I am a white woman, goth aswell so my skin is constantly painted white so I am far from your target demographic, but I love watching your videos, your personality is so radiant
@@OhemaaThey make white foundations now, MAC has liquid & powder, Manic Panic makes a cheaper powder one. Back in the day, goths used stage makeup like clown grease paint, pan sticks or Kryolan TV Paint Stick. Kryolan is still popular but it's basically drag at that point, so the foundations are better for your skin for daily wear.
@@Ohemaa yep! goth people often paint their face white. like stark white. they do this to give a ghostly or sickly appearance, often contouring with grey tones. if you think about it, it makes sense for goth people and the subculture
@@Ohemaa I’m another goth! A lot of us use pure white foundations. There’s a good one from manic panic, as well as LA Girl. Though, in the 80s when goth really started, it would’ve probably been done with grease paints.
So the reason it almost looks like bronzer is because gray in dark contours looks weird when it come to formulas. So they make it slightly purple because it gives more of a neutral contour so it works well with your contour powders and bronzers😊
glad they have a shade for you! however, they completely left out a huge number of ppl. the second darkest color is for someone with jlo's complexion and most black women are left out.
There is ONLY 4 shades. While it would be great to have a “perfect shade” -with only 4 in a collection I think it’s safe to say they’re meant to be mixed.
It's looking great, I'm a pale girl myself and I'm glad they're FINALLY doing very dark shades. Brands like Juvias Place, Beauty Bakerie ect are very good, they do shades for a vast range of skin tones, if they can do it, so can the huge companies
I hope they keep making products like this cause your skin tone is SOOO utterly gorgeous! It's so beautiful to see women with such stunning dark skin being able to make the most of it, rather than having to make it lighter to actually be able to contour. You look fantastic
@@khxliakhxlia3605 Unrealistic & unnecessary. So here's what needs to been factored in....sales, formulation that sticks to the integrity of the brand and performance of that formulation. People say there should be another color but how many will actually buy it? You have to build a demand. That's why they were able to go this long with only 2 bronzer colors (that now have 5). Milk is good to discontinue a product if the sales aren't up enough which is smart practice so they don't go bankrupt. Most consumers buy something once then hop to another brand with a similar product so they need that retention of that product to be high enough to expand. So anyways...like I said 2 colors on between the last two would be unrealistic.
I don’t have dark skin but I’ve found it has been just as hard for me to find a correct foundation. I have very pale olive toned skin, so 99% of foundations are too pink, too yellow or too orange for me. even neutral foundations looked too pink or orange on me. I FINALLY found a matching one from Fenty after years of testing to no avail. so much money wasted lol.
Girl. Same. I'm not olive toned. I'm...I don't even know.... I'm more in the neutral area. My issue is the lightest shades are TOO pale, pink or yellow, then I try going up in shaded and to yellow or ORANGE! I usually end up getting a neutral shade that's a bit too dark and mix in a light, cool shade.
@@hz-gv6fk it might not be that the color is really pink but it just looks that way on a skin that isn’t. i have the same problem with every brand but that’s bc i have olive undertones too
I love the depth of it, it’s about time MM launched deeper shades. I use their Matte Bronzer stick in “blaze” but they’ve only ever cared to have 2 shades. 2020 helped to change the game.
To be fair you want it to disappear. It gave you depth in the first swipe when you blended it. If you can still see it as a noticeable darker color then it’s not all the way blended. The natural shadows on your face aren’t standing out like a dark swipe on your cheek they blend seamlessly into the lighter areas. Also, when you sucked in your cheeks you could see the shadow , it’s just not back below your cheekbone, it’s closer to your mouth in line with your nose. You can’t actually suck in the skin all the way back.
I may be white, but i am considering buying from this brand because of their diversity :] ( though i think they ned at least three more shades in between the two darkest colors) I try to be very conscious about shopping from diverse brands,so i really loved your review! also you are one of the beautiful people i have ever laid eyes on
If you have cool undertones like me, Milk is a god-send. They are so good for super pale people and very dark ppl. One of the only brands that works for me.
@@londoneli467 Thank you for the tip! im never sure about how makeup will look on me as i can be super pale one day and have lots of color the next, but milk does seem to work!
Agreed. I buy from Juvias all the time ever tho I'm about 3 shades lighter than a piece of paper. I want to support women, indie companies, and those who make shades for everyone.
I shop brands that make good products that work for me. I can’t imagine buying from a company because of diversity. There is a product for everyone out there one just needs to look. You are right about how beautiful this woman is. Just stunning and her glow is enviable!
My skin is too light for most every foundation, I literally gave up on finding one for a number of years. Now there are two shades that JUST match my tone enough, buuut i've found i'm so happy not wearing makeup all the time so yeah a bit late😂 I'm so glad brands are being more inclusive, it feels so good to have options.
I have the same issue and found things that work for me from Laura Mercier. I didn't want to spend that much, but less expensive brands just didn't work and I was sick of trying and wasting money. Colourpop's tinted moisturizer works too, but the coverage is very light and depending on what you want, that might not work for you.
You are glowing!! So nice to see yourself represented because even if you can find it in an indie brand, it makes you feel like you’re not regular - like you don’t belong. I get it a little bit as a redhead because I really struggle to find products that match my pinky skin tone and my red eyebrows
I think that they are testing the waters to see how well it could be for black men and women as well as the formula before expanding the line. I think it's a smart business idea for the reviews to come out before the variants are released on the darker end of the spectrum as they have been vastly not represented where as stick contours released ABH have been 20 shades of white. I do agree with you that it does look like more of a bronzer than a contour on you but they're evolving with an finish line in mind to outdo mainstream brands (about freaking time right). I definitely think it looks gorgeous on you and if I have to guess, they already have more colors in production and ready to release by sometime in the summer if not Fall. Yes the shades can be mixed but you shouldn't have to at $24 a stick.
It did give bronzer until you powdered down. Gorgeous either way though, cause you definitely slayed it. Seems brands either go red or green for deep tones
oh when i saw the shade stroke i was really excited. Then you did the next shade and i deflated like a balloon. The Sizzle is too dark for me. The next shade is my skin colour. There are about 2-3 shades missing i between. 😢
I was gifted the shade toasted and it was a shade too light for me. This feels like they were testing out the waters with the product, but their lack of shades is going to leave a sour taste in my mouth
I’m glad that they are making this for you ladies, I remember trying to buy makeup in the 90s and everything was just orange, it was not a good look. When I finally found one that matched I was so happy.
That suck you cheeks in to figure out the right contouring tone is interesting and explains so much. I have no clue how I ended up here because I have very fair Asian skin but I tried quite a few contouring shades and they never quite fit...now I know why. They were all too dark but not olive enough. Sigh. Okay...at least now I know what to look for.
I think it's the warm undertone in the contour that makes it look more like bronzer? I like milk but ny face is oily af so we don't hang out a lot 🤣🤣. Great video as always 💛💛💛
I am so light that I turn invisible when standing in front of a white wall and I love watching your reviews and trying to support brands that you say have actually deeeeep shades. What I find super sad is that in Switzerland most physical stores (online is different) only have a shade range til max mid-brown (if you're lucky) as if black people don't exist here. Which is bullshit. There are people of every skin color living in Switzerland. (Woops, sorry for the rant)
You are so beautiful without makeup on!! You really don’t need any!! You’re beautiful with it on too of course and you are very talented too but I just have to say you have great skin there is like no need for any of it!
You have the most gorgeous skin! Your color is beautiful without any make up. I think your concealer shade is a touch light. Your dark is so beautiful. Don’t lighten it! Wear dark rich cool blues and silvers in clothing to brighten you without lightening you. You are stunning.
I just picked up the Milk contour last Friday and used it today...this rocks for us dark-skinned girls. However, the only flaw I have is the packaging. I also purchased the blush and when taking off the plastic lid, a lot of the product came off in the lid. The same thing happened when I went to use the contour this morning. I am still able to use it, but it's just annoying that this has now happened twice. Again, I love the contour since it works so well with my skin tone, thanks Milk!
ummm how about we stop releasing straight up black colour as "contour" or "bronzer" or whatever and not assume that black people want to look "sun-kissed" like everybody else cause guess what! They are already sun-kissed. So how about the beauty industry stop putting black women in the same beauty normative structure assuming that whatever white and light skinned women want is what black skin women want too. Real inclusivity would be producing products that highlight the beauty of dark skin, make it glow from within, healthy, less ashy. Products designed for black skin.. I don't know. Cause here looking at you, you don't need this product. Like it's so stupid. Literally doesn't do anything other than make the corners of your face pitch black.
Gurll you are stunninnnn ✨ You should definitely try to find a shade lighter than that dark one. Definitely believe that would be your perfect contour shade to look effortlessly snatched 🤌
contour looks so good on your skin! I am pale AF, whatever contour I put on myself in real life it looks super obvious and dirty. Contour is made for dark women
Wow! This contour looks great on you! My hairdresser is from Sudan and she also liked it very much! Her skin tone is more on the cooler side tho, but she also said that it’s cool that it’s buildable. You’ve mentioned, that it can serve as a bronzer, so I liked that you can play with it and now I’m thinking about checking Milk for myself. I can’t find a concealer for my stupid tone, I’m white as a chalk, and the only foundation that suits me is Dior in tone 0N, and there’s no concealer lighter than that that wouldn’t make me gray. Eww. I also started ordering from the company directly, because I feel so uncomfortable, when I ask for 0N in a big store, women often laugh and say: “Don’t you know, that 0 means 0 colour? Are you transparent as a jellyfish?” 😢
okayy bc why is milk coming for everyone? it looks tooo good. the only thing was that if its marketed as a contour, i feel like it should be matte?? bc glowing is gonna reflect the light, so it does just look bronzed , but with the powder it looks SOO good
I am so happy to see companies are finally making products you can use. It does feel a bit warmer or neutral and I like a really neutral to cool tone contour mixed with a little bronzer. So for me if I had this makeup brand I would probably add something more cool toned so it is more of a true shadow contour and also have a warmer bronzing one. It is just insane to me how companies will just not make products to include all shades. Do they not want to make money?!? Just make less units of the shades that are on less people. I would want everyone included but maybe that is because I am mixed American/Brazilian…
@@Ohemaa hopefully they watch and listen! I think everyone should get to look the way they want and we all deserve to have access to the colors we want to express ourselves the way we want. Sending you love beautiful!
Your so beautiful and I'm so glad that black woman/men can actually find some nice colored contourbut I think more makeup brands need to come out with some more
Its about damn time! Ur skin is so gorgeous 😍 you don't even need makeup (i kinda hate when ppl say that because not everyone wears makeup bcuz they NEED to but because we WANT to... but you really are that beauiful.. your skin look flawless) And I'm really happy you are helping people find more inclusive brands!!
Your skin and tone of it is so gorgious! It is great, that you found the right contour for you, but you even dont need any make up. I'm white as milk with freckles and is always fascinating to watch your videos 😊
Looks good, but I'm gonna stick with my brown lipsticks to contour.I don't love contour enough to spend £20 but I adore bronzer. My best friend is dark skin, and she uses black lipstick to contour.
Also with very deep tones you focus on brightening strategically to contour and with lighter tones you deepen. It's like drawing on white paper with a dark pencil or in black paper with a light pencil. Same concept.
Hola, he notado que en rostros de tez oscura, generalmente, tienen un contorno más profundo alrededor de la línea del cabello; no es tu caso, pero para las chicas que sí, ¿Qué les recomiendas?
Even though it was most definitely more visible when you put the contour on the second time (with other makeup) it still made a (small, but visible) difference without other makeup :)
I am fairly pale especially if I avoid sun but do have more of an olive tone so if I do go out in the sun I brown without ever getting red. I usually dont wear makeup especially foundation as it has like a texture thing for me I dont like. But when I recently went to go find something with light coverage for when I do feel like doing the thing I had so many damn options I left without anything. Like there were at least 4 hardly even different shades in every collection and brand and up to like 12. I was spoiled for choice. So much so that I couldnt choose. And its a shame that I have up to 12 options that could work for me and youll have to go all indie to get something that might work and even then its like a choice of 2...ugh
