you could tell the difference between a real professional makeup artist and Instagram makeup gurus by the way their hands work with the brush, the makeup, the everything. maybe it's just me, but I really notice that the real ones could do so much with so little products. like they don't need to pack 57 colors on your lid to make a smokey eye. they could do it with two colors and it would make you look like the real natural you but slightly enhanced. not like the really drag looking makeup we see on Instagram.
"IG" makeup gurus are still professionals, as are TH-cam makeup artists, SFX MUA's etc.... There are so many different kinds of looks and artists with various preferences and techniques. None (as far as professionals) any less talented than another. Also drag makeup takes a LOT of talent, knowledge, creativity and professionalism. Makeup artistry is unique to each artist just as any other kind of art.
What I like is to watch a professional makeup artist applying makeup on someone rather than "youtube makeup gurus" who just make up their own faces every time. So glad I found your channel.
Monika Blunder has such a nice voice and her make up technique is so gentle.. I just leave the video playing while I'm working on something else on the computer
Hi Lisa, so nice to hear from you and glad you liked this video. I had Monsieur Alex on my channel a few weeks ago and we talked about you how much we adore you!!!!!!! xoxo Monika
In these days when we see highly contoured faces,sharped brows, and overdrawn lips this makeup is such a beautiful shift ! I love your work and in my eyes you are the best makeup artist on youtube so far.
this trend of having a really dewy, shiney, glowy skin is beautiful and works great with girls with smooth skin but it does not work for already oily and shiny problematic skin and large pores at all :(((
Try to use first base for pore from Benefit, to have a matte looking finish, top up with a layer of solid foundatiob like Dermablend, then followed by liquid foundation to cover imperfection
Hi Monika, I absolutely adore this look!! So natural but super stunning. The model is gorgeous too. I love how you work with such big celebrities but you always take the time to recreate the beautiful looks you make for us. Thank you!!
The first time i saw gigi i just felt that everything about her make up is so natural and pinky,i ve been trying to looking for the eye shadow which gigi is wearing for such a long time, but now i think i should really get a tnrte lol thank u so much monica, you r so talented, and totally an artist
Oh she is just drop dead gorgeous!! that flawless skin, those gorgeous brows oh myyy Thank you Monika!! I absolutely love your videos, so much more knowledgable than many people who post here on youtube! & I think this was the BEST lighting you've ever had in a video
This is so beautiful, a real makeup artist ! She doesn't cover her face just the put up her natural beauty and that is the difference between IG guru makeup and real makeup artist ! Wonderful job ❤️🙏
What a gorgeous look! I love how she works with the natural beauty of the model! And her voice is so calming, its like meditating while learning about makeup.
Thank you for making videos like this! I wish someone like you would have been around when I was learning to do my makeup... I have redness in my skin from rosacea and I always used to pile on thick foundation to try and cover it. It is so nice to learn how to cover problem areas while leaving the rest of the skin fresh looking. It feels so contrary to the matte, full coverage skin that seemed so popular in the 90's when I started doing my makeup. I just loved this Monika! Your videos are always so well put together, and you seem to have a very thoughtful approach.
I love how perfected, yet natural you make the skin look!! You model is so stunning, I am envious; those brows are magnificent! I would have loved to see the original maybelline products you had used, but still adored the tutorial!! Kitheth!
Such lovely and fresh look Monika, It is so amazing that you get to work on all these fab celebrities . I love the Tartelette palette and did a tutorial on a natural look with it (I am not a makeup artist lol) xoxoNisha
She is beautiful, and has amazing skin! Love watching your tutorials your voice is so calming. Really appreciate the fresh makeup and just enhancing the natural beauty :)
she's like the perfect combination of Sienna Miller and Emma Stone. so so beautiful! and it's probably my favourite makeup of yours. brilliant job. :) but i would like to know which of the Maybelline products did you use on Gigi? Most of these products are not aviable in my country so i would love to know their cheaper version. :)
Which country do you come from?? If we came from the same country, I can recommend some local products. But I think Loreal, Elf, Milani, Juvia's place, and Maybelline did a good job though. You probably can find them.
Monica. this is by far my most fav video. I just love this look. I love your makeup technique. never over done but stunning. you are by far my most fav makeup star.
Monika this look is so stunning! It makes me so excited for spring! I just bought the tartelette pallette and I love it, such natural colours. I really appreciate you focusing on skin and either an eye or a lip or brows, your looks are never overdone. I find lately in the TH-cam world everything is so dramatic, it's exhausting! And BTW just loving all these videos you're posting lately, can't wait for the next one!
I am weary of seeing numerous make up artists using the same products - it's like they all jump on the same band wagon - nothing original. Yes, some of the products they use are good, but there are hundreds of options that are overlooked because it's not the "thing" everyone is using. I love the fact that you use a variety of high end and drug store brands to achieve the overall look. I also love the fact that you didn't overdo the brows or use tons of foundation and bronzer, 5-6 eye shadows and false lashes. I love highlighting but good grief, some of these TH-camrs have turned themselves into walking disco balls! I realize that there are special occasions that require a more dramatic look and more product, but for everyday, this is lovely. I'm subscribing! Thank you!
SO amazing! Thank you so much! I do wish that I could see which Maybelline products you used since most of us probably would be more likely to use an affordable alternative ourselves. Which Maybelline products did you use, please?
Agree, she mentioned she used Maybelline products on her and a Maybelline eye shadow but then she demonstrated using another brand, I didn't understand why she wouldn't use the same Maybelline eyeshadow she used on Gigi in this demo.
Based on my experience, this is probably why: Gigi is the official face of Maybelline with a contract, so when Monika went on location to do her makeup, they probably provided a wide range of Maybelline products to use on Gigi. They may have even gifted the products to Gigi, and Gigi was a huge fan of Maybelline before that, so she already used Maybelline. This is typical. When a makeup arist goes to do the Tom Ford show, there will be all sorts of Tom Ford products there for them to use, or on an editorial campaign, often times certain makeup companies will partner and so the brand will be used. Then when the makeup artist wants to film a tutorial for TH-cam for fans asking, they are obviously bringing models to wherever Monika is at a set or wherever, and Monika isn't going to have all Maybelline in her kit. Most pros of her level won't have all Maybelline. She's probably using her kit here, so she's got to use what she has available to her from her kit. It's fairly simple, though. You only have to make note of the colors she is using and then use what you have that is close to it or buy products in the same colors that you can afford. That's pretty much the case with most tutorials unless the tutorial is using one particular palette and doing the look for those who have that palette. Even then, you can use any products you have or can afford. You just substitute.
Hahah, yes I know, I'm pedantic though. I do purchase high end and drug store makeup. I do probably have a substitute eyeshadow as they are natural earthy colours and that's what I like to use. She used a lovely eyeshadow but we do not have that brand in Australia, Maybelline is nice, cheap and accessable :) thank you for taking the time to explain all that to me :)
This look is everything:)) can't wait to try this on myself! My friend from work and I love your videos- we are always talking about your tutorials and all your amazing products you use!
I’m the natural makeup kind of girl. That’s why I love to watch the real fashion and makeup artist and Hollywood celebrities and models do their makeup. It’s light and fresh and not overwhelming.
Both girls are gorgeous and so are you Monica! So excited when I see what you are going to use to get these luminous looks to the skin. I've heard that the Charlotte Tilbury foundation works best with her Wonder Glow. Is the Dior glow primer similar? Thank you for showing us up to date trends, looks and products!
I would love for your next tutorial to be in a black woman ... Color correcting, what shades or brand you use for women of color! That would be amazing Monika. 😘😘😘😘😘😘
As always, gorgeous work with a beautiful model with perfect eyebrows. I like the relaxed way that you explain everything and you make it appear so easy. My Shu Uemura eyelash curler that I have had for so long died today. The rubber bridge has separated. What is your favorite eye lash curler? Miss you!
Hi Nancy, love it that you are watching all my tutorials.....shu uemura is a staple but I have been using this new eyelash curler from Troy Surratt and you can find it at Sephora, it is so good..... miss you tons xoxo Monika
Hi Monika! Yes, it is fun to see you in action. Thank you for the recommendation on the curler, I am going to buy it. I forgot to also ask you, what is your favorite mascara these days? I would love for all of the girls to get together soon! We will have to plan something:-).
The model has such a fresh natural beautiful face.
I agree, she has such great skin for someone who is 20
+Taylor Hughes LOL!
+Taylor Hughes LOL!
Taylor Hughes Lol, I didn't mean it that way. I meant she looks beautiful naturally.
Mrpeachees she’s a supermodel 😂

Iiix
She is gorgeous. Loved this makeup. Hard to find tutorials that aren't like cake layering.
+Kaoshoua Yang-Pha Thank you and happy to hear that you liked this tutorial. Less is more, I totally agree with you, happy holidays xoxo Monika
totally agreed with you👍 Love this work..
ikr I love the her style makes for a very natural look
What I like is to watch a professional makeup artist applying makeup on someone rather than "youtube makeup gurus" who just make up their own faces every time. So glad I found your channel.
me tryna trick zayn
😂😂 lol
oh if only 😂
Gioia on the real 👏🏾👏🏾
I really like watching makeup being applied gently, it really soothes me. Its the ASMR vibes for me.
Monika waves those brushes like a magic wand, just so amazing the talent!
Hahaha, love it xoxo Monika
this model is ridiculously beautiful. and her skin is fab and so glowly. this is one of my all time favorite looks!
Thank you, I will have Alexandra come back for another video soon xoxo Monika
So happy someone actually did a tutorial for Gigi. She has been killing it lately and looking flawless while doing it!
Impeccable! Finally a tutorial that is straight forward and all about a more natural look - thank you!
This gave me ASMR
lol why do u think I'm here
Monika Blunder has such a nice voice and her make up technique is so gentle.. I just leave the video playing while I'm working on something else on the computer
Thank you so much for taking the time out of your schedule to recreate everyone for us to see. Very much appreciated xo
Hey Monika! This was wonderful, I loved the liner--going to try this today! xoxo Lisa
Hi Lisa, so nice to hear from you and glad you liked this video. I had Monsieur Alex on my channel a few weeks ago and we talked about you how much we adore you!!!!!!! xoxo Monika
I was just casually watching this video when I realized I totally know the model! I've had the pleasure of doing Miss Alex's makeup too! Hi Alex!
Beautiful look, thank you for recreating it! The model really does look like Gigi! x
the artist's voice is so smooth
In these days when we see highly contoured faces,sharped brows, and overdrawn lips this makeup is such a beautiful shift ! I love your work and in my eyes you are the best makeup artist on youtube so far.
Finally! I've been dying to know how her skin and makeup is always so flawless and dewy! Thanks from Australia!
when she said all maybelline products, i got so excited then I was like damn, when she whipped out all the expensive ass products :/
HAHAHAHAHA SAME
Barbie Queen same here :(
Like channel jjj
this trend of having a really dewy, shiney, glowy skin is beautiful and works great with girls with smooth skin but it does not work for already oily and shiny problematic skin and large pores at all :(((
Just use regular foundation and less powder try loreal Infallible Dewey finish
Try to use first base for pore from Benefit, to have a matte looking finish, top up with a layer of solid foundatiob like Dermablend, then followed by liquid foundation to cover imperfection
I feel yeah i use a super cover concealer and foundation full coverage
I like this makeup style more than anything else I have watched so far. I am a fan of natural looks. thank you for the helpful tips. ^^
I love how Monika says everytime "thank you" in a such modestly way even if she's a famous makeup artist. Such a nice person.
Stunning! Love your natural looks! Love your videos!
Wow her skin is beautiful. So light a glowy. Gorgeous makeup tutorial. You're amazing Monika.
she is so beautiful! love this look and how it is all about the glowy and natural skin! love how you never over cover your models.
Monika, what a great job again! So natural, so youthful and effortless-looking! Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing!:-)
Please share with us what the Maybelline products were!! Thank you!
She did she named them all and some she even typed the name
They’re all in description and she names them all
Hi Monika,
I absolutely adore this look!! So natural but super stunning. The model is gorgeous too.
I love how you work with such big celebrities but you always take the time to recreate the beautiful looks you make for us. Thank you!!
I really appreciate that you listened to our request for a tutorial on a "blemished" skin though the model's skin is perfect!
The first time i saw gigi i just felt that everything about her make up is so natural and pinky,i ve been trying to looking for the eye shadow which gigi is wearing for such a long time, but now i think i should really get a tnrte lol thank u so much monica, you r so talented, and totally an artist

Her skin perfect but the way how you put make up is amazing clean and you show her beauty
This is so beautiful, a real makeup artist !
She doesn't cover her face just the put up her natural beauty and that is the difference between IG guru makeup and real makeup artist !
Wonderful job ❤️🙏
I love it that she uses the powderpuff not to mess up with the skin makeup. Amazing tutorial!
fabulous love GIGI beautiful look!!!!! Xoxo
What a gorgeous look! I love how she works with the natural beauty of the model! And her voice is so calming, its like meditating while learning about makeup.

This is just beautiful Monika, thank you for sharing!! I have missed you!! xo Wendy
I am never disappointed with your videos. I love your light-handed approach to makeup.
finally !!! Someone who doesn't put a tone of make up and the final look is beautiful
Love the tip to place a dot and then connect the rest of the eyeliner! That's a simple but effective trick, thanks!

Beautiful makeup look, dear Monika! Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful lessons! You are beautiful inside and out! :)
SO amazing! Thank you so much! I do wish that I could see which Maybelline products you used since most of us probably would be more likely to use an affordable alternative ourselves. Which Maybelline products did you use, please?

Thanks Monica :) your work is stunning and you are amazing. Love how cool and sweet you are too. Totally inspiring.
She is so cute!! Love that makeup btw, that glow skin is just perfect
great job Monika!! your model is beautiful she looks like a mix of Gigi and Emma stone
Absolutely gorgeous, will definitely try to recreate this look! Always find the Chanel bronzer to look so orangey though. xx
Would it be possible for you to list the maybelline products you used? I'm on a budget so drugstore makeup would be easier for me :)
Really just beautiful !!!! She resembles Gigi !!!
Wonderful concealing tips!! Beautiful work!! Thank you.
Stunning! Great job Monika!!
she is so stunning- lovely look
I just wish if makeup artist on youtube could put makeup on a very basic normal faces ... Not perfect pretty faces 😞
Agreed !
That wouldn't be a successfully video cause the ending look would look as professional
+Miss R i love Lisa :) She is such a pleasant person.
agree!!
+Yosra Ryan check out @advisemystyle he has great tutorials and real tutorials
I’m the natural makeup kind of girl. That’s why I love to watch the real fashion and makeup artist and Hollywood celebrities and models do their makeup. It’s light and fresh and not overwhelming.
What maybelline products did you use. I'm short on cash.
Both girls are gorgeous and so are you Monica! So excited when I see what you are going to use to get these luminous looks to the skin. I've heard that the Charlotte Tilbury foundation works best with her Wonder Glow. Is the Dior glow primer similar? Thank you for showing us up to date trends, looks and products!
I would love for your next tutorial to be in a black woman ... Color correcting, what shades or brand you use for women of color! That would be amazing Monika. 😘😘😘😘😘😘
As always, gorgeous work with a beautiful model with perfect eyebrows. I like the relaxed way that you explain everything and you make it appear so easy.
My Shu Uemura eyelash curler that I have had for so long died today. The rubber bridge has separated. What is your favorite eye lash curler?
Miss you!
Hi Nancy, love it that you are watching all my tutorials.....shu uemura is a staple but I have been using this new eyelash curler from Troy Surratt and you can find it at Sephora, it is so good..... miss you tons xoxo Monika
Hi Monika! Yes, it is fun to see you in action. Thank you for the recommendation on the curler, I am going to buy it. I forgot to also ask you, what is your favorite mascara these days?
I would love for all of the girls to get together soon! We will have to plan something:-).
Monika you are real make up artist...🔝🔝🔝
Gorgeous!! I think I'll be using this look a lot, thank you so much! Also thinking about trying your other tutorials. Kinda addicted :p
