I am transforming into Gamora from Guardians of the Galaxy, alright?
So I need an action figure getup.
So my girl Inez--love you, Inez--she's a designer, and she's going to give me... the superhero costume.
Let's get it and meet her!
INEZ: You helped him out. Hi! Oh my God, I missed you!
This is all the work that goes into a transformation!
INEZ: Because we love it so much. MAYA: Cafes and catch up.
Thank you! INEZ: No, thank you!
That one works. It's very fashiony and it's $6.
It kind of fits. It's hard.
Hi, how are you?
So this one is LA girl.
This one bleeds better.
I will be curling a synthetic wig.
Okay, so this is from Hair Wig Harlem. Because it isn't ombre, I had to go out and buy this.
But before I do that, I want to deal with this.
When you're curling syntheric hair, cool down is important. So I'm just going to take some water and wet the hair.
Comb it out.
Take my NUME Curling Wand.
You can see the smoke going.
You just want to hold the curl until it cools. See, there we go.
First, you want to start with a clean face. Then you want to--
[singing] Prime time, for our love Ain't nobody thinking 'bout the stars above
Do y'all know about the Janelle Monae?
The primer, what it does is keep the makeup on your face. So I'm actually going to set that with this powder by NARS.
My skin is just super greasy; I have to do this.
Now, you can use a sponge. That takes really long. So I'm going to use my fingers. And I'm going to first start off with this Ben Nye 'Clown White'.
I almost forgot! Eyebrows. The important part, hello! And you guys know I love my Elmer's glue stick.
What is your favorite superhero, guys?
And the white is acting as a base. It's going to allow the green to be that much more intense.
I like to use 3 layers of glue to ensure complete brow coverage. and make sure you allow the glue to dry completely.
I have 2 greens. It's a light green and a dark green.
Done! I'm just going to smooth this on like lotion.
Look at that! My face is very green.
I'm not feeling too well.
Okay, so I'm going to contour with this NYX eyeshadow in 'Kush.'
I'm trying to make my face skinnier. Zoe Saldana's face isn't as broad as mine.
Okay, so the same color that I contoured with, 'Kush'... Yes, God!
So you're just going to take the Kush and work it over your entire eyelid. And then you're also going to bring it up the last third of your eyebrow and up,
to give it a very fierce look. You know what I'm saying?
And then we're going to do what I love best, which is snatch up that nose.
When in doubt, blend, trick, blend!
Okay, so for the lower liner, I'm using a deep navy blue eyeshadow from my favorite, cheap, $5 eyeshadow palette.
And with that I'm just winging it out to create an extra fierce cat eye effect.
For my waterline, I'm using a black liner by Urban Decay, and you have to line both the bottom and the top waterline with that.
Then I'm going to use this brand new gel liner collection from sigma in black.
So links for anything I'm using, information, names, description box.
Yo, Gamora's going on a date, yo!
These are Social Eyes. Thank you SaturdayNightsalrite. 'Polished'.
Now, some mascara.
And I forgot to film, but use the same white cream by Ben Nye to create those veins on your forehead that Gamora sports.
And this is Gamora's date night look with Peter Quill, AKA Mr. Star Lord!
Just clean it up.
Okay, so I'm just going to use the darker concealer.
Take a real good look.
I'm Gamora. Actually, my name is Maya --AKA Shameless Maya -- and THANK YOU for tuning in!

Fairly straight forward until you add the fog machine.
You see what I'm saying? Then you add the fan! Then you put it in slow motion!
Slow motion for me!
