New Vs. Old Contour Techniques l Christen Dominique 

Let me know which side is your kind of contour?!

I prefer the finished product of the older technique. I think it looks more youthful and lifted!!

I can't be the only one that likes the old side better?! Lol

I still prefer old technique for MY face shape. The skull contour is great for some and gives a mature look

Contouring and highlighting are literally the most fun steps in my makeup routine. It’s so fun to give yourself a different shape and structure every day.

I’ve been doing your new side for a long time and felt weird because it wasn’t the “proper” technique. Thank you for emphasizing that viewers should actually pick and choose for ourselves! 😊

This was so helpful! I’ve lost my hair due to chemotherapy and I’ve been looking for videos on how to give my face some shape since I no longer have hair to frame it. Thank you for not only showing where to place the contour, but leaving it on while you talk so I could study it. 🌹

I have very pale skin and the Fenty contour stick in "Amber" is the only one I've found so far that doesn't make my face look like it's just smeared with self-tanner.

This is SO INFORMATIVE! I feel like you are really TEACHING, rather than just showing how you do your makeup. Love this!

I love the little explanation texts on the side!!!! It was really helpful and informing ❤️❤️

For anyone who’s new or interested in learning a beautiful contour/bronzer technique, this is for you. ❤️❤️❤️ It’s true, you can get a contoured (& bronzed) effect using just a bronzer. However I’m a huge fan of using contour & bronzer together bcz the effect is so amazing. I’ve been doing this for a VERY long time & feel it’s worth trying. I actually use a cream contour 1st & then go in w/a powder bronzer after. This works on anyone at any age w/any skin type/color. Hear me out on this. To do this, it’s important to choose the RIGHT cool-toned contour shade for YOUR skin. For example, a very cool contour isn’t going to work on everyone bcz it may look like you’ve swiped dirt on your face if it’s TOO cool of an undertone. But it might be perfect for someone w/lighter skin & cool undertone. So finding the right contour shade (one that will create the appearance of a natural shadow) is key. Finding this can require some practice or patience - remember how tricky it was learning how to find a foundation match? We all found out the hard way that if your foundation is too pink (cool) or too yellow (warm) that it didn’t look good, & finding that correct undertone matters a lot. It’s the same w/finding that right contour shade too bcz if it’s too yellow it can look like a bronzer or even worse, it can look super orange & natural shadows aren’t orange lol. But if it’s too cool it can look gray or ashy on the skin & that can just look like you swiped dirt across your cheek & shadows do not look like dirt lol. Remember, contour isn’t to warm up the skin, we do that with bronzer, it’s strictly to enhance natural shadows & give dimension. So after applying cream contour, I lightly set it w/powder, that way when I go in w/bronzer, it won’t grab & create patchiness. Also, contouring is generally applied subtlety but giving noticeable effects, just like bronzing. When you put them together, the end result is beautiful. But after setting the cream contour, just apply bronzer as u normally would to warm up the complexion. You may find you don’t need to apply as much bronzer. You’ll see & figure it out. But I swear, this is a technique that’s SO WORTH TRYING bcz the outcome is ALWAYS so flattering & makes such a huge but yet still so very natural. ❤️❤️💜💜

Thank you for explaining all of this! I was raised by a mom who doesn’t wear makeup, so I have had to learn on my own! You explain all of this wonderfully.

Contouring my face is that one thing I ALWAYS do & have for 30+ yrs. I’m older (50 - yikes lol) so it really helps how I look. I’ve always loved a beautiful (but not overdone) contour. It’s adds so much dimension! Love this Christen❤️

I’ve always stayed away from contouring because I don’t understand the technique and have no idea how to do it but you explained it sooo WELL that now I’m looking forward to doing it. Thank you so much, many blessings 🙏🏻.

The old "3" contour technique, new eye, lip and nose contour technique, definitely new Highlighting technique is ma jam❤❤❤❤ Thanx so much for the in depth video❤❤

Old side is snatched!! Old side with new eye contour I bet would be stunning!! U r gorge either way!!

Honestly, I think your face already looks structured without the contour. You already look beautiful without makeup!

this was an excellent tutorial. As someone older, and clueless about contouring, I finally understand it. Very creative, Thanks for doing this!

Love this new contour technique. It's so much more natural. You are stunning and so incredibly talented. Thank you for sharing ❤️

Agree!! The old technique looks so much better and easier to do

Awesome video! Amazing tutorial! You did a fantastic job explaining each step and I am so very happy that you posted this video. I needed this to help me with contouring my makeup for my wedding next year. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

Christen I’m loving this series. I’ve learned new techniques and love learning.

I started contouring my oval face like the new way in the summer of 2019! So cool to see this be the "new" cheek sculpt. Much love Christen💖

I love the new technique and how you showed both to begin with so we could easily compare the results!

Omg!! I love them both!!! Thank you so much for being so patient teaching someone like me to play with makeup. Out of my comfort zone .

I love playing around with contour. This will be a great technique to try. Thank you!

I'm totally trying this new technique tomorrow because it's combining new tips with things I'm already doing ❤️

Loved this! The eye contour is a game changer!!! 💕

Love how in depth you go in these videos!! 😍😍😍

I love both sides !!! Your make up is always so flawless thank you for sharing!!!

This video was so helpful and educational for those of us that are beginners in the make up world. Gracias!

So so so thankful you showed how to blend!

The older side is perfect for me😍

Been waiting for more videos girl 💜 I know you're busy but you are so loved and we love seeing you! Thanks for all you do and for being such a kind, genuine person! Much love to you and your family! Love always, Kati 💜💜💜

I really love the way you share your make up techniques, thank you so much.

I have been waiting for this video for sooooo long 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Love both the contour looks on you. Will definitely try it ♥️

The most needed video! TYSM Christen💙

If you want some constructive criticism, here it is (and I write this with love). 1: No contour in your eye/nose corner! Especially, when your eyebrows are already so close set. 2: Cheekbone contour should follow the cheekbone. So not ON, but underneath (even though you want to lift). 3: On the new side, the last dot on your cheek that covers from mouth and down; scratch that. It makes the cheek saggy and old and the mouth angry. And I still think you are beautiful, no matter the makeup. Love and light from Denmark, Scandinavia ❤

the older contour method with the 3 shape made your face look slimmer.

I love how I slowly saw your face shape change. I've learned so much 😁

Clicked this super fast! I’m so glad I finally got alerted when you posted a new video! You’re so beautiful both inside & out! Love & hugs Christen! #domfam💪🏻 ♥️🥰😘

What an amazingly informative video. You look beautiful no matter what, but I do really like the new way of contouring on you. It makes your bone structure look incredible. Saving to my favorites. Thanks for wonderful content.

Left opposite of your new contour is what I prefer but awesome new technique ❤️

I think it’s perfectly alright to wear our makeup anyway we like & if we think a certain trend of makeup makes us look prettier then we should do it & ppl shouldn’t make negative comments! I love Christen’s techniques of applying makeup! She is beautiful with & without makeup! Some of us really need makeup for a beautiful appearance !!!♥️♥️♥️🙏🏻
