Dark lids inspired by Beyonce and Leona Lewis

[deannej21]

Fabulous look Nic! I am also a huge fan of the lipsticks from Benefit, the texture is so wonderful and glossy like. I just wish they had more colors. For those of us looking for a lipstick to carry in out purse when we dont have room for a lot of product, I think this is a great lipstick/gloss all in one!

[laylacoco1]

I absoluteley adore this make up and all your tutorials! Pfft for people telling you u wear too much make-up, I love make-up and I tend to wear your drag queen tutorial look on nights out, minus the tape and the wig :)

[rosemary644]

that was dark and i get that too the "you wear too much makeup ur so pretty u don't even need it" but sometimes i just feel like it... but i liked it maybe i'll try it one of these days :D

[LaydeeIndependent]

'who is it harming?' - POINT MADE!

[chicozena]

Hi love your work can you tell me the name of that highlighter its fab!!!!!!!!

[mosaicgraffiti]

that is so cute. and yes your skin is fine. you obviously know wut you are doing so ppl should mind there own buiz. i have days when i wear tons. and other days none.

[farhanajamal]

if I used dark brown instead of black, would it be different, or does it still give the same effect?

[Byamilet217]

I absolutely love this... I have always been afraid to wear black so intensified like that but I am so going to do it now.. great tutorial...

[opacre12345]

can you do Marilyn Monroe?

[vixmurphy]

Hey there, just wondering why you use a power and then a bronzer too? i find its too much on the face? thanks vix

[TheMulle09]

You are very good

[rodeoqueen55]

[shonaghx94x]

hey : ) i love all your videos <3 and this look is gorgeous. i was just wondering before you put your foundation on you already looked quite tan, if you were wearing tan what type was it ? & what shade of the foundation were you wearing (: ? xx

[shonaghx94x]

hey : ) i love all your videos <3 and this look is gorgeous. i was just wondering before you put your foundation on you already looked quite tan, if you were wearing tan what type was it ? & what shade of the foundation were you wearing (: ? xx

[bobthesquirrel666]

[nerdnina]

your tutorials are fantastic

[rtpgirl1]

Beautiful look. I love your sassy attitude! I bet you'd be great fun to hang out with!

[leatherdrake]

hey i have natural red cheeks how to i get rid of them?

[deannej21]

@leatherdrake Try a serum with vitamin K. I think Sephora has one by DDF. Also a color correcting concealer or primer in green will help to neutralize the red.

[Shusma82]

Can you tell me wich highlighter you've used om your brow en cheeks?

I've bought one of Lancome and Shisheido, but they don't give that shine as yours.

Hope to hear from you asap. Thanks!

[Vespertine769]

You are fearless with make up! Fantastic Tutorial! xx

[inesusanne94]

[zerando17]

You really are Gorgeous ! Love this look ..=D

[MsGama15]

Love it!

[calizzy09]

Love it.

[joycealekz248202]

HI Nic. Gorgeous look as always. I was wondering can u recommend a foundation for oily skin. My skin is pretty oily so if I wear those foundations after 2 hours is goes melting on my face...really horrible. Also I have a few blemishes that cannot be covered by concealers what can you recommend for that?

Thanks in advance. :)

[bananasquads]

pixi is right, how can makeup ruin your skin when the outside layer of your skin is already dead and is being replaced like every 3 weeks.

[tress831]

THAT is just absolutely gorgeous!!! Well done!!

[graphpaperlove31]

what is the name of the product that you put on your brow bone and below with the beautiful color?

[PiNkYStAr268]

i luv this video!!!

[DestroyingxXxAngel]

I love you're videos soo easy to follow!

[christ2006]

you girls are so stunning and talented. your cheeks are amazing in this vid. love everything about it!

[qetbacc]

omg you are beautiful.

beautiful bone stucture, my god.

[ShesSoCalledFire]

that nail color is fabulous.

[sariake]

where do you buy all this make up haha i want it ! :D

[Victorian9322]

I just recreated this look and it took like 5 minutes! It came out great! Thanks, Nic!

[sexckatxx]

love it!

[vronypony]

what is the name of the illamasqua highlighter? can`t understand...;)

[shmeepea]

i wish you would do a tutorial of your hair in this video! or tell us what kind of cut you get. it's gorgeous. x

[MayaGutierrez]

I love your nailpolish colour

[mimclaire]

I love all of the tutorials you do! They all look so gorgeous on you. I'd probably end up looking like a transvestite if I tried to wear them (:P) but they're fun to watch. I've even picked up a few tricks, so thanks!

[shann1233]

You do a great job!! Isn't it so irritating when people ask why you wear makeup all the time??? That just pisses me off!! They are just mad they don't know how to do makeup. Keep up the good work!! I love your look. And BTW, I've been wearing makeup for years and my face isn't messed up either. :)

[fetcheoi]

it's a quite hard to find good black eyeshadows. most part of them are shimmery, or don't have good coverage or just aren't that black.

you looks amaizing with dark eyes, it pops your eye color.

you're amaizing!

[cyberhdc]

It looks really good on u. But I can never pull off a look like that it will scare my kids lol. What was the name of the Illamasqua highlighter u use on ur brow bone and ckeeks? Its so pretty. Thnx

[kvenz6661]

you're so pretty. you pull this look off very well, i love your hair tooo ! (:

[rockstar081490]

are there two different girls on this channel that do makeup tutorials or is it just one??

[Nquraishi09]

Simple but sooo bold and eye-catching

[oceangypsy01]

You look gorgeous =) Dark make up suits you really !! Love it =)

[iTSAShlEyyyDUh]

what is the ftc???

[nicolectmy]

Wore this make up look last night out and it survived for 6-7 hours!!! thats though make up considering i was dancing etc! LOVE

[nicolectmy]

Just tried this make up look last night and it worked like a CHARM! went out dancing and all and this make up survived for 6-7 hours without moving anywhere out! LOVE!

[AradiaWitch]

All your eye makeup suits your green eyes so well but this one doesn't (makes you look much too drousy). But no loss, it's not a very nice one anyway, I don't like it on Leona either. Makes everyone add up like 10 yrs in age.

[mskleigh]

you are such an amazing teacher i feel like when i follow along i'm learning from my big sister!, who just happends to have an accent (; hope you have a wonderful day love, !

kristiin.

[cannibalmonkey13]

[fmrosealex]

[evancutey]

At first I was freaking out whn you were drawing the black creamy shadow over your eyelid. But I loved the outcome of the look! (:

[BunnyDaysBrittany]

Love this look, Nicola! It's amazing. Again, as always, I was hypnotized by you while watching. I can't get enough of you and your sister, keep the videos coming! =)

[nanashimara]

Can you and your sis please do a vid on your haircare/styling techniques? Your hair is just too cute in this video!

[poofalooo]

Can you tell me the clinique product you used? I searched for paint pot but I thought that was MAC? Ta :)

[rooftop007]

@poofalooo it's the clinique brush-on cream liner :) I'm not pixiwoo but I've got the same one and it's a great product =D

[williegofar95]

I think it might be clinique brush on cream liner :]

[fwaziri1]

Pls post the products that you use on the sidebar. It's sometimes hard to understand the names of the products you use. What is the name of the eyebrow highlighter that you used here. I LUV it. THX :)

[cutetxblonde]

I Love your hair in this video! If you ever do get the chance, a small tut would be so appreciated :)

[0oMarvelo0]

Love your nail polish... what's it called?

[poofalooo]

Hi there, I could be wrong but it looks like "south bank" or "thames" from nails inc. Sorry, bit obsessed by nail polish as well as make up lol. Sorry if this is wrong Nic x

[pixiwoo]

DWS from illamasqua

[dree143]

Just came across this vid...tried it and loved it! Your makeup looks flawless. Awesome job!

[halamahdi]

[SoberStones]

I love this - i think i'm gonna rock this for new years eve.

[AleciaAnne27]

I was wondering when you use the DUO glue on your false lashes about how long do you let the glue dry before placing them??

[brasilian4eva]

you look like STACY ORRICO

[Nuttyforbebeh]

errr no way

[lifeofkinseyandlena]

omg she totally does! i forgot about that girl

[oxRACH333Lxo]

[HasinaHORROR]

[MrsSluty]

I LOVE IT U LOOK great thank's xD

[MakeupByJamie]

[AleRocks12345]

How do you get your hair to curl like that?

[sammyloves2party4874]

im sure ur very busy but when you get time please please tell me how much ur foundation cost? and i love the eyebrow highlighter i would love to get some of my own.

[xFromFictionx]

how many times can you reuse false lashes? x

[DuneBuggy00]

You can reuse lashes multiple times as long as you keep them clean and tidy. Just take care of them and you can get a good 10 uses out of them on average.

[parnissia]

LOVE your hair in this tutorial! It's so glossy and bouncy!

[emmmaahblarh]

i really want the highlighter from illamasqua? - i looked on there website but cant find it anywere! i think i found something similar! but i dont want to buy it and then its wrong! :( really want it in time for new years! (yn) so if you could tell me the exact name or help me out would be really good (: ;x

[anarthaile]

I was having a look for this too but couldn't find it. it looks like the perfect highlighter! Can you let me know the spelling of it?

x

[PeppermintPeach]

I notice that when ppl say why do you wear so much makeup is because they don't know how to wear any. To each his own right I love makeup it makes being a woman fun!

[Imwiththeband1000]

So I have decided your the most amazing person ever! ;] I love how you do your makeup. I always watch your videos and try most of the ideas.. I also like what you said in your video about when people say, "oh you wear so much makeup." I agree with you 100%. Who is it really gonna hurt. I love feeling good, and having fun with the makeup. so rock on hun! I am a huge fan of you for sure ;] Keep making vidz. <3

[serdal22]

what brand is the highlighter u use on ur eye and cheeks pls nic?

[rubylmaynard]

what colour nail vanish is this?

[marilynalfieri1]

Lol your too funny "oh yeah i just drew it on" thats good your right they dont need to know everything!

[AppleNCaramell]

Love it!

[wadadlibabe]

you crack me up, still not sure about how to do a smoky eye for dark skin, also having trouble with nude lip ( I wear MAC NW43 foundation it that helps you figure out what shade I am)

[MACbrownieBombshell]

Oh Honey Im a nw43 and I wear all COLORS and I mean all you cn do a smokey eye no matter what color you are lol Who dosnt know that! Im a makeup artist get with it Girl.

-paige

[AnneLien1987]

I love the way you hold your lips when you put on the make up :)

[H0bla]

U look a bit like that one girl in newest american pie movie, btw she looks rly good and has that same accent. I love it! :P

[kittenpawsbb]

Beautiful!! like a barbie doll. I must try this look again, the first time didn't come out to well.

[lafolieviolet]

Hahaha it was during this video that it finally dawned on me what the heck was going on with my eyes (when you were sort of drawing in the left eye's line/socket). I finally figured out my left eye's socket is slightly more prominent. Make's makeup application a bit easier now!

[multipas5]

What kind of foundation and poweder do you use??

[ninjaduckie101]

she uses clinique superbalanced foundation and chanel loose powder that she applies with a mac 129 brush x

[xxtoni1991xx]

omg once again love the look and i think your right if people want to wear lots of make up let the everyone deserves to feel good about themselves

im so going trying that look right now so thanks x x x x

[maggiedacutie]

yah i really agree with what you said about people who say you wear too much makeup but its nothing bad. Im a makeup junkie and i love wearing different colors and looks and i always get criticized by friends saying I look like a skank or a whore and i waste a lotta money etc. Those comments get really annoying but at the same time i rlly dont care since i consider it an artform, keep making your videos. i love ur looks.

[CherryColaKiss]

Best makeup channel on YouTube. Hands down. I love this look and am dying to try it, have been since Kim Kardashian wore it to an event. I don't have black paint pot or gel liner... would black pencil set with eyeshadow suffice?

[lydia232]

What nail polish are you wearing??? Love it!

[97gino]

ciao

[ScillaNekoiR]

stupenda!

[Reinadejupiter]

Hi, thaks for your tutorial, but i need to ask, there is some option that you can put some subtitle in spanish. I`m from south America (CHILE) and i can`t understand all. I love your stile and i want to use it...

Greetings from CHILE.

Cristina

[Reinadejupiter]

great job, you`re amazing, greetings from Chile, south america.

Cristina

ps: would you please put some captions, cause i can`t get all the information, i mean, i wish i could understand all, but there a lot of details that i do´t get.. so please, please please make some option in spanish .

[xxjessiexxgg]

you look nice with no make up on 2 hehe

[rosesfromcharley]

I just got the highlighter because of you and I can't wait to try it!!!

[joannaviva]

Hiya, could I ask which highlighter it is? I've been looking on the Illamasqua website but can't find it.. I think I'm spelling it wrong! Thank you :)

[3vosymptom]

beautiful

[Karime18]

Have you ever considered using a eyeshadow primer to prevent the creasing?? just wondering, I've never seen you used any sort of eyeshadow primer, is it your preference? other than that love your tutorials they are very helpful.

[ANAMACROLL]

Is Ilamasqua´s furore pigment similar to Nars´ albatross? I do love how it looks on you. I allready have albatross. I was thinking buy furore but I don´t want to waste my money if these products are the same thing.

[babycrazy85]

I tried it and LOVE it. I have been doing this look for the pass few days and I adore it. thanks for the awesome tutorial!

[mgparis]

Nic - about the mole, I just remembered that when I was a teenager the supermodels were all the rage, and I once drew on a fake Cindy Crawford style mole on my face. That day I was on the underground with my mother who exclaimed "Wait, you've got dirt on your face!" and proceeded to wipe it off in public - aaargh! oh well, I guess it could have been worse, at least she didn't use spit... :)

[lostNlemons]

lol! agreed

[LovelesEntertainment]

[velvetsurf]

[TheLindaHarrison]

"men don't need to know everything" 5 stars :D x

[ExotiiqueBeautiii]

Sometimes I wear heavy make up, and other times I don't. It all just depends what kind of look I am going for that day. You look fabulous, haters eat your hearts out. :)

[Happyface1122]

Is it possible for you to recommed a foundation for my normal to oily skin that is super sensitive?? Most foundations i have tried make me break out. Thanks x x

Fabulous look by the way :-)

[PansiePosie]

Hi Nic, I have a question. I see you use the MAC 109 brush a lot for blush application. I would like to purchase it for the purpose of blush but was worried that it is too flat-topped and dense for blush application. How is this compared to the 116 for blush application? Thank you!

[pixiwoo]

To be honest i would get the illamasqua brush that is the same shape the mac one always loses hairs. But the brush is a fantastic shape and wicked for applying foundation x

[PansiePosie]

Thanks for your reply :)

[ParkJinna]

its so simple, yet so brilliant :)

[kittycat9949]

haha you were so excited about your reindeer jumper.. so adorable. great look too!

[glitterysurprise]

OMG I love this look! I really like the Illamasqua blush color on you. I might have to try some of those funky lashes! Thanks for the great ideas Nic!
