CONTOURING UNDER OR OVER FOUNDATION | NINA UBHI

In my new tutorial, contouring under or over foundation, I will show you both techniques so that you can see which side you prefer. I'll how you contouring under foundation and also contouring over foundation. I'll be using concealers as honestly, they work way better than contouring palettes and I'll show you why!

In this video I'll go through each side step by step and explain how and why to apply the contour under or over foundation. It's a great way for you to see which side you prefer and also maybe try the technique on yourself to see which looks better.

This is one of my many how to tutorials to come in a mini series, I hope you enjoy this video and if there are any looks you would like me to create, let me know in the comments below!

I do my concealer and contour under my foundation. When I did it the other way you could see I placed it there whereas if it’s under it looks like natural shadows and depth. I do notice when people put it on top-it looks very muddy and you can see where the contour starts and stops. That being said, I love that Nina says “do what you prefer.” Nina never says you HAVE to do it her preferred way. But…she is the professional, so I’ll take my advice fr a MUA that does other peoples’ faces for a living, opposed to a YouTube MUA telling us we have to do it their way because it’s what they do in their face. Awesome video Nina!💯🙃

Gave up on makeup decades ago. I'm never good at it... all i do is tinted sunscreen.... Now I'm just learning, and I've tried this last night.... YOU ARE HEAVEN SENT FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PUT ON MAKE UP AT ALL! THANK YOU

[hazelhart]

I used to do make up often and was confident, then lockdown hit, trends changed and I felt like I got left behind. I've watched two of your videos and now feel empowered to try again :)

[ninacella]

I tried foundation over concealer and contour last night for my month late work Christmas party and I was getting compliments all night! My boyfriend said my makeup looked like I was going to a wedding! From one Nina to another thank you girl🥰🥰🥰🥰

[timelessbeautiesbyjacqueline]

You definitely showed us in detail how wearing it under foundation works so much better. I find it does last much longer and if you apply these products over and blend you are disrupting your foundation too. Excellent video thank you beautiful Nina ! xo

I'm African American, I don't do a real heavy contour anyway, but I definitely highlight before my foundation and it definitely helps. It's cuts down application time, it's helps eliminate hardish lines and helps with flash back to because I set the highlight to prior to applying my foundation. As a white woman I can see the difference even so much more in the contouring as well. I'm going to try doing both after this... my struggle has always been with blending out... so this definitely helps me tons!

[smahanmoreno]

I definitely prefer your way. It looks so much more natural. Isn’t it the point of contouring? 🤔😉
I tried both techniques and even with smaller amount of product it looks patchy and muddy and it doesn’t stay put!
I can’t thank you enough for your tutorials. My man whom never sees the difference or subtlety of my make up told me I was stunning 😍

[downtomarz]

Omg I'm so glad u made this video. I remember when i first got into doing my makeup i was never sure if I was blending well enough so i adopted this method of contouring underneath the foundation. It's so forgiving. This confirmed for me this method is actually good!

[Lefunbags]

I really appreciate this video. I personally feel the same way and dislike the contour makeup on top of foundation. I prefer the soft focus look; it feels pretty and more natural and just far less jarring. I've learned a lot from your tutorials. Thank you. I appreciate how you explain the reasons behind it

[sweetcuban_]

I'm so happy to have come across your page, I have struggled my whole life doing makeup I buy all the good brands and brushes and they sit and go to waste I have tried so many different tutorials and given up but now that I follow you I'm learning so much and enjoying makeup for the 1st time ever- you make it easy and fun I thank you so much for your amazing videos and help. ❤

[arianenowzari]

Dear Nina, I want to thank you for your videos! Fir months I'm preparing myself for being independent and have a studio for my own. Day by day I discover other problems that I have to face and resolve. In the last month I begun to do something for me: I rediscovered my love for make up thanks to you and these are the few moments during the day when I forgot all my problems. After one month my friend visited me again in Italy and when she saw me she said:"how you look good! Obviously the problems let you look better!" No! Not the problems! 😄 I just follow your advice and feel better with a good make up that's done easily and fast thank you very much!

[sylviamaney]

Thank you so very much this has been extremely helpful and yes I most definitely prefer your look with it under the foundation. I’ve started lye in life with makeup and at times I feel I must look like a clown. however I also know that with practice it will get better. I also watched your eye liner video and I also loved it thank you

[Jasmine..]

Thank you so much.., I prefer the foundation over the contour. I’m just now learning how to contour and apply makeup the correct way.., lol. All of your videos help so much .

[cherysepembroke]

Thank you for the detailed views of both applications. I will be switching to your technique as I was wondering why it never looked just right and my skin looked so uneven or patchy.

[sonianegra]

Yes, Thank you! ❤️😘 I followed your thecnic and I got so much compliments on how nice, beautiful, flawless my makeup and skin looked!

[beatrizflores]

Omg i just contoured before foundation IT’S FREAKING AMAZING NINA!! i was missing out all these years THANK YOU

[salex]

Your technique is fantastic! I am in my mid 40’s and I just now started contouring. I could never really figure it out and didn’t want something so harsh. This technique is more subtle for my age and I love it so much. My husband even mentioned to keep doing what I’m doing because it looks great! Now that I have learned this technique, I have been actually doing it every day so i don’t forget it…. Thank you! Thank you!👍🏼🥰

[valanciashanal]

U such a great teacher... I'm still learning about makeup and after watching your videos I've learnt so much even my sisters ask me about my makeup and I definitely recommended them to your channel.

[rainanderson]

I tried on new years eve 2022 :) OMG I loved it.Thank you .

[TheAnimeQueenVendy]

Okay Im glad I found this video, bc I have always struggled with contouring. For so long, all I did was just wear foundation and call it the day bc whenever I tried contouring over the foundation it just took off the foundation and left a “hole”, or it just looked smudged and I never thought of putting it under the foundation bc I thought that’s just doing to cover it up, but now I actually see the difference!! Thank you 🙏
