Hi family. I have discovered that since I made this video most of the products I used were discontinued. So I've listed in the description box some of my tried & true favorites. I hope that helps. And, I've been getting several comments that say, "You talk to much." So here is the time stamp for when I start into the tutorial 2:52 Please forgive me as this video was made in the early days of my channel. I appreciate your patience so much. 💜 Oh & since this video, I've learned to use a microphone & the sound is much better. 🙃🎤🎚
Hi@@Michelle-pw1nt I have an updated one very recently. I hope you found it & liked it. I'm so excited for you to be here with me! Sending welcome hugs...💜💜💜
You did a great job demonstrating this! It's so nice to see a fuller-faced, over twenty-something woman showing us how to contour! Like it or not, our features do change over time. This demo was spot on! Thank you!
You are so real & down to earth just like talking with a girlfriend. You are a natural in front of the camera! Thanks for giving us a contour routine that I know I can do! FINALLY! All of the others I’ve attempted made me look older & cakey! Keep up the great videos you have a great arsenal of makeup knowledge!
I just came across your video now and loved it. I have a fat round face and was looking on how to contour it . Thanks for the tips. You are beautiful ❤
Excellent tips! I discovered contouring about 5-6 years ago (when I turned 40 actually!) and have been addicted ever since. It makes me feel so much more pulled together, confident and defined. 🥰 No matter what I weigh this year (haha). I think that’s another reason I’ve gotten addicted to makeup because it doesn’t matter what size I am, it helps me feel beautiful (and maybe even a little creative and artistic) every day. I suppose it’s part of learning self love and taking care of myself too. ☺️
Really liked how you contoured and not used too many products but kept it effective and simple. Somewhere following makeup tutorials on youtube as a beginner i get lost following as there's too much happening but yours was simple to follow.
Hi there Angel, I'm so very glad that you found it easy to follow. I know what you mean about when a video says "for beginners", so many time it's too complicated. So definitely not for someone just learning. I hope that you had a chance to try it and that it turned out for you? hugs sweetie xx
Great info. I had never heard of the two, three, four finger method. I immediately grabbed a mirror. I need the double chin, jowl line contour.. I am 60 and am starting to see my maternal grandmother looking back at me. I gain weight in my neck. I enjoy your videos.
Hi Marie, I had to giggle when you said you see your grandma looking back at you...I think that all the time. And I hear my mom's words in my ears..."oh I hate getting old' I wish we could enjoy every moment instead of have regrets. I'm so glad that you are enjoying the videos..hugs to you sweetie xoxo
I love you so much, Melissa!! As a mature fat face, I can totally use this in my everyday makeup routine!!! You're one of the most real UA-camrs I have ever watched and I look forward to your videos!!! Love, Your biggest fan
OH MY GOODNESS! What a kind comment Shelley, thank you! And I'm honored that you're my biggest fan! You just truly made my day! Sending hugs your way! xoxo
Gain and loss are equal opportunity face changers. With age I lost fat taking away contour along with some drooping. I sincerely appreciated this video. I’m excited to try you’re ideas. You’re an angel
I'm so glad to have come across this video! I needed a more realistic contouring tutorial for a "mature face" (I just turned 48--ack!), but I also found another Fibro-Sister. I can't wait to watch more vids that you've made! God bless!!!
I'm so glad that you found me! Just want to say welcome to our little family. I hope you enjoyed the other videos. Let me know I can help with anything at all, that's what I'm here for. xoxo #fibrowarrior
Thank you for your tutorial! I have the same beginning jowls and recently discovered that I can “improve” the same basic contour, by going over the jowl (not just underneath). That way you create an illusion for a straightened line, instead of “wavy”. It’s not sufficient to shadow under the jaw line, because it just showcase the jowls in a wavy jaw. But if you “over line” and blur it (smile to see how much you need to adjust it), then your jawline will appear lifted! Try it a few times and you will see it working:)💕
Lot of respect to you, for this video. I'm 67 yrs. Young, my face has changed over the year's. Now i can help it look good again. Thanks to your honesty. God bless.
@@MrsMelissaM Thank you for taking the time to reply to me. As i go along, I'm sure I'll have questions. It's nice to know i have someone to turn to. God bless.
Fat faces are adorable! They are youthful looking due to the fat. There is nothing negative about a fat face. I wish I still had my fat face. People had always mistakenly thought I was 15 years younger than my actual age until I lost a lot of weight and all the fat disappeared along with the fat in my face! 😢 Of all the places on your body that you would want the fat gone the face should never be one of those places. How many Celebrities get fat injections to fill out their faces so that they can appear youthful! Who wants to look gaunt?! To all those with fat faces, Be proud! You will age very gracefully and youthful looking! 😊
That’s so true. I have a round face and it’s part of what kept me young looking for so long. And nice full lips. The last couple years o have really started to show my age though. Man I get carded till I was 40! Lol. Ahh, the good old days!
Omg! You're stunningly beautiful!!! I too have fibromyalgia so I totally understand what you meant the sagging skin is horrible from me being sick for so many yrs. Thank you for your tips. 💜
Thank you for the awesome video and tips. I am 60 and I too have fibromyalgia for many years. I take 2 prescriptions one is Duluxetine (Cymbalta) and Methocarbamol. The meds do help but I still have flare ups. Your hair looks beautiful and so does your makeup.
New subscriber here. So refreshing and nice to see a " relatable " beauty youtuber. Loving the videos ive watched so far. Very helpful and interesting.
Hi Miss Sparkz! So happy that you've subscribed, thank you! I'm really glad that you are enjoying the videos. I really appreciate the feedback. Welcome to our family!
I took two screenshots, one at the beginning, and one at the end. Put them side by side and WOWWWW what a difference! You've blended it so well and used just the right amount of product for us older ladies, I'm going to try this now! Thank you ❤️
I'm so very happy you enjoyed the video Pamela, and I hope it turned out well for you! Thank you so much for spending a few minutes with me here! hugs! xo
I’m so glad you tagged this on your latest video!! This was really helpful. I also have a round face and a four-finger forehead. Lol. I wore bangs since I was in the first grade until just a couple months ago in an effort to hide my forehead. A girl I work with finally convinced me to do my hair different. You know no one noticed the bangs were gone but I started getting so many compliments that I looked younger! People just said there’s something different about you...did you get a makeover...new glasses...Botox?!?! Lol I wish I’d gotten rid of the bangs completely covering my forehead years ago.
Hi Angel, I had the very same experience. I have such a high forehead that I always thought I had to wear bangs. It's just been this year that I stopped, in fact if you look at some of my older videos you'll see mine. I'm having so much fun with my long hair. You rock it girl, I bet you look amazingly beautiful! xoxo
Girl I'm in the same boat. I have fibromyalgia also. I tell everyone, when they telle oh you're not fat, let me tell ya, I'm just keeping my wrinkles plumped up. Love this tutorial. Great tips. Thanks
Hi Gina, I know, the more weight I lose the more pronounced my wrinkles get. And I'm not even close to my goal. Shudder at the thought...lol. hugs girlfriend xoxo
just butting in here...I just saw a health and wellness video and it stated that a selenium supplement can cure fibromyalgia in 3 weeks. idn have it but it may be worth the research...good luck
I’ve got fibromyalgia too. I give u props mama cuz I rarely have energy to even do my makeup. I’m a disabled, army veteran & single mother of a very active 2 yr old. I just wanna feel pretty sometimes so makeup is all I’d be able to do. Thnx for this video. I hope I’m able to try it out soon. 🙏🏼💖😊
So I got diagnosed with fibromyalgia and gained alot of weight but I didn't know that was a side effect of the disease (idk anything about it no education resources given) but the medication I thought was causing the weight gain? Help..
I just found your channel and I'm so happy. Finally, someone talking about maturing skin with realistic tips and tricks. I am turning 48 this summer and I am struggling with my changing skin. Products and techniques that worked great, are suddenly not working at all. Im still searching for several products for my very dry, dehydrated skin. I am going to binge watch all your videos!
Hi there Tanta! I'm so excited that you're here with me. Yes our skin is definitely different as we age, and with different challenges too! When i turned 47 i started to notice it too! I hope you're enjoying the videos! Sending you a new friend hug! ❌⭕❌⭕
This was great! Very informative and easy to follow, and I can't wait to try it! I bought a contour palette recently and it was a bit of a mystery to me what to do with all of it. lol
Really found this video helpful and instructive. I’m 68 and never tried contouring or highlighting but probably will after watching this video. Thanks for the great tips. 👍
Love it! You look amazing before the contour and gorgeous after the contour! I haven't tried the contour down my neck in a V. But you can bet I will! Thanks for doing this. This is so much simpler and better than most I've seen!
I do have a tutorial on it. here is the link. ua-cam.com/video/JU0yE4DpnzE/v-deo.html I don't have hair like that anymore because of my health and some major hair loss that I experienced. I hope you do enjoy it though.
I loved your video. An actual genuine woman finally doing make up videos!! I have a round face and I cant wait to try your contour its so simple to do x
I found this video very helpful. I’m a “late bloomer” (age 59) learning how to contour after putting on weight during menopause. Your video tutorial makes it very easy. I’ve looked at many and they’re so complex and not really geared towards my age. I do have a question, what have you found to be the best foundation that doesn’t break the bank? Any suggestions for women my age? Thank you!
Great job! I'm a makeup junkie and think I'm pretty good at contour but really want to make under my neck look thinner. I like that trick taking it down the neck in a v shape! It made such a difference on you! Great video!
THANK YOU! I am 49 and have a very round face that is experiencing a lot of sag from a large weight loss. This was so very helpful & proved a prefect guide to show me how to "rejuvenate" myself.
Well I learned that I definitely need contour on my forehead. 😂 You're so high energy it's a bit overwhelming but great tips so I subbed. I noticed that YT unsubbed me from two channels that I had just subbed to the other day which was annoying bc I don't want notifications popping up all day but I do still want to be subbed to channels I like. 😒 I thought I had accidentally forgotten to sub to one but when I noticed the other I knew something was wrong. Now I know why. Thanks 💚
You are awesome I’m 39 and have both issues with some aging and a chubby face. You broke this down beautifully with products that dont break the bank!! Thank you so much!!!
Hi Jami, I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. I know we all can't afford high end, and drugstore is every bit as good as more expensive products. Thank you for your comment, because hearing from you does help me to know how I'm doing and I so appreciate this. Sending hugs your way dear xoxo
Hi there Stacey, I hope you are enjoying the other content on my channel. And thank you so much for your kind compliment. I look back at these pictures and wish my hair was still that healthy. But then I just think, well, hair grows right... anyway, rambling, sorry about that. hugs my new friend xx
well hello there Leandra, what a pretty name. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and I hope that you continue to like my channel's content. I'm looking forward to hearing from you many times. Sending Welcoming hugs your way xx.
Hi Melissa and everyone. I havent even started your video yet but yes!! Im excited to watch it though. Being a 54 yr.old woman which has gained a lot of unwanted wright since my health has decreased over the yrs. I've always wanted to try to contour my well to me fat face , but im fair complected too .I know i couldnt go by all these videos we see of all mostly young girls n women doing these videos. Like i saud before though i was excited about finding your channel a. Few months ago...Finally someone around my age with a few of the same makeup n beauty concerns and wants .yayy!!! Thanks for sharing n have a blessed day☺
Hi there Cindy, I'm so sorry that it took me a bit to respond. I love to welcome new ladies. I'm so happy that you found me and I'm hoping that you continue to enjoy the content. I'm looking forward to getting to know you. Please comment as often as you like. I love the interaction so much. Big welcoming hugs coming your way my dear xoxo
Thank you so much, I have been wanting to learn how to do this and I just came across your video tonight, you are definitely someone I will watch every time you come on you have no idea how thankful I am that I found you, I am 56 and have fibromyalgia also, and I have gained over 100 pounds in six years so mine used to be thinner face is quite round now, I actually quit wearing make up for years and decided that it was time to start living again, all my life you wouldn’t of caught me without make up from early morning till I went to bed, thank you thank you thank you for being here, you made my day.
Hi there Glenda, oh my dear I'm so glad that you are here with me too! And thank you for sharing some of your story with me. It sounds like we have an awful lot of the same struggles. I used to be that girl too, the all day makeup and hair lady. Now I'm the out for 2 hours and stripping my bra off and jumping into my jammies the second I hit the door girl....lol. I'm looking forward to getting to know you more dear! big welcoming hugs dear...xoxo
I noticed that you didn't blend when you finished. How do you manage to avoid needing to blend the contour lines. I see a lot of blending going on in contour videos. Please and thank you!
I think it has a lot to do with the color I used and pressure too. I do recommend you blend until you feel like it's enough for what you like. It's all about what you feel comfortable with. I like mine a bit less blended to keep the darkness in the area, but the edges definitely need blended a lot. I hope that wasnt more confusing.
Loved your video. I will try as of tomorrow. I will check on Amazon for the same brush that you used Thank you. I too have that kind of face and i will be 52 in March
MrsMelissaM Beauty mama, u r prettier than the lady from legally blonde & Stifflers mom, not to be mean cuz both ladies r very pretty. Ur a very pretty lady. I have fibromyalgia too but it’s hard for me to do my makeup except for rare occasions.
You are such a wonderful presence in my life! I am also in my 50’s, with fibromyalgia, and have gained, um, “a bit” of weight - especially in my face. This video is fantastic!
I have had fibromyalgia since 1995 so I understand everything you are going thru ! I am impressed that you can even do this‼️ I am watching & you are a God send ♥️
Awww Pam, bless you for saying that. There are days that it's really hard. 2018 was my worst year. But I'm so hopeful for 2019. Cheers to a great year for us both. Sending you gentle hugs xo
Hey pretty lady. I’m going through your videos .. how wonderful .. I’m 44 and have started getting signs of aging this is so helpful ! I am starting to get s little bit loose skin.. it’s sucks ! I feel 20ys old .. 😂I have gained weight the past year so this is helpful! Great job
Hi Cheryl, I'm so very happy that you found the video helpful! And thank you for checking out some of my older videos. I know what you mean about feeling 20! xoxo
I really enjoyed your video. I found it to be VERY useful and alot easier than the others out there. I'm 51 years young. So this helped me out SOOOO much. Keep up the advice for us older women. God Bless. By the way your A Beautiful amazing woman
Thank you, thank you so much for this video! I have the same exact problems and I have never seen anyone address them like you have. Just wow.............Now all I have to do is save the money to get the exact brushes and products and I will be back to follow your instructions again!
Love this video! I learned anew about taking the contour down the front of the neck to elongate the neck. I can’t wait to try this! I have a short neck, & I always contour, so I’m going to try it ASAP. Thank you so much! ✨💖✨
New Subscriber here and Loved this Tutorial. I'm literally amazed that you were told that you talked too much. I guess some people did not learn that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. I have learned how time consuming it is to make these Tutorials...filming, editing, etc., etc., etc.. I for one feel very blessed to have someone spend all that time helping me, and MANY people like me to learn so much valuable info. So all I can say is Thank You so very much! I'm sure I will be binge watching all of your Tutorials!
I have just found your channel and I have to say I love this fat face contour video. It looks so easy. I need the jowl and chin contour. Must say I love the messy bun video as well !
Hi Nicky, welcome dear! Thank you so much for subscribing and it's so good to hear that you are enjoying the videos. Please let me know if I can help with anything at all. That's what I'm here for. Sending you a big hug! xo
Thank you, our faces are very similar. You can tell a difference, too! I recently got a contour palette and I'm learning how to do it. ( I'm 64) LOL but have very good skin I'm told, ( I agree ), have always taken care of it and now the sagging is really showing up!! Again, thank you for your video and you DON"T talk too much, I need all the directions I can get!
Hi dear, thank you so much for this kind comment. I do much better now with not rambling, but the teacher in me always wants to over explain things...lol! I hope that the video helps you. I think contour charts make contour seem much more complicated than it has to be. I'd love to hear how it turns out for you. BTW, I love your username! xoxo
@@MrsMelissaM Your welcome, and I used to be a teacher too! But I'm terrible with disciplining a whole class and I am more suited to deal with mental health issues so I became a therapist. I also kind of think outside the box, hence the name LOL I think the contouring turned out well, like everything else I need practice. I don't want to look like the 80's when blush was like this big line under your cheek bone LOL I got an Anastasia contour palette on EBay for only 13 bucks, I love it. Thanks again!!
It is so refreshing to watch a REAL woman. I've only recently started to bother with ask of this fuss but watching your video has made me want to bother with contouring. Thank you so much.
hey there Rhiannon, well if you bother with it, lol, I'm sure you'll be great at it and love your results. Let me know if you have any other questions. hugs dear xoxo
@@MrsMelissaM I forgot in the first post 😃 it does help that you are a very attractive woman in the first place. I'm going to have a play today so I'm going to try out your contouring.
Love your sweet videos!! I've had a round, round face all my life!! Looking forward to this and all your videos...you explain techniques so simply and well🌈
You do not talk to much! How rude! I love your videos. I know this is an older one but you just be you cause I love your enthusiasm! Great contouring tips! Thanks for updating the products for us for 2019. You rock!
Hi family. I have discovered that since I made this video most of the products I used were discontinued. So I've listed in the description box some of my tried & true favorites. I hope that helps.
And, I've been getting several comments that say, "You talk to much." So here is the time stamp for when I start into the tutorial 2:52 Please forgive me as this video was made in the early days of my channel. I appreciate your patience so much. 💜
Oh & since this video, I've learned to use a microphone & the sound is much better. 🙃🎤🎚
Love your hair, please make a tutorial how did u make your hair : )
Hi Marian, here is my hair tutorial, I hope you enjoy it! xoxo

I also have fibromyalgia. My face is more round than ever. I need these tops.
I just found your channel and I'm so happy. Finally, someone talking about maturing skin with realistic tips and tricks. I am turning 48 this summer and I am struggling with my changing skin.
Products and techniques that worked great, are suddenly not working at all.
Im still searching for several products for my very dry, dehydrated skin.
I am going to binge watch all your videos!
Hi there Tanta! I'm so excited that you're here with me. Yes our skin is definitely different as we age, and with different challenges too! When i turned 47 i started to notice it too! I hope you're enjoying the videos! Sending you a new friend hug! ❌⭕❌⭕
This was great! Very informative and easy to follow, and I can't wait to try it! I bought a contour palette recently and it was a bit of a mystery to me what to do with all of it. lol
Really found this video helpful and instructive. I’m 68 and never tried contouring or highlighting but probably will after watching this video. Thanks for the great tips. 👍
Yay Gail! I'm so glad that you liked the video and found it helpful. I hope it turns out for you. hugs lady xo
Best contour video ever!! Thank you :)
Luv yur videos ❤❤
Yes! Finally a helpful detailed contouring video for those of us with a round face! I can do this! Thank you!
hi Marissa, yay! so glad it was helpful. Let me know how it turns out okay? I'd love to hear! xoxo
This was one of the most detailed contouring videos I've seen! I was very impressed! Great job!
awww, what a nice thing to say! thank you! xoxo 🍃🌻🍃💛🍃🌻🍃
Love this, super simple and down to earth tutorial. You are a star ⭐️
You are adorable! I definitely need this but I'm so fair that I've never found a contour that looked decent on me, but it looks great on you!
Hi Susan, try finding a light eyeshadow in a neutral tone. It will work just as good and they blend out good too. xoxo
I loved your video! So nice to see a tutorial for older ladies with all the problems that come with age!! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Love it! You look amazing before the contour and gorgeous after the contour! I haven't tried the contour down my neck in a V. But you can bet I will! Thanks for doing this. This is so much simpler and better than most I've seen!
hi Charlotte, I'm glad you felt like it was easier. makeup shouldn't be hard. it's too much fun! xoxo 🍃💖🍃💖🍃💖🍃
Thank you for the great demonstration! Very educational and helpful!
I'm glad you enjoyed it Jen, thank you.
Can you please do a tutorial on how you do your hair? I love it. It’s beautiful.
I do have a tutorial on it. here is the link. ua-cam.com/video/JU0yE4DpnzE/v-deo.html I don't have hair like that anymore because of my health and some major hair loss that I experienced. I hope you do enjoy it though.
Thank you! Simple technique with great explanations. You address all my aging/fattening issues and offer inexpensive product suggestions. ♡♡♡♡
So happy it was helpful Kate! xoxo
These are the videos I absolutely NEED and LOVE❤️❤️❤️ I never knew about the finger length on the forehead and that is so so helpful!! Thank You!!!!
truth be told Crystal, I could probably do 5 fingers, but that's how I learned. so glad that you like these videos. luv you lady! 🍃⚘🍃⚘🍃⚘🍃
MrsMelissaM LOVE THEM❤️!! Keep them coming, they're the BEST!! Thank You😘😘 XOXOX
Crystal Fuentes I never knew that either. Great tip! I'm like 2 3/4.....so I guess I could use a little?
hi Beth, with your hairline, I really wouldn't worry about it. honestly I bet it's just fine! xoxo 🍃⚘🍃⚘🍃⚘🍃
hi Crystal, I loved it when I learned that too. such a great tip! luv u! xoxo 🍃❤🍃❤🍃❤🍃
I loved your video. An actual genuine woman finally doing make up videos!! I have a round face and I cant wait to try your contour its so simple to do x
Hi Rocio, I'm so happy that you liked it. I hope it works well for you. Please let me know if I can help with anything! xoxo
I found this video very helpful. I’m a “late bloomer” (age 59) learning how to contour after putting on weight during menopause. Your video tutorial makes it very easy. I’ve looked at many and they’re so complex and not really geared towards my age. I do have a question, what have you found to be the best foundation that doesn’t break the bank? Any suggestions for women my age? Thank you!
Hi Kathy. I have 2 foundation videos that I've done recently.

Great job! I'm a makeup junkie and think I'm pretty good at contour but really want to make under my neck look thinner. I like that trick taking it down the neck in a v shape! It made such a difference on you! Great video!
Hi Mandy, you'll have to let me know how you like it when you try it. I'd love to hear from you. hugs xx
You’re a Stevie nicks dupe! ❤️
THANK YOU! I am 49 and have a very round face that is experiencing a lot of sag from a large weight loss. This was so very helpful & proved a prefect guide to show me how to "rejuvenate" myself.
Well I learned that I definitely need contour on my forehead. 😂 You're so high energy it's a bit overwhelming but great tips so I subbed. I noticed that YT unsubbed me from two channels that I had just subbed to the other day which was annoying bc I don't want notifications popping up all day but I do still want to be subbed to channels I like. 😒 I thought I had accidentally forgotten to sub to one but when I noticed the other I knew something was wrong. Now I know why. Thanks 💚
Thank you a million times over. I have never heard anyone explain contouring better. Finally at my age I can master this art. More videos please!
Hi Yvonne, I'm so so glad that you found it helpful. You will have to update me and tell me how it worked for you. I'd love to hear. Hugs lady xoxo
Beautiful.
thank you Linda xoxo

I'm looking forward to getting to know you. Please comment as often as you like. I love the interaction so much. Big welcoming hugs coming your way my dear xoxo
Hi how're you doing
Thank you so much, I have been wanting to learn how to do this and I just came across your video tonight, you are definitely someone I will watch every time you come on you have no idea how thankful I am that I found you, I am 56 and have fibromyalgia also, and I have gained over 100 pounds in six years so mine used to be thinner face is quite round now, I actually quit wearing make up for years and decided that it was time to start living again, all my life you wouldn’t of caught me without make up from early morning till I went to bed, thank you thank you thank you for being here, you made my day.
Hi there Glenda, oh my dear I'm so glad that you are here with me too! And thank you for sharing some of your story with me. It sounds like we have an awful lot of the same struggles. I used to be that girl too, the all day makeup and hair lady. Now I'm the out for 2 hours and stripping my bra off and jumping into my jammies the second I hit the door girl....lol. I'm looking forward to getting to know you more dear! big welcoming hugs dear...xoxo
I noticed that you didn't blend when you finished. How do you manage to avoid needing to blend the contour lines. I see a lot of blending going on in contour videos. Please and thank you!
I think it has a lot to do with the color I used and pressure too. I do recommend you blend until you feel like it's enough for what you like. It's all about what you feel comfortable with. I like mine a bit less blended to keep the darkness in the area, but the edges definitely need blended a lot. I hope that wasnt more confusing.
@@MrsMelissaM Not confusing! Impressive!!!
Loved your video. I will try as of tomorrow. I will check on Amazon for the same brush that you used
Thank you. I too have that kind of face and i will be 52 in March
Hi Nathalie, I'm so glad you're going to try it. I hope that it works for you. xoxo
You are amazing. I love your open acceptance of who you are and your illness, That makes a beautiful lady inside and out.
Thanks so much Tina
I'm getting legally blonde vibes. Remember Paulette? The beautician who was trying to learn the " bend and snap"? You totally look like her!
I get told a lot that I look like her...too funny!
@@MrsMelissaM You're prettier tho and don't have fake lips =)
Oh haha yea!!
MrsMelissaM Beauty mama, u r prettier than the lady from legally blonde & Stifflers mom, not to be mean cuz both ladies r very pretty. Ur a very pretty lady. I have fibromyalgia too but it’s hard for me to do my makeup except for rare occasions.
Her name is JENNIFER COOLIDGE she was the crazy mom in AMERICAN PIE too and is also on the sit com TWO BROKE GIRLS
This is a great tutorial on contouring...Thank you so much! Love your channel!
I'm so happy you enjoyed it!
There is not enough contouring I can do to cover my double chin lol 😂
I have watched this video numerous times and I share this much needed information on FB quite often. thank you beautiful lady.
Awww, you're so sweet! Thank you Amberly. Beautiful name btw.
Damn girl, 2 mins in and still not to the point.
More like 3 1/2 minutes. This wasnt too long after I started. We learn as we go right?
Thank you for this video! This makes contouring seem a lot less daunting for me! I’m going to give it a try! 💕
I'd love to hear what you think of it if you give it a try Lynne!
You are such a wonderful presence in my life! I am also in my 50’s, with fibromyalgia, and have gained, um, “a bit” of weight - especially in my face. This video is fantastic!
I'm so glad it was helpful Kate
@@MrsMelissaM And in case you hadn’t heard it yet today, you are a total ROCKSTAR. 🤩
I have had fibromyalgia since 1995 so I understand everything you are going thru ! I am impressed that you can even do this‼️ I am watching & you are a God send ♥️
Awww Pam, bless you for saying that. There are days that it's really hard. 2018 was my worst year. But I'm so hopeful for 2019. Cheers to a great year for us both. Sending you gentle hugs xo
Hey pretty lady. I’m going through your videos .. how wonderful .. I’m 44 and have started getting signs of aging this is so helpful ! I am starting to get s little bit loose skin.. it’s sucks ! I feel 20ys old .. 😂I have gained weight the past year so this is helpful! Great job
Hi Cheryl, I'm so very happy that you found the video helpful! And thank you for checking out some of my older videos. I know what you mean about feeling 20! xoxo
You don’t talk to much! Your talking helps keep me entertained! I enjoy listening to you! Don’t listen to the haters! 😊
Thanks so much!
I really enjoyed your video. I found it to be VERY useful and alot easier than the others out there. I'm 51 years young. So this helped me out SOOOO much. Keep up the advice for us older women. God Bless. By the way your A Beautiful amazing woman
Thank you so much JoAnn! I'm super happy it was helpful to you. That means a lot to me!💜
Thank you, thank you so much for this video! I have the same exact problems and I have never seen anyone address them like you have. Just wow.............Now all I have to do is save the money to get the exact brushes and products and I will be back to follow your instructions again!
You don’t talk too much. You are wonderful and helpful. Thanks!
Oh thank you for this kind comment Michelle!😘
Girl, you are beautiful, but I'm really loving your confidence.
She is such a beautiful young lady with such a beautiful spirit! Very helpful thank you for info
awww thank you so much Beverly. And I'm so happy that you found the video helpful! have a wonderful rest of your weekend! xoxo
Love this video! I learned anew about taking the contour down the front of the neck to elongate the neck. I can’t wait to try this! I have a short neck, & I always contour, so I’m going to try it ASAP. Thank you so much! ✨💖✨
You are so welcome Liz. I hope it works well for you
Love it! I watched a video before yours and it was so much to contour I just can't do that! Yours is so easy and it works !
Yay! That makes me so happy! thank you! xoxo
Thank you for the wonderful tips! Especially bringing the chin contour down thru the neck.
My pleasure Tara. I'm happy you enjoyed the video.
Very informative for me! You are so pretty! You explained it so easily!😃💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
What a WONDERFUL DESK!!!!
Thank you Jody. It was a rare find on Craigslist years ago.
You're what they call big & beautiful! ☺ You don't need to contour if you don't want to, but go ahead & be fun & versatil! You just go girl!
So sweet of you Nancy!
I enjoyed you video on contouring especially the neck and I realized I’m not doing enough to my neck !! I going to try it!! Thank you!
I hope it works for you Dawn. I'd love to hear from you! xx
I'm 49 Thank you for the tips for my round face! I never contour or bronze. I didn't even know the difference. Thank you!! 😊
I'm so glad you liked the video Caroline. It makes a huge difference in my makeup!
This is the BEST contouring video!!!!!! OMG I can't believe I haven't found this before now! Thank you!
I'm so glad you liked it Michelke. Thanks a bunch for watching!
Thanks so much for making a simple, yet very effective tutorial. You have taken the scary out of contouring!
You're so welcome!
New Subscriber here and Loved this Tutorial. I'm literally amazed that you were told that you talked too much. I guess some people did not learn that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. I have learned how time consuming it is to make these Tutorials...filming, editing, etc., etc., etc.. I for one feel very blessed to have someone spend all that time helping me, and MANY people like me to learn so much valuable info. So all I can say is Thank You so very much! I'm sure I will be binge watching all of your Tutorials!
Welcome onboard new friend! Thanks so much for that kind comment about how long it takes to complete a video! They are labors of love!
I have just found your channel and I have to say I love this fat face contour video. It looks so easy. I need the jowl and chin contour. Must say I love the messy bun video as well !
Hi Nicky, welcome dear! Thank you so much for subscribing and it's so good to hear that you are enjoying the videos. Please let me know if I can help with anything at all. That's what I'm here for. Sending you a big hug! xo
Thank you, our faces are very similar. You can tell a difference, too! I recently got a contour palette and I'm learning how to do it. ( I'm 64) LOL but have very good skin I'm told, ( I agree ), have always taken care of it and now the sagging is really showing up!! Again, thank you for your video and you DON"T talk too much, I need all the directions I can get!
Hi dear, thank you so much for this kind comment. I do much better now with not rambling, but the teacher in me always wants to over explain things...lol! I hope that the video helps you. I think contour charts make contour seem much more complicated than it has to be. I'd love to hear how it turns out for you. BTW, I love your username! xoxo
@@MrsMelissaM Your welcome, and I used to be a teacher too! But I'm terrible with disciplining a whole class and I am more suited to deal with mental health issues so I became a therapist. I also kind of think outside the box, hence the name LOL I think the contouring turned out well, like everything else I need practice. I don't want to look like the 80's when blush was like this big line under your cheek bone LOL I got an Anastasia contour palette on EBay for only 13 bucks, I love it. Thanks again!!
It is so refreshing to watch a REAL woman. I've only recently started to bother with ask of this fuss but watching your video has made me want to bother with contouring. Thank you so much.
hey there Rhiannon, well if you bother with it, lol, I'm sure you'll be great at it and love your results. Let me know if you have any other questions. hugs dear xoxo
@@MrsMelissaM I forgot in the first post 😃 it does help that you are a very attractive woman in the first place. I'm going to have a play today so I'm going to try out your contouring.
I love your Florentine desk.
Your hair is so pretty and the style looks so good on you.
Thank you Donna. Xo
Love your sweet videos!! I've had a round, round face all my life!! Looking forward to this and all your videos...you explain techniques so simply and well🌈
Oh I'm so happy you like them Cass. And I'm even happier that they were helpful for you! Sending you hugs! xo
The contouring came out very nice
I'm so glad Jacqui! hugs lady! xo
omg. How many beauty guru videos have I watched?! This was the best on contour out there!
Awww, thank you so much for saying that. I'm really happy it was helpful. Xoxo💜💜💜💜
Wow. THe best video I watched about contouring and the plus is for more rounded face. THanks a lot for this video from Italy. Grazie
You're very welcome Grazie. I'm so happy you liked it! 😘
You do not talk to much! How rude! I love your videos. I know this is an older one but you just be you cause I love your enthusiasm! Great contouring tips! Thanks for updating the products for us for 2019. You rock!
Hi Pam, thank you so much. People can be harsh. But it's so nice to have friends like you that are upbuilding. Sending you a huge hug dear! xo
This was so informative, easy and you look stunning. I’m going to give it a try.
Best tips and tricks video for contouring that I've seen😍😍😍😍😍
Hi Tamika, Wow! Thank you so very much for this comment! It means so much to me that you would say that. hugs doll xoxo
