- As extra as this looks, you're literally gonna do this.
- Ooh, feels good!
(laughs) - I'm telling you,
I been telling, this is therapy for us!
(swish and creaking)
(smooth music)
I'm Jackie Aina, and I'm a beauty vlogger.
I'm pretty much like, the contour queen.
Today I hope that everyone walks away feeling like,
"I can do this!"
It's not as intimidating
as a lot of people I think may assume it is.
(cheerful music)
Welcome to contour boot camp!
Are you ready?
- Yes ma'am.
- I promise I'm gonna lead.
- I don't wanna go overboard, like it's too much.
- My face is doughy, I would like some definition.
- I don't really know what I'm doing,
I think I'm just covering my face in more foundation.
- Well, there's a couple ways we can approach this.
- Okay.
- You can either contour with cream products,
or you can contour with powder.
And you already have great cheekbones, by the way.
So you already have a good canvas.
- Okay.
- So...
- So that means I don't have to work too hard.
(laughing) That's kinda like, my thing,
is not working hard. - Oh, how lucky you are!
You already got the nice face.
- I usually like to go for a cream
when I want more of a standout look.
Powder's a little bit softer.
What I want you to do,
I'm gonna do it for you on one side, okay?
- Okay.
- And to make this super easy, I'm gonna draw...
Tilt your face that way.
I'm going to follow just below
where your cheekbone already is.
And right there, right at the tip of your ear,
that's how you,
that's where... - Oh!
- What you're gonna do is very softly, little tiny dots.
Cause some people like to do the line,
but honestly, I feel like that's harder to blend out.
So my technique, my little trick
is I do kind of tiny, tiny dots.
Now, notice how I'm following your cheekbones.
And notice how I also pulled back
the closer I got to the center of your face.
- Okay. - That's how you prevent
that muddiness.
- Oh! - It's not just one go.
No, you wanna pull back a little bit.
I'm noticing that this one's a little bit too close
to your skin tone.
- Okay.
- We're gonna have to use powder.
- Do you go darker, or...
- You always wanna go darker.
- Okay.
- Because contouring is creating shadows.
Okay so, look how little product that is.
- Yeah, that's not a lot.
- That's gonna be super easy to cheat.
Whenever you're adding or taking away a product,
start back here.
Because then, it's gonna look not as blotchy.
- Yeah.
- And then you can blend outward just by tapping.
When you tap, you're building up product.
- Okay.
- When you're swiping, you're taking it off.
Oh yeah!
You are red carpet ready, girl!
(laughs)
- There's cheekbones there.
- There's some cheekbones!
- Oh my God, there is a cheekbone.
Wait, I've never seen this before.
(Jackie laughs)
- But even that is a good,
it's not a ton of powder, but that's a good start.
- Woah!
(Jackie laughs) I mean, you haven't
even done anything yet,
and it's still like, I could see what you're doing.
- Girl see, I'm settin' you up
for success already! - Yes you are!
- Remember the little dots, remember the principles.
We're gonna do surgery now,
just a little bit of surgery. - Okay please, fix it.
I was like, "I look like I have a scar on my face."
- Our cheekbone has temporarily dislocated.
(laughing)
We're gonna put it back in place.
It's a very simple procedure. - What did you do?
- So this is gonna give us more sculpt,
more take me serious, more...
- Cut you with my jawline.
- Exactly.
- Okay.
- So, I'm gonna put dots around there too.
Literally, right where your neck and where your jaw meet.
You're in there, you're doin' it.
- Oh yeah.
- It looks good!
And then go along your forehead area,
and you wanna do the same thing, except in smaller strokes.
So when you do the forehead, - Okay.
Oh wow! - you're gonna move this way.
You're always working
towards the center. - Jackie,
why aren't you my mom?
- I didn't even have to watch, she went in!
(laughing)
- Try to have a little bit
of confidence in myself eventually.
- Takin' initiative.
You can blend a teensy bit,
just a little bit more. - Just right here?
- Yeah.
You don't wanna see no harsh lines.
- Okay. - Harsh lines are not welcome
in this household.
(laughing) - And should I be blending
the edges, or just blending right in the middle?
- Blending all of it.
- Facial definition, who knew? (laughing)
Start at the corner of your ear,
not the bottom of your face.
(laughing)
(upbeat music)
- Did you overestimate how hard it was?
- Yes.
- I think I did. - Yeah?
- Definitely.
- You did good.
(laughs) - You look amazing.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
You guys both look so,
I feel like a prowess.
- Yes!
- I feel better about it now,
I feel a lot better about it. - Oh, well good!
- I see it, I see it on your face.
- I see your, (laughs)
you got little apples. - That Janet.
- It's so cute! - It's there.
- So simple, something I could do every day.
- Yeah, I agree.
I feel like I came in here, and I was like
"I'm not gonna pick up anything extra."
I'll learn, but I'm not gonna implement this.
And I was totally wrong.
- Yeah, I'm gonna go to the grocery store tomorrow,
and I'm gonna wear contour.
- You better slay!
- Pick up some linguine,
it's gonna be a party in the pasta aisle.
- The good news was you didn't look bad,
you just learned some improvements!
Some enhancements! - Yes, absolutely.
- I mean, can I get a amen?
- [Ladies] Amen!
- Thank you. - Bless you, Queen Jackie.
- Yes, thank you! - I got you,
that's what I'm here for.
I hope you guys had fun, and learned some new tips,
and this was so much fun! - Absolutely.
Transformational. - So much fun!
- Yeah.
- Simple tips that are
very helpful. - We change lives.
We don't just do makeup, we change lives, okay?
