As a woman of color I love your tutorials when it comes to how in depth and detailed you explain everything. Even though we don’t share the same skin tone when I watch your videos you explain every single thing you do and why. I couldn’t contour my face before until I watched your videos! I absolutely love makeup now that I have your channel telling me how to do it. I appreciate you so much! 💕💖🌸

why does your skin colour have anything to do with this? just curious..

@Covers-and-Commentary 2 жыл бұрын

@@williamswayuk Um... since our skin is darker, the foundation, concealer and maybe some lipstick shades that she uses will naturally be different dark skin women do not wear the same shade of red as white women it just won't look right. watching someone who shares the same skin tone can show you exactly what certain products will look like on your skin. with makeup skin tone makes all the difference especially since for a long time makeup companies did not (and a lot still don't ) make a wide variety of foundations and shades for darker skin. When Rihanna started her line and literally introduced 40 different shades and over half catering to dark skin; then these companies started to follow suit. I sub to this channel because I learn from the things that we can share (eyeliner, How to blend, how to contour etc.) does that answer your question?

Juvia's eye primers are excellent and inexpensive for darker skin tones. I use medium. I also use the Anastasia for yellows and greens for that "pop". Sigma has an excellent primer in 3 shades, as well. Juvia's for dry skin - very wet Sigma for normal to slightly dry - it's buttery Anastasia for oily - it sucks up moisture like a sponge

I’ve just ordered the Wayne Goss mascara at your recommendation, so with this primer and Wayne’s mascara …. I can’t wait ! I’ve been using tarte tape shape , which is also an excellent product, but the browns and oranges tend to disappear, after an hour my orange transition is the same colour as my skin ?!? Anyway thanks Alex that was an awesome tutorial!!! As usual .

I have to remember to be precise and use smaller brushes when I'm doing detail work especially with my hooded eyes. And I really need to experiment with primer because I've always used concealer and I'm not sure that's the best base for me personally. Interested to see what other's favorite eye primers are. 😊 Thanks for the tips!

Just tried the Linda Hallberg eye primer, and it is the best I have tried ever!! I have lots of experience from many other big names (Nars, UD, ELF, ABH etc). This is the only primer that I do not have any creasing at the end of the day. No joke. Not even with my multichromes. Big plus is that it goes on completely transparent yet still amplifies pigment. My eyes are partial hooded and normal skin, if that helps. You can even use it on your lips to smooth out lip lines and increase holding power of your liners/lipsticks. I am not looking back at any primers in my collection now.

You can do it! I know it’s really intimidating at first. There are colors and types of products that are very forgiving for beginners, then it’s just a question of practice.

Here's the problem I find with eye primers. If I use an overly sticky one, the eyeshadow simply won't blend, or it will blend patchy. So you'd still need to set it, imo concealer works better in certain cases, if it dries down more matte. And you don't need to set it like you'd do with a sticky eye primer. I find that it varies depending on the eyeshadow formula itself. That's just based on my own personal experience, others might have a different experience. Lovely look btw, and I'm not usually someone who likes blue eyeshadow.
