I'm the queen of the bold lip so I'm always looking for ways to refine the look. Cleaning us the contouring with the By Terry is genius. Plus, I'm always glad to see someone using Senna cosmetics. They are so lovely. Thank you!!!!
I've been watching you for a few months now and you're quickly becoming a favorite because you take trends and you do them realistically! Never caking on makeup! I'm allllll about letting the skin shine through!
You're the best make-up youtuber for breaking down your tutorials and explaining us why you do each step. It's super informative and I just love it ! Thanks for sharing the knowledge Karima !
Gorgeous as always Karima! Would love to see a video/blog post where you cover the most common "issues/problems" and how to remedy them e.g. textured skin, pores, acne etc. xxx
I work at MAC in Argentina and this is such a mac look! My favourite kind of look to wear on the daily. Keep doing your brows like that, they look AMAZING!
i dont usually post comments but that doesnt mean i dont looove all your videos! you always give so much information, your voice is very soothing and your looks are always gorgeous but still achievable!! love this look!! have to look at those highlighters myself bc it looks stunning!
I have that mac base too. So versatile and beautiful. Because I am oily I use it underneath my foundation on the high points and it gives the perfect natural glow. Loved the video once again xx
Glad to see MAC's cream color bases being brought into action. It's still my favorite product to use for a realistic glow. Your sense of humor matches your talent. xx
Responding is so much appreciated. You're not only one of the few YT guru's that has replied to a question I had, you are the only one that has responded twice! I love this look on you, the ponytail looks especially great with the leftover color in your ends. I'm definitely getting the cream color base, I remember it being everything on YT a few years back and seeing it again makes me realize how much I prefer that look over powder highlighters. I always find that no matter how finely milled, you can still see particles on the skin when the light catches it (including with the Becca one). Pearl doesn't have that.
I hate powder highlight around the inner corner of my eyes as its a problem area for me but i never thought to use my MAC colour base in that area!! so excited to go home and try that! also, love the cream contouring of your brow bone! lovely clean look!! xxxxx
Karima, your videos are so informative but also such a lot of fun to watch and you are just delightfully human! Oh - you're gorgeous as well, in case you've not heard that!
Boom!!!😍 damn crisp and clean 👌👌👌. Karima i love your base and contoring skills . It is so pleasant to see and feel . And your whole makeup looks are so on point 😍😍😍 .Love it ❤
Rocking the deep lip as always!! I have recently got my hands on the poured shimmering skin perfect or by Becca, OMG new favourite cream highlight! Loving your hair at the moment!!!
Lately I feel like RUclipsrs are getting lazy, doing the same makeup in different colours, but I always like watching your videos. :) Something new everytime. :D
I recently adapted your finger tapping technique to apply my foundation and it is life changing. I have a problem with large pores and this technique it great for preventing that pox mark effect. Thanks so much! Sandra
Just found your channel! You are my favourite on RUclips! All so natural and not TOO much of make up, comparing to others. Beautiful! Keep updating xx A
totally bought that Surratt brow pomade because you were RAVING about it in a previous video. I AM IN LOVE!! makes my brow look so bushy and hairy :) thanks!
Great tutorial Karima! Did this look earlier with a berry lip. I used similar products, but decided to use Becca poured skin perfecter in pearl which I love for some added glow xx
Thank you for another beautiful, attainable makeup look! I truly enjoy your tutorials my dear. Your hairstyling efforts/skills are far superior to mine. Me doing my hair consists of air drying & then messily rolling my whole head into hot rollers w/out much rhyme or reason. The BEST I can do! 😛 Wishing you a marvelous weekend darling.
I find this kind of looks "glossy nude eyes and dark lips" the hardest to achieve in real life, after a while my small eyes disappear and don't have even big lips to balance everything so my whole face loses definition, but I find that your tutorials when you explain in the minimal details the small things that in this case are the most important are very helpful😍😍thanks beauty 💋💋💋
+erjolaable A truly nude eye looks horrid on me, I need those little extra steps to define while maintaining the 'nude illusion'. Glad you found it helpful! x
Thanks for all the tips love the clean and natural finish with bold lips! and the hair tutorial is so much fun I also tend to end up exhausted after desperately trying to do a perfect sleek ponytail
Dammit! Every time I watch one of your vids I find myself enabled. Senna is on its way to me. Thank goodness I have Unicorn Blood already...I can't wait to try this with a magenta lip.
love it! one of my favourite 'editorial' looks. I attempted this actually just yesterday because my eyes were irritated and I wasn't able to wear any eye makeup.. and I always wanted to go out with bold lip and no mascara on. :P
I LOVE YOU! I saw that the hourglass brow pencil wasn't doing to good...can you please try the new SmashBox "matte" brow tech?!! It's so thin like a mechanical pencil, perfect for precision and drawing hairs and never fails to color in &&&& lasts all day long. I traded my Anastasia Beverly Hills brow dip for this pencil..... I know you will love it.
Yay! New tutorial! Loved it as usual!😜 need to try Jeffree Stars' liquid lipsticks! If you say they're not drying and crumbly I believe you! Thx for another awesome tutorial😘 xoxo
+Francesca DeLucacalce They're awesome! Not quite as long lasting as some on the market (the inner rim wears off when I eat and drink) but you can easily reapply and it doesn't crumble everywhere so THUMBS UP! xx
Laaaaaaavveeeee the look... Always always love your looks... Always practical, even though editorial, that I would never feel shy of wearing... Love you always 😗
That eyeshadow placement, though! I have hooded lids and really struggle with defining my barely-there crease in a way that doesn't look like I'm wearing #alltheeyeshadow...this is perfect! Thanks!!
I love the cream color base by Mac cosmetics! I am fair (nw20) and use hush and that's gorgeous. I'm a bit mature also and not a fan anymore of powder highlighters. I use Kevyn Aucoin Celestial Skin Liquid Lighting also for a allover glow or highlighting the cheekbones.
Your hair always looks clean and soft, it may not always be styled perfectly but it's still beautiful and flatters your face. I thought you left it that way on purpose so you should just own the clean look :)
Love this look! For glossy cheeks, I also really like the Tom Ford cream contour/highlight palette. Just for the highlight, though...the contour shade is, sadly, very orange :((. I tried the Becca cream highlight, but found it made my face look muddy. I think I might need to try the Senna one.
I just got unicorn blood in the post this week. I looked at it & was like...but it's poopy brown? Looks gorgeous on the lips though. Can't wait for a client to request something strong so I can use it.
that's it Im getting jefree star lippies.. not a fan of liquid lipstick but that color is just too gorgeous! also are the mac cream color base similar to becca ssf liquid? x
This is stunning
+Shaaanxo Thanks Shannon
Ughh! I adore editorial looks. Please please do more Karima :))
+Indra Vargas Will do ;) x
I'm the queen of the bold lip so I'm always looking for ways to refine the look. Cleaning us the contouring with the By Terry is genius. Plus, I'm always glad to see someone using Senna cosmetics. They are so lovely. Thank you!!!!

+Jonathan Curtis Thanks Jonathan! Everyone go check out his channel, videos are on point
I love the colour gradation from brown to red on your hair, beautiful in a ponytail.
You're the best make-up youtuber for breaking down your tutorials and explaining us why you do each step. It's super informative and I just love it ! Thanks for sharing the knowledge Karima !
+lyza69 So pleased you found it helpful :) x
your foundation application technique is EVERYTHING girl
+Shira Naaman it's so good!
+Shira Naaman Have been doing it this way for years, glad you like it :D x
6 years of watching makeup vids on RUclips and you are by far the best 🙏🏼 I die every time I watch you.. Sooo stunning Karima!! 💕
+Brogan Mayes Aw thanks for your kind words, Brogan! xx
Good idea putting the cream contour in the eye socket, and then cleaning up with concealer! It gave a fantastic lift to the face. Beautiful!
+ofrierson It's a good trick to contour the eye without it looking like makeup ;) x
Gorgeous as always Karima! Would love to see a video/blog post where you cover the most common "issues/problems" and how to remedy them e.g. textured skin, pores, acne etc. xxx
+Aaisha Good idea, will figure out a format :) x
I've been a fan of your makeup for soo long! I love how clean you work and how picky you are with products.
+Ali Andreea Thanks Ali! So happy you enjoy the tutorials
Love how informative your tutorials are :)
+kat ch Thanks Kat :) x
I work at MAC in Argentina and this is such a mac look! My favourite kind of look to wear on the daily.
Keep doing your brows like that, they look AMAZING!
+Cecilia Arone Haha yes, very MAC inspired. Brow compliments are the BEST, thank you!! x
i dont usually post comments but that doesnt mean i dont looove all your videos! you always give so much information, your voice is very soothing and your looks are always gorgeous but still achievable!! love this look!! have to look at those highlighters myself bc it looks stunning!
+Roos N Thanks for watching and commenting
LOVE all the little details you include for application of make-up!!! It is SO helpful.
I, too, use my concealer the same way you placed yours!
+Roo Bear So pleased you found it helpful
I love editorial looks! Please do more--you're the only youtuber I know of that does them (and does them very well at that).
+Marguerite Lehman Will do ;) x
I have that mac base too. So versatile and beautiful. Because I am oily I use it underneath my foundation on the high points and it gives the perfect natural glow. Loved the video once again xx
+Aggeliki Kosmidou Love MAC Cream Colour Bases, one of my holy grail products :) x
This is my favourite everyday bold look! I'm too lazy for eyeshadow, so mascara, highlighter and a dark lip are simple but make quite a statement :)
+Ju M. Agreed! I could spend forever on eyeshadow but a bold lip is quick and punchy :) x
Glad to see MAC's cream color bases being brought into action. It's still my favorite product to use for a realistic glow. Your sense of humor matches your talent. xx
+Meredith Hammett They're awesome right?! Totally underrated :) x
OMG STUNNING!!! Would LOVE to see you tackle the 'greige' lip trend for the everyday woman! Love you to bits!!
+Crystal Nguyen LOVE greige lips, will incorporate it into a tutorial :D x
Girl, your ponytail is rocking! Love the look!
Responding is so much appreciated. You're not only one of the few YT guru's that has replied to a question I had, you are the only one that has responded twice!

+sanfran91 Of course! Chatting to you guys is the best bit :) MAC Cream Colour Bases offer a very realistic glow, sits nicely on the skin. xx
Hats off to the hair effort! haha, I'm too lazy to even attempt to brush the bumps out! :P You looked amazing! Loved this video so much! xx
+Stephanie Bailey Haha it was a rare moment of determination :P Hopefully will see you soon Steph! x
Excellent contour technique around the eyes Karima! I have never seen this before. And I can't believe you don't have WAY more subscribers! Well done!
+Schae Kneeland Thanks for watching, Schae! x
I hate powder highlight around the inner corner of my eyes as its a problem area for me but i never thought to use my MAC colour base in that area!! so excited to go home and try that! also, love the cream contouring of your brow bone! lovely clean look!! xxxxx

Hair tutorial was awesome! Tips I did not know and can't wait to try! Thanks Karima!!! 🙆🏻💋👍🏼

Thanks for all the tips love the clean and natural finish with bold lips!
and the hair tutorial is so much fun I also tend to end up exhausted after desperately trying to do a perfect sleek ponytail
+Maha Seriously, ponytails work up a sweat! x
Karima, you deserve so much more subscribers! I adore you.

Beautiful tutorial, I love listening to you explain your makeup process :)) Best RUclipsr ever!

6 years later I'm here to say this is still one of my favorite looks! I wear it almost every single time I'm going out and loooove it
love your videos, maybe you can do a drugstore tutorial that look similar to this?
Looks gorgeous. My lips are uneven so I like reds that blur out. I hope you had a great time
+Brenna It was a great event, MAC presentations are so inspiring :) x
Your hair always looks clean and soft, it may not always be styled perfectly but it's still beautiful and flatters your face. I thought you left it that way on purpose so you should just own the clean look :)
+glycinate Yes... on purpose ;) My hair has a mind of it's own so often I just leave it be :P x
Looooooove the glossy skin look! I would wear it every single day if I could.
+Brandee Michelle I've been wearing it a fair bit :) x
I'm so jealous of your full brows!!
+Cierra Clark I did not wake up like this ;) Three brow products later! x
+Karima McKimmie even naturally your brows are gorgeous!
Love this look! For glossy cheeks, I also really like the Tom Ford cream contour/highlight palette. Just for the highlight, though...the contour shade is, sadly, very orange :((. I tried the Becca cream highlight, but found it made my face look muddy. I think I might need to try the Senna one.
I'm curious. Why do you think the BECCA highlight made your face look muddy? Do you think it was the color? Are you very light skinned?
u can pull of anything girl...Just wow!!!!!Tips n Tricks on hair n makeup,thumbs up Karima.xoxo
+Batool Muzzammil Thank you! xx
I love your honesty! I'll spend 55 minutes on my face and 5 minutes on my hair.

I just got unicorn blood in the post this week. I looked at it & was like...but it's poopy brown? Looks gorgeous on the lips though. Can't wait for a client to request something strong so I can use it.
