  Painters are the most amazing and talented makeup artists because they really have an understanding of things like THIS, that most of us do not. Appreciate this video more than you know. I’d love to see this in a series, where you pull your artistry talent into applying it to makeup.

  If I put on a red lip, I think I look amazing.  I put on a nude lip, and my lips disappear. So I try to do natural makeup and I look like a sick Victorian child. So thank you for this video,  I thought I was doing something wrong

  That feeling when you click on a video by a creator you've never seen before because they have a very alternative vibe and you think they're going to be super down to Earth, but then they pull out the Prada concealer. LOL. Really enjoyed your take on makeup! I don't think I've ever seen anyone take an artistic approach to makeup--which is crazy because makeup is such an artistic thing!

  If I could give this 1000 thumbs up I would! This is the 30 minute explanation for what took me over a year to figure out on my own - namely, I'm low contrast  (right now it's super obvious but I was MYSTIFIED) and can't wear high contrast without looking super, duper made up and glam. Love it, need it, want more!

  I've always had this theory that some people are "eyes people" and some are "lips people". If my grandma puts on a dark red lipstick with no other make up on, she looks amazing; in fact, she cannot go out of the house without her red lips. If I do the same, I look like a freaking clown and my dark circles pop like Madonna's music. Instead, I go for some mascara, maybe some subtle eyeshadows, and I'm done; for the lips, usually just a lip balm, or if I'm feeling more ✨adventurous✨, a gloss. I guess the contrast might be the reasoning behind that theory.

  As a high contrast person, I’ve found “natural” or “no makeup” makeup looks worse on me than no makeup at all. But I can slap on a bold lip like I was born that way. Once I figured out the high contrast thing, I gave up buying neutral makeup. Haha

  Bobbi Brown has long advocated this "double blush" technique that "fills in the distance." Whatever is "nude" on you, your-cheeks-but-better tone, then a pop of a brighter shade on top as an accent. Thanks for this detailed exploration; contrast explains why I look "formal" really easily with very little actual products if the contrast is too marked. That Beckham Cinnamon Kajal is perfection itself, isn't it?

  Omgosh, the lipstick turning "red" on you was WILD! I doubted my eyes for a few seconds 😂 Beautiful demonstration

  As a 60-year-old woman with absolutely no contrast… I cannot thank you enough for this tutorial. It’s really pulled things together for me. I am extremely fair and wear the same foundations shades that you do yet my hair is completely buzzed cut and platinum. This has really helped me thank you thank you thank you.

  WHY HAS THIS CHANGED MY LIFE! I've never been able to pull off red lipstick but I just mixed two together (a darkish nude and a tiny bit of red in the center) and I'm sitting here in my pajamas looking cool af

  This is the first time I see your content and this is the first time I've actually understood so many things about makeup. It makes sense that a painter can explain actual theory, which to me makes more sense than all those "season" videos and makeup tutorials.
