Hi, you know how to do makeup PERFECTLY! I was wondering do you know what would be the best makeup to cover up scars, i have a small scar on my face from when i fell........so what would be the best way for me to conceal the scar?

[mardroid11]

[MelissaArlantico]

[lilyofthewoods1]

Very helpful and gorgeous colors. Wish all the tutors would list the items like you have.

[indigostarburst]

Gorgeous! and surprisingly easy. Thank you Nic :~)

[funkymunky778]

It's my prom in two weeks and I was wondering if you could give me some tips on how to do my makeup so that it will stand out but also not look cakey or maskey, I have quite small eyes, so a heavy smokey eye would look a bit too much

[PinkCookie62]

Omg I love that! So simple but so striking. It looks REALLY gorgeous on u. U & Sam r just so stunning, everything looks sublime on u girls! : )

[3Lonkero]

[alicex1995]

[KandieLyrics]

Hi I cnt seem to find MAC Signed,Sealed on the uk version of the mac cosmetics Could you possibly  send me the link to it or anything elze similar to wich i can use thankyou x x x

[hbeeteevee]

@KandieLyrics Signed, Sealed is unfortunately discontinued, however MAC's Shadowy Lady is quite similiar!

[MsWinkyTat]

Excellant tutorial!  Lol i open my mouth when applying most stuff i dont get it either maybe we think stretching the skin helps idunno ;) silly thing!

[tastilicious23]

Ur accent is Hella sexy!! No homo

[tastilicious23]

The best I've seen by far!!! N ur dead drop gorgeous....

[ecpjll]

what do you do if you have next to no space between your eyes and your eyebrows? For instance it looks like u have a good inch between the top of your eyes and where your brows are, mine are like not even 2 centimeters apart. Does this mean I can never have a smokey eye?

[kartapest]

Stunning! I would of loved to have seen how you would of finished the whole look - the blush & lipstick that would compliment this look.

[Seccrenicche]

Hey, could you tell me how to do a smokey eye look for eyes that don't have a clearly defined socket like yours and also a smaller space between the eye and the brow? I kind of have asian eyes so instead of the skin going in underneath the brow bone, it is puffy and goes out. I've tried watching other gurus with my eye shape, but their eyeshadow just doesn't look right. I just don't know where to put the eyeshadow.

[bubuka121]

its perfect!i wish i could have the products so that i could do it for me!AWESOMEEEEEEEE!!!!!!i love it!

[ashleyadelle]

Awesome! Thank you!

[MsCOLDBEAUTY]

I JUST LOOOOOOOVE YOU GUYS!NEED MRE OF YOUR CREATIVE LOOKS.PLEEEEEEEEEEZ:)

[Ankerouky]

LOVE the earrings as I also saw them on your sister.. Any chance you'd share with us were you got them? THANKS A MILLION from Belgium xo.

[frachipane]

@Ankerouky

I was thinking the same thing! :). Got an answer yet?

Ps...I'm from Belgium too

[Dihanny92]

I agree. I also love her voice.

[priscillaaries]

I'm going to do my first fashion show as one of the make up artists ( not a pro what so ever lol ) and I've been practicing/ watching this smokey eye look like crazy! This vid inspires me not be afraid to try new looks :)

[beautiijunkii]

This look is sooooo sexy!!! I love it!!!!

[campalamp1212]

I love your voice!

[sweet1995love]

i'm 15 hope i can do it ... cuz i loooooooooooove it ! :D

[lukeovivy]

Wow so easy thanks x

[MrsSweetRose22]

Wonderful!! Your explanation is very clear!Thanks a lot

[MrsSweetRose22]

Wonderful!!

[ecpjll]

that brush you're using to apply eyeshadow is so big and thick if i used it to apply eyeshadow, the color would end up on my eyebrows. I don't have very much (if any) room between where my socket goes in and where my eyebrows are.

[QueenOfPop11]

Let me just say I am in love with makeup and have always watched tutorials. However, I'm getting married in December and so have been watching many many more tutorials and yours are the best! You're amazing! =)

[RiennaDee86]

I was wondering if you had any tips to make dark brown eyes 'pop' - like any particular colours or techniques that would help at all. cheers :)

[sbeautyification]

LOVE it!!!! :D thanks so much!!

[foqiazafar]

Wow I really love your work well done !!!

[annaloto]

gorgeous! the make up, the explanation and yourself

[jaqzz1]

am lovin' these smokey eyes!!! i do smokey eyes myself nd iv learnt so much from this vid!! ty !!!

[thebirdisblue]

Has anyone else tried that mascara? I've read really bad reviews of it but it looks amazing here

[MYGOSH9]

@thebirdisblue - I've tried MAC Opulash, has had terrible reviews so took a bit of chance with it and it's the best mascara I've ever used. I've always gone for high street stuff like Loreal, Max Factor etc but I have to say there's no going back after Opulash

[PinkPlastic1]

very good

[blake108528]

I love you. :3

[Chelly1M]

This has got to be the best ever smokey eye I have seen on utube. Only watching in 360p but feels like 1080p. Love it .....

[HappyLashes]

i like it!

[BIJMOZ]

RIDICULOUSLY gorgeous

[karoizeable]

nice makeup, but those aren't smokey eyes

[biatchness08]

@karoizeable then what the hell do u call it lol duh

[Yvainne1]

I don't like you,you look so unsympatic and so ...

[annazraf]

@Yvainne1 Then don't watch, right?

[Yvainne1]

@annazraf I don't...I clicked just once ;-)

[Dashyloulou]

@Yvainne1 What do you mean you don't like her? You know her personally do you? Your comment is ridiculous. And if you "just clicked once" you must've wanted to :)

[Me0wzAPA]

Smokey Eyes @ it's FINEST.

[chopard4545]

thanks for the smut dupe for signed sealed!

[OompaLoompapa]

@chopard4545 You're welcome

[didamoch]

Why did you say you are Ethiopian? are you mix?

[chopard4545]

stunning e yeshadow...can you give me a dupe in Mac for signed sealed?

thanks

[OompaLoompapa]

@chopard4545 Hi, I think "Smut" comes very close to "Signed Sealed"

[Starlette420andahalf]

just a bit of advice when u do ur mascara like that it makes your lashes look a bit clumpy ive found if you just blink your eyes on the brush it dont make your lashes stick togeather so much

[Dashyloulou]

@Starlette420andahalf Are you giving that advice to Nicola, the person doing the actual tutorial???

[BionicWoman1975]

LOVE this look Nic! Since Signed Sealed is discontinued, what's a good MAC Duplicate?

[katj0na]

nice smokey eyes :)

[Crazyanna13]

love your tattoo!! :)

[mahimakukreja]

Explained the technique so clearly..no nonsense just to the point. great work!

[erinsprince3]

i love this tutorial.

[graijlo]

@Misswonderbitch hey I thought she did a great job explaining....you really live up to your little name there--huh?

[MissJessicaMakeup]

@Misswonderbitch are you kidding me!!? she explained everything exactly how it should be explained!

[sashkalitcheski]

@Misswonderbitch fyi just because you have difficulty understanding her doesn't mean she sucks at explaining and showing. It means you're dumb.

[RandiSierra]

@sashkalitcheski Seriously pixiwoo is thee best! You can easily follow along and learn things you never had any clue of.  It couldn't be more easy to follow the lesson when they are physically demonstrating the application for you .

[crazedstargazer]

@Misswonderbitch if you don't understand her then fine, go watch kandee I'm sure kandee would love to know that you have an inability to understand english as spoken by an english person (who invented the language) so you'e gone to watch her instead, I'm sure kandee's just thrilled to bits. BTW the champman sisters are known in the makeup world and are respected makeup artists, If you're having problems understanding them its says more about you than them

[majoremilyox]

@crazedstargazer lol! well said wat did the girl actualyy say because she deleted her coment!

[crazedstargazer]

@majoremilyox can't remember. Can't have been of much consequence if my brain has chosen to forget. oh well...

[sowhoat]

@Misswonderbitch i'm sorry for you, must be quite exhausting being that ignorant :(

[shantay11]

@Misswonderbitch thats weird i understood everything she said............

[erinsprince3]

thank you for the no nonsense tutorial. this has been the only makeup look I have not been able to master.. until now.

[erinsprince3]

can i just say that this has been the only makeup tutorial that has made sense. thank you for the TALKING tutorial. !!

[TheTara1980]

Would you mind doing some hair tutorials one maybe of a messy bobby pinned updo for short hair Please and Thank You :)!!!!

[FemmeChocolat1]

[bxbaby8827]

[animalroxanna]

Nice tattoo =)

[JuicyRussian]

what would be a good alternative to the MAC Smoulder Kohl? it smudges in a couple of minutes for me and I end up with panda eyes...

[Sowhat20036]

I knew how to do it but sewhere between feb to may it's started to look... Not so good:/ I'm glad I found u because otmwas easy and detail. I laughed so hard when u commented about the stoopid open mouth thing we all do! Hahha

[smileymileyfanemily]

thats so cool, you have a tattoo behind your ear! did it hurt to get it done?

[mpina09]

I LOVE YOUR METHOD! I already knew about the light to dark rule, but I never realized it goes horizontal, I always did it a different way...but anyway, your method and tips is just amazing!

[QuencyDevonn]

Beautiful smokey eyes : )

[msvivian88]

Love it! I do my smokey eye' with a liquid eyeliner all the way instead of just the corner of the eye's like you did with the black eye-shadow. It looks a little different cause you had used eye-shadow instead of liquid-eye'liner but it looks good!! as-well. I will try it your way next time thnx..

[SophisticatedKristin]

This is the BEST basic smokey eye tutorial I have seen! I love it and will definitely use this look over and over. Thank you! (Also, I have noticed the face when people open their mouth, I think it's hilarious. I've taught myself after the first time I used makeup to not do that, lol.)

[MiaAbdo]

found it! :) so beautiful! Thank you! I already know how to do all of this but i love learning new techniques :)

[KarleenDanica]
