[msbobo]

[CheerBarbie007]

i love the audrey hepburn photo behind you, her movies are amazing!

[mindysaephanh]

ouu i love her hair style . where did she get the head band its sso pretty.

[beabombshell]

Love, love, LOVE your videos! I just started doing makeup full time and get wonderful tips and ideas from you-they are so simple and do-able. I am a fan for life! :) Thank you.

[girlfrmmars17]

i love also her hairdo can u video it how its done? the bee hive thing in her hair? hihi! it is gorgeous!

[stylishmomy]

lovely look! what foundation and blush did you use? thanks

[curseabbie]

i would love to try this

but i have that problem when i apply eyeshadow, after a while, the eyeshadow makes a nasty line on the crease of my eyelid.

is there anything you suggest?

[askmemakeup]

Eyeshadow primer!!!

Try Urban Decay's primer potion. Also applying your eyeshadows with a damp brush, or mixing pigments/loose shadows with makeup sealer like Napoleon's cake line sealer, or Benefit's Shelaq makes your eyeshadow stay put all day!

[arebelangel]

I love all your videos!!

I just have two questions

First is that I have lots of dark freckles, and after I apply foundation, you can see it smeared over them. It looks very strange. Is there any way I can avoid that?

Also, my eyes are a green-yellow, and I just wanted to know what color eyeshadow should I use to bring the green and yellow out.

thank you so much!

[askmemakeup]

First of all, with your eyes, warm brown, bronze colours will really bring them out.

And with your freckles, it depeneds on how much you want to conceal your freckles. You could try a stick foundation in the areas that need most coverage. And just apply that over the top of the liquid foundation. Also choose a foundation colour that is half way between your skin colour and your freckle colour.

[Signai1976]

Hi gorgeous. I was just looking though the comments to see if I could find something about Megan's hair. I would love if you made a video about that.

[askmemakeup]

I will. Everytime the girls are over, I never get a chance to record it!

[Twindel5]

I love her hair in this video! How did you do it? Could there possibly be video on that one day?

Your videos are so helpful! Keep it up :)

[xxlanaxx]

thankyou! this has helped me so much!

:)

[linzip123]

great video! pleeeaaase can you tell me how you did megan's hair? i love it!

[MamaInvy]

What`s the name of the second song pls?

[askmemakeup]

Kiss Me Honey Honey by Shirley Bassey.

[writerchick92]

i love all your videos! they're so cute!

can you tell me the title and who sings the second song on the video?

[askmemakeup]

Thank you!

Shirley Bassey "Kiss Me Honey Honey"

[writerchick92]

thank you much!

Keep up the great work on your videos!

[hugs626262]

Hi im 14 yr old freshman can you give me an idea for how much and what kind of make up i should where? im classic very very pale girl freckles to the max high cheek bones any suggestions!?

[askmemakeup]

Tinted moisturiser, cheek stain or cream blush like Stila's convertibles or Napoleon Perdis' cheek stain, gloss and mascara. That's all I wore for most of my teens, till I was about 17!

[meggosaurusXx]

this is so cute!

i am going to try it

so good luck to me!!

XoXo megan

[wildxoxchick]

what are the best eyeshadows to use on dark brown eyes?

[askmemakeup]

My eyes are naturally dark dark dark dark brown, almost black, can't see my pupils! I usually wear neutrals like shimmery beige/sand, peaches, bronze, gold, turquoise, purple, browns. I absolutely cannot wear pink on my eyes with my skin and eye combo. And I can't wear silver. But i can wear dark grey and blacks.

[CrazyGeri]

I was going to buy that audrey print @ Ikea but I dont have room for it yet :(

[yennguyen000]

I love her hair too! I wish u could have a video bout that!Merci beaucoup!

[summerchild90]

The rings your wearing in some of your videos are absolutly adorable.

[northwharf]

can you please tell me what products you use? thanks heaps (:

[askmemakeup]

They are all listed on the side in the description text. Click on the "more info" button. I do this for every video.

[styxx321]

I love that the Audrey canvas from IKEA is in so many of your videos. I have the same one!!

[tocutie94]

hay amy can you do a black persons makeup dont take me WRONG

[askmemakeup]

Yes. I'm have a friend lined up. Just a matter of meeting up to do it. She's coloured South African. She's gorgeous!

[Ch16x]

How did you do her hair? It's gorgeous!

[LittleBitAZ]

wat's good eye shadow 4 green eyes & blonde hair? i'm new... lol and plenty old enough I shud know by now

[askmemakeup]

I think green eyes are the easiest to pick colours for. Megan's eyes are green (my model in this vid).

I think colours like peach, bronze, copper, burgundy, warm brown, taupe, golds, silver, turquoise, purple.

[leslielounge]

your friends make up looks great

[WhiteHouseRedDoor]

Ha! What fun looking gals!!! :)

[James007Girl]

You're so beautiful Megan!!!!

I think you're more beautiful than Jenifer Aniston.

Hahahaha....

[askmemakeup]

I think Megan has the most beautiful smile and laugh. I look awful when I laugh, especially in photos. Not Megan. It completely suits her!

[James007Girl]

and also she looks very beautiful because of your make up.He..

You're totally a great make up artist!!!!!

Btw,could you please create a video about the geisha make up???

[poratitipuri]

yeah.. i love the hair!! so do the make up..

[TAMMYANGEL777]

i love megan's hairdo in this video could u plz give some tips for such a hairdo

[jeleuelej]

i just love ur videos:) thank's for posting:)

[jessitanner]

Great tutorial! Whenever I use eyeshadow on the bottom of eye to get a smokey look, I find that it emphasizes the lines around my eyes. I'm a teenager, so I really dont have a lot of wrinkes - just normal laugh lines. What product would you recommend I use to prevent that from happening (I have really sensitive skin too)? Thanks!

[askmemakeup]

I talk about this in my mini mag on my website.... ww w dot askmemakeup dot com. I mean, I talk about eyeshadow and liner sliding under the eye.

I find that the smokey look or dark shadows under the eye, help disguise wrinkles (that is if we are just talking about the colour). If you mean it slides into the creases, then, yeah, check out my mini mag.

[strawberryxxxunicorn]

really great videos!

[wuikailing]

Thanks for your sharing Amy. I'm wondering how to apply eyeshadow on single eyelids?

[askmemakeup]

I have a couple of asian models lined up. We're just organising trying to meet up.

[lovelyladybella]

thank you so much for all your videos! :) they are so helpful!

[alinaiubi]

Amy, you have the best music in your videos!It really gives the listener a nice, relaxed mood.... I like the Shirley Bassey song so much, that I would like to buy her albums(I am searching for them online) keep up the great work!

[areagan77]

you should to a tutorial on how to do her hair, it's just gorgeous

[askmemakeup]

Shiseido. I talk about it in my frequently asked questions video if you want to check that out. Although the discussion in the comments for that vid has been that they are discontinuing it, and you can only get a "soft black" version. It sucks!!!

[derossilover]

that was a lot of help, THANKS!

[rheaMDC21]

hi!amy. thank you for sharing your videos. mwaah.

[xLORNA]

love her headband x

[MeGgL41]

Your friend really is gorgeos, she´s got lovely laughing eyes!

[ticklemelulu]

the music selection is brilliant. You make it look so easy. Well done :]

[AlanaDoesHollywood]

This is really cute. I've been looking for an evening look for attending the taping of a television show, and I think that this is not too overdone, but formal. Thankyou!

Oh, on your wall, what is that print?

[askmemakeup]

Thank you. It's an IKEA canvas print of Audrey Hepburn.

[BrendaYaneth]

Wow she's sooo pretty! I love the make up, all of it is perfect. I'll try to copy it, although I'm really bad with make up hehe:P

[16mercury16]

wow, u r very good at this, i love the makeup, and the hair could you make a video showing how to do the hair?????

[brenzhelle21]

Hey AMY,

[askmemakeup]

Ooops... I keep forgetting to do Megan's hair like this again. I keep promising it, and everytime she's over I forget! I think she's coming over tomorrow, so I'll try to remember it!

[lunniuxa]

[KCfan7706]

[askmemakeup]

I wish! I've had so many people overseas ask me to do their makeup! If only I lived in the US!

[LizzyDel]

beautiful job!

[HopeLovesPapillons]

I love all your tutorials--they are beautiful! I'm going to try this one and the Audrey Hepburn/Breakfast at Tiffany's one as soon as I get some false eyelashes for that look. And your editing & music is great, too. It adds so much style. I really want that photo of Audrey Hepburn behind the models--its so glamourous. Where did you get it?

Please keep making such great tutorials!

[askmemakeup]

I have a papillon! Do you mean papillon dogs?

The canvas is from Ikea! It was about $100 or so. I'm pretty certain they still sell them. I got mine about 6 months ago.

Thanks for the nice words!

[HopeLovesPapillons]

Hi, Amy

Yes, I have two papillons--a boy and a girl, Nino & Amelie! I think papillons are the best dogs in the world. Do you have a boy or a girl?

[askmemakeup]

I have a little boy, called Spencer. He's about 6 months now. I did have another Papillon called Dougal but he died a few months ago. Sadly lost in an accident. He was only 1 year old. :( I'm still not over it. But my little Spencer is related to Dougal, which is comforting. We actually got three from the litter when we got Dougal. So my mum has a girl, and my brother has a girl.

[HopeLovesPapillons]

Oh, Amy that is too sad! I'm so sorry. It's a terrible thing to lose a pet :(

I'm glad you have your other puppies to keep you company. They are both really adorable.

[askmemakeup]

I have footage of my two little puppies (I have a Cav King Charles cross cocker spaniel too) on my music channel... aben3084. And you can see all the others on my brothers channel.... sunaryo.

[maddywoo]

whoa, she came out beautiful. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial!

[Berryboogers]

Yes! Please do a hair tutorial on your friends hair!!

I really love that hairstyle!! ^_^

[askmemakeup]

Definitely.... next time she's over, we're going to do this!

[meowminx]

Is the second one Shirley Bassey?

[askmemakeup]

Yes. I list the songs in the description text to the right of the video. Click on the "more" button! I also list all the makeup used there too... just in case you want to know for a future vid!

Thanks for watching.

[meowminx]

Oooh I also love Blossom Dearie!

[nagarpoe]

Can you do a video on how to do the hair do like this one? Thank you!

[ItsJustSoPerfect]

What song is this?

[sweetyjsd]

Hi, i really like your videos & likewise the songs, may i know who is the singer? thanks

[askmemakeup]

The singer is Blossom Dearie.... for the first song.

If you click on the "more" button in the description text to the right of the video, you'll see that I list the music and makeup used in the video... just incase you want to know more about music in my other vids!

Thanks for the compliment too!

[sweetyjsd]

thank you so much, your very sweet & beautiful, by the way im a fan of yours.take care Godbless

[glitched18x]

yes please do a hair tut on this one! I love that retro 60's style look! =) great tutorial!

[HarlyQuin21]

Yes please! Hair videos. I love this hairstyle!

[Axelsaid]

I Love all your videos but i am wondering if you do hair also?

[MemoriesRain]

how do you know if you should do the brows or not?

[askmemakeup]

I always do my brows. Sometimes in my videos, where I do makeup on myself, I don't show me doing brows because I do it before I start filming.

[MemoriesRain]

okay, thanks :) I love your videos.

[heaartsxo]

quote ; I've had a few questions about her hair in this video. Next time she's over I might do a tutorial on how I did it. Thank you.

ohh thaat would be amazing you did a great job!!

[HarlyQuin21]

Did you use powder or cream powder on her eyebrows?

[askmemakeup]

I used normal press powder in a taupe colour.

[bouclerose]

i love her hair , an makeup looks really good ! :O:O

[askmemakeup]

I've had a few questions about her hair in this video. Next time she's over I might do a tutorial on how I did it. Thank you.

[djejgrpgkfRkdy]

I LOVE your videos! i was just wondering when you were going to do an asian video?

[askmemakeup]

I have two girls coming next week who are going to be my models. I think they are coming over Friday or Saturday next week.

[bambidandi]

i love this video! i love evrything about it :D Well done!

However, i have this problem with my lids. Whenever i try to do a dramatic look ( using 3 or more colours), it only shows up as one :(. I guess my eye lids goes too far back. Thats why whenever i put eyeshadow on, it doesnt seem to make a difference to my eyes..

Is there anything i could do about that? Please help mee

thanks!

[askmemakeup]

Hi there! Thanks for you comment. Are you able to email me a picture, so I get a better idea? I'd love to help you out.

[PinkChicken]

btw your friend looks like a cross between ashlee simpson and angela from The Office(US)!

[PinkChicken]

btw how did she do her hair with the puff? it looks really pretty

[askmemakeup]

Thank you!

I teased the top third of her hair with a comb and hairspray. I then did a sort of half up, half down thing and pinned it back. Then I did a side pony tail, and wrapped a piece of her hair round the band.

[PinkChicken]

I prefer watching you apply makeup on other women because they all have different facial features so we can see how makeup it's being applied. Thanks for the frequent updates, love the videos!

[askmemakeup]

I agree... I like to do a mix to show how these makeup looks work on different faces. I do makeup on myself because sometimes I can't get models! But I've got a whole bunch of friends lined up. And Megan will be a regular! She's my Tuesday Girl!

Thanks so much for you comment!

[ockstarray]

ha.. I love the music and background.. who is on the wall? anyway.. this may be too similar to the retro thing you just did, but I'd like to request that you show me how to do the audrey hepburn breakfast at tiffany's make-up.. I like to dress up like her and have never been able to get the make-up right.

[askmemakeup]

I was planning on doing the Breakfast at Tiffany's look. I have a friend who would be perfect for it. It's coming soon! It's my fave look of all time. It's a bit different to the 60s vid I did and this one. Less black eyeshadow, very clean skin.

Thanks for watching, Hannah. I hope you are well!

[ockstarray]

ahh.. thanks.. can't wait.. and I thought that was Audrey which was why I asked. Anyway.. I love the makeup in that movie and can't wait to learn how to do it so I can have my full look for once.. Maybe I'll do a tribute to the movie and your help with te make-up.. Can't wait.

[askmemakeup]

Oh... and it is a pic of Audrey in the background! My house is full of Audrey!

[Repulsia]

Hi Amy, I really enjoy your videos and use your tips (I have links to your videos in my blog, everyone should watch them!).

I'd like to know if the Napoleon brand you refer to is Napoleon Perdis, this is the only "Napoleon" cosmetic brand I can find. Thanks!

[aben3084]

Yes it is Napoleon Perdis cosmetics. Are you from Australia? You can buy Napoleon stuff at Myer and David Jones. And there are Napoleon stores and acadamies all over the place!

And thanks for including me in your blog! That's so nice of you!!!! Thankyou!

[askmemakeup]

Sorry... it is me... Amy.... I was signed in with my music channel

[Repulsia]

Hi Amy, Yes, I'm from Australia, Albury Wodonga. I feel so much more confident in using make up since I've been watching your videos.

I'm actually looking forward to my monday business meeting in Melbourne because I know I'll look good! No more Ugly Betty, mousey, make up mess!

Thanks!

Shayna.

[askmemakeup]

Oh that's so good to hear. Thank you so much!

Good luck with the job!

[indiangirl3]

Hi Amy... Are you in Sydney? I would love to get some tips from you for my skin colour..I have a medium wheatish skintone (Indian), black eyes,black eyebrows & black hair...

BTW great video :)

[Soleil56]

So pretty.

Im actually disabled in doing my own make up! Your videos clear a lot of things up for me! :) Thanks and keep posting

[christinelovesmusic]

that's cute. i love this video.

[callmequiche]

yet another great video! i, too, prefer watching videos of you applying your own makeup. but these are nice too. :) love megan's headband too. very cute.

oh! i found some napoleon perdis products at sephora today. they're also sold on sephoraDOTcom, if you want to pass that information along to your US viewers. ^_^

can't wait to see more videos.

[askmemakeup]

Thank you very much!

I'm doing makeup on different people, to show makeup application of different skin colours, hair colours, etc. But of course I will do more on myself.

[callmequiche]

you're welcome very much!

oh, i understand why you're doing makeup on other people and i think it's a wonderful idea. i just get a kick out of your facial expressions and posing. :)

i'm looking forward to a video using a darker-skinned friend/model/volunteer. ^_^ *crosses fingers*

[askmemakeup]

I have someone lined up. She's South African... she's gorgeous. Reminds me a little of Halle Berry for some reason. She should be coming over soon!
