I really appreciate that you look like a normal person without your makeup on. I always get discouraged when online makeup artists have supposedly "no makeup" and their skin already looks flawless thanks to intense lighting and camera filters. So don't stop showing us the real you!
FINALLY! A beauty guru who doesn't look orange after contouring and bronzing haha! I have been searching for the answer to my orange bronzing woes for so long I was about to I've up on contouring and bronzing forever! I'm naturally yellow toned but I am going to head out and find a cool shade to work with in my contour. Thank you for yet another very informative video, love love love!
sophie boakes Try Manic Panic Dreamtone foundation in white. You can mix it with any foundation to get the right shade. Pretty cheap too. Cant live without it :)
Extremely helpful and well done tutorial - I would never have thought to use eye shadow. ! I’d love for you to do the same video for older skin 35-50 years. Thank you!
I've watched so many videos, even had professional makeup artists try to teach me and it never seemed to work. Until you! Thank you so much! This and the nose videos have really improved how I apply, what colour, and where. 💙
I’m mostly Irish and Scottish and I’m super super pale ! Can’t wait to try these techniques out . I feel like it’s so miss leading with other makeup videos because I’m so pale that what they do on their face is not gonna look anywhere as good on mine so THANK YOU !!!
revlon colour stay in buff runs yellow but might be dark for very very pale folks. check out ben nye cream foundations - they have a LOT of different shades, many of them yellow and very fair (:
That's exactly how I am! Try MaryKay. NO foundation matched me, not even the palest ones at sephora. Until I came across my holy frail foundation! Look em up. :)
I'm not sure if it's just the video, but it looks like the darker contouring you went too far. It looks like it's gone all the way to your mouth and it looks a little odd, the dark contouring should not go past the center of your eyes, not past the pupil of the iris. This has helped me though, I really struggle finding light enough make up for my skin. I'm also the shade Ivory, so I'll try and find the same products you have. Thank you!
Love you Miss Stephanie!! You are an amazing artist and a very beautiful young lady !! Thank you for helping people learn how to apply makeup in a very "real" & honest way!! 👍🏼💕
I'm so glad I found this video! That's such a great idea using an eye shadow instead of an actual contouring powder. I always find the usual contouring shades look too orange on my face! Thank you!
I am so loving the vanilla eyeshadow as a highlight! I've been looking for something more subtle than my shimmery highlights and never would have even thought of using an eyeshadow...same with the wheat for a contour!
Thank you for this one! I have very pale skin and I always wondered how the heck I was supposed to highlight since you obviously aren't going to find a highlight or a foundation color that's lighter than your own skin tone. I also love how you applied things subtly and blended them in lightly and naturally like the way you applied your contour and the blush. It makes them look like natural shading and coloring. Very beautiful!
Finally!! I have been looking for a tutorial light skin contour for soooo long! Everyone else is tan or wears fake tan. This is just what I needed. Now I know I have been doing the colors all wrong! Thanks again! Love your channel!! Xoxo
Finally! A contouring video for us pale people! SO thankful that you made it and that I just so happened to have just stumbled upon it! I have a Question for you: Do you think that by applying eye shadows to your face to get the correct contour color, it is more apt to cause skin to breakout? Or does it not really make a difference? My skin is super sensitive, and I'm not sure whether the pigment in eye shadow may cause an adverse reaction! Thanks for your advice and I look forward to watching your videos! 👍👍💟
They had hidden camera's that followed them into stores. Then had it tested..omg like toothpaste with antifreeze in it. Iove dollar store but now will be only certain things.. If you're looking for good eye make-up then go to reliable store. They showed Mac. Make-up. Boy, ig was not Mac at all, cause Mac never sells it the way the place was Selling it. So buyer beware.
thank you, I have watched several tutorials, and I always think they go faster than what I can keep up with. Your's not only was at a speed I could follow, but finally I know what shades and products will work best with my pale skin tone. Again, thanks so much!
AMAZING! Friends were always going on about contouring and I looked at my skintone and thought "err, how the heck am I going to do 'that'??" Sat through no end of tutorials using creams that were just so so dark and one quick google and I came across this! Completely changed how I apply everything and I've never felt so good about how I look! PS: Love the bloopers that you leave in :-D
omg... you are so smart!! most makeup artists show the same techniques and tips when doing makeup, which isn't original at all and just gets repetitive. your tips and techniques though are so unique and helpful! where did you come up with all of this? the white eye shadow beneath the under eye area? that just blew my mind at how breathtakingly well it works! please never stop these videos, they are so unheard of yet so helpful and effective!
I'm literally so pale. My friend thought I was wearing white tights one day... In the summer... Literally no foundations match my skin tone. I'm actually debating if I should use flour or not
learning so much from you! Thankful for your videos. My mom always said a confident woman can complement another. i think you are very confident and kind by teaching women to do beauty tricks. Thanks for making it a more beautiful world through your lessons.
Im so pale, i went to the beach with my fam, all the other girls were a gold glorious sun kissed color, and the sunset was making them glow a beautiful orange golden honey color. Me, on the other hand, i was so pale my skin reflected the light and i had a creepy blue glowing aura around me. Everyone else had this beautiful sunlight shining off them, were im fluorescent lighting white. you could def show a fool the picture and trick them into thinking you captured the ghost of a sunken ship in your picture. Tell em you took the picture and when it was developed, i appeared.
Thank you so much!!!! I have very very fair skin and an oval face. Every time I've tried to follow a video on contouring to change my face shape I end up looking deathly ill because the hollows of my cheeks would be too dark😝. I had no idea you could use such light colors to contour but this totally worked!! I'm glad I found this because I do crazy eye makeup and it never looks good with just plain old foundation😆.
Just ordered the Bobbi Brown eyeshadow to try this out! I've never done contouring before because I'm so pale and all the bronzers were so orange, they looked horrible! Very excited to give this a go! Thanks for the great tips!
I really like you and your videos I think that you know what your talking about and you explain everything really well instead of just saying not to do something or to do something with out explaining why, but the only thing is that I think you went way to far down to your mouth with your conture that it looked kinda bad I'm sry I'm not trying to be rude I just thought that maybe this could help at least in the video it looked funny, I say this because I thought you are not supposed to bring the contour down that far that your just supposed to bring it down in that direction, but only go to about the outside or middle of where your cheek lines up with your eye
you are honestly my favorite youtuber because you always give a detailed and informative explanation of why you do or don't do everything. it's so helpful and i learn more from just one of your videos than ten of someone else's and i look forward to your videos so much!! thank you for taking the time to do these :)
Not all of us fair princesses started out as fair, or are pink! I'm probably athe same as you, but warmer toned. My arms are about 2 shades darker than my face and very yellow. My skin is quite transluscent, not that I'm complaining, I'm one of those bloody goths. I was quite tanned olive up until about 10 years ago. My Grandmother was Romanian, so she had the whole Balkan skin, and I inherited it. Mind you, both sides of my parents have had the ability to tan, we just don't go out into the sun! We still go very red :P My lighting sucks in my videos, but you can have a looksie at fluorotube white!
I was just about to say that. I am pale and many foundations in the lightest shade are a shade too dark, but I'm on the yellow side! Kinda neutral, but more yellow. My arms and neck are pale yellow and my body is translucent so you can see my veins all over. Not all fair girls have pink undertones.
I learned SOO much watching this video. I'm Irish and English so I have a natural cool skin time and this WHOLE time I've been using bronzer and dark warm pink blush! You just saved me lol. I love your videos!
Thank you so much for this video! I'm into natural makeup now, but still have a baby face despite being almost 30. Wanted to try subtle contouring to help define my face shape more and this is so helpful!
You are very beautiful buuuuuut not very pale. You look quite tan to me, but maybe that is because I am not far off from being a ghost. To those who have trouble finding pale enough foundation, there are many Korean makeup brands that have very pale foundations/BB creams! The first foundation to fit my skin-tone was Missha M Perfect BB cream #13!
she said she has been fake tan I g so her skin is darker than usual, she held up her foundation she usues when she isn't fake tanning and it was very pale.
My mum and boyfriend always point out I have muddy lines on my face whenever I try to contour and I always thought it was because I was just too pale to do it. This helped so much! I've got all of those products now added to my shopping list.
Just found all your videos! Love how knowledgable and informative you are. Really puts wisdom on why to do certain things! Needed it and love it- you rock!
Lots of great tips! I to use eye shadow for contouring, as it is very difficult to find shades for fair skin with pink undertones! Glad to see I'm not the only one! Keep up the great work! Cheers!
I watched some of your videos (learned a lot from you), and I must say that I love the way you look in this one. Without contouring your nose, without ten. You look beutiful. Thanks for the video
I use Nyx taupe blush for contouring it's very cool tone and but too dark. Loads of great info here I am excited to play with your techniques! New subbie :)
This is an incredible tutorial, and you have just gained a new subscriber!! Having porcelain skin and trying to learn from other tutorials is MADNESS!! This was perfection. Will be trying once I pick up some product you used, really- thanks so much!!
I love the way you did this! I really have no clue how to contour for my fair Scottish/Irish skin with my bright red hair 👩🦰 but I see a few items I need to purchase that are similar to your so I can give this a try! I’m a little overweight and I’d like to draw attention off my jaw line and neck area and forehead. Thank you for sharing.
This was super helpful, I've never found a contour colour that fits my skin tone, so I shall take your advice and search the matte eye shadows. Thanks :)
This is the BEST contouring video I have seen (especially for us pale ladies) I have just started to do a very similar routine thanks to a recent MAC haul :) Thanks for the inspiration! Love the techniques and advice, new to your channel and had to subscribe after watching this.
Hi from Scotland! I have extremely pale yellow toned skin which is unfortunately rare, even rarer than having pale pink tone skin. I look darker when I do not where makeup but the second porcelain makeup touches my skin I look incredibly orange. I used MACs NC 15 which was too dark for me and NW 10 which was too dark and a pink undertone. I then tried alabaster from bobbi brown for a while but it was a pink undertone and slightly darker than my skin. Now I use NARS sheer glow in Siberia which has a neutral undertone which is the best I have found. Do you have any suggestion for neutral undertone contour products, they make nothing light enough with a yellow undertone.
Sara Letham Hey if you are as pale as you sound I think you should try MAC Face and Body in White. Yes, you read that right they have a pure white foundation. If you find it doesn't give you enough coverage you can mix it with whichever NC 15 product you're using and I think you'll get pretty close. I've had extremely pale clients for whom I mix C1 and White and it looks just right since the yellow undertone helps counteract the rossyness. Hope this helps!
I have had a hard time avoiding looking like I have way too much makeup on... I've tried full coverage products, I've tried sheer products... It's just so many layers, and it goes from being not enough to way too much, so quickly! Maybe it's the brushes I'm using? I'm very artistic and I'm really good at the contouring itself... It's just hard to keep it looking natural. :(
same here!!! If I try to do what she did it comes out cakey and too much! but then too light like a bb cream or something and you can see all my pores and shit still...its so hard for me. I have been using stila foundation with benefit powder which isn't bad at all. Just need to find a good concealer. and I think I need new brushes as well.
Stephanie I love you You are amazing you are the best make up artist I have seen I've been getting advice from other people and nothing works I got the harmony from Mac The vanilla from Mac The wheat from Bobby brown I love that you did the video for pale skin I finally use everything I buy Thank you so much Xoxoxo
As some who is actually milk bottle white, i'm confused why someone with a tan is educating pale people how to correctly apply makeup for their skin tone.
As a first timer when it comes to contouring and highlighting, I knew I could come to your channel and learn what I needed to know!! Being SO pale, this was THE best video for me! Thanks again for being so thoughtful and taking the time out to make this one! :)
really? what foundations have you tried? sometimes if you're very pale you'll need to get a white mixer so you can mix a little of that with your foundation :)
LannaG42 have you tried L'oreal true match in rose ivory? It's the palest colour they have and every single foundation I tried before that looked too orange on me, and I ALWAYS went for the lightest option available. L'oreal true match has been my favourite for years, it suits pale skin so much and it kind of blends into your natural skin tone. Doesn't look orange at all. The one thing I would say is that it's quite watery and it's light coverage as well so it might not be exactly what you're looking for but it's definitely worth researching if you haven't found anything that works for you yet :)
DUDE! Thankyou so much for posting this! I was always wondering about how to do a highlight and never even thought to use a white eyeshadow since I'm too pale to ever find a highlight in my color.
+GTAvsICQ With youtubers I've learned to just ignore what they LOOK like because different cameras and lighting change their appearance and instead focus on what colors of foundation/concealer/etc they're using to get a better idea. TL;DR: she's very fair-skinned.
Ur cheek contour didn't look good... it looked like a long muddy stripe. but I usually love your vids 💯💘 Besides that... thx for ur advice throughout ur videos x
Thank you so much for all your tips! I'm in dire need of a makeover and I'm so grateful I found your page! Your voice and accent are lovely and I'm learning so much and gaining confidence by watching your videos. You are beautiful!
You can do the same with concealer as well. There are some great kits on Amazon that have a ton of shades in one palette. I'm dry myself, and find concealer works better for me than powder as well.
Hi there! I personally like to use cream foundations one or two shades darker than my skin tone and a cream highlighter. My absolute favorite products are the stick foundations from Becca Cosmetics, but they're pricey so I like to substitute with Maybelline mousse whipped foundation. For highlighting, if you want to stick with a flat lighter color, try getting the same foundation a couple shades lighter than your skin tone, or you can use a cream highlighter like the Tyra Banks stick highlighter (there is also a contour stick) on HSN. If you want something with a little shimmer, try a vanilla or white shimmer cream shadow. I hope that helps, but if not, let me know! I've tried a lot of different products in this arena :)
I actually did film that makeup look but i figured it was a pretty boring look so i wasn't going to post it! lol now i might! I used Australia Cosmetics 'Mambo' lipstick i think :)
I found this video very helpful! I have a hard time just finding the right foundation. I have red undertones and applying face products aren't always easy for me. Thank you for the tips!!
I'm a natural red head with Swedish and German heritage and up until now I was hopelessly lost on contouring because all of the other videos i watched were for darker or tan skinned people!! So thank u for helping me! :)
You are stunning! I love your contour!! You look so pretty! I can relate to you so much! We are both pale with hooded eyes!!! Your makeup is flawless!! Keep it up!😌😌😌😌
am i the only one who thinks she did not do her make up very well at all in this video?? her fondation looks like its is in some places and not in other places? And her contour is terrible. >.< Can anyone direct me to a better video please!
You have gorgeous skin! Thank you for making this video- most of the contouring videos out there are based on a darker skin tone so this is super helpful. By the way, you have amazing skills!
Wtf. Is she a advertiser? She says morethan 1000 words perhaps. And please, I thought Photoshop could only make everything wonderful, wtf im wrong! :D but btw, u could only destroy ur face with that chemicals! Try to be pale using water and ice only! And instead of buying expensive make ups try to buy fruits and vegetables and get a excess sleep to look more fresh. I tell u guys, being pale is not beautiful. I still vote of being fresh looking. 3
That is a very unkind and nonsensical comment. She's a lovely woman, and many of us (especially Celtic, but also others) are born with very fair complexions. Given our lack of melanin to begin with, we do not tan easily, we sunburn easily. If you do not find pale girls beautiful, that's fine. To each his own. I think we will all manage to survive quite well without your approval.
Absolutely love your tutorials :) there are so many girls on you tube doing the same tutorials but your positive energy and vibe does make a difference ..yours are actually very entertaining ))) I have a suggestion to also mention the products used below the video if possible for a quick reference , that would be great! Thank you for all the amazing tips
This is been very helpful! I really appreciate the "education" on why us fair skinned people should use certain colors, tones, etc. I also have what I would consider to be a larger forehead, and I had no idea that contouring would make it appear more narrow. Great information, can't way to try it!
I often use eyeshadows to contour as well. Its nice to see someone else so the same. I am told I have a neutral skin tone and I have a similar eye color to you. What kind of color do you suggest I use to contour, more warm or cool tones? You're beautiful by the way. Stunning.
I just tried this with Taupe & a matte white shade in NYX Natural palette. I have a neutral tone & worked great. Yellow tones the white might be to pasty, but if you found an off-white eggshell color, it may work. Taupe seems like it could swing either way
Pale skin with a yellow undertone? That's me! It is hard to find a foundation light enough. Even when I grab the lightest in the line of foundations, most brands were still too dark and a lot even turned orange. My all time favorite right now is Loreal True Match in Porcelain W1. They have warm, cool, and neutral shades from super light to dark. It also wears very well, similar to high end formulas and even better than some high end foundations. Hope this helps! :)
I really appreciate that you look like a normal person without your makeup on. I always get discouraged when online makeup artists have supposedly "no makeup" and their skin already looks flawless thanks to intense lighting and camera filters. So don't stop showing us the real you!
FINALLY! A beauty guru who doesn't look orange after contouring and bronzing haha! I have been searching for the answer to my orange bronzing woes for so long I was about to I've up on contouring and bronzing forever! I'm naturally yellow toned but I am going to head out and find a cool shade to work with in my contour. Thank you for yet another very informative video, love love love!
Thank you so much for such a lovely comment!! :D Glad you like my videos!! Let me know how you go with finding the right colour! xx
Omg pale problem: never finding a foundation to match you, and the only one closest to your colour is pink af
sophie boakes Try Manic Panic Dreamtone foundation in white. You can mix it with any foundation to get the right shade. Pretty cheap too. Cant live without it :)
I have this problem omg!!! I literally use like white foundation bc my neck is like the palest part of me lol
ikr
+sophie boakes PREEEEEEAAAAAAACH
I tend to use Ivory based :) as I'm very porcelain skin. I used No.7 foundation expensive but worth the money
Extremely helpful and well done tutorial - I would never have thought to use eye shadow. ! I’d love for you to do the same video for older skin 35-50 years. Thank you!
Your highlight is the color of my foundation.
same
Yes
exactly...if this is "very pale" I'm a ghost
I clicked this to see how to contour in general. I'm ghost white. Using clown makeup as foundation here. I was slightly confused by the title itself.
same
I've watched so many videos, even had professional makeup artists try to teach me and it never seemed to work. Until you! Thank you so much! This and the nose videos have really improved how I apply, what colour, and where. 💙
About time there was a natural looking contour video for super fair skin. Thank you!
I’m mostly Irish and Scottish and I’m super super pale ! Can’t wait to try these techniques out . I feel like it’s so miss leading with other makeup videos because I’m so pale that what they do on their face is not gonna look anywhere as good on mine so THANK YOU !!!
When your foundation is 001 Ivory 😁
omg me too!!! I order foundation from Amazon because they got my white shade :p
mines 010 porcelain :(
Aimee Desmond mine is katvon d 41
Aimee Desmond mines 010 light porcelain. 😁
Mines 00 Albaster😂
I'm super, ghostly pale, but I'm yellow toned. it's impossible to find a foundation that's light enough & not pink.
Thanks for commenting I'm the same as u have the same problem
Another one I found was max factor foundation in porcelain
Same here and I use this foundation in the color flax seed it has a yellow undertone and us quite light
revlon colour stay in buff runs yellow but might be dark for very very pale folks. check out ben nye cream foundations - they have a LOT of different shades, many of them yellow and very fair (:

+Samantha Johnston i noticed that too , i normally curve it down slightly as i blend it out as it gets closer to the mouth
Love you Miss Stephanie!! You are an amazing artist and a very beautiful young lady !! Thank you for helping people learn how to apply makeup in a very "real" & honest way!! 👍🏼💕
+Joan Crites thank you so much Joan! Xx
I'm so glad I found this video! That's such a great idea using an eye shadow instead of an actual contouring powder. I always find the usual contouring shades look too orange on my face! Thank you!
I am so loving the vanilla eyeshadow as a highlight! I've been looking for something more subtle than my shimmery highlights and never would have even thought of using an eyeshadow...same with the wheat for a contour!
Maybe we need a "how to highlight and contour for ghosts". I'm WAY more pale and pasty than this, but I'll give the techniques a shot.
lol I wish they made one 😂😂
She did say she had a fake tan on when doing it
Yesss!
Thank you for this one! I have very pale skin and I always wondered how the heck I was supposed to highlight since you obviously aren't going to find a highlight or a foundation color that's lighter than your own skin tone.

Keri Phipps It doesn't make a difference :) xo
As lonv as you get from replicable store , i watch a news program that showed fake products. The stuff in them were very unsafe. So just be where
They had hidden camera's that followed them into stores. Then had it tested..omg like toothpaste with antifreeze in it. Iove dollar store but now will be only certain things.. If you're looking for good eye make-up then go to reliable store. They showed Mac. Make-up. Boy, ig was not Mac at all, cause Mac never sells it the way the place was
Selling it. So buyer beware.

I LOVE that she said "If you are a girl....OR BOY". Good girl!!!
You are the first person I've seen on UA-cam ever mention about contouring color for cool skin. Thank you so much
Ireland, England, Scotland... WALES? Everyone always forgets Wales.
Bethan Lloyd Yes they do... Cymru am byth lol
I know everyone forgets about wales
Usually people forget about Ireland as well I'm surprised you actually remembered
Northern Ireland too, unless you count that in with Ireland
Yeah i'm for Northern Ireland ^^
Just ordered the Bobbi Brown eyeshadow to try this out! I've never done contouring before because I'm so pale and all the bronzers were so orange, they looked horrible! Very excited to give this a go! Thanks for the great tips!

VEINS! YES! On my chest, on my arms, on my legs, e'rrywhere!
Pro tip; Illamasqua Skin Base 003 ;)
I learned SOO much watching this video. I'm Irish and English so I have a natural cool skin time and this WHOLE time I've been using bronzer and dark warm pink blush! You just saved me lol. I love your videos!
happy it helped you!! :D xo
Your skin always look so good Stephanie
Aw!! Thank you so much!!! :D xo

she said she has been fake tan I g so her skin is darker than usual, she held up her foundation she usues when she isn't fake tanning and it was very pale.
sorry about the spelling lol I click send before I spell check haha
That makeup isn't pale enough for me.
The girl in the video isn't VERY pale.
Not if drug store brands are matching her.
My mum and boyfriend always point out I have muddy lines on my face whenever I try to contour and I always thought it was because I was just too pale to do it. This helped so much! I've got all of those products now added to my shopping list.

😱😂😂😂😂😂😂😂The best I have read comment today😂😂😂😂You gave me good laugh😂😂😂😂Thank you😄
Just found all your videos! Love how knowledgable and informative you are. Really puts wisdom on why to do certain things! Needed it and love it- you rock!
I really appreciate that you include guys and not just girls when talking in your videos!
Thank you! :D
Lots of great tips! I to use eye shadow for contouring, as it is very difficult to find shades for fair skin with pink undertones! Glad to see I'm not the only one! Keep up the great work! Cheers!
You look very beautiful without makeup (and with your natural eyebrows!!)
Thanks lovely! :)
I watched some of your videos (learned a lot from you), and I must say that I love the way you look in this one. Without contouring your nose, without ten. You look beutiful. Thanks for the video
I use Nyx taupe blush for contouring it's very cool tone and but too dark. Loads of great info here I am excited to play with your techniques! New subbie :)
Malinda Smith Yeah i like that one too! such a good colour! thank you lovely! x
This is an incredible tutorial, and you have just gained a new subscriber!! Having porcelain skin and trying to learn from other tutorials is MADNESS!! This was perfection. Will be trying once I pick up some product you used, really- thanks so much!!
You look gorgeous with minimal makeup 😳💕
Aw thanks :D
I love the way you did this! I really have no clue how to contour for my fair Scottish/Irish skin with my bright red hair 👩🦰 but I see a few items I need to purchase that are similar to your so I can give this a try! I’m a little overweight and I’d like to draw attention off my jaw line and neck area and forehead. Thank you for sharing.
Damn girl ....breatheeeeeee !
Finally!! A contour video for us pale ladies!! I never thought of using eye shadows for contouring. Thanks for the helpful video!!
This was super helpful, I've never found a contour colour that fits my skin tone, so I shall take your advice and search the matte eye shadows. Thanks :)
Yeah, I never would've thought of that!
This is the BEST contouring video I have seen (especially for us pale ladies) I have just started to do a very similar routine thanks to a recent MAC haul :)
Thanks for the inspiration! Love the techniques and advice, new to your channel and had to subscribe after watching this.
I always appreciate when you say add "and boy" after saying "girl", because boys do watch your tutes for makeup! :)
Not unless they're seriously lacking in the testosterone department.
@@amysnews6808 I feel great sympathy for you
The Sesame Street music I can't 🎶 😂😂love ya
I never thought of using eye shadows, thanks!
lwalker4969 You're welcome!! :D x
you are probably to most informative makeup artists on youtube! I love your videos and this helps a lot :)
genuinly _ thank you so much! xo
Hi from Scotland!
I have extremely pale yellow toned skin which is unfortunately rare, even rarer than having pale pink tone skin. I look darker when I do not where makeup but the second porcelain makeup touches my skin I look incredibly orange.
I used MACs NC 15 which was too dark for me and NW 10 which was too dark and a pink undertone. I then tried alabaster from bobbi brown for a while but it was a pink undertone and slightly darker than my skin. Now I use NARS sheer glow in Siberia which has a neutral undertone which is the best I have found.
Do you have any suggestion for neutral undertone contour products, they make nothing light enough with a yellow undertone.
Sara Letham Hey if you are as pale as you sound I think you should try MAC Face and Body in White. Yes, you read that right they have a pure white foundation. If you find it doesn't give you enough coverage you can mix it with whichever NC 15 product you're using and I think you'll get pretty close. I've had extremely pale clients for whom I mix C1 and White and it looks just right since the yellow undertone helps counteract the rossyness. Hope this helps!
I recommend Makeup Forever :)
Sara Letham I'm scottish as well and I have yellow toned skin as well. It's murder x
Sara Letham true match in w1. it's even actually too light for me and i mix it with w2.
Sara Letham # 2.0 urban decay naked. I'm like you, pale with a yellow undertone, it was the oNLY THING that matched even remotely closely
Stephanie, I learn more from watching your videos than any other beauty UA-camr. Thanks so much xo
I have had a hard time avoiding looking like I have way too much makeup on... I've tried full coverage products, I've tried sheer products... It's just so many layers, and it goes from being not enough to way too much, so quickly! Maybe it's the brushes I'm using? I'm very artistic and I'm really good at the contouring itself... It's just hard to keep it looking natural. :(
same here!!! If I try to do what she did it comes out cakey and too much! but then too light like a bb cream or something and you can see all my pores and shit still...its so hard for me. I have been using stila foundation with benefit powder which isn't bad at all. Just need to find a good concealer. and I think I need new brushes as well.
Stephanie I love you
You are amazing you are the best make up artist I have seen
I've been getting advice from other people and nothing works
I got the harmony from Mac
The vanilla from Mac
The wheat from Bobby brown
I love that you did the video for pale skin
I finally use everything I buy
Thank you so much
Xoxoxo
As some who is actually milk bottle white, i'm confused why someone with a tan is educating pale people how to correctly apply makeup for their skin tone.
As a first timer when it comes to contouring and highlighting, I knew I could come to your channel and learn what I needed to know!! Being SO pale, this was THE best video for me! Thanks again for being so thoughtful and taking the time out to make this one! :)
I'm so pale that most foundations don't match me, even if theyre the lightest shade in the line
really? what foundations have you tried? sometimes if you're very pale you'll need to get a white mixer so you can mix a little of that with your foundation :)
LannaG42 have you tried L'oreal true match in rose ivory? It's the palest colour they have and every single foundation I tried before that looked too orange on me, and I ALWAYS went for the lightest option available. L'oreal true match has been my favourite for years, it suits pale skin so much and it kind of blends into your natural skin tone. Doesn't look orange at all. The one thing I would say is that it's quite watery and it's light coverage as well so it might not be exactly what you're looking for but it's definitely worth researching if you haven't found anything that works for you yet :)
DUDE! Thankyou so much for posting this! I was always wondering about how to do a highlight and never even thought to use a white eyeshadow since I'm too pale to ever find a highlight in my color.
you're not pale ..
GTAvsICQ lol ok
Stephanie do you think the Aesthetica contouring kit will work with light skin?
Stephanie Lange Yes, you're fair. :) Like me. lol
P.S. There are levels of pale, youtubers. :P
She said at the start of the video she was fake tanned so she looked darker
+GTAvsICQ With youtubers I've learned to just ignore what they LOOK like because different cameras and lighting change their appearance and instead focus on what colors of foundation/concealer/etc they're using to get a better idea. TL;DR: she's very fair-skinned.
I have been looking for a contour video for pale skin forever! Very helpful, thank you!!!!
Ur cheek contour didn't look good... it looked like a long muddy stripe. but I usually love your vids 💯💘 Besides that... thx for ur advice throughout ur videos x
Thank you so much for all your tips! I'm in dire need of a makeover and I'm so grateful I found your page! Your voice and accent are lovely and I'm learning so much and gaining confidence by watching your videos. You are beautiful!
Hello Stephanie can you please slow your speech down? Your speaking soooo quickly I can't catch what your saying. Nice look though!
sorry about that! in my more recent videos ive made an effort to speak slower lol
no dont slow down! i hate when people speak slow i get so bored ! Youre videos are great!
I agree w/Annie. You really should slow your speech down. That was the only flaw that I could see. You are very pretty w/or w/o make up!
Thank god for this, contour and bronzer has been the bane of my life with super pale skin
Powder on my dry skin is impossible tbh....
You can do the same with concealer as well. There are some great kits on Amazon that have a ton of shades in one palette. I'm dry myself, and find concealer works better for me than powder as well.
Let me know if you would like some suggestions! :)
britmodel100 I suffer the same with dry skin. Suggestions would be fab!
Hi there! I personally like to use cream foundations one or two shades darker than my skin tone and a cream highlighter. My absolute favorite products are the stick foundations from Becca Cosmetics, but they're pricey so I like to substitute with Maybelline mousse whipped foundation. For highlighting, if you want to stick with a flat lighter color, try getting the same foundation a couple shades lighter than your skin tone, or you can use a cream highlighter like the Tyra Banks stick highlighter (there is also a contour stick) on HSN. If you want something with a little shimmer, try a vanilla or white shimmer cream shadow. I hope that helps, but if not, let me know! I've tried a lot of different products in this arena :)
Please do a makeup tutorial for the cover of this video!! Also what color lipstick are you wearing on the cover? its gorgeous!
I actually did film that makeup look but i figured it was a pretty boring look so i wasn't going to post it! lol now i might! I used Australia Cosmetics 'Mambo' lipstick i think :)
How... How is this pale?
+keybladesarah no she doesn't. her face has redness but it doesn't mean its pink toned. her neck looks yellow toned.
She's not pale at all mate
I found this video very helpful! I have a hard time just finding the right foundation. I have red undertones and applying face products aren't always easy for me. Thank you for the tips!!
It looks like the contour is going to your mouth...in your regular videos your contur is much better.
I'm a natural red head with Swedish and German heritage and up until now I was hopelessly lost on contouring because all of the other videos i watched were for darker or tan skinned people!! So thank u for helping me! :)
Great video! But could you talk slower? I had to watch it 3 times to get everything :D English is not my first language!
Yes, Yes, Yes.....like listening to a chipmunk....Also totally unable to understand the brands, colors and etc....Slow down!
augustgphs In case you missed anything, i do put it all in the description box...
Stephanie Lange Thank goodness for the "Description Box"!
Well its about time someone thought about us light to medium toned skin ladies! Thank you!
I'm sorry the voice was agrivating
You are stunning! I love your contour!! You look so pretty! I can relate to you so much! We are both pale with hooded eyes!!! Your makeup is flawless!! Keep it up!😌😌😌😌
am i the only one who thinks she did not do her make up very well at all in this video?? her fondation looks like its is in some places and not in other places? And her contour is terrible. >.< Can anyone direct me to a better video please!
You have gorgeous skin! Thank you for making this video- most of the contouring videos out there are based on a darker skin tone so this is super helpful. By the way, you have amazing skills!
Wtf. Is she a advertiser? She says morethan 1000 words perhaps. And please, I thought Photoshop could only make everything wonderful, wtf im wrong! :D but btw, u could only destroy ur face with that chemicals! Try to be pale using water and ice only! And instead of buying expensive make ups try to buy fruits and vegetables and get a excess sleep to look more fresh. I tell u guys, being pale is not beautiful. I still vote of being fresh looking. 3
lol what are you on about...?!
I think you're confused...this is not a video of how to be pale haha...
Lmfao
You missed the point.
That is a very unkind and nonsensical comment. She's a lovely woman, and many of us (especially Celtic, but also others) are born with very fair complexions. Given our lack of melanin to begin with, we do not tan easily, we sunburn easily. If you do not find pale girls beautiful, that's fine. To each his own. I think we will all manage to survive quite well without your approval.
Actually one of the most useful makeup videos I've ever watched thank you so much!!
This is the best video in the world!!!! I have been waiting for someone to do this and you are amazing!!!! THANK YOU!!!
this is an amazing tutorial!finally contouring where i don't look grubby at the end from using brown and orange products!thank-you stephanie! x
Megan Emma Thank YOU lovely!! xo
Remember watching these back in the day 💕
Thank you! Thank you!! This is the first time I have seen a "real" tutorial for cool contouring. Very good.
I actually liked this video out of all of them. Very informative and simple.
Absolutely love your tutorials :) there are so many girls on you tube doing the same tutorials but your positive energy and vibe does make a difference ..yours are actually very entertaining ))) I have a suggestion to also mention the products used below the video if possible for a quick reference , that would be great! Thank you for all the amazing tips
Thank you for this video! Extremely helpful. Ps. I didn’t think you were talking too fast. Keep doing you, girl.
Loving this video it's so flawless but not cakey also your hair is fabulous
Love your hair!! Please do a tutorial on how to do that top braid!!!❤️
This is been very helpful! I really appreciate the "education" on why us fair skinned people should use certain colors, tones, etc. I also have what I would consider to be a larger forehead, and I had no idea that contouring would make it appear more narrow. Great information, can't way to try it!
I honestly could not thank you more for this video!
Very well done.
I often use eyeshadows to contour as well. Its nice to see someone else so the same. I am told I have a neutral skin tone and I have a similar eye color to you. What kind of color do you suggest I use to contour, more warm or cool tones? You're beautiful by the way. Stunning.
I just tried this with Taupe & a matte white shade in NYX Natural palette. I have a neutral tone & worked great. Yellow tones the white might be to pasty, but if you found an off-white eggshell color, it may work. Taupe seems like it could swing either way
Pale skin with a yellow undertone? That's me! It is hard to find a foundation light enough. Even when I grab the lightest in the line of foundations, most brands were still too dark and a lot even turned orange. My all time favorite right now is Loreal True Match in Porcelain W1. They have warm, cool, and neutral shades from super light to dark. It also wears very well, similar to high end formulas and even better than some high end foundations. Hope this helps! :)
This was extremely helpful for me. I am ALWAYS struggling with being too pink because every contouring powder I've tried is warm. Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much! This was so helpful im a redhead with very very pale skin and everything you said makes so much sense and broken down so easily.
