Okay seriously you explain everything so well! Thank you for this video! I was hesitant about buying this but I think I will purchase it. I am a beginner with contouring and I heard this contour kit is great for beginners. Thank you for making it look so easy and for explaining it so well 🤗

I love this kid!! You actually made a GREAT point about the contour being to low it makes wicked sense and it looked FABULOUS on you hunny!!!! I'm trying it Great video thank you!!

[MarTomak]

By far the best Contoring video I have seen. He actually explains where to put the product and WHY you shouldn't do the don'ts. Well done!

1. You are so beautiful. Your hair, your face, and your personality are so awesome! You look flawless and you seem so down-to-earth and charming! YAY ipsy for picking awesome reps! :D
2. THANK YOU for so easily clarifying how to do this! I'm always confused as to how to use both contour and bronzer and what the difference is. And how to exactly place it where I need to, because it's so hard to tell. Seeing you specifically point it out close up and explain it just made this so helpful to try contouring again. I appreciate this video so much!

[lizc]

wow thank you. This video is super helpful and I did a lot of those don'ts.

[tiffanya]

Great video! I'm gonna put some of these tips into consideration so I can up my contour game for sure. Thanks! I look forward to seeing more from you!

[deborahjohnson]

[mrsbruford]

[pinkypoler]

I'm 60 and just now learning how to do makeup. Moved a lot growing up and had no idea what to do with everything. Went to an high-end store to have my makeup done and walked out looking like a ghost.
Really appreciated your tips and do you do any tips for older skin. You are flawless and beautiful. I would like to look, know and feel good about my makeup application. I got some Urban Decay liquid foundation, matte box eyeshadow, highlighter. Smashbox two color blush from ipsy. Better than Sex mascara which for my Tiny eyelashes works great. Eyebrow pencil with brush. White brow and eye corner pencil.
I just don't know who's advise to follow. Can you advise someone or specific video's. Seems no one does makeup for older women. I want to feel and look glamorous too. Loved your video. will do the nose and temple advice. Will look for more of your videos.
