I'm going to be doing a very in-depth talk to tutorial on how to apply Contour blush

Highlight and baking yo face. Basically all the steps to achieve that flawless face that we all see all over instagram

And all the celebrity makeup artists are doing on all the celebrities. I'm going to take you through every single step

I'm gonna give you the do's and the don'ts the whys and the why nots

So let's get started [and] I'm going to zoom [you] [in] a little bit so that you can see the fist

Okay, [alright], so at this point. I have primed my skin and I have on a sheer to medium coverage

Foundation right now you can put on any foundation it does not matter

Whatever you love it can be sheer it can be full coverage it can be mass it can be Dewy whatever foundation

You love just slap it on your skin

And then we can move on so I am going to apply Concealer on camera because that is part of this entire process

[and] the reason being is because

Depending the technique that you want to use to do your makeup that day

You are going to want to change the color of your concealer

So for instance if I'm just going to put on some Mascara [a] sheer foundation and some concealer, I'm going to use a concealer

That's only one shade lighter than my foundation or maybe even the same shade as my foundation on a day like today

When we are going to do full Beat

and we're going to do every single step the whole jazz Routine a full

Face glam look I'm going to go a couple shades on with my concealer [maybe] in between two to four Shades lighter and the reason

Being is as you will see throughout this video

My concealer color is going to change and you're going to be happy that you have on a lighter concealer because the end

Look is going to be very structured and defined and that's what this entire thing is all about to be like that flawless face

So I'm going to grab the urban decay naked skin weightless Concealer. This is my absolute favorite

Concealer and that is because it doesn't crease

I need the eyes especially with the way that I'm going to set it and because the fact [that] it's very

Hydrating and I am definitely dry in this area, so I want a more hydrating concealer if you are more oily

And you have a really big issue with step creasing. I would also recommend the Mac Pro Longwear concealer

It was one of my writer dies for years. It's just a little bit too dry on me

I've noticed so I'm going to be using [a] shade light warm

And I am going to just use this stick and apply a line under here

[aligned] [on] the side of the nose and a line here. I'm gonna do the same over here

Yes, honey. We are gonna. Look cute [during] [this] [process]. [I'm] also going to apply A

cross on the chin A

Line right here right there

And right [down] the center of the nose all right, so I'm just going to pick up a damp sponge

And I'm going to begin to blend this out. I personally

Love love blending out my concealer [with] a damp sponge

And it's also going to come in handy when it comes time to bake [the] face I?

Personally think that a damp sponge whether it's a [beauty] [blender] or like a different brand

[I] think a damp sponge blend out concealer better than anything else in my opinion like the past year and a half I've been so

Loyal to using a Damp beauty blender because I just think it [looks] so flawless underneath the eyes

And what I love so much about using a damp sponge to apply the concealer

Is that you're pressing into the skin as opposed to when you're using a brush you're like

Dragging like this and not only is it like more gentle on the under eye area

But I love that it's pressing the concealer into the skin not to mention the moisture will pick up any excess concealer that you have

So if you applied way too much

And you were way too generous your beauty blender will pick up the excess so that it doesn't get Cakey on your under eye

Okay, and then of course

We're just going to blend everything else out as well adding the highlight to the center of the face

It's just going to make everything look more natural

I always have to put it in quotations because let's get real there's nothing natural about this look

But in the end of all of this it is going to look so much more put together

and natural Esque as

Opposed to just having a highlight here and then nothing in the center of the face you want to bring the center of the face

And [the] under eye together so that everything kind of matches and looks in sync

And this nSYNc such a good band now. We have applied the concealer on the under eye area in the center of the face

I'm going to grab my translucent powder, and this is the rcm a no color translucent powder. I absolutely love this powder

It's my favorite because I am dry if you are oily, I would really recommend the Laura Mercier Translucent powder

It is absolutely amazing

I use it for so long until [I] discovered this one, and this one is just so much better on dry skin

so I'm going to put some this powder into the cap right here, so I can just work with it straight [out] of the

Just make a total mess. No big deal now

I'm going to do is going to take that same Damp beauty [blender] that we use for the [under-eye]

And I'm going to dip it into this cap

Directly into that translucent powder this scared the crap out of me the first time that I did it

I'm not going to lie because you're always taught you can't mix water with powder

You can't mix liquids and powders like they need to be done

Separately you know and so taking a damp beauty blender and dipping into powder

I'm like don't put that up my face like it's like terrifying but I promise you

this works if you want to set that under-eye concealer like

Nobody's business

[try] this trick it will change your life there are different options for you if you do not want to use the Damp beauty blender

And translucent powder a method you could do something like this and use just like an under-eye powder to set it

You could use something like the mac pro [emphasized] which comes in a bunch of [different] shades for the under eye area

Depending on your skin tone and that's on Mac cosmetics calm, and then this right here is the anastasia Banana powder

I love using these two together and separately [for] my under eyes but for the purpose of today's video

I'm going to show you this method because this in my personal opinion will make that under-eye stay in place all day long

It doesn't matter what you're [doing] your under-eye area is not

Going to move so I'm going to go ahead take the stand beauty Blender grab a little bit more [because] I've been shaking it around

And what I'm going to do is just tap it directly on the under-eye area

And I love this powder so much because the Laura Mercier translucent

Powder like not to sound like a hater or anything on me because I have dry under eyes it just makes that under I

feel like so creepy when I smile, I'm like ah

I feel like I could like having trouble smiling because it makes that under-eye area so dry

Whereas the Rcm A no color powder that I'm using right [now] doesn't do that. It does not feel dry on the skin

You're not going to want to wipe because then you'll make a mess of your makeup. Just press

Directly into the skin the entire time

You want to look up and really make [sure] that you're getting on the [under-eye] because that's where we all crease and [just] press press

press Dab Dab [Dab]

Bring it right there on the side of the nose

Down and there you go you do not need to bring this down all the way to here. Sorry

I keep looking in my Viewfinder to see my face

I'm just trying to some focus

But you do not need to bring the translucent powder all the way down here because this isn't highlighting or anything

You've already done that the concealer

This is just simply setting where you would typically crease so now what I'm going to do is I'm going to lightly set my entire

Face with a face powder [you] do not have to do this if you're crazy, dry

or if you haven't found a power of the to love or if you just like going and directly with Powders over top of your

Cream foundation I did that for years and years and years

But I'm just going to set my face really quickly so that you guys can get the entire like full demo for those of you

Who do set your face I am using the Giorgio Armani luminous silk Powder foundation?

I absolutely love this stuff like more than life

I just discovered it recently and it hadn't become like an absolute staple at my collection

[I] also love the Mac mineralized skinfinish pressed Powder, so

Beautiful that one is [way] more affordable if you're looking for something that's a little bit easier [on] your wallet now have foundation concealer

We have our under eye area set and we have our face set

So everything is good to go right so now at this point

This is when we're going to begin

actually the baking the contouring the highlighting and all that jazz [so] now what I'm going to do is I'm going to pick up a

ridiculous amount of translucent powder, and I'm going to

Really get on that beauty blender

and I'm going to literally go directly and under my eyes and just stamp and you want it to be as thick as possible and

I

Will explain why I?

Look like a psychopath right now

So I'm sure [some] of you right now. We're thinking okay

What is the difference between?

Setting your under eye area and baking your under eye area

And I will tell you the difference is when you set your under eye area

That's all you're doing you're just setting your under eye

And you're moving along with your day when you bake your under eye area you are making that bitch bulletproof

That is the difference drag queens have been using this technique for ever

We basically glamour makeup takes everything from the drag world you want to know how to do good makeup

Go interview a queen because seriously that's where all of this stuff comes from his drag queens get on stage they perform

[they're] under hot lights. They're dancing. [yeah], they are working and they need their makeup to stay in place

They need their makeup to not move they need to be

Perfect through sweat through dancing through the hot lights through everything and so they came up with this technique a long long long time ago

And we stole it from them

Something [that] [I] thought was so freaking cool when I heard this fact

And I have to share it with you is the reason that it is called

baking or cooking in the first place is because when you apply a

Ton of translucent powder to the skin that area of the face basically can't breathe and what ends up happening

Is your body temperature?

which is typically around ninety eight point six degrees give or take comes through and gets trapped between the face and the

[Transit's] mpow durand it literally cooks the concealer cooks the foundation cooks the makeup and becomes

Bulletproof it is the coolest thing [in] the world when you think about like that you are literally cooking your face at

98.6 degrees turn that up and on

98.6 and let's get cookin [you] want to bake any other areas of the face you can go ahead and do so I?

Personally like to just do the under eye area when I do this method

Because I don't want to make the other areas of my face - Matt

And I really don't have an issue with other areas moving or not looking really nice

but a lot of people like to bake the chin as well because of the fact that

your chin can really tend

To kind of break up and the reason being is because a lot of times you'll rest your hand on your chin

You'll be like this you'll do this you'll hug people and your makeup will just come up on your chin

So if you want to [make] your chin that is a very common thing to do dan girl

I'm looking so cute right now all right. So now that our face is cooking. We are going to move on to contour and honestly

Contouring can be very overwhelming because there's so many products out there. There's so many brushes out there

There's many different opinions out there some people say that if you're going to contour you acts

You have to use a contouring powder that is a cool tone. I'm gonna argue with that

I do not think that a contour powder needs to be a cool tone actually I know that doesn't have to be

Because there are some people out there that if they put on a cool tone powder on their face

It's gonna look even outside playing in the dirt

That's just how it happened you me look muddy and gray

And it doesn't work some people need a more neutral colors some people need a warmer color it just depends on

Your skin tone. I will say that overall. I think [that] benefit Hoola bronzer is a really beautiful color for contour

It's a nice neutral

It doesn't have too much red or too much [grey] in it

And it really does help create and eyeshadow on a lot of different skin tones

It's a really nice color my perfect color personally is Mac. Shape ster. I just recently found this like in the last year

Maybe like six to seven months or so if you feel like you haven't found the perfect shade yet like it's all good some people

Use bronzers some people use face powder some people use colors. [they're] specifically made for contour

Fine works for you, and that's what you need that's it

Just one good contour color and you're good to go, and then as far as brushes

There are so many, so I will just tell you my top two phase first off is this one right here. This is the morphe

[M-52] 3. [I] love it because it's longest bristles around the center, and it has the shorter Bristles on the side

So it gives you a nice line while still blending it out

Makes it nice and smooth and the other one is the Nars [Eita] brush
