[ANgieMARtin123]

thanks :) btw you sound like a news reporter :)

[TheChubbyDoe]

@ANgieMARtin123 she is a news anchor

[carolyn198205]

Ok this makes sense to me. I'm a makeup beginner and was really confused about the V.

[djk524]

Love your videos! :)

[djk524]

You don't have to listen... keep talking!!!

[LuvlyKristen523]

omg you talk soooo much!

[AfghanMuyba]

Awesome thanks for sharing

[aussiedonna50]

My goodness! Hasn't your hair grown!

[cruelbusiness1984]

thank you for postin this, I wanted the smokey v look but didn't like how my look kept turnin out

[cruelbusiness1984]

27 people 4got 2 buy eyeliner first

[sara29627]

Thank you soooooooo much for this video. I am totally clueless when it comes to make up, but I was able to do this technique and it looks great! It's amazing how much difference it makes with my eyes, making them look bigger and more awake and alert. I also think it makes my whole face look thinner because of the way it leads the eye up. Def. need to get a small brush though.

[BeautyBoyTV]

this reminds me of the look Madonna wore in her SEX book when she was laying naked smoking the cigarette. One of my favourite photos and looks ever.

[aalj12]

this is a great video...i have a question...i have a lot of space between my eye and my eyebrow...do you recommend that i go a little higher on the crease with the darker color, or just add more highlight? thanks

[graphicq8]

You look so beautiful here ! <3

[miab40000]

great tip!

[PurplePirate1288]

You have an amazing voice, you should be on a news channel or the radio

[TheRaerae1971]

@PurplePirate1288 Emily is on the news=)

[MrsAshleyBear]

I love your sweater here Em!!

[marcelinamarie]

u need to be on tv. seriously.

[XObarbarellaXO]

@marcelinamarie She already is ;).

[TheMagic66]

bravo!!!

[whatafan]

Hi Sweetie, Love your vids, I'm a bunch older, so I adjust your guides to suit a machure woman, but you're the best out "there". Thanks for posting - for all of us (even though some of us have not been "26" for a few years!

[MsGnette]

I found it- In this video you LOOK LIKE **Ryan Starr** from season one of American Idol!

does anyone else agree??

[kelsogonzo]

this is amazing. seriously, just about changed my whoooole outlook on the V technique! you made it so simple! thanks emily, wow.

[Rivss828]

I love that you used mac products!!!! :)

[dguzman0013]

Thank you so much for making this video!!!! I really needed!!!! I'm going to try this now lol. You are so gorgeous!!!!!

[ssstardust1]

Nice tips, I love the way you do your makeup. Great tutorial!

[jennalind7]

ufff i tried it an it ended up all sorts of wrong LOL it's so not you, though... your videos rock! i think i was just over analyzing it lol the outer v is so hardddddd aaaaaaa

[sexylexi447]

You are so pretty :) I have a tip for you though. I think you should try Covergirl's Lash Blast mascara. I think it would do much more for your lashes.

[mama2aDramaPrincess]

Thanks for the tip. I have been trying the outer v and just wouldn't get it right. But this helps a lot! Thank you once again!(:

[chamichams2008]

Thanks!!! Gotta try this now.

[MrsJustie]

Thank you SO much!!! Awesome! I needed this!

[12blin]

OMG! The technique worked for me! I got the desired result today, and I have been trying for weeks. Thank you.:)

[roxysecrets78]

Great job Emily, I really like your make-up techniques!!!!

[annapatti1]

Wow...you are a superb teacher...you have so much patience in explaining things very clearly and using easy words.beautiful video.this makes it so much easier for me to understand how to do the V technique.thankyou and keep up the good work

[babydiam0nds]

Thank you Emily, very very helpful. Can you please also explain how to get a nice winged liner and even on both your eyes? I can't seem to get the hang of that. Thanks again. :)

[takingbackamanda]

soooooo helpful! Thanks!

[whitalisci0us]

This video was so extremely helpful!! You are amazing at explaining things in a way that is so easy to understand! :) Thank you so much!!!!

[sonrisa663]

amazing technique....thanks, Emily!

[balletdiva007]

ok, so you know how you do the eyeliner first, well my eyes dont look good in a cat eye. i have korean eyes so im not sure what to do..

[MakeuploverR85]

I love love love this look! Thank you so much for giving your viewers such great advice :P I have always had a problem trying to figure the outer corner.

[goode2shuz1]

Thanks Emily I will try this out. I usually resort to tape as I have a heavy hand and usually get too much color going past my eyebrow tail. Then I look like I have a black eye. lol! Good info; appreciate this video. Have made it a favorite.

[Melimo]

Thank you for this! I don't look like a clown anymore LOLOL. Keep them vids coming, I LOVE your stuff! :}

[xraylima10]

This is what I have been wanting to learn and do properly. With this vid I now I can do my outer V much prettier! Thanks to you!

[JoeyTink]

Emily,

I used this technique just last night and it was much easier than what I had been previously doing. Thanks so much! Love ALLLL of your videos. Do you have any tips for lining your top lash line....no matter what I use or how carefully I apply it, it always looks messy.??? HELP!!!!

[ilpl13]

i love the tutorial, you are very good at explaining but i was wondering if you could show a video explaining your haircut. i love it, especially your bangs. i cant get a good look at the whole thing in this video but i like it.

[swannavon]

You explain what you're doing very well, Emily!  Thanks, and Happy Holidays!

[DafneCloe]

Very useful tutorial. Thanx, Emily.

[ladeedah1000]

Self adhesive lashes???

My everyday lip liner is Baby Berry by Jordanna that I have to buy however many they have everytime I go to Walgreens. Since it's out of stock so much, you'd think they'd order more often. It looks great on you also. I love your videos and your blog. Thanks for all the tips!

[laurzadoll]

They don't self adhere very long..probably twice..not worth it to me. Plus they get stuck on the container they come in.

[Annieaksamia]

mhsearching for a guy that would treat me well.

[ilove2draw1]

for some reason this looks really pretty.

[sammywhammyful]

WHATT!?!?!?!?!

[sammywhammyful]

WHAT!?!?!?!?!

[linda165]

Emily, your eyeliner application has gotten really great!!! Congratz!

[Beecozz7]

Very pretty, I will try it.

What camera do you use? Do you have a tut that shows how you do your videos?

Thanx & Merry Christmas!

[tinabeana99]

Great technique! Though I would prefer you use your drugstore makeup. It makes you more relatable and different. Thanks!

[varshabhargavi]

Wow that looks great. I have got arched eyebrows, and I am going to try this for the holidays.

[redcoltx]

thnxs emily i gonna try this technique . it looks so easy, but on you it looks really nice.

[kittyred1083]

love ur tutorials... it always gives me a good idea on how to do everyday makeup with inexpensive products... love ur hair too...

[angelkouari]

hah mac got to you i see....i was so happy that you were one of the gurus to show that you can get nice makeup looks without mac.

[buibear88]

lol yeah, so many ppl are hardcore MAC fans

[Ariel68peanut]

She has very few MAC stuff if u have watched and read her blogs enough u would have known she has not changed...she has always had few higher end brands but mainly drugstore!

[DebbiAnn2]

Thank you I am always up for something new. Thanks for sharing. Happy Holidays!

[damaris1128]

I really like this look, but have mega-hooded eyelids and little eyelid space to be able to make it work, I think. =/

[ColonelDeering]

Yup, I hear you. As we get into our 30s and 40s, the space between our eyebrows and eyelid start to droop and fold over our eyelids. Tried the outer V look, and it looks silly on me. :(

[verska27]

you should check pixiwoo she has one video is call Basics:big eyes/small eyes

[verska27]

also Basics:Blending there good ones

[ColonelDeering]

Thanks for the tip. Watched it both videos and they're great.

[NouNousa1]

@ColonelDeering omg that sounds so sad! =( thank god for botox

[ColonelDeering]

@NouNousa1....save your pity for yourself dear, you need it far more than me

[NouNousa1]

ooook i didn't mean anything by it...no pity... do u need a hug? you seem to take things so negatively ...apologies if i offended you wasn't my intention

[sugartastic1]

I'm going to try this technique tomorrow morning.

Thx

[BklynLatina86]

Thank you so much for the tips!

[melldot]

Excellent vid! I really enjoy your eye tutorials, but never was able to totally reproduce the outer v correctly, this is so helpful. thanks :)

[sweetntangy51]

ur so informative. love it :)

[janypany]

could you do a tutorial for asian eyes? such as monolids? :D

[olguillasoy]

Very nice idea! Thanks, i'm definitely trying that technique.

[Adeeva30]

Emily I just love your videos, very informative.. Thanks for making them

[deewaipio]

You are so pretty Emily. I've tried a lot of products you recommended that I would not have and thanks to you I've saved myself grief and money.

I do appreciate all you do and love your tutorials. You are helpful!

[WentLover1703]

have you got plastic surgery or anything like that maybe botox?? no offense but i dont see any wrinkles even when you smile! and you seem to young to be having a plastic surgery

[lynnctodd]

She's young-she does not need botox or plastic surgery because she does not have wrinkles yet. She just takes good care of her skin.

[meghanjanexo]

she's only in her 20s...thats why she has no wrinkles

[faiflorite]

my gwad u have such perfect skin! it's like flawless

[sweethoney2106]

Great video! I love using this technique!

[BeckBeck13]

awesome vid!

[KanyaSparkles]

Your eyes look AMAZING!!!

[kermitfrog70]

Thanks for posting your technique. You also used some of my very favorite MAC e/s. And I really love my Coastal Scents gel liner-it has so many wonderful uses.

[pinkpowerranger808]

grrr its the old lighting again lol

[emilynoel83]

@pinkpowerranger808 it wasn't light out when i did this, sorry!

[CyberCatt1]

You're very hepfull Thank You:)

[ImHavinaHoot]

Thanks for sharing your great tips and techniques Emily. It's nice to see you finally using MAC eyeshadows. I love my drugstore brands too, but MACs e/s quality is second to none IMO.

[MissMurderHarley]

this was very helpful and simple too! thanks darling :o)

[janetbsingletary]

Thanks for all the helpful videos--keep up them coming! I ordered some Coastal Scents 88 palettes for Christmas presents because of your videos--I would have never known about them w/out your informative videos!!! THANKS

I have told all my friends about you!

[violettiger21]

This was a really good video to watch, as i've never been 100% sure on the whole outer V thing! Thankyou!!

[designgirl96]

Thanks for this! Outer V technique has given me some trouble! Going to try this today! =)

[imrana6]

thank u for this!!

[MissThomCat]

Very helpful, thanks!

[Joycizzle]

Please do not be offended by this because I mean no harm by this but it seems like your upper lash liner looks more straight and clean edges and I just wanted to say that I really like it. I LOVE THIS LOOK!

[Asofterversion]

So pretty! Really funny that you posted this today. I just figured this out today by mistake. It is really easy to do this way!

[smilingjaws]

Thank you! Very helpful!

[twainslureca]

I was doing my makeup today and so frustrated wishing their was at tutorial for technique as opposed to a "look" because I have difficult doing an outer V. this helps so much and I can't wait to try this tomorrow!

[gokusgal1]

OMG! im so gonna try this.. especially the smaller brush tecnique...

[nicoleeeeee09]

Very Very Helpful :)

[doowopshopgal]

I love your look, on the money all the time! your videos have helped me to try makeup and it looks fabulous on me now! I get many compliments, thanks. love you. Stay well

[eirah84]

love it ... this been veru helpful now i know how to do it

[jamalee84]

beautiful

[Pookiebinx]

You look cute in bangs.

[kaleidoscope929]

Beautiful look, Emily.

[ofspngfreak]

Very pretty! You're like a barbie doll! I love this look.

[iamakitty85]

If you don't like her looks then don't bother watching, you don't have to be mean. It's make up, there's only so many variations you can do.

[nardxcorebitch]

i do like them. i don't know what your definition of mean is? but what i was doing is called being honest. and yeah your right there are only so many you can do but whats shes doing is the same look over and over just different shades of browns. it feels effortless. its my opinion. not a big deal.

[xlovechild]

you can be honest without being a bitch. =)

[nardxcorebitch]

and thats exactly what i did :)

[twirlingbunny]

i have to say you are one of favorites you seem just so real!

[beautyaddict24]

Really helpful Emily! You always do the most wonderful makeup :)

[BeautyBarbie22]

that is SOOOOOOOO gorgeous! Thank you so much!

[legallybrunette34]

You look beautiful. I'm really loving all the new techniques you show us lately. I'm definitely trying this look here, Satin Taupe is one of my favorite eyeshadows.

[Thekatieab]

Looks great Emily. I am very fair skinned and wish I could pull off such a dramatic look. Mac is a little much for me but I think I have some compairable colors from the drug store, I will substitute a deep brown for the black. Hopefully that will work. I will put some pics up on facebook.

[mgparis]

not Emily obviously, so I hope you don't mind my reply, but I'm very fair also and love dramatic eye make-up, it's just a matter of preference/getting used to it! just play around :)

[Thekatieab]

I have dark circles under my eyes, so when I use dark shadows it looks like someone socked me under my eye :(. Wish I could though.

[ayl1202starfire]

what is that light on 0:35-0:36going out the doorway?

[cutie2seen]

Great technique !!! Will try it today. Thx Em <3

[jessym95]

Hi Emily=)

i have a question if you can tell me what type of haircut you have. im planning on getting a haircut before christmas and i wanted to know if you could tell me.i know you said your mom cuts your hair but if you can tell me that will be great=)

[jennalind7]

what is the small crease crush you used? are there any CS brushes that compare to it?

[khayes9591]

Works for me! Thanks Emily! :)

[eyeshadowjunkie89]

Thanks so much Emily for always looking out for your viewers :) I love watching your videos and I can't stress that enough!

[smichaela1]

You look somewhat like sandra bullock, do you get that quite a lot?

[andrewsbabyG]

what about people have smaller eyes?

[asterismxx]

thanks for sharing this technique Emily! I just got the elf studio small dome/contour brush and will be trying this tonight! :D

[mikers1242]

Hi, Emily

I truly appreciate the new outer v technique. This has helped me to define my outer v. I need to purchase a mac 217 brush or a brush with smaller bristles to achieve this look. Thanks

[msmegz3]

Love this video!!!! very helpful! this look is very pretty :)

[lilxcarebear]

Very helpful Em! Will try this! :D

[hiddenradiance]

Cool technique! Thanks for sharing. :)

[rikuyanki]

Ur a sweetheart! Thanks for sharing! =)

[bmdobbs22]

Emily love your videos, but that one eye is a little uneven with the eye liner, its bugging me. The other eye looks perfect though. I feel like a lot of your videos have the uneven eyeliner on one eye, just wondering if anyone else noticed. I too have this problem with making the eyes match, I sometimes have to even take pictures of my eyes to make sure they're even

[xheathermichelle]

this comment was really unnecessary, things aren't always going to be perfect.

[andrewsbabyG]

people are not perfect sweety who cares if its uneven or not its life so deal with it

[xlovechild]

@bmdobbs22 you may be right, but unless the tutorial is about how to apply eyeliner, try not to let it get to you. =)

[NouNousa1]

i agree with you but thats because for most people the eyes aren't exactly the same shape...so ppl tend to follow the shape of their eyes and unless a pic is photo shopped then 9/10 both eyes won't ever come out identical ..can be annoying but u could look at it like it gives each eye character lol

[Pineapplegirl25]

haha woah ur actually using MAC

[0KellyAnne0]

"thanks for joining me in the video"

[SherriLovesCereal]

0KellyAnne0 - "thanks for joining me FOR this video"

Emily you are so beautiful and are obviously just as beautiful as a person.<3

[jandfcole]

This was a very easy to follow tutorial. Thank you so much for taking the time to really teach us this technique. :)

[elyanecash1]

I think the way you explain the steps to do the makeup is so great! Ive been trying to replicate the looks!! It looks so beautiful and classy!!

[laitae]

lovely! But I hate liner on my upper lid:(

[xlovechild]

@laitae maybe you can try using eyeshadow to line your eye instead

[laitae]

Maybe it will be more subtle:) Thanks a lot:)

[TheWishingstar99]

I really liked this technique! thanks for showing step by step. Do you think this would work with bright colors? I'm kinda in to purples & pinks right now... you are very pretty :) Thanks Again

[cosmonaut80]

Thanks Emily! This is so helpful. I have always had problems with doing outer v. I will definitely try your technique :)

[TheWishingstar99]

I really liked this technique! thanks for showing step by step. Do you think this would work with bright colors? I'm kinda in to purples & pinks right now... Oh yeah you are very pretty :) Thanks Again

[ashleighharder]

"keep an eye on..." lol

[dawno5678]

Thanks for being one of the few truly genuine gurus.

[l0llyp0pnp0pr0ks]

Awesome tutorial!! Five stars:)

I cannot wait to try it !

[nordstrom16]

I am glad you used MAC products, now i can recreate this look... Thanks Emily great video. Your beautiful inside and out!!

[TheBeautifulLetdown4]

You are my very FAVORITE beauty-tuber!♥

[Christineemariee]

I love your vids ^_^. You are so knowledgeable and a great teacher!

[dua333]

I just tired this , and it came out perfect --the v looks just like your V and I have been wanting to achieve this V look for a VEry long time but this is the first time I acftually got it b/c of this technique , so thanks a lot

[jcanangel]

thanks girl!

[MissprissMorgan1]

Have you seen Robin Mead lately??? I think she saw your cute bangs and copied!

[dua333]

Great Technique, thank you so so much-- you are my favourite, please never change

[mqs7524]

Great tutorial!

Very well explained, tnx.

[wildivy125]

Great tutorial! I love your haircut this way, can you please show how you style it, like this. :)

[jennarink]

oh emily.

thank you so much for this video.

it helped me a lot :)

greetings from germany.

[sassydevotchka]

you are such a beautiful person. and classy enough to take peoples critism without getting upset, like i would. i like your tutorials like this. it is so much better than most gurus who just say "apply crease like so" and do it. you take time to describe which is awesome because not everyone has the same eye shape or features. i think its great that you do so many tutorials with neutral looks. while colors are fun, some just aren't appropriate in the workplace so its nice to have variety

[BluegrassMaddie]

This sounds so much easier than what I have been trying... storm is moving in overnight so now I have something to do other than play in the snow.. practice my Outer V!!! Thank you so much for each of your vids and the advice you share. Happy Holidays to you and yours.

[sarahdaeun]

hair cut?

i love it!

[artistnsoul]

I've purchased all these higher end brushes from MAC and the one I use for contouring at the crease and outer V is an ELF brush from their studio line "contour/contouring brush" that's $3.... LOL go figure!

[211Georgina]

Beautiful look! Best tutorial ever...Very precise! Emily, u r looking great! :)

[poptasticfantastic]

so pretty :D

[laque123]

I really do enjoy these vids, Emily. You should do TECHNIQUE vids more often....I really don't get why people want to see more looks...if they don't get the technique down first. Besides, I'm pretty sure this technique would work well with any eyeshadow combination and it would still look great. Great vid!

[flyushkifly]

beautifully said. technique is the most useful thing to learn - if you have creativity, you can turn one technique into a thousand looks.

[dvonhusen]

@laque123 it is a compliment to Emily if we want to see more different looks and new techniquest because we obviously enjoy her quality of work. We tend to have high expectations for those gurus that we truly admire and enjoy. Making requests and giving constructive crit. is typical for fans:) Those of us who have the techniques down are part of her "client/subscriber" base and have different needs/desires sometimes. Not hating, just requesting/suggesting. Still a faithful fan!!!

[flyushkifly]

where is all this vitriol coming from??

i appreciate your attention to subtle details of technique, emily. this *is* distinctive. it has never made sense to me to apply outer v color, only to have it lose all its intensity during blending, and have to touch it up. i'm going to give this a try!

do you have any other 'technique updates' you can share?

[GaiiaGiirl]

Thanks for the technique Emily!! I'm going to try this out next time I put my makeup on. I always have trouble with the shape so using my wing as a guide is an AWESOME tip. Thank you! 5 stars :)

[msmayan]

happy holidays Emily!!! I like all of your videos, I learn something new every time :)

[kalio5454]

Great video! Thanks for doing this, I will have to try this out sometime!!
