Plastic Surgery With Make-Up Series: getting rid of dark cirlces & slimming the nose

Hi everyone...
this is gonna be a fun series....how to re-shape and highlight all the features on your face, they you may not be madly in love with....example: me and my nose....ha ha ha ha

SIDE NOTE: I'm gonna be posting all the info on getting into the GLAMINAR!!! later tonight or first thing in the morning...make sure you check soon, it'll have to be first come- first serve...due to all the awesome people that want to come!!!! I can't wait!!!!

here's the first video....on slenderizing the nose:
I used a flat artist brush, no wider than my little finger....
I used a shade 5-6 shades darker than my actual skin tone....
I used the dark color from my RCMA palette (you can get them at www.naimies.com, or google RCMA...they are around $60...I used the KO palette, I also have the SHINTO palette)

you can use the concealer sticks from MAC too.....they are easy to take with you if you are traveling....
off we go to nose-adjusting town.....




now I'm gonna show you how we're gonna brighten and erase all those un-loved, DARK CIRCLES, UNDER EYE RINGS & BAGS......and say hello to beautiful bright and lifted looking eyes!!!!
same thing...I used the RCMA palette....or you can use the LAURA MERCIER SECRET CAMO concealer duo's.....or any light concealer ..and then a warmer goldy color.... and a good powder to seal it all in with...so it doesn't felt off.....
now let's go to  "No-Under-Eye-Circle-City"....

I had a Revlon concealer laying around because I bought it and tried it a few times and it didn't work for me. But I used it again following your tutorial and it worked very well! Thank you so much for this technique!

By The Way.....You have a PERFECT nose. I don't see what you would have a complex about...I would love to have your nose.

Fist let me say I am a big fan of your makeup tutorials! I know this comment is in the wrong section but I really want you to read this. My name is Joyce I'm a makeup artist in Chicago. I am VERY INTERESTED AND SERIOUS about attending your makeup glaminar. I will be flying out to LA for the IMATS makeup show and will be in LA for 2 weeks. I will be able to attend the seminar any day that you still have available. I wish I would have responded to this sooner! I really hope you can squeeze me in, attending your seminar would really make my whole trip to LA! please contact me via email and let me know if I will be able to attend. thank you so much Kandee, hope to hear from you!!!

i love your makeup in this video especially the eyes, its a look I've been dying to get right but the colors I'm using are a little off pleassee do a tutorial and tell us how to get that look!

Unknown said...

you don't have a piggy nose. I look at your videos all the time and think you have a beautiful tiny nose and great bone structure. I saw the video with your mom and I can see where you get your great bone structure. I have a true Marilyn nose with the bulby tip, so this will help me. Actually my nose is more like Uma thurman's and I read this article in Allure one time that these plastic surgeons, all looked at these different celebs and said that Uma should have a nose job to have her tip off! Nice. My Mom has a true Marilyn nose which I've always envied. Post the Glaminar info. when you can. Have a great day.

YOU HAVE THE CUTEST NOSE IN THE WORLD! Every since I first saw your videos i thought of how adorable it was. i have a more pointy nose and i hate it. what is it with noses?! lol. :)

Kandee, please help us! My sister and I have brown discoloration all over our face, and the older we get the more we have. Now that summer is here, the more noticable they are. Do you have anything that will cover...we were considering Derma-blend, but haven't tried anything yet, other than our laura m. foundation. Thank you so much for all the info!!!!!!!!!!

Hi!

Could you make some more of your hairstyle tutorials? Would be great! =)

Lily said...

Hi Kandeee!
I love your make up vids. i was wondering if you could do one on the benefit Dr. Feel Good face balm. I've had that for awhile now, and i cannot figure out at all how to use it correctly. Anyway, if you could.. that'd be greeeat! :D

thanks!

carissakk said...

Your undereye video is the best! This has seriously helped me out so much. Thanks. And by the way... your nose is perfect... Id give anything for your nose :-)

herl said...

hi kandee! i discovered your blog all the way from austria! i love your tips, especially the undereye video! i bet its gonna make me seem alive during finals.
btw, do you know any tricks to slenderize the face? I'm really skinny, but somehow I have a reeeally round face with two huuuge chunky cheeks. my older cousins always used to make fun of me when i was small... kinda like your little sister. hehe.
and your nose is so perfect! there is absolutely nothing you have to alter on your flawless face!
cheers from europe!

could you do a video on the victoria secret look?

karen said...

Kandee, thank you so much for the video on the under eye circles and bags. I am confused about one thing though. Are the rcma pallets consealers? Because you said on your blog that u can use Laura Mercier secret camo duos instead. I looked up rcma and it said they are color process foundation. Is that the same as concealer? I hope this isn't a dumb question? Also, what brand and type of powder do u use over it? Thanks so much, I'm learning everything from you to be a makeup artist. You're the best! Karen

Sun kisses from France ;-) Fati

A/T said...

I would also love a makeup removal video, isn't that the least fun part of going out? ha!

I have a question for you, I bought this really dark bronzy concealer (pretty much in my skin tone) from The Make Up store; the lady there said it would work better than a lighter shade because it would look more realistic and still cover the circles, but now that I've seen your video I'm afraid I made a mistake! What do you think?

veronica said...

I have a very big complex about my nose too..it's long and hawky like at the bottom when I laugh....I hate it so much...but I think your nose is very beautiful and I always wanted a nose like yours,it's perfection in my opinion...love your videos and tips...keep up the good work...kisses

Brandon (YouTube subscriber blanet81) said...

Where can I get the RCMA pallets and about how much do they cost? The problem I run into with makeup, I spend so much time trying to find it...and then try to figure out if it is a fair price. Thanks for any advice.

Anonymous said...

WOW! Now THIS is a beauty supply house - www.naimies.com Ours are nothing compared to this one. If only I could visit Naimies. I'd go crazy buying everything. Thanks for sharing Kandee!

AlmaDelia said...

Just came across your videos on youtube, LOVE your work!! Oooh... I miss Naimies!! I was born and raised in the san fernando valley(currently in the inland empire) and when I lived there I would always shop at the Naimie's on Victory and Coldwater Cyn. and then when they opened their salon on Riverside Dr. I would go there as well. It's not the same shopping on their online store.

Jennifer Coomer said...

I've said this before and I'll say this again...I LOVE your nose! Jennifer hearts Kandee's nose. I see nothing wrong with it. It is a great nose. Truthfully.

That video on the under-eye stuff...wow! Super helpful! I am going to try that tomorrow morning. I have really bad allergies and they cause undereye darkness. And I have a lot of fine lines around my eyes from itchy eyes. So this is a great trick for me. I've heard you make reference to the triangle before - but hadn't watched this video yet to really get what you were talking about.
Awesome.
