For me i like the old contour because i have a big cheek that i want to contour but your new hack giving more defining the whole face❤️ thanks for sharing.❤️
I’ve been doing your new side for a long time and felt weird because it wasn’t the “proper” technique. Thank you for emphasizing that viewers should actually pick and choose for ourselves! 😊
I’ve always stayed away from contouring because I don’t understand the technique and have no idea how to do it but you explained it sooo WELL that now I’m looking forward to doing it. Thank you so much, many blessings 🙏🏻.
I have stayed away from it also and a makeup artist has never done that on me. I do like using a HYALURONIC Acid hydro powder because it does seem to blur wrinkles and pores and retain moisture.
She isn't. Do you and her have the same exact face shape? Contouring placement is based on your personal face shape. Don't follow her contour for your face shape. It's not something she can teach you, unless she does it on you personally.
Contouring and highlighting are literally the most fun steps in my makeup routine. It’s so fun to give yourself a different shape and structure every day.
For anyone who’s new or interested in learning a beautiful contour/bronzer technique, this is for you. ❤️❤️❤️ It’s true, you can get a contoured (& bronzed) effect using just a bronzer. However I’m a huge fan of using contour & bronzer together bcz the effect is so amazing. I’ve been doing this for a VERY long time & feel it’s worth trying. I actually use a cream contour 1st & then go in w/a powder bronzer after. This works on anyone at any age w/any skin type/color. Hear me out on this. To do this, it’s important to choose the RIGHT cool-toned contour shade for YOUR skin. For example, a very cool contour isn’t going to work on everyone bcz it may look like you’ve swiped dirt on your face if it’s TOO cool of an undertone. But it might be perfect for someone w/lighter skin & cool undertone. So finding the right contour shade (one that will create the appearance of a natural shadow) is key. Finding this can require some practice or patience - remember how tricky it was learning how to find a foundation match? We all found out the hard way that if your foundation is too pink (cool) or too yellow (warm) that it didn’t look good, & finding that correct undertone matters a lot. It’s the same w/finding that right contour shade too bcz if it’s too yellow it can look like a bronzer or even worse, it can look super orange & natural shadows aren’t orange lol. But if it’s too cool it can look gray or ashy on the skin & that can just look like you swiped dirt across your cheek & shadows do not look like dirt lol. Remember, contour isn’t to warm up the skin, we do that with bronzer, it’s strictly to enhance natural shadows & give dimension. So after applying cream contour, I lightly set it w/powder, that way when I go in w/bronzer, it won’t grab & create patchiness. Also, contouring is generally applied subtlety but giving noticeable effects, just like bronzing. When you put them together, the end result is beautiful. But after setting the cream contour, just apply bronzer as u normally would to warm up the complexion. You may find you don’t need to apply as much bronzer. You’ll see & figure it out. But I swear, this is a technique that’s SO WORTH TRYING bcz the outcome is ALWAYS so flattering & makes such a huge but yet still so very natural. ❤️❤️💜💜
I have very pale skin and the Fenty contour stick in "Amber" is the only one I've found so far that doesn't make my face look like it's just smeared with self-tanner.
The old "3" contour technique, new eye, lip and nose contour technique, definitely new Highlighting technique is ma jam❤❤❤❤ Thanx so much for the in depth video❤❤
This was so helpful! I’ve lost my hair due to chemotherapy and I’ve been looking for videos on how to give my face some shape since I no longer have hair to frame it. Thank you for not only showing where to place the contour, but leaving it on while you talk so I could study it. 🌹
Contouring my face is that one thing I ALWAYS do & have for 30+ yrs. I’m older (50 - yikes lol) so it really helps how I look. I’ve always loved a beautiful (but not overdone) contour. It’s adds so much dimension! Love this Christen❤️
Awesome video! Amazing tutorial! You did a fantastic job explaining each step and I am so very happy that you posted this video. I needed this to help me with contouring my makeup for my wedding next year. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
I've been doing the "skull" technique on my cheeks for a few years because I have a large, round face. The nose contour though, I'm gonna have to give it try 🤔...
Sharon Tate did the "new" contour style in the 60's, it really emphasized her gorgeous features. May she and her son rest in peace. I've been doing it for a few years, but it doesn't suit my face as well. Thanks for sharing the two styles.
If you want some constructive criticism, here it is (and I write this with love). 1: No contour in your eye/nose corner! Especially, when your eyebrows are already so close set. 2: Cheekbone contour should follow the cheekbone. So not ON, but underneath (even though you want to lift). 3: On the new side, the last dot on your cheek that covers from mouth and down; scratch that. It makes the cheek saggy and old and the mouth angry. And I still think you are beautiful, no matter the makeup. Love and light from Denmark, Scandinavia ❤
I was wrong, and I thought for sure I had it right😂😂 I think the older side looks more lifted and defined! Granted, every face shape will need different techniques.
I’ve never done the 3 just the cheek bone, along the jaw line abs forehead, the old side looks better the new technique looks droopy. Just my impression ❤️🥰
Thank you for explaining all of this! I was raised by a mom who doesn’t wear makeup, so I have had to learn on my own! You explain all of this wonderfully.
How dare you call cinema makeup techniques old.😱🙋🏾😱0:19 You may not even know what you're talking about. You're so called "old" technique is even far from cinema makeup discipline. How dare! 😤 And how dare you compare the so called "new" technique to Marilyn Monroe's. Do you know what you are talking about?!!? 🙄
I really like both. I get everyday vs glam. For me at my age a lifted old way works best to make me feel great. 😌 will try the glam more defined look. Thank you. Buying that Zoeva brush. ❤
What an amazingly informative video. You look beautiful no matter what, but I do really like the new way of contouring on you. It makes your bone structure look incredible. Saving to my favorites. Thanks for wonderful content.
Clicked this super fast! I’m so glad I finally got alerted when you posted a new video! You’re so beautiful both inside & out! Love & hugs Christen! #domfam💪🏻 ♥️🥰😘
@@christendominique have you heard of youtubers like nostalgia critic, angry video game nerd, cinema snob, film brain, obscurus lupa, linkara, phelous, nostalgia chick, todd in the shadows, and rap critic
Been waiting for more videos girl 💜 I know you're busy but you are so loved and we love seeing you! Thanks for all you do and for being such a kind, genuine person! Much love to you and your family! Love always, Kati 💜💜💜
@@christendominique Of course :) I really do mean it! You are so inspiring and such a beautiful person inside and out and you are genuinely a huge reason why I love makeup and will be starting to learn to be a MUA so thank YOU 💜 and thank you for the reply! That simple gesture knowing how busy you are means so much to me as well! 💜💜💜
That was honestly the best tutorial I've ever seen for an in depth lesson in contouring and brightening! Quick Q, so you can set your contour with a pressed contour shade? It doesn't have to be setting powder? Thanks again!! You absolutely did a great job explaining and people are going to appreciate it so much! 💜💜💜
I'm definitely going to try the new way as I have super prominent cheekbones 💕🤗 I think the old way looks best but..... The new way looks more youthful
OMFG, I needed this tutorial 😍😍😍🥰 I never even understood the old method properly, I've encountered the beard effect and gave up 😂 but now I understand what is what and why! Thank youuuuuuu Christen! 🥺🥰🥰🥰
I use a neutral bronzer (not warm) or a cooler tone powder to do my contour. I don’t contour often because my face is already small and thin. I have a heart shaped face and like it. 🙂
The new placement has been the placement I was taught to use back 2-3 years ago when I first began contouring. It was the “correct” placement for round shaped faces. On her, I personally think the contour looks good on both sides, but the old side on the eyes is way way better. It’s much more “lifted”
You sure did, explain yourself very well and it's my first time putting putting on makeup so that's why I'm learning and I'm learning from you and I thank you for explaining and taking your time doing this and best believe me you you are helping other people out here especially as women cuz you have helped me thank you so much and may God bless you
I just finally managed to order your Celestial Storm palette! Been waiting for so long to order it and I finally could, I can hardly wait for it to arrive! 🥰🥰🥰
I think I’m going to try a combination of the old and the new, now that I kinda understand how!! I really like the eye contour, because I think it will work well with my hooded eyes!! Thanks!!!😘
Yes, live cosmetics and I started wearing lipstick at age three. So 62 years. Skincare at age 15. and cosmetics. So I love beauty and lipsticks. Victoria THE ORIGINAL BEAUTY MAVEN. Est. 1996. I am not the ladies on TH-cam using the name I own. You are gorgeous and fabulous. 💗💓💕💕💓💗♥️ Victoria/Bella
What's the diff of a line and dots? It's the same amount of product. If the dots were smaller dots sure it would be less but your using the same amount of product. The face looked the same but as far as the eyes I liked the eyes on the new way cuz it had more def.
Old technique looks SOO MUCH BETTER on you! Keep the eye on the new side but the cheek and nose looks very masculine. I tried the new technique months ago and I did NOT like it on myself at all.
Wow … I stumbled upon this video by accident but … while I love the tutorial… can I say I totally having young Salma Hayek flashbacks ? I went on to look over the thumbnails and maybe that just happen to be on this video? Sorry hope didn’t offend you by my comment 😅
I know you're not going to see this particular comment so I'll have to share it Thursday as well. I applaud your artistry and the way you can transform looks through contouring. Buuuutttt..... I so love you without any make up what so ever too! You. Are. Stunning. Naturally!
Older techniques looks better. It looks better on your face . I think new techniques looks better for square face people or full round face people . But I love to watch your tricks & techniques.❤️
Let me know which side is your kind of contour?!
For me i like the old contour because i have a big cheek that i want to contour but your new hack giving more defining the whole face❤️ thanks for sharing.❤️
I actually loved both sides😁
I think I'm on the Old technique.. ❤️❤️... Love you Ms. Christen 🇵🇭... A fan from the Philippines 😘😘
Right side (or your left) is 👌 best!!
I love the left side
I can't be the only one that likes the old side better?! Lol
It looks more sculpted. What I always try to achieve. I love the “old way”.
Same. It looks more defined. Love it
I do like the old way but I think the new way could be super beneficial for some facial structures.
Girl you aren’t! Cause same
The same. The old way looks much more defined
I prefer the finished product of the older technique. I think it looks more youthful and lifted!!
I still prefer old technique for MY face shape. The skull contour is great for some and gives a mature look
I’ve been doing your new side for a long time and felt weird because it wasn’t the “proper” technique. Thank you for emphasizing that viewers should actually pick and choose for ourselves! 😊

Honestly, I think your face already looks structured without the contour. You already look beautiful without makeup!
True
the older contour method with the 3 shape made your face look slimmer.

I started contouring my oval face like the new way in the summer of 2019! So cool to see this be the "new" cheek sculpt. Much love Christen💖
Old side is snatched!! Old side with new eye contour I bet would be stunning!! U r gorge either way!!
Love this new contour technique. It's so much more natural. You are stunning and so incredibly talented. Thank you for sharing ❤️
I love playing around with contour. This will be a great technique to try. Thank you!
I was wrong, and I thought for sure I had it right😂😂 I think the older side looks more lifted and defined! Granted, every face shape will need different techniques.
I think the older way looked way better than the new it looks brighter and slims the face more
I still love the old technique
Do a video on old technique of brow vs new technique of brow😵😵 That will be more helpful for me
Yaaay I love it!😍 Your beautiful.
How about the blush and foundation hacks❤️ another satisfying video..
Watching here in the philippines❤️❤️
I love the new technique and how you showed both to begin with so we could easily compare the results!
The old tuqnic is more beautiful make the title and up and more natural than the new one,,my simple opinion 🙂
I’ve never done the 3 just the cheek bone, along the jaw line abs forehead, the old side looks better the new technique looks droopy. Just my impression ❤️🥰
I love you but these contour vidéos are getting repetitive
I'm totally trying this new technique tomorrow because it's combining new tips with things I'm already doing ❤️
This video was so helpful and educational for those of us that are beginners in the make up world. Gracias!
Your left side is definitely the new contour technique ❤️
