It's always fun to see how other people do their makeup. Jenn, what I would say is that you spend a lot of time with "corrections" that I don't see as problems or imperfections at all. You have beautiful and unique features that if I were doing your makeup, I would spend more time just enhancing. I love the naturalness of the final result and feel that the beauty lies in our differences.
No big surprise… I loved this video! I really like how you explain what to do to achieve a certain look, but what I especially appreciate is you explaining the “why” this is so. You don’t just say do this, do that, but you give the rationale behind it. Just perfect! Thank you so much! I learn a lot watching you!!
Great tips about how to "overdraw" the lips while still looking natural. I also use your tip of following the lower lid and drawing upwards to create the outer line, rather than following your upper lid and extending outwards. This is really helpful for people with a down turn to their outer eye area!
Your skin is so gorgeous without foundation! You definitely don't need it! I love your videos, they are so well done! Also, while we are quite different, I think I am also a flamboyant natural and olive skinned, although I am much taller, heavier and paler than you are. I also have broad shoulders and a long philtrum, so it is nice for me to see how you deal with these particularities that I don't see a lot in influencers. My mother has begged me to wear blush ever since I was old enough. I don't tend to, but maybe I will try your lipstick trick!
Thanks for all the great tips about how to correct, color choices and placement choices! It would be a fun video to see a step by step of how you determine your warm olive undertone and how you come up with a color wardrobe for yourself! 😄
For a blush/highlighter combo, I really like the Ambient Lighting Blush from Hourglass. It’s expensive, but so beautiful. I would definitely recommend buying in store vs online though, because each one is unique and some have more blush than highlight or vice versa. Buying in person guarantees that you get the ratio you prefer.
The Pixi highlighters in the round screw-on-lid compacts are gorgeous. They come in blush colors too, I have the vit c one. It looks refined, delicate, natural, dewy etc on. I just love it😊
Jenn your videos are amazing. I am binge watching from oldest to newest. I have already started to change my hairstyle due to your wonderful videos. Personally have no preference on your formal. Love your information whichever way you desire to film it.
I use Jolin cream bleach on my eyebrows and it works great! About once a month or 2. It's not that powerful so you don't have to worry about getting super light brows in case you leave it on too long. It softens my deep brunette looks which I sometimes like.
Hi Jenn! This was helpful to me because I can understand more my own features and how to embrace them 😍 Your analysis are always valuable to me and I'm grateful whatever the format ♡
Even though we have different features, tones, shape etc I still found this helpful. It made me want to go do my makeup which for someone that hardly wears any is impressive. Haha. I liked the tips about k beauty lips, the eye liner and the orange to cover up the blue veins. My under eye is very blue because my skin is so translucent there. I also deal with rosacea/redness which is super annoying. Anyway, great vid!
Great video, as always! Loved all the tips 😁 Blush/highlighter recommendation is the Essence Pure Nude Baked blush. Some of them are matte, but most of them have a beautiful sheen to them. Perfect cream blush topper! ♥ Here are a few tricks I personally use to give the illusion my face is shorter (not because it's long, just because it gives me a more youthful look): 1. Horizontal lines, not only for the contour but blush also (like even going all over my nose bridge to break the length). 2. Applying blush/contour near my hairline and on my chin (always horizontally) 3. Breaking my nose contour to avoid long vertical lines in the middle of my face 3. Contouring my aegyo sals softly 4. Contouring my philtrum in the middle, right under the nose and right above my top lip + contouring under my bottom lip. My philtrum is quite short, but doing this makes it appear even shorter and my lips poutier, reinforcing the illusion of a smaller/shorter face.
Thank you so much for the detailed tips! I tried your tip #3 but it seemed to enhance my dark circles even more lol. I'm curious about #4 and will definitely try it ❤
Yes, it took me time to master tip number three, and it isn't for everyone. I learned that all the steps we see in Asian makeup tutorials weren't for me lol. 😅 I personally use a shade barely darker than my skin tone with a small angle brush (small is an understatement here). I press a little in the middle right under my pupil, then blend it out with the clean small fluffy brush I would use for the rest of my contour. 🙂 But I have to say, I have naturally big aegyo sals, they'll show up no matter what I do... So I prefer to work with it instead of against it. 🙃
@@Yunku-Chan Same here - I feel like I already have quite a bit of aegyo sal so when I accentuate them more I look like I have caterpillars under my eyes 😅🤣
Thanks for not making a typical GRWM video! All the other videos are so over-the-top and yours was very real and tips were useful to try in my own every day routine. I would suggest if you are looking for a new concealer, to try Dior who have Warm Olive in their shade range. I tried the 3WO (Warm Olive) foundation but it was a little too yellow for me and then ended up with 3WP (Warm Peach) as my perfect shade since I also have some red in my undertone (man, this is complicated!)
I'm glad you liked this video! I actually went out to try the Dior olive shades but they turned out a hint too yellow for me as well... maybe I should give 3WP a try. Thank you for the suggestion :) It is... complicated indeed lol.
I also have oil dry skin & I use the Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder. I get the Universal tone as its clear. They carry it at Sephora & Beautylish.
Hey Jenn! Super happy to have found this channel a month ago. Immediately subscribed when I watched your seasonal analysis video. Regarding that thing about mixing green with foundation, since I also don't use foundation, I have a green tinted sunscreen from a japanese brand named canmake. It's super amazing I swear. It literally brightens my face. Depending on what I'm going for, I usually just add a small drop of it to my other sunscreens (I have a lot lol) and it's just magic 😁
Such a huge fan of Japanese makeup! I recently discovered a Japanese version of a Biore sunscreen and I’m in love. It’s not tinted but so hydrating and super light on my oily skin ❤️ Welcome to the channel!!
Dear Jen, a recommendation of blush with highlight built in would be Laura Gellers baked blushers. I never get tired of them!❤ and since they are creams from the beginning (before slowly baking🤓) they don’t look powdery. They usually consist of 3 ”colors” swirled together. I have both the ”ordinary” ones (pigment mixed in skincare cream recipe) and the baked gelato ones (pigment mixed in gel recipe) and both are super pretty😻💓 love from a fellow olive🫒😻🤓
wow it's so interesting to learn about lightening the brows if you appear more masculine/yang.. I'm curious about color seasons playing in, especially for higher intensity seasons. Also, my kitchener essence is dramatic natural, so it would be interesting to see how the dramatic skews with the manipulation of the brow. I'd love more videos like this! especially talking about lightening your brows! (also, as a cool toned olive, I imagine orange wouldn't be ideal to use, what might be better instead? )
I'm glad you liked the video! Color season as well as your essences both can play a role as well imo :) (I'm trying to educate myself more about Kitchener essences these days and they're fascinating!) As for the orange - it's meant to cancel out the blue in dark hair, so it would still work for you seeing your profile pic and your brows seem quite dark. I have recently switched over to a Japanese product called Kiss Me Heavy Rotation Coloring Eyebrow. I'm using shade 04 which is Natural Brown, but I do find it a tad warm for me so thinking of switching to a more grey one!
I am Mediterranean and have light to medium olive skin. I love love love the Dior forever olive colors. The 2 warm olive is a touch dark for me at my lightest but I go up to 3wo in the summer. I us7ally mix a touch of light yellow concealer with the 2wo concealer for touching up any blemish or redness when I’m not tan. My skin tans so easily despite spf. I don’t like mixing green in with concealer or foundation (I don’t wear foundation typically) because the green color correctors are a weird minty green not an olive green, and I find it turns a weird grey ish color. I have olive neutral skin. A bit More warm than a true neutral but straight neutral colors are a bit too cool. Warm colors are too yellow. Just to give you an idea about the Dior colors.
Ok someone else was suggesting Dior as well in my other olive skin video - I'm gonna have to check this product out! Thank you for the recommendation ❤
I'm actually going to order online a colour correcting pallette at the start of next month for the first time ever 😄 So this came in handy, I'm going to try correcting my under eye circles using your tips
I use NYX Lift & Snatch! Brow Tint Pen and I think you will like it too. I love your videos, I learned a lot and I hope that in the future I can do a consultation with you. Thank you for all your knowledge 💜
Someone else also suggested NYX brow pen - I must try it after I'm done with my current one! Thanks for sharing - I'm glad you're finding my videos helpful!
I like the essence make me glow highlighter as a glowy blush. Only bought it a few weeks ago :) It pretends just to be a highlighter but I find the shade very red so it works as a blush for me. Also very natural, no visible glitter particles, just a smooth shimmer.
Very interesting with the lipstick as blush. I don't use blush, but it def looks good on you. My skin is often flushed red. Using my current dark brown shade on my brows gives me an Ernie-Burt look and then the eyebrows are all I see. I end up having to wipe off the brow powder to make them less prominent. I still use a dark shade because of the advice that having darker, fuller eyebrow presence is a sign of youth. Maybe I will go with a much lighter shade for my eyebrows when the brow pencil runs out
I really don't like how everyone says "thick, bushy" brows are the way to go! It's what the trend is right now, but for some of us it doesn't work - softer brows can enhance more femininity in some faces and if you feel like darker brows are just not working for you you should definitely try a lighter shade!
Thank you for sharing a Real makeup routine that we can actually use in real life and also in photos as well! I used to have acne prone skin and had to use foundation and concealer in the past, too and it has so many cons! It's especially damaging on under eye area, feels heavy, and stains white garments. I first switched from foundation to just concealer, then to just BB cream and powdering lightly, now only blush and highlighter, but didn't know what to put under my eyes. So when I really really have to, I used Missha Magic Cushion to avoid putting more product on my face, it's also spf50+. As natural evolution, it was time to switch to color correcting, but I didn't know how to choose a color corrector for my skin. After watching your color videos now I'm keen to using it, before color correctors to me were like mysterious colorful objects in makeup stores :)
Colour correcting can make the world of difference when used the right way - not only for your under eyes but also if you have any redness from having acne prone skin. I'm glad you found the tips helpful! ❤
I identify with SO much of this. Also think we may be the same kibbe type! Also use lighter products with my brows for the most part, shape eyeliner the same, mid face proportions (and place blush in similar placement as a result … which often is lipstick lol), and skip foundation.
Could you explain how to hide or make the bags look more like the rest of tour face? In my case I really struggle with it and I have no idea how to higlight that area, usually I go for wathever the sales lady offers but I usually have to have it on my bag because I look tired all the time, specificaly I would love to understand the undertone of the bags and what is the best color or tone to neutralize it, it is still such a confusing area for me to buy in order to continue and be useful through the day! Thank you! And love your videos!
Hey Antonia! I find a lot of the times the undertone of the dark circles is blue, which is why I recommend (and personally use) orange concealer to offset the blue. I've seen some people use more of a yellow-based concealer to hide purplish tones (again, same theory of complimentary colors), and if the tone is more brown-ish it would just be beneficial to use a skin-color concealer that's on the heavier side - so it really all depends on the person, but blue I find is quite common! I hope that helps :)
Again, it really depends on your skin, but a lot of contour products out there can contain some blue tones so that it doesn't appear too warm on the skin, but that's dependent on your overall skin tone as well :) If the contour product appears too grey on your skin though, that means the color is too cool for your skin tone!
Yeyyy thank you for the info about the contour/blush! Also, why there's a relationship with the filtrum (?) (Cupid's bow area) to the size of eye to brow? You teacher that in any video? I've lost that... Thank you!!
Haha I’m reading all your comments and once 😝🥰 thank you!! I’m glad you’re enjoying my content ❤️ I don’t think I’ve ever talked about the philtrum and eyelid relationship! I should add it to my topics list. Thanks for the suggestion!
I also have olive skin tone, it's trouble when you live in northern Europe, drugstores order only 4-5 lighter cooler shades of foundations with pink undertones. 🥵😂 So my little trick is to add few drops of yellow tint to foundation. The next thing I always have 2 shades of foundation - the light one for my winter skin tone and much darker than my summer skin, I do my personal "small batch" mixes for couple of weeks ahead. That way I can adjust the shade for a moment or even use both shades for contouring.
I don't like primers, I prefer to use NEOGEN Dermalogy White Truffle Serum In Oil Drop instead. It's silicone based serum which makes my oily dehydrated skin looks nicer not only after night, but also when I put it under makeup, so I have the 5th bottle and always come back. I looove korean cosmetics. 👏❤
I like a softer brow, too. Hung Vanngo, the makeup artist, goes with a lighter shade of eye brow pencil. He likes the Abh eye brow wiz in the shade taupe for Asian brows.
It's always fun to see how other people do their makeup. Jenn, what I would say is that you spend a lot of time with "corrections" that I don't see as problems or imperfections at all. You have beautiful and unique features that if I were doing your makeup, I would spend more time just enhancing. I love the naturalness of the final result and feel that the beauty lies in our differences.
Thanks for the sweet comment Virginia! ❤ I agree - it's the unique features that make us who we are :)

I think this video was fun and helpful. Our features aren’t the same,but it makes me look more critically at what and doing and why.
Thanks Stephanie! Glad you found this new style of video helpful ❤️

Thanks for the suggestion! ♥
Milani baked blushes are really good too and also the essence baked formula. I get mine from shoppers drug mart 😊
Thank you for the suggestion!! Gotta put my Optimum points to good use 😊
Love the video ❤. I like your natural make up
Thank you so much! ❤❤❤
Yes, I love the style videos where you explain proportions for each type of face.
I think I prefer creating those types of videos as well :P

Love your videos, I learn so much! Would also be great to see you make a video where you do the makeup of someone else.
That would be fun!! ❤❤❤
mac extra dimension blush works for blush and highlighter duo, or some nars blushes are good options too.
Thank you for the suggestions!! Will check these out :)

What do we do if our brows are naturally darker than our hair?

Haha definitely try the trick out! It's a subtle difference but works for me ❤
You look good both ways
Thank you so much! ❤
I don't like primers, I prefer to use NEOGEN Dermalogy White Truffle Serum In Oil Drop instead. It's silicone based serum which makes my oily dehydrated skin looks nicer not only after night, but also when I put it under makeup, so I have the 5th bottle and always come back. I looove korean cosmetics. 👏❤
I must check this out! Thank you for the tip ❤
always better in less makeup :)
I like a softer brow, too. Hung Vanngo, the makeup artist, goes with a lighter shade of eye brow pencil. He likes the Abh eye brow wiz in the shade taupe for Asian brows.
Thank you for the suggestion! ❤
🙏🏻🥰
wow u look so much like this korean actress named kim ga-eun!
I have never been told that haha! I feel like she has a much cuter look to her than me, but maybe I'm thinking about her voice as well lol
