How to Contour and Highlight with Foundation: Makeup Tips and Tricks

[keeshaja]

Wow u r easy on the eyes!

[skyiscrying53]

You dont need contouring with those checkbones

[Maikeelify]

u r handsome.....:D

[BrushworksByChris]

@Maikeelify thank you so much love

[shylosworld78]

ok, please get back to me on my issue... i have extremely oily skin in the t area, and i've used matte primer, and it does nothing to slow down the shine... what can i use? please recommend the best primer that will block this oil factory...

[BrushworksByChris]

@shylosworld78 i like to use mac's matte cream. have u tried a powder foundation?

[shylosworld78]

@BrushworksByChris when you say 'powder', do you mean loose powder?

[BrushworksByChris]

@shylosworld78 usually powder foundations come in a pressed powder, ie MUFE Duo Mat or MAC's Studio FIx.

[shylosworld78]

@BrushworksByChris o,ok. i usually covergirl... but a little over a year ago, i was using raw mineral powder, which kept down some of the shine, but i just read that if i clean my face with an astringent b/4 applying my makeup, this will keep the oil down to a minimum... thanks for your time & advice!

[Zannnnah]

[001975aazzaaz]

Black ppl became more beautiful with green or blues eyes than whites...

[BrushworksByChris]

@001975aazzaaz i think green eyes are gorgeous on everyone... my dad has green eyes and i've always been jealous lol

[001975aazzaaz]

[FoxyladySuperfly]

Hi there! I keep watching your vids since yesterday steadily and I NEVER learned so much about makeup so far. Just 10 min. ago, I tried your eye makeup that works for hooded eyes and guess what... I like it. It really works though I have to practice. But I have still one BIG problem. It is about contouring and highlighting: My face is not very feminin. I have massive cheekbones, a "strong" lower jaw and a long, wide forehead. As if that weren't enough: a long nose. Maybe you can help me? THX Jen

[BrushworksByChris]

@FoxyladySuperfly if ur contouring and highlighting always remember that the areas that u want to push back or hide u use a darker color and the areas that u want to stand out use a lighter shade. i dont know what u look like or anything but based on the description u may want to not contour the cheeks, instead just add the darker color to the back of the jaw to round it out. dont contour the nose, instead highlight it. contour forehead like i did in this vid. add blush to cheeks.

[SecretBeautyxo]

You are flawless! xo

[boirocr]

Dang I can't stop looking at YOUUUUUUUU!!!!! Love the vid ;0)



[iFearN0thing]

really weird, that im watching another man put on makeup, but hey, i clicked the video, nobody to blame except myself.

[msnay0607]

[teaukeri7]

goodbye! you are too fabulous for my life.

[mizzaliyah]

This was one of the best foundation videos I have seen!! Great Job!

[MsLuisette]

Great info an yeah you're cute but honey It's hard trying to hear behind the techno music maybe tone it down a bit?

[TyraNeche]

You're very nice looking, the contacts work for you, and they don't work for most.

[djneufville]

You're much better looking without the makeup, it's too caramel and pasty on you. You've got good unscarred skin, why plaster over it. Maybe try the contour with less foundation.

[Bubbalicous713]

Ok you are shockingly beautiful. Omg I can't believe how beautiful you are. Love the talent

[Ladytiqua90]

OMG!!! Your are gorgeous!!!

[jayroxie]

[mzann81]

hey chris! i have a question. whats a good foudation and concealer for oily skin?? i use to use revlon colorstay in caramel, i loved it, but it broke me out, even mac nw45 foundation. ive been using iman cover stick foundation in 5 n love it, but the sick foundation gets used up fast, but it doesnt break me out, do you know a good compact or pressed foundation thats good for my skin??? thanks, greatly appreciate it if u can help.

[BrushworksByChris]

@mzann81 have u tried using an oil control primer b4 the foundation? 

[mzann81]

you the bomb!!! thats all i can say!! keep doing what u do!!

[dadon340820fx]

I love this video because u have on makeup but it doesnt look like u do! Looks so natural :)

[BrushworksByChris]

@dadon340820fx oh really? this was suppose to be dramatic! lol i would never suggest wearing this much makeup to look natural.

[dadon340820fx]

@BrushworksByChris lol its a lot of makeup but it doesnt look like it....that's a good thing ;)

[msbrownsugar75]

Best i've seen it makes perfect sense using multiple foundation. It looked very natural.

[MZZR2U]

[ILoveToScrub]

OMG you look so very young but still you are as handsome as ever!!!!! You should be modeling. I never knew the right way to use the foundation brush. You should be working on movie sets or boradway shows. You really are very good. You were looking very beautiful at the end too.

You have certainly given me some more ideas to try :)

[BrushworksByChris]

@ILoveToScrub lol. i know right! i prefer to look like a young man than a boy. i miss my facial hair so much at this point. i can hardly lookin in the mirror at myself. lol but it shall return with a week and I'll be my regular old self again. hopefully one day i will be working on big projects but i very happy doing vids for you guys. Im having so much fun and able to practice more and get better with each video i do because i have a way to see my work on film. its really a great way 2 practice

[sschucky88]
