☞Highlighting and Contouring...Diva Style (*not for everyday*:-)

[TemmieB]

Perfect!!! I didn't know I can set my concealer wit da Black Opal finishing powder...I tossed it aside....u look great mama!!! Can I email u my pic of where I highlight? I feel like I don't look right.

[asianminxxx]

Ur supposed to contour with powder not foundations

[SongbirdDiva4Life]

@asianminxxx Lol!!! Is that so??? Take a makeup class before you try to state your opinion as a fact! lol!!!

Hi,

What is the name of the highlighting powders that you used by MAC

[Glitterqueen08]

Great job!

[Tamalicious2]

your so cute and happy.

[raveenababez]

the end result was flawless! im a medium skin tone (naturally tanned brown) and ive always wanted to look for a highlight/countour video for darker skin tones because it seems more helpful since I struggle to find the proper tones for my skin! Anyways thankss for the wonderfull video :D

XOX

[MzTura]

I cant thank you enough for doing this video thanks hun!!! Just a great tip

[sherritaberry]

I got it! Medium!!! Thanks

[MsSpunkyb]

hi there ..what is the name of the nars product used for the shimmer?

[iheartny2001]

@MsSpunkyb NARS Albatross

[frauleinw]

You are really a godsend - with your tutorials and your self-esteem videos you are providing alot of people with some very useful info. Now a question: Must the final setting powder be colorless or can it be the color of one's complexion?

[Lil07Pink]

I loveeeee thatt eye look and you taught me a few things about contouring and highlighting GREAT VID

[Makeupfazination]

Do you wash your makeupbrushes every day? :) Just a question, btw your videos are amazing!

[AnOceanRose]

This is great, one of the best informative tutorials I have seen. Thanks.

[Bychance37]

Great job!!!!!! You are gorgeous!!!!

[pebbles8482]

are you a professional makeup artist? if not you def. should be. I learned so many tips from this video! thanks :)

[pebbles8482]

if you have oily skin is it ok to do something like this with cream base concealers?

[neutralflav]

Absolutely stunning...You are a beautiful person..Love the video..

[CHOZENVEZL]

Excellent!

[oodles12]

i feel like it's easier for african girls to contour and highlight because we have really high cheekbones as it is.

[msmakeupbiz]

this is the best contour video I've seen

[101Monieluv]

This is a wondeful video. Thanks for making it, I definetly picked up some pointers.

[GloriPhiGod]

Beautiful quick question I want to know is the whit blush you are using by elf or nars? I know that they both have one that is perfect for highlighting and it comes of gold. Thank you for answering in advance.

[narcotica1411]

Girl this was amazingly helpful again. I have been experimenting with highlighting and contouring on my dark skin (I mostly use Bobbi Brown foundation and Mac studio sculpt powder) and I can definitely learn from this again! Keep up the great, great videos, your dark sisters truly appreciate it!

[oromaoroma1]

[oromaoroma1]

[Makeupology1]

Very helpful! Awesome video!

[simonalynx]

Thank you. I will be practicing this weekend. Thanks again.

[jmichelle1974]

Great idea to contour with a darker foundation stick. I'm a NW45 too and I've had no luck with MAC's Sculpting Powders. I usually contour with Sketch eyeshadow, but I'll try their darker foundation stick and see how that works! Thanks!!

[MissEmbrya]

HOTNESS. We need a tutorial on that eye & lip too, honey.

I might look a hot mess, but I'm gonna try to copy this, lol.

[mizzchinkie18]

wow gorgous i have to watch this multiple times to really get this well master this look great video :)

[mocha1406]

Thank you really informative!! You look gorgeous Diva.

[Mhughley]

Great video! An additional tip, if you want your nose to be more streamline use the darker shade on your nostrils instead of highlighting them.

[BLQJAC33]

This was by far one of the most informative and helpful videos that I've seen!!! Thanks so much for the wonderful tips!

[guccimarsha]

[Stepho2Fierce]

when i set my foundation, it always seems to rub off on my clothing. is there a certain powder i should use to fix that or technique?

[xant4141]

Dose your makeup feel heavy ? but it looked good

[SongbirdDiva4Life]

@xant4141 thank u, it doesn't feel heavy at all thanks to buffing and blending :-)

[joacandy]

[Mimi8402]

Great Tutorial...I wear NW45/NC50 and whenever I check out the MAC Blunt blush it seems too light to do any contouring on my skin.

[ansbach74]

Un-BAAA-lievable. I will palce this video with my "favorites" highlighting and contouring videos. I like watching different methods also. Thanks for sharing.

[sarah1484]

Awesome!

[SongbirdDiva4Life]

@sarah1484 Thank you so much :-)

[AFRICANEXPORT]

Absolutely love this, looks flawless as always. Great video

~keep it real

[SongbirdDiva4Life]

@AFRICANEXPORT aww, thank you so much girl :-)

[ericca111]

you were right , this is not for everday but it was very nice to look at.

[Trecester]

Great video..how would a person prevent the lines or creasing once they put on concealer under eye? I use my finger but i still have these lines with concealer showing.

[mrsawwsome]

thanks, learnt so much! x

[jzfab4ever]

That video was amazing. I love how you showed us step by step. Thank you so much i will be trying that look today

[12quillemall5321]

I tend to buy makeup I think is my color, but when applied the color is too dark. Would you use the darker shade as a contouring makeup? Do you make your neck a darker shade?

[sherritaberry]

Wow you looked beautiful. Do you do this daily? If so wow! Thanks for sharing. It's always nice to see someone else methods.

[rssangl]

You look amazing...loved the video! My next big work function I will be sure to use this tutorial on highlighting & contouring. Thanks for making it a little bit easier to understand. I live in the boonies of New Hampshire and it's hard to find cosmetics for women of color, and the makeup artists here can not do makeup for women of color!!

[ade52286]

Really great tutorial, Thanks!!! Question... I use Bare Minerals. Creams can't be used atop powder. Would I have to change my foundaton, or use powder concealers? I don't think I've seen powered concealers.

[Divarmj]

Thank you for this tutorial. You did a great job as always.

[LaBelleQueen5]

Perfect... just as the rest of your videos!

[stylie]

Really enjoyed that. Now comes the tough part-gonna copy-wish me luck x

[mikers1242]

Hi, I was wondering have you tried mac's mineralized foundation with spf 15? If you have what do you think about this product. Thanks.

[SincerelyMiMiXoXo]

You should've done an outfit of the day :o(

[pinkysux]

[Smashinbeauty]

REally good video thanks :D

[SongbirdDiva4Life]

@Smashinbeauty Thank you so much :-)

[BlackBarbie989]

Thank you thank you thank you I'm actually going to MAC this week for this reason...I'm NW45 could I get away with using NW40 or do you recommend sticking with NW43?

[SongbirdDiva4Life]

@BlackBarbie989 it really depends how drastic you want your highlight to be. I'm sure you can use the NW40 if it's blended really well, but I prefer the NW43 because it can still look natural in terms of highlighting. :-)

[rainbowbrite1804]

excellent video

[PradaBagGucciShoes]

This is an old video i watched this a long time ago...

[SongbirdDiva4Life]

@PradaBagGucciShoes lol...how could you have watched this video a long time ago, when I just recorded it this past weekend?
