Honestly I am tired of women/girls coming in asking for exact dupe of Kylie Jenner lips preferably if it's less than 2$  also so many of them coming and asking about contour products and how to do it I had this crazy customer telling me she needs to have very heavy foundation and it has to look heavy and cakey like everyone has to see that she has foundation on because if it's not THAT heavy then her "contour" doesn't show up GOD help me!

I just like a natural fresh face, sexy but not over done smoky eyes & sexy lips -  but nothing in the cat woman look

:bigthumb:

 

[ScarletPyramid]

I contour the ABSOLUTE SHIT out of my face and I'm not ashamed to say so!

 

[Yazmin]

I just do not get the whole brow concealing business, is there any point in using concealer around the brows???

It's mainly to give your brows a shaper, cleaner looking line.

Time permitting, I'll use concealer under the brows for this reason, too. I normally don't use a concealer more than 1 shade lighter than my skin tone, and I buff it out with a natural bristle blending brush - a tip I picked up from Angel Merino last year.

... Just like my makeup for work, a bit of eyeliner, mascara and either Pure Heroine, Punk Couture or By Starlight on the lips. I can't rock red or nude lips at work for some reason

THANK YOU!!! Professional makeups artists don't highlight under the brow anymore either. It's so dated! And it's not just shiny either, even using a matte colour that's lighter than one's skin tone isn't done anymore. Just match the skin tone with a matte colour or use nothing at all!

Save the highlighting for the inner corner of the eye and for the cheekbones of the faces.

Yes, the color i used was close to my skin tone, just to even things out. I often don't bother at all, my brow bones reflect light by themselves

Some of these makeup tricks are good, but they depend on the situation. They're not meant to be worn by everyone every day. They are good at the appropriate time.

It's like contouring. It was part of theatrical stage makeup for ages and ages. It spread to fashion makeup, then many women started doing it. At some point in the 1970s it got tiresome because women were not doing it right and not using it in the right situations. Now that contouring is back - it never really went away, just wasn't part of normal day-to-day makeup - the cycle will repeat. There's a tendency for people to use a sort of cookie-cutter approach - they see how it is done on, oh, say KimK and try to do it that way on themselves. But everyone's bone structure is different, and what works on a square face doesn't work on a round or triangular face, etc.

Amen! Funny thing is that you're not gonna find carved brows, majorly overdrawn lips, and highlighted brows on the cover of magazines. And there's a reason why you won't find these things on the cover. Contouring, yes, because again, it's a photoshoot and it has the right setting and lighting for it.

No contouring always looks better than bad contouring, that's for sure. That goes for all makeup, of course.

YES. I rather not contour than f*** up my makeup, but then again I do not know how to contour. I think I still have a lot to learn

December (Rita Ora) or January (Cameron Diaz)? Cuz from what i see online, neither one has either of them. Yes Rita has very defined, sculpted brows, but they aren't carved, nor are they highlighted with shimmer. They're matte and they're the same colour as her skintone. And her lips are aren't overly overdrawn. They're lined right on the edge of her natural lipline, giving a very full effect without being too much. And for Cameron, her brows are very natural (maybe a little powder to fill in), matte or possibly satin skintone brow highlight, and what looks to be a bare lip. Again, I'm looking at the covers online, so i could be a bit off. But I'm talking about Vogue, W, HB magazine. Not Cosmo, Seventeen and those other supermarket crap.

Oh I was referring to Rita Ora. There are pics inside that show her makeup a bit better. Her lips are definitely overdrawn. She keeps them like that much of the time so people think she has naturally very full lips, but they are nowhere near that full naturally. She has a lot of contouring going on, as well, and her eyebrows appear to be pretty heavily carved out (again, this shows up better inside the mag). Her brow highlight is probably a satin finish and only a couple shades lighter than her skin tone, but it is kept very close to the brow which I think is really important. It keeps it from looking too much and outdated. While the look incorporates some of the things you were discussing, the whole thing is done tastefully so it manages to avoid being too much. It avoids being that awful instagram look that is so big right now. I like some of those techniques, but people need to learn when too much is simply too much.

Thank you!!! And filters!!! Filters need to go! I don't trust people who use filters :nono:

 

[AstronautRaptor]

I'm always weirded out by an overdrawn lip.. but I think that's because my mother used to do it all the time when I was younger, and I would always stare at them knowing something was off.. I don't think that trend will end soon, but it's definitely a weird one to me personally. I'm not talking about subtle overdrawn either, I mean like.. crazy overdrawn lol.
