I don't think the contour did anything magical to their faces..

The lady with the square face is stunning

[ravensroses]

I see the difference! Beautiful before and after. The after just balances everything! Love it!

[teresaisawsomedk]

I honestly think that they looked much better without the contouring!

I'd say the first one isn't round at all, it's oval, the second one isn't heart shaped but more or less round, apart from the chi And the last one is rectangular.
Am I the only one who sees it this way or no?

I love that she enhanced their natural beauty and didn't turn them into completely different people..Sometimes people become shape-shifters while using makeup

THE ROUND FACE,  was absolutely beautiful, before the makeup was applied.  She is a natural beauty.

This video is EXCELLENT!!! One of the best contouring ones I've watched...And I've watched a lot of them. It was concise to the point with no unnecessary talking. I love it. Added it to my favorites and shared.

Most natural looking makeup I have ever seen on Youtube!

[Superstarfitnesstv]

[abish]

Is it just me or did they look worst after the contouring?

[iluvyou]

[MissLovely]

The last girl's face shape <3 <3 <3

[solsilvera]

she just made the same things in all the faces.

Love that video! Great contouring! The only thing I noticed was that the blush all the girls was applied too low on the cheeks and too front faced. I made their cheeks look droopy when they're supposed to be raised.
So bummed there's no more New Beauty store at Fred Segal!
Please open a stand alone New Beauty store in SM!

all the girls are pretty with out the makeup but they also look fabulous with it too! :)

The only difference between before and after is the overall color of the face. Doesn't really 'sell' the technique.
