00:00I'm going to show you how to face map with makeup. This means not putting anything across the entire
00:04surface of the face. Not even moisturizer. Except SPF. Obviously if you're going to be outside or
00:08by a window, an SPF is needed. Put the packs of your hands too. I hope this video makes you
00:15rethink
00:15makeup and its application. This is pretty much how I do all my celebrity clients' makeup.
00:19Clients' is that a word? First take a cream bronzer. Then take a dense brush. Do the tip of the
00:25nose
00:25if you want to. I'm going to do my jawbone here because I've got a little bit of a softer,
00:31tiny bit jowly on the edge. And I'm going to go kind of half on, half off the cheek. Same
00:37on the
00:37other side. Tap to blend. Drag it down the neck. So I kind of look for the shadows on my
00:42face as
00:43my face moves. As you can see when I talk, I get a shadow happen right there. So I'm going
00:49to enhance
00:49that shadow just by going in it but slightly above it with this bronzer. I know it's not a contour
00:54product. I don't care. That's not the point of this video. The point of this video is technique.
00:58It all is because product preference is a huge thing. Okay, so I'm popping that there
01:02and then I'll turn my head to blend it in. So I'm going up into the cheek. But the placement,
01:08the original placement of this product was just a very small circle, not a big stripe from the ear
01:13down to the mouth. Ignore these little pops of warm. They're going to get lilled out when I do my
01:17complexion. Same with the forehead. I'm going to go just in at the hairline, just there,
01:23just in one sort of zone and blend it into a bigger zone. And then you can see I've got
01:28a
01:29little bit more of a structure and shape to my face. Now that the brush doesn't have loads of
01:33product in it, I'm going to blend. And just a reminder, when you're blending, you're actually
01:37removing product because that's the point of the blend. So just be aware of your pressure. If your
01:41pressure is too firm, you're probably taking off too much and then you'll be like, I can't see that
01:44anymore. Just be delicate. I'm taking a different brush but the same product and I'm going to just do it
01:49around my lip. I'm not going to do a whole big amount of contouring or shading or shaping.
01:54I'm just doing a little under the lip and a little over the lip. I like to full out my
01:59cupid's
01:59bow by putting a tiny bit of a bronzer or contour product there. You do you, this is what I
02:04like to
02:05do. And I don't like to go on the sides because that will widen the mouth here. And essentially,
02:10all I'm trying to do is pop the lip there and pop the lip there. When I'm further back, you
02:14can see
02:14a little bit more than if I'm in the light. And then I'm going to do the same on the
02:19lid
02:19under there where I would contour with shadow later. Putting a little bit of the bronzer on my lid,
02:24just a little bit, bringing it down to connect to the nose. So that's your sort of phase one.
02:30Phase two, I'm going to use cream blush. This is a lip and cheek stick KJH brand soft smudge.
02:34And this bronzer was Tower 28 Sculptino in Getty. Now, I would only ever really go to my face direct
02:39with
02:39a stick form of a product if I don't have any complexion on. I don't have any complexion on right
02:43now,
02:43and my skin is nice and emollient from that SPF. So I'm going to get a nice,
02:47smooth application with this and it's going to transfer well, but it's not going to ruin any
02:51of my complexion because I haven't done it yet. And this brush has so little in there from the
02:55bronzer that I applied that I'm going to blend it with this brush because it's not going to change
02:58the color of the blush. And again, I'm just doing a tiny little bit in the middle and then popping
03:03it above my bronzer, but kind of connecting the two together. You want to sort of face map things out.
03:08Like I want my blush there, my bronzer is just below it. They don't have to have a line or
03:11a difference,
03:12demarcation line or whatever people say. They just need to kind of kiss a little bit.
03:16I'm going to do a tiny bit of that on the lip. What's nice about this is it's kind of
03:20like a
03:21powder and a stick, so it lasts a really, really long time. If you're dry, you might want a little
03:24bit of emollient in there, either from the Hyper Shine Serum or a liquid highlighter or a cream
03:29highlighter or even concealer or skincare. Okay, now complexion. It's my favorite part. I always tell
03:34people when I'm teaching them makeup, whether it's in person or online, get this looking as good as you can
03:38to a point where maybe you don't even need complexion before you think about putting
03:41complexion on. Which kind of makes me want to blend just a tiny bit more. I think I'm distracted a
03:45tiny
03:45bit by the shine on my face from the SPF, but if I can just blend around the details, not
03:50on the
03:51details. You see the way I kind of went in front of the blush and under the bronzer? I'm not
03:56going
03:56directly on them because if you go directly on them, you're probably taking more off than what you
03:59might want. Concealer. Now, I would encourage you to try concealer for this method as opposed to
04:04foundation because foundations typically are liquidy and you need a bigger brush for them. We're going
04:08to do a very small brush for this technique. I've got just a large eyeshadow brush or a small
04:11concealer brush, whatever you want to call it. There's no rules. They don't have names for that
04:15reason. Westman Atelier L4 concealer. I'm just going to take that little swatch patch on the back of my
04:20hand and really, really get it into that brush to the point where it's disappeared from my hand,
04:24other than you can just see a slight color difference because my hand is different color to my face.
04:28And then I'm going to start going to the skin on the face. I always like to go to the
04:32chin. I don't know
04:33why. I think it's just like the area that I can fix if there's too much product as opposed to
04:38any
04:38areas where I've got other makeup like bronzers and blushes. And then I'm gently just going to
04:43start skimming it into that crease of the nose, tapping it around the eye. And you might not see
04:50color pay off immediately, but when you start to sort of just filter it through, I can feel the wetness
04:56of the product on my face. I can feel it transferring. So if you've never tried this before and you're
05:00like
05:00still a bit dubious, please give it a go today because it truly works. This priming the brush
05:06thing is a game changer. Thousands of you have told me so. Okay. So just blending them into there.
05:12And I'm going to start to just filter this underneath where the contour bronzer is and around.
05:21And then that's the sort of perfected side. Bear in mind, there's no powder in the mix yet.
05:25All right. So for the other side, I'm going to try and use what's left in this brush. I only
05:28did one swipe
05:29of the concealer on the back of my hand. But if I use just a little bit more of what's
05:35in this brush
05:35before I pick up more, I'll get an even lighter finish. What's amazing about this method is you
05:40will finally probably got, you get, you probably will get no creasing whatsoever. I just took some
05:44more concealer. I'm going to reprime it back into the brush. I find that I get no concealing whatsoever
05:47when I do this. The longevity is great because in a weird sort of way, the less makeup you have
05:52on your
05:52face in the areas where you don't need more of the coverage, the less hard you have to try and
05:57fight to keep
05:58it on. Like makeup's a foreign body after all. Like you have to sort of make it one with the
06:01skin and
06:02really blend it in and mesh it in. But you don't want to over blend it because then you're taking
06:05it off. I really hope that all of these little nuggets of information sort of go into your brain
06:09and go, ah, that's my goal. I just really want to like help people learn how to properly use product
06:16and properly do their makeup if they haven't yet found that way. Because I will also say, I'll be the
06:21first to say, don't try any of these methods if you have your own method down. I just wanted to
06:25blend
06:25with this brush before I overdo it with concealer. You're kind of going to have a little dance between
06:29these two. This one will come back in the mix where you need it to or where you want it
06:33to,
06:33to sort of blend something out if this isn't quite giving you what you want. All right, I'm going to
06:38powder. I'm going to use the number one brush, KJH brand. This is actually free right now on
06:41KJHbrand.com with orders over $70. I'm going to use the Tower 28 powder. So I'm just going to,
06:46I like to pinch this brush sometimes and make it like a sort of a flat if I'm trying to
06:51get
06:52precise placement like this situation. Same on the lid if you want to. I mean, it's not even
06:57too big for the lid. It's just that if you're trying to get right in that crease, you can pinch
07:02the brush and make it a bit smaller. I'm really being precise about where this powder goes as
07:07opposed to putting it over the whole face and I'm being very soft and delicate about my application.
07:11I do not want to disturb anything that I already did. I'm going to powder over the lip.
07:15All right, so to further contour the lip, I did a little bit of powder on the lip. I'm going
07:18to use
07:18endless cacao from Make It Forever and I'm going to use the tiniest,
07:24like the tiniest pressure. This is the pressure that I'm doing.
07:28Like not that, but that. And I'm using it on its side,
07:33so it's giving me a shaded application versus a defined and hard application.
07:42Can you use your finger or brush just to gently blur the lines of that product?
07:47You shouldn't need to touch this up too much through the day because anything at the outer
07:51corner or the edges of the lip isn't hitting the things that you're doing that much unless
07:56you're just fully making out, which is good for you. By the way, you can of course use a brush
07:59like
07:59this if you want to, if you powder, but a brush like this just gives you more control.
08:02Curling my lash. Now highlighter doesn't have to be this thing that's like smushed across your entire
08:06face. I'm actually going to take a teeny tiny brush and use highlighter to sort of spotlight
08:10certain areas of the face. I'm going to apply it to those areas first and then blend it in,
08:15just so that you can see what it is that I'm doing and where I'm going and how high impact
08:18it can be
08:18if you're really, really delicate about your placement. So I'm just doing inner corner of the eye,
08:23a little bit on the lip, do a little bit on the lid in a really subtle way. It sort
08:28of just catches the
08:28light when I blink and yeah. And then I just removed excess from this brush and then I'll blend it
08:35in
08:36with this brush. Just using the brush on its side to create more width out of it. This is a
08:41brush from
08:41my six-piece Spectrum KJH collab and then you get these little pops of highlight without feeling like
08:48you've got highlighter over your whole surface of the face. You just want to blend everything in
08:52or you could prime it into the brush like I do at the beginning. One more thing I want to
08:58show
08:59you. My lips didn't feel finished so what I'm doing is I'm taking this pencil and just really shading
09:05at the sides some shadow because I want them to feel a little bit more pouty. Again, hardly any product
09:16is key. If you want more longevity out of anything just take a tiny bit of powder and put it
09:20over the top.
09:21That could be highlighter, that could be lip stuff. I'm going to use a bit of this powder blush to
09:25finish. Loose bristle brush. This is called Malibu Cooler Get Set. It's not out yet. It'll be out in a
09:29couple of weeks. I'm just going to start to tap that into that high point of the cheek. It's like
09:33a very
09:33bright baby pink. Either you feel like you did a bit too much blush, just take your powder brush and
09:37bring it back over the top. You don't need more powder for this. This is just what's in the brush.
09:41I'm not
09:41going to finish with bronzer. I'm going to finish with a cool toned contour. Make a Kevin Aucoin
09:45medium. I'm going to take it with an angled soft brush and I'm going to follow all of those original
09:51steps that I did. This is going to set that cream product more and it's going to give it a
09:55little
09:55bit more impact. Just go softly. I actually love this method of putting contour at the end where
10:00you feel like you need a bit more cool. Questions below.
