Contour tips for allll the face shapes

Hey hey my dudes. I wanted to revisit contouring for all the different face shapes out there. I'm trying to simplify it as much as possible, but I DO think these tips should work for every face shape whether you have a wide face, narrow face, long chin, large forehead, etc. Remember to start with the overall shape and then refine by section 🙌🏻 Let me know if there are any more specifics you want me to cover ❤️

01:06 For narrow or long faces
03:50 For wide (round or square) faces
07:16 How to look more heart shaped
10:05 Side by side comparisons

This was so great for us newbies to the whole contour show. Thank you so much! 😊

Cool thing I've discovered, I wear a headscarf for religious reasons, and the placement of the scarf along my forehead and the sides of my face can sort of contour my face a bit, shortening my forehead and making nice angles along my cheeks and my jaw. If you wear hats or headscarves highly recommend experimenting with that

BEST contour "how-to" I have seen in a WHILE. Alex always coming in clutch for us! 💯❤️

[ToniGNLEover]

Absolutely LOVE your TUTORIALS & I’m so glad you haven’t gone down the rabbit hole of spilling tea or complaining about brands. MUAs like you are rare gems 💎 😍

[jenessastrickland]

I don’t contour much, but I love these videos where you show side by side comparisons! Whether I use them or not, it’s interesting to see these tips and then see the results.

[betroberts]

I don't interact much with videos, but since contour has always been beyond me in my makeup game, I felt that your techniques fit my style a bit better than other MUAs who go for dramatic transformations where your use of a shadow tone contour with an appropriate amount of product really made the contour itself look really natural, as to compliment your natural features rather than change them altogether. Well done! In the side-by-side comparison, it really shows the subtle changes the contour did, instead of the surreal dramatic changes other makeup artists do with their makeup.

Fascinating and so helpful! Thank you so much!!!

Edit: I especially appreciated the side-by-side of all three contours, I was hoping you’d do that!

[carriemoreillon]

You are seriously so insanely talented. Best makeup tutorials I've ever watched

[kierstenbriggs]

This was a really cool video! I especially appreciated the 3 photos side by side towards the end, it was super interesting to compare and see the differences. Thank you!

[KaylaaJaee]

This makes so much sense! Thanks for the clear visuals on face shapes. Sometimes the hardest part is knowing which one you have

[ninav]

this is pure gold content, thank you! So many tutorials just say Heart shape do this, oval shape do that! And for a long time i wondered why nothing works for me. That’s the answer - your face shape is unique and you will rarely find a face that fits exactly into those schemes you see on the internet. Also, your face changes shape ever so slightly as you grow older and/our gain or lose weight too. So always gotta adjust your routine. This video is very helpful for that. ❤

Listen I’ve been watching your videos right before the pandemic hit you had like a quarter million subs and now your over a mill very much deserved…. The way you explain and teach is so smooth and your work is so precise to what your talking about that it hits in a different way…Genius Alex genius

[katherinewitt]

Thank you for the "Brady Bunch" pics to really illustrate the differences in the techniques after they are blended out!!!

[Clempeaches]

Love the sound of your earrings and THANK you for not adding horrible background music... This is a true unintentional makeup ASMR 😍

[iwylfpp]

Would you ever do a video on how to use contouring to accentuate your features? For example, I have wide cheekbones and I don't want to make them look narrow, just a more enhanced version of what they are. All the contouring content I have found is about downplaying your prominent features

[hisanely]

Watching one of your videos to relax before my first job interview tomorrow, wish me luck 🤞♥️

[chloecarrera]

Love how you explain things. Also needed this as I realized I’d got in a habit with my contour that wasn’t actually creating the shape I really want.

[TheFoocookie]

Thank you for showing us how to do makeup for our own faces and not only what's popular!
