SHOW SUMMARY: Quickly jump to the answer you want
1:30 How can you let your authentic beauty shine? 
3:01 How do we use make up to reduce distractions and enhance our attraction? 
4:07 What are distractions? Distractions are anything that someone notices before they notice you (e.g.- reddish or dark coloring on our face). Also, see heart of face. 
5:25 How did Chris Scott codify and come up with his design principles? 
5:52 What is the Heart of your Face?  It's not about having a heart-shaped face, but focussing the main attraction on anyone's face, which are the eyes and lips. The key is to illuminate or spotlight a person's face.
8:36  What are correctors?  How are they different than concealers? Correctors neutralize the skins's imperfections, like dark circles or reddish spots on a face.  What correctors are best for certain pigmentations: light to light medium (pink and green) and medium and darker (yellow and orange).  Correctors help create a vaulted look on a face by directing and reflecting light and attention toward the heart of the face and upward.

14:57 What is make up used for?  Why you need 2 mirrors to make sure you have authentic beauty? 
16:30 How is Chris's approach different than cosmetic make up approaches?  One approach is to showcase makeup for artistry and make up sake. 
18:19 What do you want people to focus on when you are talking to them?  Do you want your friend, or prospective client focus on your eyeshadow, lipstick, or you? 
19:59 How does one align with their inner and outer self? Chris's patent pending technique focuses on working with understanding your anatomy.  
22:14 What are the different styles of make up:  natural make up, balanced make up, and dramatic make up? To understand color intensity we want colors on  your lips to be in sync with your hair and eye color. When the color intensity is all in sync we don't notice the make up, we notice a person's face. 
24:21What is a trend look?  A trend look is when you make someone notice one part of your make up more than anything else : cat eye, red lips, rosy cheeks. 
25:06 To create the different looks is not about the amount of make up you use, but the intensity of the colors that create different looks.
25:36 BEST TIP EVER  for finding the right  lipstick colors? and 29:47
26:45 How do you pick the best colors for you?  Your lifestyle, clothing choices  are all help you pick the right colors.  For example, if you like to wear colors that have a cool undertone, then you will want to find a lipstick that has a cool undertone. 
29:51 What is contouring? Countouring mimics the effect of having a shadow on your face.  The heart of your face is lit up by using correctors. The heart of the face helps you figure out where to put boundaries of your contouring. The crest is where the shadow falls. ou want the contour to go from side of face to the edge of your mouth.  The counter is darkest from outside and above and diminishes toward your mouth
33:14 Why should you use straight lines versus curved lines when applying make up? Our face is 3 dimensional so a straight line on a curved surface will maximize the energy on your face.
35:29  How do you remove those dark circles around your eyes using corrector?Use corrector to move light upward and outward by creating straight lines to direct energy.  Chris describes how most of the neutralizing is with corrector.  The ratio is 80% corrector and 20% foundation. 
39:29 Should you use fingers or brushes to apply foundation? Foundation is needed to go on top of the corrector.  A foundation brush makes sure that the light is spread evenly and brushed in the same direction.
