. So nothing to warm or orange.

[@alexphillips820]

You’re changing my life with this ❤❤❤

[@paula6446]

Wow! You are soooo talented! Wonderful tips- that I will attempt. I obsess over your flawless skin! 💕

[@makeupwithtabitha]

Yes! 100% agree with your contour tips. ❤

[@lamblilo]

Thanks so much for sharing your technics, you have helped me so much and I have learned a lot for doing my makeup🥰🥰 you are the best!!!!!

[@Starrywhite]

Great teachings and visuals ☆ also you have gorgeous hands 😍

[@gbtink]

Hypnotized watching ur videos! Loved the detail in this one. My fave contour is hands down Kevyn aucoin powder contour. It’s perfection!

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

That is an oldie but goody for sure!! I need to get those again!

[@Saramdavis]

With the cream contour. Do you set it with translucent powder? Or contour powder? Thanks

[@jso0]

Thank you Nikki! I love the way you explain all the tips and tricks to contour 💙 I wanted to ask what are the other brushes you had in your hand when you were showing us your three favorite contour brushes for cream contour, specifically the one with the black handle? Please and thank you!

[@adeolabamigboye6767]

you scream DETAILS!! I'm in love 🥰

[@emine5299]

Can you please do passport make up tutorial or make up to look good in that kind of photos.

[@user-kc1rg7ts2u]

Amazing as always. ❤️ Question- You wouldn’t use huda tantour as a bronzer? And another one 😅- I always feel like when I apply cream contour/bronzer and then cream blush over it, I end up messing up the contour/bronzer. How do you handle this issue? 🧐

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Yes and I actually do all the time! It’s a very thin line between bronzer shades and contour

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Don’t over blend them. Try tapping your blush on top of the bronzer instead of blending the two into each other

[@user-kc1rg7ts2u]

Thank youuuu I really appreciate the answer 🙏🏽❤️

[@gyannacanez]

Hello 😊 Which concealer would you recommend to cover acne bumps and maybe drier hyperpigmentation?

[@sandranewman5067]

My fav MUA.

[@Saramdavis]

Thank you for this video was waiting for this. ❤

[@Peaches_H_Nyce]

You look absolutely gorgeous! Got me wanting that Backstage in warm!!!

[@aoyhan5757]

Wow nikki thats absolutely amazing what you did. I'd assume you dont do bronzer too? That doesn't look like you need it. Thats totally gorg! Id rather do bronzer and blush, the cheek isnt big enough for all 3?!?. Great tutorial now I know what the placement is for! Im not so afraid to try it now!! Im sure I bought a contour color by accident lol! Thank you so much for being so detailed. Excellent teacher!!!❤❤❤

[@garimasingh7621]

Can you please give few more options of cream contour products that you think will work great for medium skin tone and dry skin.

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Makeup by Mario has Amazing contour/ bronzer sticks that are great for ALL skin types and have a wide variety of skin tones

[@garimasingh7621]

@@Makeupbynikkilarose thank you so much 🤍

[@nitzeart]

Ugh I struggle with contour so much. I never like how it looks on me. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do contour that looks good and natural for daily and daytime makeup. I would like to learn for nighttime and more glam looks. I either have no idea how to apply it, they're not my shades or I'm pretty happy with my face shape and don't see the point of contouring. Maybe I jusy don't want to define or change any of the planes of my face but I fear my makeup will look incomplete without it. I find using blush to emphasize certain parts of face easier, more natural and glowy.

[@JamykaG]

Love all these tips and your channel! Question - I have combo skin (oily t-zone) but I love the look of a cream contour since it does look more natural. Do you suggest setting with a colored contour powder or translucent?

[@aldakendall4921]

Love it. Thank you. I have a 2 head rather than a four head so I usually don't contour.

[@susanbowman3865]

Hi Nikki, I have an issue I’d love your guidance on. On the bridge of my nose I have two small bumps that after applying foundation and powder become more apparent. Would applying a small or light amount of contour help to minimize their appearance? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 💖

[@misspearls3]

Hi Niki can you do an updated video on contour and contour products for every skin type. Thank you! 😊

[@7695Ariel]

Can you/should you apply contour and bronzer in the same makeup look?

[@kellypursch7451]

What would you recommend for mature skin cream or powder contour

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

I prefer cream for mature skin but that doesn’t mean that powder is “wrong” I suggest just applying with a light hand

[@michelleveloni1329]

Can you do a tutorial on how you contour the lips, please💖

[@lauraabegglen8515]

You are a brilliant teacher

[@isabelkim6836]

You look extra pretty in this video! Love the glossy lip on you - any chance Susan's makeover influenced you? Haha

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Hahahhahah 😂😂 glad you got a chance to see that video! And THANK YOU!!

[@TheTropicBudget]

Hi! What’s the name of the RT contour brush? The link doesn’t work anymore ❤

[@Amy-qe7ti]

You are truly the most informative make up artist I watch. The way you explain everything just really resonates with me. Thank you so much!!!! 🫶🫶🫶

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

That makes me so so happy thank you so much for the compliment and for watching my channel!!

[@tabathataylor1407]

Love your channel!❤️

[@kathieharrop3053]

Hi Nikki. It’s tricky to put bronzer on your forehead when you have blonde hair and are more mature wth hair loss in this area. Any tips fo

[@twistedkitty1958]

💗

[@isabelledesmeules6856]

Great tips! ❤❤❤Very helpful!

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Glad it was helpful!

[@meltop614]

Love your videos! Could you do a what’s in my makeup bag video

[@juststyleme]

Awesome video - love it, thank you. One question, do you also wear your rings, when you apply make-up on a client?

[@rebarter02]

Loveeeettttt

[@margimello7408]

I would love to see if you did half your face the right way and the other half the social media way. Sometimes I have a hard time telling what the effects of contouring should look like.

[@venusfly000]

Magnificent 🖤❤️🖤

[@SparkleinSac]

Hi can I use my contour and not follow with bronzer? I want to put blush on after I contour.

[@SparkleinSac]

You seem part Asian like me

[@Lanadoesnails-Shorts]

I was always told to 'follow the hollow' (of my cheeks but I find it doesn't work for me, I always go higher up, just under apple of my cheek

[@lizshoemaker8713]

Couple of questions.. could you use a cream contour and set it with a powder? Would you still use a bronzer afterwards? 😊

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Yes and yes!!!

[@mia_2524]

Great video !! Can u please give the name of the real techniques brush u used ? Tx! ❤️

[@jenniferhernandez9633]

love this ! What foundation did you use?

[@amandadavis5063]

Do you still use a cool color contour to contour the nose?

[@hedwigfranken-ballreich5121]

Perfekt 👍🥰

[@joanreichenbach4896]

I always get confused between products for contouring and products for bronzing. Aren’t they often the same🤔?

[@helensolomon4420]

😁👏🏻❤️

[@tonyaraeschmidt1983]

I can’t blend like that in my hair line unfortunately 😓 blonde hair shows that contour color really bad.

[@bashag5477]

plz tell us which contour productS you like in detail-that are still being sold

[@sciencenvisions1554]

i still dont get how this is different to using a bronzer..

[@ennyenn]

Hey Nikki, I don't know what it is , but the "s" is somehow waay too strong when you talk, so that It hurts my ears. I tried to listen to the video with and without airpods, lower the volume snd such but I think it's your 🎤. Is that just me? PS: love your videos and tipps❤️❤️❤️ You taught me already so much I thought I knew it all haha 🤗

[@auntiedramey3855]

I'm sorry but most people that TRY to contour their nose just looks like dirt!!!!!

[@dizilerify]

please don't do voice effects - it was scary

[@Legobrickfuncousin]

Love this. Contouring always freaks me out. LOL I love the tip on bringing up the look of your cheekbone. I’ve tried that. 🤍

[@neovalkyrie0]

Only hard thing about contouring is we all have different face shapes so what works for you may not work for me. I have a round wider face. I feel like I get contour mixed up with bronzing. It almost looks the same. I know contouring should be in the hallows of your face but what I found if I put bronzer on top it looks muddy or dirty. So I have to go with a very careful hand. 🥲 Great tutorial! The guy talking in the background was distracting tho.

[@asianagi4304]

Love her like I said but she talks to damn much mannnn.
