Karima, I love how articulate you are in describing steps and techniques. You're gifted in teaching makeup skills and have an outstanding turn of phrase. Splendid work.
I didn't even need to watch the video before knowing I'd love it. Your skills/overall intelligence about makeup is so admirable, and I can only hope to know half as much as you do one day
Amazing effect! I love the idea with the bottom lash line. Can't wait to try recreating this! I love how clear your swatches are. I make my own mineral makeup and eyeshadows. You make recreating the products and looks so fun! I love your way of applying foundation, and I can't do it any other way now. You are my #1 Role Model in the beauty industry.
Karima this is the first makeup tutorial in a very long time that actually left me feeling SO inspired! You are so great (and absolutely stunning!!) xx
😊😊😊😊Your voice is so sweet and cute i love your channel i obsessed with your videos you are my favorite TH-camr ever I love you so much Karima and your makeup looks flawless ☺☺
Yayyyyy! So happy to have Karima inspiration for my Smokey palette, this look was just what I needed to get my excited again about the palette! I picked it up when it first launched here in the states in July, and I had already become bored with it, sad I know. But you've reinspired me girlfriend! I'd LOVE if you did a full Naked palette tutorial rundown, with your favorite looks using all four palettes! I own them all! Thanks for sharing love, I missed YOU so much! 😘😘
Probably my most favorite tutorial you've done yet! Absolutely stunning!! Will be trying out this look tomorrow. thank you Karima! You're amazing!! :) xoxox
I really love the photographs of the products you are using that appear on the sides of the tutorial. Especially for the eyeshadows. That was so helpful in really understanding EXACTLY what you are doing. Very polished and professional. I love your aesthetic for filming, editing, and also for your blog. Its one of the only makeup blogs I actually check often and read! Well done! I wish I could be there to meet you in person!
+ofrierson I'm SO pleased you found the photos helpful! Took forever but if you liked it, then it's all worthwhile :) Thanks so much for your support and hopefully we can meet someday
Its an amazing look, i did not find something specil like this on yt before with this palette. Love to see more looks with the Smoky Palette . Greets from Germany
The bottom lash line mirroring the top is perfect and makes your eyes look so beautifully big. I have never thought of doing this before so thank you for an amazing tip! P.s. Gorgeous look, as usual!
Words can not describe how much I loooooove this eye look, Karima! Just beautiful! I do have the Naked Smoky palette, so I'm excited to try this look soon. :)
I love this look, Karima! I also love how you pictured three shadows at a time so that we can locate the shadow in the pan really quickly, very thoughtful in my opinion :)
This is so pretty!!! I'm not into smoky eyes, but lately I have started joining the bandwagon. But I only do one color smoky eyes. But, might try this when I got my hands on the palette :)
This is so GORGEOUS!!! I swear when you do the more vampy/glam looks your whole face changes! Either way, always stunning. So in love with your looks and personality!!!
I don't quite understand how you don't have millions of subscribers considering your looks are always interesting and you almost always have something new to say even if it's a look that you've done something close to before, it's a bit confusing. Anyways, lovely look as always.
this is absolutely amazing you're talent is just unreal I feel so so inspired by this look and now I want that naked smokey. I wasn't going to get it but seeing this is suddenly feel like I could do so so much with it
I absolutely love the liner on this! For me having black all along the lower waterline really makes my eye look closed off so I'm totally gonna try this with everythingggggggggg
Karima you are just so stunning! I am loving this silvery/taupe smokey eye on you. You are making me want that palette! I don't ever reach for my other 3 naked palettes but this one look so gorgeous on you!
+Her Beauty Obsession I'm feeling the cooler colours, recently! I have a soft spot for the Naked 3 also, have you seen that tutorial? th-cam.com/video/XJ08MB_KIi4/w-d-xo.html Old video but I still love the placement :) x
Karima McKimmie Oh yes! I've seen all of your videos! I've learned a trick or two from you. I find your technique to be classic and universally flattering. If you are looking for suggestions, I was interested in the Bobbi Brown Telluride palette which is rosy-gold like the N3. I've never owned Bobbi shadows so I'm not sure of their performance. Can't wait to see your next video! x
I would like to write that, thanks so much for stating that it is a sponsored video. Many TH-camrs don't do that so yay for honesty! Oh an you look stunning as usual :-*
Beautiful!! Karima, I'm not sure if you are planning to do anymore under eye concealer smackdowns (I hope so!!), but could you do and ultimate smackdown?? Perhaps take the best of each and put those up against each other to find the mother of all concealers?? Thank you, wish I could see you in Sidney 😩.
I'm doing this right now! I'm using different shadows since I don't have any Urban Decay palettes, but I really appreciate how you describe the techniques!
Hi! Love your videos. I think I found you when you were a guest on another channel. I'm a professional working makeup artist and just started my own channel. It's been fun! Keep doing what you do! xo
Karima, I love how articulate you are in describing steps and techniques. You're gifted in teaching makeup skills and have an outstanding turn of phrase. Splendid work.
Thanks so much for your kind words, Mary ❤️
I didn't even need to watch the video before knowing I'd love it. Your skills/overall intelligence about makeup is so admirable, and I can only hope to know half as much as you do one day
Seriously the prettiest look ever . I can't wait for the morning to recreate this . Beautiful job

+Mo G Urban Decay does great shadows ;) x
Beautiful!! Karima, I'm not sure if you are planning to do anymore under eye concealer smackdowns (I hope so!!), but could you do and ultimate smackdown?? Perhaps take the best of each and put those up against each other to find the mother of all concealers??
Thank you, wish I could see you in Sidney 😩.
+Melissa Chaves At some stage, I would like to do a 'best of the best' post, yes :) xx

+paigeverity Too kind! x
Your contours give me life.... 🙌🙌🙌🙌
+Kelia Coleman
Omg I ADORE her. She is basically perfect. And may I ask, why there is black thing in her eye and what is it?
It's from an eye surgery she had.
What a babe! I love the halo effect and am totally inspired to recreate what you've done on the lower lash line. I'll let you know how it goes! xx
I have missed me some karima, I wish I could come 😔
Love your tutorials Karima - when are you doing more smack downs? 😘
+Jo Wayte What kind of smackdown would you like to see? xx
if i could add my 2 cents here: an eyeshadow palette smackdown would be so cool!
+Mari CC - agreed- pallet smack down would be great
+Karima McKimmie I would watch any product smack down you chose to talk about! How about eye primers & brow products?
+Jo Wayte Yes, palette smachdown please!
Can you do a review of travel palettes? Multi-use products and long-wearing formulas would be appreciated!!
Hi! Love your videos. I think I found you when you were a guest on another channel. I'm a professional working makeup artist and just started my own channel. It's been fun! Keep doing what you do! xo

+Medita Isvandari Thanks Medita!
Ugh I would LOVE to come meet you, Karima! I'm from Chicago in the US, if I was rich like the Kardashians, you know I'd make the trip!
If I'm ever in Chicago, you will know about it 😉 xx
That would be a dream come true :)
how I wish I can be there ...😭love from Hong Kong
😍😍🙌🏾 how do you make your makeup so impactful but at the same time so natural?!
+jolie saudia I try to be light handed on the face makeup :) PS: checked out your channel, you are ADORABLE
