This is so helpful! I'm 44yo and I've been really struggling with makeup for my sharp and angular face recently. The age-related volume loss is REAL. I'd love to see a specific video on "un-contouring." I don't need to shade, shadow, sculpt, or carve anything; I need to lift, fill, soften, and brighten, especially around the eye sockets, temples, sharp cheekbones, etc. You have the perfect skill set to make this video! All of us naturally aging 40-somethings would be so grateful!!!!
I would think we could use the same principles but in reverse. To soften say a sharp cheekbone, you would want it to recede some, so a cooler center color with a warmer color sandwiching it (I’m thinking parallel to the cheekbone itself) could work to flatten the plane a bit.
The simplest way would be to use a medium-full coverage foundation, because that will "flatten" out your face a lot. The reason people add contour, blush, etc. is because they've wiped out their natural coloring with the foundation, so you have to add it back in. In your case, I'd use a foundation to even everything out, and then use a brightening concealer in all the shadowy spots, and a shimmer blush on the apples/center of your cheeks. Don't apply any color to your high cheekbone/temple area (makes it more angular). Think "round and full".
Can you do one for olives? Warm vs cool olives and Saturdays vs non saturated and how all those relate. I understand it may be hard to show since your not olive
Speaking of being careful about putting contour/bronzer under your chin/on your neck: I’ve had a few times I’ve done that this summer, and due to sweating and heat, I’ve ended up with what looks like dirt gathered in my neck creases, which is just the cutest look 😅
Yeah, cool, that did sorta click 😊. All this time, I thought the language used to describe the effects of makeup was sort of like when the grown ups in a peanuts cartoon were talking… but it’s starting to sound like words with meaning.
I'm so excited! As a not very good artist but I understand the art stuff, this is both reinforcing ideas I've had for years and opening my eyes to better ways to achieve them.
This is the only video that has ever (EVER) made me want to try using contour. This series is BRILLIANT. It’s been so helpful for me- an art math challenged person who loves makeup ❤
Oh my gosh, as a pale girly (think neon white) who has struggled with makeup for years, your colour theory videos have literally been life-changing. I no longer feel I have to tan my face and body because I now understand how to choose the right shades, textures etc for my pale skin. I can't thank you enough 🥺♥️
I find myself watching these videos with a grin on my face - you are a brilliant teacher! I’ve saved every single video in this series so I can go back and watch easily. I’m very grateful for you sharing your knowledge and for giving us a chance to up our makeup game based on our own faces. Much appreciated. 💕
Dude yes. Figuring out that a touch of peach concealer under the eyes as a “color corrector” to mask my tired mom eyes was a freaking game changer! It’s wild that color works like that. Thanks for posting. :)
The warm vs cool concealer trick you did clicked with me. I fell in love with the Catrice True Skin Concealer in Neutral Ivory even though it looks more yellow than the concealer I normally wear, and I could not figure out why I loved it so much!💡🤯 And thank you! I think I can actually contour my face now without looking dirty!
would love a video like this but focused even more on lips! what is believable lip lining? how to make you lips look fuller believably? cool vs warm colours, mattes vs glosses, etc. i am pale with very contrasted features (hair, eyes) but very pale lips. i struggle to make them look visible on my face without it looking unnatural
Oh my gaaaawd, I just had such an epiphany! Now I understand why the warmer blush always looked bad where the cooler blush looked great and vice versa.
I really appreciate all of the videos that you have put together regarding color theory and makeup. I have learned so much and I have become even more interested in color theory by watching these. Thank you!
This was absolutely so freaking helpful! Things I'm going to do: swatch all my bronzers against each other to see their different tones, turn the lights off and use a flashlight to see my shaded areas to understand my contour placement better, stop putting bronzer in my non mountain range areas (🤭), and I also need to use a lighter hand with my contour to help make it look more natural. Many thanks for all the education and helping me perfect my makeup application in a manner that's most complimentary for my face! Loving and eating up all your education!💜💜💜💜💜💜
"...their typie fingers" Ha! great visual; I can just see them poised to get pedantic on you. Thank you so much for the extremely clear and helpful demonstration.
I am a pretty desaturated medium olive, and this gives me a whole new way to think about it and why I like particular types of colors more in certain locations on my face. I have MAC Harmony, now discontinued, which was a really dirty gray mud color in the pan but by comparison to my skin looks like a normal blush and most contours are actually not grayed out enough for me. I can wear contour as blush and ooh, this gives me so many ideas. My lips are like a desaturated gray brown mauve with darkening in the “contour” areas and it explains why I don’t like using opaque lip products, because it doesn’t look like my natural lip contour anymore. Also, I could see that poppy orange with a desaturated rust or brown and that plum with a more fuchsia for the same effect.
I’m pretty good at makeup but I’m teaching myself to oil paint, this series has helped me sooooooo much with sort of reverse translating concepts I understand in makeup to oil painting ❤
🤯 I just realized why my favorite lip pencil works. When I first started figuring out lip products, everyone said get a cool/neutral tone lip liner and line your whole lip slightly outside your lip line, but it always made my lips look overlined and wide. Then I found your channel, and you said you didn't line your cupids bow. So I tried that, and it looked much better, but still wide. Then I found a red brown kohl eyeliner that I hated on my eyes because it didn't define my eyes how I like (~NC45 skintone). So I tried it on my lips since it's a slightly warmer darker version of my natural lip line, but I slightly overlined my cupids bow fading the sides to blend and match saturation with my natural lip line since I'm not taking it to the corners. Then I matched it to my lower lip. Best look ever. And you can't tell I did it the same way it's harder to clock brontour. My fairly pigmented natural lip line works as the cooler, less saturated shade. So natural and pouty.
Can you show us maybe how to mix cream colors that we already own into other colors? That would be a very fun video! Esp because i love to use lipstick all over my face, or use cream blush as lipstick, and it would be amazing to learn what to mix with a color to desaturate it and make it more wearable!!!
Because of you I finally got the GUCCI 01 bronzer and all of a sudden it works for me. I just could not wear bronzer b4 as it always looked so phony. Thank you. Love this series and would enjoy one for eyes and how to deal with hooded and down turned eyes.
This is the information I didn’t know I was craving. Now I understand some basic concepts (I was in band so couldn’t take art). So I can use those principles to put makeup on rather than following someone’s directions that may or may not work for my face. Love this series. And agree that you’re a great teacher.
my absolute favorite videos from you. you’re explaining and codifying what took me much experience to figure out. i also use highlighter in a rounded half circle over my cheekbones. on good makeup days people ask me if i’ve had my cheeks done (haven’t done anything). there’s a lot i didn’t KNOW though! warm and cool projecting/receding is huge. i knew depth and light had that effect, but i can’t use a lot of darkness on my deep-ish set eye with relatively lower brow. thank you kackie!
Kackie really brought me back to beauty CZcams by making it make SENSE! 🙌🙌 Thank you for approaching makeup in such a fresh way and giving us all new tools!
Great video!!! So many ligthbulbs turned on my mind for ways to apply these color principles to lip liner/lipstick/ glosses. Sligthly off topic but would be awesome to see some content about saturation/desaturation etc etc on makeup when applying it with your hair loose vs. Updo. Idk if more ppl have noticed this or if I'm just nitpicking at my makeup- but I've noticed colors that look ok on my face with an updo - will look desaturated and make my skin look sallow when my hair is down( I have cool/neutral skintone but auburn/brownish haircolor). I usually have to add more saturated/ shinnier colors when my hair is down and viceversa-
Hmmm…I think I’m going to experiment with gothy dark plum lip color (with a very light hand/blotting) in the corners of my mouth….Very excited to try this on my own face. Thanks, Kacie!
Amazing-that is why a yellowish color corrector works for those interior eye areas. It’s good to know if you want to use a color you feel happy about, you can make it work based on these principles.
This was the first time I really understood how bronzer and contour work together. I get the topography bit and the analogy works for me. Thank you so much!
Where have you been all my life?!? I've been binging your colour theory and it makes so much sense, why have I never thought about it before... Thank you for these tutorials.
6:59 “so here we have Latte from - WOWW look at that next to the color of my lips!” Latte from WHERE, girl?? A skin twin needs to know 😂 I love these videos.
I have been wearing makeup for 22 However, now that I have soaked up so much content on colors, body shapes, clothing styles, undertones, make up application techniques, contrast, chroma, etc. While also having wonderful teachers who not only explain what something is and the stereotypical way it is avoided or complemented, but actually teach you why those hard rules have exceptions. How each hue or tone or depth of a color can be used in harmony with your complexion and personal goals I feel so much more confident While doing my makeup, dressing myself, shopping, decorating, and helping others. It's sad that after decades of beauty advice I wound up in my thirties not knowing how makeup truly works for you. Why even though colors I love seem strange on me, or why I can't pull off certain pieces or styles or products. I encourage everyone to binge as much of this color education as possible. Kackie is a great resource❤ and Hannah Poston, style me Jenn has a bunch of wonderfully explained videos that truly are detailed, well spoken, with impeccably thought out explanations, as well as alyart, and ellie-jean Royden.
I discovered the whole sculpting concept thru having deep set & now hooded eyes from age. I never had a lot of visible lid when my eyes were open & had to bring any eyeshadow up pretty high. It was usually too much for colorful shadows (one n done)which I learned to keep close to the lashline with a neutral above the crease. Most of the time I just wore browns & taupes but have recently rediscovered color (subtly in light shimmers) I made my own neutral eyeshadow palette & it is a combo of mattes & shimmers, warm & cool browns. Face sculpting was a little more challenging since finding the right shades is more difficult. I have found the perfect contour shade (the lightest Elf putty bronzer) but actual bronzer is still elusive. Lighter bronzers are often too yellow or will pull very pink & look like a blush. Kind of weird. So I usually just skip bronzer since I do not tan.
Amazing, Chef’s Kiss, Perfection, free education on color theory for the face. I don’t know how to stress this enough. Thank you so much for your hard work and effort on creating and sharing this video with us. Sending so much love!!! ❤
Kackie and Alexandra Anele are my go to makeup artists. Wayne Goss too! (Esp recommend older girlies check him out!) But Kackie, no one beats your artist eye lol! I just love your personality and style.
Nailing it dude! My wedding is coming up in September and I normally don’t use any base product beyond correcting for redness. I’m going to be doing my own makeup for the wedding, so I’m looking for the right products. Any recs? It’s a casual wedding so doesn’t need to be a full beat-just a few really good products that I can lay down thinly and give a lot of payoff. I don’t want a bunch of goo settling into my fine lines
Thank you so much for the teaching. You make it all make sense. I've always LOVED color, but the understanding of your videos makes me very HAPPY about it!☺
I used be an artist before I became chronically ill. Makeup is my art now. I’m obsessed with colour. You are preaching to the converted. Interestingly my sculptor friend doesn’t get colour and loves the colour seasons. I’ve always thought it was too narrow yet not complex enough. I’m cool leaning pale. Use warm contour as bronzer. Except mob bronzer is awesome
Love this! Never cared about trying bronzer will I saw the right side. I love blush so much, though. Would love a video explaining whether and how to use contour, blush, and bronzer together
Hi Kackie, I recently discovered your CZcams channel (I know - have I been hiding under a rock in the UK?!) But just wanted to say I absolutely LOVE your videos - hilarious, down to earth, truthful. So glad I found you! Xx
Great video and while it took me a while to understand everything (actually still processing), the cool lip stick at the corner to contour the lip was so eye opening. I immediately tried it out as I bought a lip balm that was too cool toned for me and now I have a way to use.Thank you for sharing your knowledge on colour theory.
kackie pleeeease do a detailed topography for eyeshadow. I have trouble with neutrals. I have one slightly (more) protruding browbone, slightly more almond shaped, and with a fold (makes eyeliner rough) so i have to compensate by making my straighter, shallower eye look shorter. basically i can’t just “deepen up” the corners. natural makeup is so hard for me. these conceptual videos are the most helpful because you explain and demonstrate so well.
Hiya! I have been following this whole split-screen video series with great interest. In addition to color, saturation, contrast, and translucency, I feel like there's room for a discussion of glossiness. What I'm saying is that I make a lot of oil and I'm a shiny gal. And similar to how sharply-defined opaque applications feel out of place on low-contrast skin, I find that anything matte looks kinda bananas on my reflective face. Wondering if anybody else feels the same.
Same this tutorial brought it home, as far as color theory, for making contouring, bronzing and warm cool colors-sooo much easier, and more fun-rather than a struggle of what to pick from the deluge of products on the market-which have become so much more expensive :). Thank you, Kackie 🎉
These lectures are so full on. I need to watch each segment 3 times. My mind is hurting from info overload so I'll just chill and do calculus for a while.
You've absolutely crushed it with this eye-opening guidance!🙈 These tips and tricks are total game-changers 🙉😌 Your content is a treasure trove of knowledge 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I always find something new! Thank you 🥰❤️
ik you said the hermes lipstick comparison was just for you but IT ACTUALLY HELPED ME SO MUCH! i went to go try it and it immediately worked 😭😭😭 thanks so much kackie for the wonderful videos!
Kackie…! I LoVe all of the fundamental type videos you’ve been posting. I LoVVVVVe makeup and am comfortable with it but still…this content is GOLD! Thank you 😊
I really love this. You are such a great teacher!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏼 now, if I could only remember how to use it,. No, but I am having so much fun. I left you a comment earlier about how you're helping me. I mean it!👍🏼😁
I love how "geeky" you get with makeup. Topography I have never thought of before as far as a face goes, but of course there are highs and lows on your face.
Died and went to heaven with this video. Especially since “ my soul needed this” re Hermes lipsticks. It’s my money and if I want to eat ramen for a month to afford the Hermes it’s my prerogative!
You are amazing! Thank you ❤ I'm binge watching all your videos, my son is in hospital and you are both an entertaining and educating way to kill some time while I sit with him. You definitely have a fan in Denmark now 😊
Wowzer! Great teaching Kackie. I’m a newer sub., so I for sure have to go back and watch your videos from your playlist. You amazing in teaching and demonstrating what your teaching as well as such beautiful makeup application. Thank you sweetie.
Your videos literally make my day!!! I always check when you post!!! Thank you- you’re so informative, fun, and knowledgeable and I can always trust your recommendations. I have a drawer full of Kackie recs and I’m never disappointed!! Thank you 🙏
I'm loving this whole series. A request: could you make the titles more informative about the topic? Or if clickbait-y titles are necessary for video success, at least put the topic up top in the description box, as you did here, but not in a number of the others. These are so rich in information that I've already found myself going back to them for reference, and it's hard to locate the specific one I'm looking for. Thank you for your work!
All of these are really helpful. Can you do a video on how to make make up more flattering if you have very translucent skin? Because I have heard you talk about how your skin is “pale and translucent” but some people have pale, non translucent skin, or deeper but translucent skin. For example, I’m a light med to med skin tone (depending on season) but have veryyy transluscent skin. You can see every vein and red blood vessel on my face (and body) and I struggle with making make up look flattering. I found the video on “hollowness” helpful for this but was wondering if you had any other ideas/tips on this.
This may be a better question under the contrast video, but posting to the most recent in this series. (Which I am loving!) I would love a video on hair colour and makeup. I recently grew my hair out to its natural colour (mostly black-brown but with 25% silver grey) from the colour I used for years (warm brown with golden highlights). I have a light complexion (neutral, warm). I would say my natural hair colour leans cool. Since my hair colour changed, I want to use more colour (blush) on my face. However, going from an all-warm (hair and face) to a cool/warm (natural hair, skin) would lead to needing less colour (contrast). Curious about you're thoughts on this. (General for the community - just using me as an example). Cheers! Al

Kackie is great! As well as makeup by Spencer does all the brightening & soften styles for mature skin.
Can you do one for olives? Warm vs cool olives and Saturdays vs non saturated and how all those relate. I understand it may be hard to show since your not olive

A cautionary tale! 😭😭😭
Same..... 😏

“Lift…Volume… did that click?” YES IT DID!! I’ve had light bulb moment after light bulb moment! I cannot be more thankful for this whole series!! 💕💕
I love this so much!!!
Yeah, cool, that did sorta click 😊. All this time, I thought the language used to describe the effects of makeup was sort of like when the grown ups in a peanuts cartoon were talking… but it’s starting to sound like words with meaning.
I'm so excited! As a not very good artist but I understand the art stuff, this is both reinforcing ideas I've had for years and opening my eyes to better ways to achieve them.
Nothing has clicked for me more! I feel like I *get* it now.
This is the only video that has ever (EVER) made me want to try using contour. This series is BRILLIANT. It’s been so helpful for me- an art math challenged person who loves makeup ❤

I no longer feel I have to tan my face and body because I now understand how to choose the right shades, textures etc for my pale skin. I can't thank you enough 🥺♥️
Your videos really do change the makeup game. So much fun. I’m off to experiment. Please show us how to use this to bring forward deep set eyes.
What I love about this one is that it is giving me ideas for how to use the assortment of makeup I already have to experiment on my face.
I save all of Kackie’s videos under a playlist titled, you guessed it, Makeup Art Math ! Just so I can watch them again and again. 😊
I have something similar. I call it "Giving Face." I'Vve got a couple other people in there too, but Kackie is the foundation.
I find myself watching these videos with a grin on my face - you are a brilliant teacher! I’ve saved every single video in this series so I can go back and watch easily.
I’m very grateful for you sharing your knowledge and for giving us a chance to up our makeup game based on our own faces. Much appreciated. 💕
Thank YOU for appreciating them! It means the world to me!
The grey and blue of it all was genuinely a lightbulb moment for me.
Can you please make a video about your thought process while doing your makeup? That's how to balance the look
Yes!!!
And for Kackie to work on someone else's face. She knows her face so well, that it would be a good challenge to try all this on a fresh canvas.
One of the best videos I’v ever seen. Can you please demonstrate same techniques on eyes.
Dude yes. Figuring out that a touch of peach concealer under the eyes as a “color corrector” to mask my tired mom eyes was a freaking game changer! It’s wild that color works like that.
Thanks for posting. :)
What this series does is make me want to play with my makeup. Love the whole series!
The mountain range analogy worked for me for the warm cool! Yes!
The warm vs cool concealer trick you did clicked with me. I fell in love with the Catrice True Skin Concealer in Neutral Ivory even though it looks more yellow than the concealer I normally wear, and I could not figure out why I loved it so much!💡🤯

I’m a light cool olive. So many bronzers are orange on me. Lots of pinks look like coral. So frustrating.

Thank you for still creating teaching videos and sharing your knowledge. They are difficult to find these days.
Now I can see it! I didn't think putting bronzer would plump up your face but now I see it!
Kackie! Friggin love this episode. The color theory just tingles my intellectual dingle but also the education is superb. You’re a fantastic teacher.
Yes it works! Lisa J Makeup did the flashlight shadow last year. Such a good technique

Kind of weird. So I usually just skip bronzer since I do not tan.
Amazing, Chef’s Kiss, Perfection, free education on color theory for the face. I don’t know how to stress this enough. Thank you so much for your hard work and effort on creating and sharing this video with us. Sending so much love!!! ❤
Kackie and Alexandra Anele are my go to makeup artists. Wayne Goss too! (Esp recommend older girlies check him out!) But Kackie, no one beats your artist eye lol! I just love your personality and style.
Nailing it dude! My wedding is coming up in September and I normally don’t use any base product beyond correcting for redness. I’m going to be doing my own makeup for the wedding, so I’m looking for the right products. Any recs? It’s a casual wedding so doesn’t need to be a full beat-just a few really good products that I can lay down thinly and give a lot of payoff. I don’t want a bunch of goo settling into my fine lines
me: "ooo, that's pretty!"
kackie: "blush blindness in a nutshell"
I wore it all day and I loved it 😂
Thank you so much for the teaching. You make it all make sense. I've always LOVED color, but the understanding of your videos makes me very HAPPY about it!☺
I used be an artist before I became chronically ill. Makeup is my art now. I’m obsessed with colour. You are preaching to the converted. Interestingly my sculptor friend doesn’t get colour and loves the colour seasons. I’ve always thought it was too narrow yet not complex enough. I’m cool leaning pale. Use warm contour as bronzer. Except mob bronzer is awesome
Love this! Never cared about trying bronzer will I saw the right side. I love blush so much, though. Would love a video explaining whether and how to use contour, blush, and bronzer together
Hi Kackie, I recently discovered your CZcams channel (I know - have I been hiding under a rock in the UK?!) But just wanted to say I absolutely LOVE your videos - hilarious, down to earth, truthful. So glad I found you! Xx
omg, you just made sense of everything that I had a feeling was off with my makeup❤ thank you so much
Great video and while it took me a while to understand everything (actually still processing), the cool lip stick at the corner to contour the lip was so eye opening. I immediately tried it out as I bought a lip balm that was too cool toned for me and now I have a way to use.Thank you for sharing your knowledge on colour theory.
Thank you for being here! I'm so glad it made you want to play 🥰
kackie pleeeease do a detailed topography for eyeshadow. I have trouble with neutrals. I have one slightly (more) protruding browbone, slightly more almond shaped, and with a fold (makes eyeliner rough) so i have to compensate by making my straighter, shallower eye look shorter. basically i can’t just “deepen up” the corners. natural makeup is so hard for me. these conceptual videos are the most helpful because you explain and demonstrate so well.
Hiya! I have been following this whole split-screen video series with great interest. In addition to color, saturation, contrast, and translucency, I feel like there's room for a discussion of glossiness. What I'm saying is that I make a lot of oil and I'm a shiny gal. And similar to how sharply-defined opaque applications feel out of place on low-contrast skin, I find that anything matte looks kinda bananas on my reflective face. Wondering if anybody else feels the same.
have been using the cool side in the VB bronzer to contour, it's beautiful & I highly reccommend.
Really love your approach. Thanks for the great content!
Same this tutorial brought it home, as far as color theory, for making contouring, bronzing and warm cool colors-sooo much easier, and more fun-rather than a struggle of what to pick from the deluge of products on the market-which have become so much more expensive :). Thank you, Kackie 🎉
Cannot believe how simple you have made this series for us. Thank you so much!❤❤❤❤
Looking at the graphic you shared at 1:34, “what color season serape blanket am I?” 😂
These lectures are so full on. I need to watch each segment 3 times. My mind is hurting from info overload so I'll just chill and do calculus for a while.
Love this!! All your Dreamsticks look gorggg on you 😍
Yay! I’ve been craving another Kackie video!!
Yes, eyes video on this same type of color theory thang. Pleeeease?!
Your way of teaching make-up is sooooo uniqueeeee. I love ittttttttt! You’ve got a new fan .
You've absolutely crushed it with this eye-opening guidance!🙈 These tips and tricks are total game-changers 🙉😌 Your content is a treasure trove of knowledge 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I always find something new! Thank you 🥰❤️
The voice "I'm going to take the tiny version of that brush" gave me life!!
Love this video @Kackie. It's like the makeup version of creating new outfits from the existing pieces in your wardrobe.
Ooof I need a similar color to that rhode juicebox color. Not a fan of rhode or their packaging but I'd love a fuchsia cheek! wowowowow!
ik you said the hermes lipstick comparison was just for you but IT ACTUALLY HELPED ME SO MUCH! i went to go try it and it immediately worked 😭😭😭 thanks so much kackie for the wonderful videos!
Love these videos you’ve been coming out with. Super educational!
I freaking looOOoOoove this series of your videos! Thank you! They are immensely helpful.

I love how "geeky" you get with makeup. Topography I have never thought of before as far as a face goes, but of course there are highs and lows on your face.
Keep making these video's for makke-up please!!!
You are wonderfully smart. Thanks so much for this!
You are a dam GENIUS ❤❤❤
Died and went to heaven with this video. Especially since “ my soul needed this” re Hermes lipsticks. It’s my money and if I want to eat ramen for a month to afford the Hermes it’s my prerogative!
Amazing thankyou . Any help on picking foundation shades / skin tints would be so helpful .
💕
I’ve been loving this series so so much! Such interesting, easy to understand, and unique content 😊❤
THANK YOU! I've learned nw concepts!!!
So helpful ❤Please make a video for everything olive skin ❤
thank you for explaining the desaturation as coolness thing! that makes more sense to me now that i see it like that! :)
You are amazing! Thank you ❤ I'm binge watching all your videos, my son is in hospital and you are both an entertaining and educating way to kill some time while I sit with him. You definitely have a fan in Denmark now 😊
Wowzer! Great teaching Kackie. I’m a newer sub., so I for sure have to go back and watch your videos from your playlist. You amazing in teaching and demonstrating what your teaching as well as such beautiful makeup application. Thank you sweetie.
I freaking love that!
I'm obsessed with this series!!!
Your videos literally make my day!!! I always check when you post!!! Thank you- you’re so informative, fun, and knowledgeable and I can always trust your recommendations. I have a drawer full of Kackie recs and I’m never disappointed!! Thank you 🙏
I absolutely love these videos I've learned so much from you .Lesson time with Kackie yaaaay 😊
I'm loving this whole series. A request: could you make the titles more informative about the topic? Or if clickbait-y titles are necessary for video success, at least put the topic up top in the description box, as you did here, but not in a number of the others. These are so rich in information that I've already found myself going back to them for reference, and it's hard to locate the specific one I'm looking for. Thank you for your work!
OOOOOOH!!!!! Thank you so much!! Thank you for putting this in a way that’s completely understandable. So good.
Thank you for such a helpful video! I have learned so much about contour and makeup application after finding your channel!
All of these are really helpful. Can you do a video on how to make make up more flattering if you have very translucent skin? Because I have heard you talk about how your skin is “pale and translucent” but some people have pale, non translucent skin, or deeper but translucent skin. For example, I’m a light med to med skin tone (depending on season) but have veryyy transluscent skin. You can see every vein and red blood vessel on my face (and body) and I struggle with making make up look flattering. I found the video on “hollowness” helpful for this but was wondering if you had any other ideas/tips on this.
Yes! Ooh let me cook on this. What a great thought starter. Thank you!
You never cease to amaze me !
This may be a better question under the contrast video, but posting to the most recent in this series. (Which I am loving!)
I would love a video on hair colour and makeup. I recently grew my hair out to its natural colour (mostly black-brown but with 25% silver grey) from the colour I used for years (warm brown with golden highlights). I have a light complexion (neutral, warm). I would say my natural hair colour leans cool.
Since my hair colour changed, I want to use more colour (blush) on my face. However, going from an all-warm (hair and face) to a cool/warm (natural hair, skin) would lead to needing less colour (contrast).
Curious about you're thoughts on this. (General for the community - just using me as an example).
Cheers! Al
