How I used to do my makeup THEN vs NOW | 2021 makeup techniques that will change your face

hi guys 

I really hope you enjoy 

i can't believe how much my makeup

technique has changed throughout the

years

but especially i feel like it's really

really changed from like

2019 to now just how people contour

their face how they do their eyebrows

i just think so much has changed and

it's not until you actually think about

it

i don't actually do my makeup actually

the same at all anymore

so i'm gonna talk you through how i used

to do it

and how i do it now i'm gonna start offwith my eyebrows

i'm gonna do this side of my face how i

used to do it and then this side of my

face how i do it now

and look at the state of my hand that

was not too bad but that one oh my god

i have such a disaster for the fake tan

start off with i've actually already got

a layer of foundation on

and i've covered up any blemishes that i

have to start off as a base

but i'm going to go straight in and do

my eyebrows how i used to do it i used

to use a brow powder

it's all about the powders i think um

and

how it needs to use like an angular

brush and like

just make it as solid as you can

oh i haven't used this in so long it

feels really weird to like fill in my

eyebrows like so

much oh goodness

and blend it out i actually just use a

brow pencil now

and i just don't even really fill my

eyebrows in that much at all

oh this is scary my brows are a lot

thicker now

but i'm gonna make them look a bit

thinner because they were

really thin at one point i used to

really

make sure there's absolutely no gaps

whatsoever

and then i used to get a concealer like

this

um i used to get a concealer brush

and then i used to go like this

and then i used to really make sure i

had

a really really really sharp line

when i look back at pictures my eyebrows

like

i don't know they make such a big

difference to your face

i used to go right underneath

i used to not be able to do my makeup

without doing this

wow strong brow and like the trend at

the moment

like straight brows are really the trend

to have like that end of your brow going

up like that

like the fox eye kind of look but

back in the day a few years ago it was

really popular to have like

really arched brows no brow gel

whatsoever

but then now i brush

my eyebrows up i laminated them which is

now a trend they're super super thick

and hairy and i use a charlotte tilbury

brow pencil

in color super model brow i think this

is called

i literally just fill them in a little

bit

i actually like to use my hd brow

and pencil i can't remember what this

pencil is called

but it's like their original brow pencil

and you like sculpt it so it's as fine

as you can get it

and then you actually just put in hair

strokes so i'm going to use a little

mirror

for this you're literally drawing in

like every individual hair

which looks so much more natural than

that block brow

this is a black pencil but because the

lines are so

fine that you can make with it it um

actually doesn't look too dark at all

i think you need it quite a dark color

so that you can actually see

hairs whoops unless you do it a bit too

bit too heavy-handed like me and i

actually like to use a clear

brow gel this is just a nyx one it's

called control freak

and i just love to now brush my brows up

comb them through so they look nice and

hairy

and a bit more natural but they also

look neat as well

moving on to how i contour my face

that has changed quite a lot i would say

i still like to use a stick style

contour thing

i used to use a palette that had like

different colors of contour

had a really really really dark contour

color in i don't know contour palettes

were just such a thing

but now i just like to use a simple one

color

this is the studio mac um studio fix

foundation stick

um i use this in my previous video for

my makeup look but i use this

in nw 43 and is pretty good color

um for me anyway i used to

contour like i feel like i used to just

do

a big line right down to my mouth

pretty much and then the only place i'd

contour was probably

there and then i would think i used to

just go

like that i used to be pretty much it

but now i like to put

the contour mainly just there

um i put a little bit there as well

and mainly underneath my jaw

like that whereas before i think i used

to actually just whack it right on my

jaw

like that um so yeah and then i also

like to put a bit

just there as well and

probably a bit more on my forehead but

bringing it all the way down

to the side so the whole of the side of

that face

is pretty much contoured so you go in

like this basically and that size just

a basic contour

where i feel like when kim kardashian

started the whole contouring trend

the pictures that i saw online it was

always just right down to the mouth

but you don't really need that that's

not natural

to be honest so i just like to put a

little bit there and you can always

build it up

as you go along so i'm going to just

blend that in

and one of the main differences when i'm

contouring i used to

literally just get the contour stick and

just go

right down the side of my nose boom like

that

that's pretty much all i have to do

maybe a little around the bottom maybe

and let you start it like there and then

blend it out with a beauty blender

but now i get the contour stick and i

actually use

a little brush like this and then i just

like

blend a little bit on there and then i

go all the way from here

then i go more on top of my nose

just a real subtle like contour

i feel like if you put contour how i

used to like right on the side of each

of your nose

either side of your nose it just makes

like your nose and bigger to be honest

so yeah i like to do the contouring

mainly on the top

of my nose not too much

and then i like to bring it in my eye

socket as well you're not leaving that

part out so it doesn't just start

randomly

there so you're actually bringing it up

as well

um because you're blending it with a

brush already you don't need to blend it

anymore and you don't get any like harsh

lines which i think is quite

um easy to do when you're just putting

on

a stick painting it all over your face

then i even

bring that out to here as well

i don't think i ever used to put any

contour around my lips

but i actually like to now i get the

same little brush

and i just put a little bit at the

bottom

and a little bit in my cupid's bow as

well

and moving on to where i put my

concealer and stuff

i feel like there was a huge trend of

putting a really

pale under eye concealer in like a

triangle

underneath your eye and that has just

completely changed

now i keep seeing videos um on instagram

with people

just putting like concealer here and

like in little areas

so i'm going to show you what i actually

do so i used to

use probably like a really really pale

concealer i think i'm going to use this

one

i'm going to just show you what i used

to do feel like it was that whole

section like that then where else did i

used to put it

down my nose maybe

literally in a straight line that's

i'm trying to do it on that side of my

face so i can show you the other side

how i do it

um oh and i probably would have added a

bit extra

on the arch like that

just like that and then now i like to

use

this um flawless fusion concealer um and

laura mercier one

and this is in color 1c so it's a bit of

a pinky color

and instead of doing a whole massive

triangle like that

all i do now is i put a bit here

going right up there and i put a bit

there also put a little bit

there around my nose

um

here and then i

like to put a bit on my chin

and then i sometimes

even put it along my jawline like that

so yeah it's really really changed how

it's gone from

just whacking a great big triangle

underneath your eye to

dotting it in these different areas oh

forgot to see the nose as well

so i actually only put this

probably there and then on the end and i

like to just put a little bit

there as well so i'm just gonna blend

all of that in with my beauty blender

hopefully you can tell a difference um

when i blend it in

even now you can tell how much contour i

probably used to put on i need to like

blend it out a little bit

so i don't think it used to look quite

that dark but

i mean it probably did i used to love

a dark condor the amount of under eye

concealer as well

this whole section just i don't know

covered in concealer when you really

don't need that much

just blend it out all over the place

and like you can already tell like with

just putting that bit

just there and just there it just really

brightens up like the right places

it really makes like that section pop

out more

whereas on that side it's just flat to

be honest with you

so yeah i feel like that's one of the

main changes

with how i do my makeup now and then on

this side

um we're putting the contour more

underneath your jaw and then

like a lighter color on the edge of your

jaw it just really makes

your jawline look like even better to be

honest with you and then on this side

you can just see like it's just a dark

line which isn't really doing much

for your jawline it's just putting

making it look darker

so yeah i've really noticed especially

in photos

you can just really tell a difference

when you've put it more underneath and

like

just blending it down this makes

everything

a little bit more um pronounced

with powder i still use my favorite

little merci powder but i used to get a

big powder puff

and literally like make my skin look as

matte as possible

so i'm just going to use my beauty

blender for that and i really used to

pack it on make my skin look so matte

but i feel like that was a trend really

matte skin matte lips matte

everything matte brows as well

don't get me wrong i love her like matte

skin still but

maybe not quite so matte just a little

bit of a

more natural glow it's nice

what i do now is just use a brush and

really lightly just

dab it on even this side it just feels

heavier

with the amount of powder i probably

used to put on i think i used to

actually try and bake with this as well

let's try and give that a go do it like

that a whole massive section

like that

but now i don't even think i use that

for baking very often

but i don't do it in a big section like

that i would probably get my other

little

tiny powder which is more of a white

color it's a lot finer

um and i would still use

a beauty blender to do this but i

literally just put it basically where i

put the concealer earlier so just a

little bit here

here as well maybe a bit

down there

and then i also put it here

and maybe a bit on my chin

i also like to put it here

like that so that is a mega difference

um with how i do any baking now i'm just

gonna dust that out

another thing with baking i've also been

doing

this as well i get it from here

underneath your contour and then i've

been going

like up like that maybe not quite like

that

um but so it's kind of like

like that kind of shape i feel like it

just makes your cheeks look really nice

um i'm just gonna dust that out

moving on to my eyes i used to really

love a cut crease

and that's just such a huge trend in

makeup not so much anymore

it's more like the foxy eye look now but

just goes to show how makeup trends come

and go

so quickly but yeah i'm gonna have a go

at a cut crease i don't even know how i

used to do it

probably lots of concealer on top of

eyeshadow i remember trying to make my

eyes look as big and as round as i could

none of this fox eye long elongated

nothing like that i'm just gonna try and

do it how

i think i used to the dark

color all that's a bit dark

i definitely remember doing like a

darker color

here and tried to do a cut crease

um maybe use my brush for this this

could go horribly wrong

i just don't know how i had the time to

do this

i would definitely use a black eyeliner

and do it all the way along quite thick

line all the way along

like that

not too bad actually

i would probably use like a

real gold color

it's really not going too well i'm

trying my best

and then i remember i definitely used to

put like a really

pale um shimmery color

like a lot here like loads like that

yep and then a bit more under

there as well

i probably would have still put a little

bit of eyeshadow under here

but probably just towards the outer edge

i probably would have also put on a big

false eyelash that was

really really round really thick really

long

but i actually don't own any eyelashes

anymore apart from my individual ones

moving on to what i do now um i always

curl my eyelashes just my

natural eyelashes and i always get

my matte bronzer first

and i kind of go over where i contoured

before

and then bring it up here as well

and then i also sometimes bring it down

my nose just a little bit

to blend it all together and i'm just

going to use

this color which is my favorites um and

just do a tiny bit on like the outer

um edge of my eye outer corner

should i say and then get the same color

or maybe a lighter one and just do it

like right underneath

the bottom lash line

as well kind of blending in with

this whole section as well

i normally get my black eyeliner

and sometimes do eyeliner and then put

eyeshadow over the top

but on an everyday basis i would

probably just

use my angular eyeshadow brush and then

use like a

dark-ish color and then do

um an eyeliner like wing

um just with the eyeshadow so it's a lot

more subtle

um not as dramatic as that side

so when i'm doing my eyeshadow liner

um i really only bring it to like the

middle of my eye

and then just bring it out quite a lot

i just don't bring it in any further

than halfway because

i just want to make my eye look longer

and more elongated and more kind of

um foxy eyed

i used to really pack on the mascara as

well

especially on the bottom lashes as well

i used to make sure that they were all

covered

all looking really long

and really defined but now

if i wanted my eyelash to look really

long if i was going out or something

i would maybe maybe if i would be

bothered put on some individual lashes

and then

go over the top with a little bit of

mascara so they blend in so it looks

really really natural

um so yeah i normally just put a little

bit of

mascara on the top

with a black mascara i often

just like to put a little bit on my

bottom lashes

i actually like to use a brown mascara

for the bottom ones

this is a max factor one it's same brown

black

or black brown should i say um

and i just put a little bit on the

bottom lashes

and then with blusher um i don't even

think i used to wear a lot of blusher

it always used to be a lot of highlight

like a lot of highlight like here

so i'll do that in a minute but the

blusher that i really really like um

i've been using this one for the past

year i think is the color gina from

nars and i like to just put

my blusher now mainly

just like a high point of my cheekbone

not too into the middle just mainly here

now what um oh what i like to use now is

like an all-over face powder

but this is from hourglass and this is

the luminous light powder and i've got

like the mini version

which is really handy um

i just get this with my little brush and

then i just

go like here where i want

my cheeks to look a bit more rounded and

highlighted

a bit maybe on my forehead here

a little bit on the end of my nose and a

little bit here

so it's kind of like a really really

subtle highlight

um and where i used to put my highlight

oh gosh i used to use this one from

becca i think it was called champagne

pop that's still really really nice um

i just think it's just way too much

highlight for me

um i don't even think i've got that

anymore i don't know where that went

but i'm gonna just show you what i used

to do and i'm gonna just use the

charlotte tilbury

highlighter in this palette and i used

to really get it

and put it just like that

i'm pretty sure i used to go right up

there as well

and then a lot my cupid's bow too

and more very more here as well

just to make that arch of the brow

really pop one more thing is the lips

um i feel like a couple of years ago

when

like i don't even know when it was but

the kylie lip lip

kits came out it was all about matte

lips

and the thought of just having such a

dry matte lip now just really

oh i don't know my lips are dry anyway i

don't want to put anything on them

that's gonna

dry them out even more still love a ma

matte ish lip but just not as matte as i

used to

because it used to just look so dry

and just one solid solid color so i will

try

and recreate that on this side

i would show you with a um a kylie lip

kit that i used to have but

i just don't think i've got it anymore i

feel like it dried up loads

i did just really like it

i like the lip liners more than the uh

actual lipstick itself just gonna do

half my lips

it's looking very strange um

[Music]

i used to fill in my whole lip with the

lip liner

and then what can i use now

i'm gonna still use my favorite lipstick

in my tweety from mac

this is a really matte lipstick

but i'm just gonna cut that on

like that and then to make it as matte

as i used to have it

i'm gonna just put some powder on my

lips

but now what i like to do is

i'll still use the same lip liner but um

i would probably only go

mainly around the edge with it

i actually think i might use this other

lipstick which is

a shout out to everyone in the color

very victoria

and this is a bit more of a moisturizing

lipstick

such a nice color um i don't know if you

can really tell the difference

probably because i'm still using like

the same kind of products but i tried to

make that side as matte as i possibly

could

um but i also on

what i do now i probably would use like

even darker lip liner

just to go around the outside just a

little bit more so it's more like an

ombre

lip um i never ever used to do that i

used to be the same color

um lip liner with the same color liquid

lipstick over the top so it's just a

solid lip color whereas now

i use probably like two different lip

liners

and a different lipstick all together so

it's going darker to lighter

um but yeah i think that's the finished

look

um so this side is what i used to do my

makeup like

if i go back to my old instagram photos

they were so edited my eyebrows were so

so thin

um my eye makeup was just

so dramatic um my contour was on another

level

so it was my highlight um

yeah i just really can't wait to get

that off um

but yeah this side is more how i do it

now

a lot more natural on the brow more of a

winged eye foxy eye look

more of a dewier nicer

um not as matte skin and

less eyelashes and more of a a dewy lip

as well

but yeah i really hope you enjoyed this

video i'd love to know what you want me

to film next

and it could be literally anything at

all um hair tutorial whatever you want

i hope you've enjoyed it and i'll see

you again soon bye guys
