I've been doing a similar "new" placement for a little while (mine's even more straight up-and-down) and I'm SO much happier with how my eye looks turn out. My lids are quite hooded such that my crease ends below the outer corner of my eye, and "outer-v" placements never worked for me, but I can confirm that this new placement is VERY kind to hooded eyes.
I loved everything about this video from the technique and demonstration of the old and new. To the aesthetics and the transition with you moving about your day blurred in the background. Very beautiful thoughtful creation.
Everything about the “updated” look is much more of an Asian eyeshadow and mascara style. Nice to see the rest of the world catching on to such a lovely look. 😁
WOW…That was such an amazing and detailed tutorial. Thank you. I am 53 (almost 54), and I have definitely started to notice my eyes dragging at the corners. I’ve been stopping my eyeliner a few mm in from the outer edge, as you suggested, and it has helped a lot. I’m looking forward to trying the new shadow and mascara techniques, though, as it seemed to make a TREMENDOUS difference to your eye shape! (And you don’t even need to worry yet…ha ha.) Very well done! Subscribed!
I know that this isn't the focus of your video but I'd love to know what lip color you're wearing. I enjoyed seeing the comparison looks -- it made me realize that I could do with a bit of a refresh lol. Thank you!
One thing I like on the new side is that it makes the eyes look smaller, which I quite like as I have quite big eyes, and they look very makeup-y very quickly! I will be trying it!
That reminds me of the YTer that did the three stripe technique on the upper eye lid. Both sides are beautiful. I think I need to move away from bottom eyeliner as I think it’s making my eyes look rounded somehow. Thank you ❤
OMG - 76 yr old sub here - who has been doing that eye look (or at least my version of it!) for years! It makes the eye rounder, which is more youthful (IMHO) and is less harsh on an older face.So glad you're back doing vids - by far the best makeup artist ever, and I listen just to hear you say "here" which comes out as heeya!!
I always "clean up" with a little bit of ceancealer under the eye and go with a little bit of it next to the eyeliner (between upper eyelash and eyebrow) to lift the eye by taking away some eyeshadow that could potentially drag the eye down, it works fine for me, but will try your technique and see how I like it. Love your videos!! :)
Makeup style have changed so much over the years... Could you maybe do an updated wedding makeup look? I would love to see your take on it for inspiration ☺️
Both sides look really beautiful :) I‘m really not great at doing eyeshadow and I never know what to do about the inner corner but I will give this a try.
Karima, this eye shape is beautiful! I’ve been looking for some new techniques to get me excited about makeup again and something new for daytime. Thank you 🩵
Love this! I watched Marlena Stella's tutorial on something similar and have been trying look like this ever since! I find it more flattering and day time appropriate. I have also noticed that the older I get the more subtle look I like 🤗
Use nude eyeliner in the lower waterline but only in the center of the waterline! It makes your eyes look bigger and rounder in a more subtle way. I used to place the nude eyeliner on the entire waterline but it can look too stark if i overdo it
This video showed up for me at the perfect time because I've been doing my eye makeup the same for so many YEARS and I have been in the mood for a newer fresh looking technique! I've been experimenting but your new technique looks really pretty so I'm going to try it out thank you😊💜🌸
What an absolutely superb video. Editing 👏 music 👏 technique on new side 👏 clear instructions 👏 you totally nailed it. I’m sure this was a lot of work and it paid off 🎉 thanks for sharing this with us.
I have similar shaped eyes and the “new” side is exactly what I do it’s kinda like a backwards 7 or upside down L rather than the whole outer V. I’ve never been happy with my lower lash line, I absolutely LOVE❤❤❤ your take on less and not going as dark it looks much fresher and flows so well…. OMG the glowish powder tip at the end is stellar, YES! It’s like you know me!!❤
Wow, I’ve been trying to follow tutorials for years that carry shadow and eyeliner past the end of my eye for that swoopy big eyed look and always wondered why my eyes always just looked droopy. Never again. This is so much better for me!
Hi Karima! ❤ the video! Would you mind sharing your current setup? Camera/stand/lights I’m thinking of starting a YT channel, and I love the look of your videos.❤️ Lisa Eldridge and you are my favs!
I've always found your 'new' technique more flattering on me. If I get too much shadow on the outer edges I use my concealer brush (with tiny bit of left over concealer) to remove the shadow that has gone past my eye, kind of how you placed the finishing powder.
Loved all these tips and so happy to see your videos back ❤ After your last video I tried this on a whim - adding a slightly luminous nude liner (using the 19/99 one currently) on my inner corners where I've started to lose some volume and get slightly blue. Really helps brighten the whole eye area!
I still prefer the old technique, just because the new one tends to make the yes smaller, and that’s not what I need. But both look stunning on your eye shape.
No discredit to your makeup and artistic skills, but my god has your editing been soooo fire lately! I love watching your videos and trying to guess how many hours you’re poured into them😅 xo ❤❤❤❤ so, so anazing!
Those hourglass liners don’t get talked about enough. I buy the dark brown one all the time. I can highly recommend it. It doesn’t have the warm brown tone that Nars one does. I love how soft and easy to apply the hourglass formula is 🥰
Oh my gosh! Brilliant as always but I cannot wait to try this. I’ve always struggled with my eyes watering out of my outer corners and I just kept slapping eye makeup on there anyway 😂 thank you for sharing!! I’m ready for my new side era ❤
It must just be where the trends have been going and everyone hopping ship because your cream eyeshadow (just on the ball of the lid and a little above the crease and on the center of the lower lid, specifically) and mascara technique are what i've been doing for the last year. I pretty much entirely stopped wearing makeup during the pandemic and honestly haven't really started back up again* but when i want to dress up those are the only two things i wear on my eye. *i will never stop watching this channel though! you were already the only makeup channel i was still following by 2019 and i will watch this until you delete it haha
Love how she barely makes videos anymore, and when she does she's so far away from the camera, or it's her looking into a mirror. What happened to the quality here?
I’ve got hooded, down turned eyes and it’s a difficult situation 😅. I have to use my lower lash line as a guide for liner and eyeshadow placement given how hooded my eyes are. I go for a halo eye much more often and I never forget to curl my lashes. Layering and slightly blending has always worked better as a technique vs blending extensively.
