- This is Nikkita.
- And this is Liz.
- And we are just doing our best.
(hands clapping)
(upbeat guitar music)
We just wanna start off by acknowledging that um,
yes, we are wearing the same shirt, pretty much.
- So today, we're doing the siren eye makeup trend.
- You've seen it all over your feed.
It's called siren eyes
because it's supposed to be a little bit sexy,
a little bit smouldering.
Everybody does a wing liner.
The difference with the siren eye
is that you do a little bit of an inner corner detailing
to kinda make it pointy on the inner corner,
pointy on the outer corner,
and just really angles, all angles.
We're not experts.
We don't know anything.
I don't feel like we're necessary...
I'm not an expert at doing my own makeup.
- You are a makeup artist.
- Yeah, but- - You do bring it up,
but that's fine. - But I don't feel
like I'm an expert.
The key to this is a really, really good angled liner brush.
Not too big, not too small,
but to be honest, anything you've got will do.
- Hmm.
- Are you mocking me?
- Mm-hm.
- We're gonna do a bit of a neutral eyeshadow
just really quick. - [Woman] She's excited.
- She is excited.
We're sta- - Look at that!
Are you kidding?
- Yeah, stunning.
So these are two Huda Beauty eyeshadow palettes.
We're so excited that Huda Beauty has launched at the door.
- Yeee!
- This is the New Nude eyeshadow palette.
- [Nikkita] Mine is called Rose Quartz.
- I'm just taking this beautiful eyeshadow
in the shade Teddy,
and I'm just gonna take it through my crease.
This is not the point of the video.
So we're going for efficiency.
- Mine is Gratitude from the palette I just showed.
I've heard some makeup artists
use the term windscreen wiper motions.
Um, so I'm just doing what I hope they mean
when they say it.
- You look nice. - No,
not the sympathetic you look nice.
- You do look nice.
- Oh, thank you.
- You wanna use a matte brown or black eyeshadow,
preferably a little bit dark,
but you basically wanna find the end of your eye.
And instead of going kind of up,
you wanna go a little bit more out,
kinda towards where your eyebrow ends.
(light music)
Look, the angled brush will do a lot of the work for you.
- I've only done one eye and I think it's legit.
Is it legit?
- So instead of using-
- Ooh! - ...the flat-
(both laughing)
I just noticed,
'cause you're coating both sides of your brush,
you literally just wanna go straight down
into the eyeshadow.
'Cause you just trying to get the-
- Oh, that went so thick.
- 'Cause you're just trying to get the tip,
like the flat end at the top. - Okay.
- And in that way, that can kind of guide--
- Should I wipe this off?
- So basically, you should end up with similar to this,
two kind of angled lines.
All you're gonna do is connect that line you made
(light music)
to
your eyelid, basically.
(light music)
You're just gonna literally use your brush
and stamp eyeshadow along your lash line.
(light music)
- Is that even good?
- Yeah. - Thank you.
- See, you're just gonna have a little bit of faith.
I told you it's not actually a hard look.
If anyone's watched my "What's in my Makeup Bag" video,
- Um, I put my concea- - I actually have.
- Did you, actually? - Yeah.
- Oh thanks, friend.
- And all the pop-ups that Maddy had to do.
- Shout out to Maddy.
You don't need to bring the eyeshadow
in all the way into your inner corner.
I'd only bring it to about halfway,
like halfway through your eyelid.
- Um, I hate mine (laughs).
I hate mine (laughs).
- Show me.
- I hate it.
(both laughing)
- [Woman] She was confident with it like a minute ago.
- She literally.
Roll back the clip to where she's being like,
"oh my God, I love it."
- Is that even good?
Can you fix it Liz?
- Okay, I wanted to cry when my hair was messed up
in that last video, but I didn't.
- I'm such a slo- - Look, just have a tissue.
- Thank you.
It's so hard.
My eyes are different shapes.
- Close your eyes.
(light music)
A little life hack,
you've made a mistake,
you don't know how to fix it,
take a Q-tip.
I really like these whispers ones actually,
I carry these in my kit, 'cause they've got a pointed end.
Get a little bit of like Micellar water.
Use that,
(light music)
to sharpen up the edge.
So I've made this one a little bit shorter.
Cause I think that that's gonna flatter
Nikkita's eye a little bit more.
And then to make this one match again.
For the wing you want to hold and flick,
like I said the brush will do the majority
of the work for you because it's angled.
That's why we're using an angled brush.
Then when you are connecting the wing to the eyelid
that's when you start to stamp.
So, and then the bit that kind of makes it a siren eye
and not just like a shadow wing liner is the inner corner.
- So I have these folds in my eyes
which are common with lots of people of Asian heritage.
- You're gonna do it with your eyes open,
looking straight into the mirror.
And you're just gonna go straight over those folds.
The aim is to follow the natural downward slope
of your upper eyelid.
That's the natural angle of my eye.
Like I've lined my brush up to the shape of my eye.
- Mm-hm. - And then I'm literally
(light music)
just gonna do that same like swi...
like swishing motion almost.
And what you end up with is like a pointy kind of extension
of your inner eye.
Once you've done it a couple of times,
like this wouldn't even take me two minutes in the morning.
You can finish it off, you don't have to.
Putting a little bit on the bottom lash line.
Not bringing it too far in.
That's her.
I might put on a little bit of mascara.
I think we'll put on a little bit of mascara.
(light music)
Look, she loves it now.
- After you did all the work for me, I realised it was nice.
(all laughing)
You can't curl an eyelash,
it goes straight down. - This is,
the BADgal BANG! in waterproof,
um, mostly because we didn't have the regular version.
I feel like I'm supposed to look like sexy
but I don't know how to do that.
Like I'm supposed to be like.
(upbeat guitar music)
- [Woman] You have to look sexy.
(Nikkita chuckles)
- Are we models?
I think you should try it.
Like any makeup look,
are you gonna nail it the first time you do it?
Probably not, but it's really easy.
You've probably got everything that you need at home.
Worst case scenario, keep some Q-tips
and some Micell water on hand.
You'll be sweet.
Thanks so much for watching, you guys.
Um, we love filming these videos.
