I appreciate how polite and sensitive you are when discussing do’s and don’ts. You never make anyone feel foolish for their practices, only guide them to using different and more flattering techniques. You are a consummate professional and I have learned so much from you. Thank you for another helpful video.

As a person with chubby cheeks I think I prefer the lower contouring. She looks slimmer with it.

Then where do I apply my blush? Layered on top of the contour? Bc there isn’t any more cheek real estate on my face lol

[elliesquires]

I followed your advice on no apple blush application! BRILLIANT! I’m 64 and knew I needed to change some things. That was a game changer. I’ll check this advice also

[ladeediz]

I never wear contour, but I might try tomorrow, using this placement. Thank you. 😮

[rosavelez]

thank you Nikki demonstrating how to and where place apply contur ❤️

My gratitude to you for the valuable advice you provided regarding placing blush higher above the cheekbones as we age. This technique effectively lifts the face, creating a more youthful appearance. I must say, this tip is truly the best I have ever received. Furthermore, I admire your makeup style which is not excessively exaggerated like many seen on social media platforms.

Love your make up tutorials. Very informative and helpful.

[jona-roy]

Love your techniques & methods😍👍 for the perfect makeup look for every occasion.
I never used to contoured or used bronzers before I found your channel a couple years ago.
Now I love it and the products you recommend make me feel so confident on my purchases. Best tool ever is your brushes.❣️❤️‍🔥💯❤️‍🔥❣️
In my opinion you have been the best channel to follow that will never stir me wrong in makeup. Your genuinely kind, & Mitch is so perfect for you. You both complement each other. Thanks for all you both have done & building this channel for those who want to build their skills in makeup. 🎉

Wow a huge difference. I was clearly putting mine on way too low. Thanks for this great info

[eyekandy]

I see this, you’re right, and somehow I’m still going to do the same old contour. But I’ll give it a shot!

[Carolina_Rodriguez]

Agreed! I started placing makeup higher up on my face/cheeks, and its looks waaaay better

[theschismarch]

So how does blush application work with the higher contouring? The tone of the contour used, particularly if its not super blended, seems like it would overtake blush application and end up tinting the whole upper cheek area.

You are a True Professional and have been a Big help to me in makeup application. Thanks for what you do🎉😊

[zariatobeprecise]

Yea definitely love the high brush application

[RebeccaJackson-ue]

Excellent tip, I've now realised that. I do up on my cheek bone now ❤❤❤❤.

[Internet_user]

I understand it is “flattering, ” but I think it’s also depends on the person’s desire on if they want to look a certain way, or accentuate their given face. 🤷‍♀️

[jennyrosa]

Instant follow after i saw the results.thank youuuu!❤

[lindasantos]
