Makeup for Uneven Facial Features | Beauty Tips and Techniques

uh guys wanted to give you some tips for uneven facial features and how to fix them or make them look a little bit more even using makeup so in a similar vein to my hooded eye video uh makeup for hooded eyes you have to be realistic and that is number one okay if you have an eyebrow that's all the way up here and your other eyebrow is down here there's only so much that you can do with makeup okay so you gotta be realistic sort of like shaving off one of them and drawing it in completely you know what I mean or shaving them off completely and just drawing them in which is an option something that you need to keep in mind is that everybody's features are uneven it doesn't matter how uneven you think your face is versus somebody else none of us are perfectly symmetrical there may be some people out there who have like what we think are perfectly symmetrical faces it just doesn't exist okay everyone has uneven features and as we get older Unfortunately tbecome more distinct something that I've noticed in myself I feel like the most common ones are uh eyebrows and lips so that's what I'm going to be showing you today but these tips will apply to basically any feature I have a really great tip for you because sometimes it can be really difficult when you're staring at your face or seeing our reflection in a mirror constantly and you kind of get used to seeing your face in that way and then uh it just becomes like so hard to it's hard to see with fresh eyes you're not seeing yourself the way that other people are right so my first tip is preferably not to take a photo of yourself using your front camera because there's just so much Distortion with your front camera and also um it's mirrored at least on the iPhone I think you can I think that's a setting you can turn off but I don't I don't know how so what I would suggest is taking a photo with your back camera on your phone or a camera you know something that is going to do the least Distortion so you have like a better idea of your actual features so for instance I would suggest holding your camera like back pretty far so that there's less Distortion and taking a photo just head just straight on so what I'm going to do I'm going to zoom into my face so this view when I'm looking at it is the opposite of what I see when I look in the mirror and that's what you want you want to see the opposite you want to see your face in reverse because you get used to seeing your face a certain way wait not my right my left that's left okay so now when I see this it becomes very obvious to me that my left eyebrow comes up higher you can probably see it here but it's very obvious to me here that my left eyebrow comes up higher than my right eyebrow my right eyebrow is pretty straight comparatively also my left eyelid see lower than my well I mean almost significantly lower and considering that my left eyebrow comes up higher I have quite a bit more space in this area that's the biggest thing I can see my lips my the left side of my lip here the Lower Side is a little bit Fuller this side uh it comes it's a little bit pointier here and then it gets thinner this way yeah those are the biggest things that I see there's also like my left cheekbone is a little bit larger and uh this part of my face comes out it looks like a little bit further but like again be realistic there's only so much you can do you know so let's focus on the things that really bug us uh for me it's definitely eyebrows and lips I'm gonna do what I always do I'm going to go in with some soap first to set them and I'm going to try to keep in mind that this eyebrow is lower so especially like um at the arch I'm going to try to give it more of a lift now for my other eyebrow this area is pretty sparse this area comes up pretty high compared to this eyebrow I'm going to try to even them out as much as possible in each step so I'm going to start by brushing this up I want enough lift here because that area is more sparse than this eyebrow and then I want to kind of like straighten them out since my Arch comes up higher than this brow so already we've kind of lifted this brow up a little bit and we've made this one look ever so slightly more straight while we're waiting for that to set I'm looking at this photo and what I can see is that my left eye this area goes back a little bit further it looks a little bit more defined probably because you can see a little bit more of my eyelid whereas on this eye it kind of looks like this part comes down a little bit further hangs like a little bit more so when I'm doing my eye shadow I want to keep that in mind I want to make sure that I'm really defining this pushing this area back and lifting it ever so slightly all right so now that my brow hairs are dry I'm going to go in with my brow tint pen by NYX this is in the shade taupe and I'm going to try to even them out as much as possible so what I'm going to do is start off by filling them in the areas where they're most sparse so keeping it a little bit more centered to the brow hairs I want to stop and kind of see so like this one is a little more full on the end this is the eyebrow that I like the most I like the shape of it the most so I usually do it first and then try to get as close as possible on the other side okay so basic shape here now see how this Arch comes up a little bit higher so I want to start a little low to bring this down a little bit stopping and looking back and forth is really going to help if you have to like stop and take a photo in between like while you're doing it it really helps to um give you just that different perspective so you can kind of see how these hairs are going up I want to bring them down a little bit Okay so we've straightened this brow out a little bit and I kind of just want to like look back and forth and see this like arch up here is a little more defined on the other brow using a very light hand so I'm not going in with too much okay so I'm pretty happy with that they're not perfect but tlook much more even than tdid when we first started I want to quickly show you how I'm going to Contour my eyes I'm just going to use my Contour color this is Wayne Goss Radiance boosting face palette I'm just going to start off with my left eye and I'm going to go right into the crease all I'm going to do is just go right around the crease kind of Define that with this Contour color super light just a little something now for this side I want to add a little bit more so I'm going to pick up a little bit more product and I'm really going to focus that up a little higher because this area tends to come down a little bit further it's almost as if my um brow bone on this side comes out a little more and kind of pushes that skin so I want to cheat that this crease is a little more defined so I'm focusing it a little higher I'm going to blend it up a little more okay can you guys see that all right and then finally lips I'm going to
