- Do you want a pillow?
- Should I ?
She's that model height,
I'm like Humprey height.
- Hi, everyone.
Welcome back to another episode of.
What's in my Makeup Bag?
Today, I'm joined by the lovely Sadaf.
- Hello.
- So Sadaf is part of our marketing team.
She's a beauty writer and content producer.
And your skin is always like (imitates bopping) glowing.
- Is it?
Ah, thank you. - Yeah.
- Just like yours.
- Ah. (chuckles)
Stop.
- You made me cull this before we started.
- Yeah, I did.
She had like an overflowing thing and I was like,
"Nah, you gotta think.
I've just called you up."
I'm like, "We gotta go to Europe in one hour.
What are you packing?
You have to pack light."
- If I'm on a holiday,
no matter where I am,
I can't forget sunscreen.
- Obviously.
- So usually I use the Anthelios La Roche-Posay,
which is the chemical one,
but at the moment I have a physical one.
- Yep.
- Doesn't matter, they both, yep.
- Protect the skin, yep. - Exactly.
I am a primer girl.
- Yeah.
- I know this is a controversial topic.
- No, it's not.
- 'Cause some people find primer like a waste of time.
Before I was using primer,
my makeup was always slipping off
- Yes. and I am a bit of a oily gal.
I'm combo.
So oily T-zone.
But primer changed my life. - Yeah.
And at the moment I'm loving it's,
you can see it's like,
really had it in my bag.
- She's well loved. - Yeah.
(laughing)
- The MAKE UP FOREVER Dullness Eraser.
- So this is yellow.
So what does this actually for your skin tone?
- It comes out yellow as you'll see.
It's doesn't dry down dewy.
It just takes away the,
lifts the dullness from the skin.
Especially in the winter it's good because,
see how it just-
- I think it gets rid of ashy tones.
- Yes.
- Because it's that nice yellowness.
- And I get ashy tones like around here.
Under my eyes I have dark circles.
So it's good just to even out your base
before you like...
- I love that.
- When I actually road tested this for an article
my makeup lasted all day.
So you made me cull my foundations.
- She had four.
(laughs) We're down to two now.
- So the Eye of Horus,
it does deliver like a very luminous finish.
I just love it everywhere.
- Ah, okay.
- See how like beautiful
- It's actually a cool tinted serum.
- A tinted is really good.
- That's a perfect...
- Description. - What's the word?
- Yeah. - Perfect description of it.
This is really nice though.
- It's so nice.
- And I wanna buy this.
- Like if I was on holiday,
daytime go to,
I just wanna look like fresh, dewy.
You know what I mean?
- And you're in shade golden.
- But at night if we're going to a nice dinner
and I want some more coverage,
- Might get a pic for the gramme.
- Yes. - Yep, yep.
- Is the Clinique Even Better Clinical Serum Foundation.
- Oh, this is like a little egg.
Really cute. - Yeah.
- I'm not gonna swatch this one
'cause it's be like coverage.
- And oh, I forget to mention this before for prep,
but I was recently talking to one of our AV staffer
on the merchi team.
And I was like, "You're skin looks so dewy.
What are you wearing today?"
And she said, "MAC Strobe Cream".
And this is something I used back in the day.
Such a cult product.
- It a moment. Didn't it?
- It had a moment
and I forgot about it
and I'm so happy it came back into my life.
- Yes.
It's so good.
- Yeah, this is a little sample.
But I'm so happy this landed on my desk
and it just delivers, again,
that extra dew on top of your primer.
And would you say it just makes your foundation sit
a little bit more dewy and?
- Makes you look plump.
- Ah, Pink Light.
- Ah, Pink Light. - Yeah.
- So there's different,
I guess like undertones of the Strobe Cream.
- I'd be keen to try the golden one.
- Yeah, that would stunning on your skin.
You can apply this jus to the high points
or all over your face.
Even without foundation I would say.
- Oh, really?
And then again, 'cause I can't get enough of the dew.
- Wait, how did we get a third foundation in there?
(chuckles)
So she had five to begin with
and we must of culled two.
Okay, yup.
- Well this is technically
an illuminator. - Oh, is this not a found-
Oh this is a shimmer.
- All right, it's an illuminator.
- But it's so accurate, what you just said.
- Another makeup,
Aushes actually gave me this,
because I was using like an illuminator
that was really wall
and too gleamy. - Too much.
- And she was like, "Calm down, hun."
She was like,
"Get the Nude by Nature Soft Focus Illuminator."
- I wanna swatch this. - Please do.
- Oh. - Nice, right?
- This is very lovely.
Very buttery.
- Buttery.
And I just go down here
and then gently pat some there.
- That's really stunning.
- Yeah. - I like it.
- So do you put this on before or after your foundation?
- After. - After foundation.
- But you can put on before.
Kind of like a Strobe Cream
but I'll use Strobe Cream under makeup
and then I'll top it off with like,
this on my nose there. - A little bit.
- Like even in the corner.
- Look, if you were really packing light
you could probably go for this or that.
I dunno how she slipped that one in there.
(laughing)
- So I have really, as you know, visible dark circles.
They're genetic.
They're normal, everyone has 'em.
Love and embrace them
but to mask and blur and brighten,
this is my go to concealer.
The Clinique Even Better. - Even Better.
- It's like creamy and hydrating.
A lot of people ask me about creaseage.
You can't-
Would you agree?
You can't avoid creaseage.
- You can't. - It's just.
- I get clients saying this,
"I crease under my under eyes.
Like if you could avoid."
You can't avoid that if your face is showing expression.
- Yes.
- No matter what you do,
it's going to crease at some stage.
But there are certain products that are better and worse.
- It is creamy.
It does crease a bit,
but I'm sure like you have tips and tricks
on how to set like a creamy-
- Just a warm finger though, honestly.
- Okay.
- And just pat it out throughout the day.
It warms up the product
and it disperses it outside of, you know,
- Ah, okay.
- the skin's dynamic.
- But it's so good.
It has caffeine, hyaluronic acid.
Like it just really brightens my under eyes
and does such a good job at like blurring
and masking my dark circles.
- I reckon we move on to cheeks now.
We stock Bobbie Brown. - Yeah.
- We don't stock this duo
but you said we have something very similar.
- Yeah, we do.
- So I have this duo that has a brown and a pink.
So the brown kind of like to give definition
and then pink for like a healthy holiday flush.
- Flush to the cheek. - Yeah.
- So I would say that Anastasia Beverly Hills Face Palette
is fairly similar.
- Okay.
- Similar if you were looking for something on site.
But these are gorgeous on you.
- Browse and eyes now? - Yeah.
- I'm sure there are a tonne of amazing
like dramatic lengthening mascara's on our site
that I'm yet to discover.
But at the moment I'm just sticking to my Lash Sensational.
- Yeah, but I like an affordable mascara
because you have to replace them every three months.
- Yes. - Or three to six months.
- Go go through, yeah.
And this just gives like a natural fanned out curl.
- Yes, exactly. - Rather than like
(imitates whoosh).
- Yep, yep, yep.
- I don't suit the like super dramatic.
So that's my lashes.
Brows.
I wrote an article about this.
It's literally like a dupe for the,
I know I'm not to say this.
- It's a dupe for
- Beep. - A very expensive brand
that we don't stock.
- Nine bucks for this. - Oh my gosh!
- e.l.f brow wax duo.
So this is what I use every day.
So it's got like the wax and then the powder to set it.
- I love that.
- I don't use the powder
because then when I go over with a gel it can get crusty.
- Yep.
- So I just use this to like add some definition.
It's so good.
- It's got that nice waxy formula.
- Yes.
- Yeah, I like that.
- $9.
- These, if you're on holiday
and you leave them in like a hotel room
or you lose them, who cares.
Who cares.
- Such a good point, actually.
- Like you got 'em both for under $20.
- I used to wear black eyeliner
like in my teens,
and it's too harsh, I think.
So good tip I learned along the way in beauty
was switching over to a brown eyeliner.
And it still gives. - Much warmer.
- Yeah, a definition that warmer.
And instil like a subtle smokey.
So I just like to do like a really faint, wing.
Like I don't do the full winged out.
- Just like a soft focus wing.
- Yeah, exactly. - Yeah, yeah.
- So this is by Nude by Nature.
And I dunno if you wanna swatch this
but it's just got like a nice dark brown.
- Oh yeah, that's chocolate-y. - Colour.
Chocolate-y.
- Oh yeah, she smudges easily!
- See. - I like that.
- Do you like the formula?
Would you say it's- - Yeah, I do.
It's almost like a gel sit.
Like that sort of vibe.
- Brows.
Oh my gosh, I reckon everyone who works here.
Actually, everyone in the world loves this product.
- Yeah, yeah.
Maddie just used it as well.
- Really? - I use it.
- [Maddie] I did. - Um, yeah.
- It's so good.
I've used it today.
But- - I think we all use it.
- Yeah, the Benefit 24-Hour Brow Setter.
Can't go pass this guy.
- I don't blame you.
- I've tried so many cult brow gels
and after a few hours they go crusty.
They leave like eyebrow dandruff.
- And they go like a bit white.
- Also, I love the super laminated look on other people
but for me it's just too crazy.
- Not the vibe.
- So this just a bit of lamination
and holds it in place. - Bit of body.
- Bit of body. - Yep.
- Yeah, love.
- Yet to find someone that doesn't love this product.
- Yeah, same.
Yay.
Okay, then I set everything in
with another that everyone loves.
- Yup. - Yeah?
What was my life before this product?
- I know.
- I like, I can't believe I'm so late to the game.
But MAC Prep-
- Prep and Plus.
- Yep. - Yep.
- Just to set everything.
So I don't know,
maybe you taught me this.
This is like,
putting it and spreading it on the beauty,
'cause I was spraying it like this.
Which is still fine, right? - Yep, yep.
- But like spray it on your Beauty Blender
and like pat it in just to set everything in.
- Yes, yes.
And they even put my concealer.
Like I spray it on my mini Beauty Blender
and set it in.
- And you just (imitates patting).
- And yeah, it just leaves a dewy sheen,
keeps my (inaudible) in places.
- It just helps everything like set in place nicely
and makes it look really natural.
I usually will like block.
Like I'll put my hand like that
and then I'll spray there.
- Ooh.
- And then I'll do the same and I'll spray here.
'Cause I don't really want it here
'cause most clients get oily through here anyway.
- Yeah, I'm an oily T-Zone gal.
- Yeah, so I will usually just like shield
and spray like here and here.
Where we've put a lot of powder.
- I don't wear eyeshadow,
but we recently, all of us,
this landed on our desks and it's so good,
so affordable.
- Yep.
- The Maybelline Nudes of New York Eyeshadow.
All the colours, I would wear in this.
- You do get a lot of shades in this.
- And think about if you're in a holiday,
like you can just take all of these in one.
- And it's light as well. - Yeah.
- Very, very pigmented.
- Yeah.
And then last but not least.
Again, so many iconic cult products,
MAC
- lippies, Velvet Teddy.
- Velvet Teddy.
- I love that.
- Is that what you're wearing today? No.
- I'm actually wearing Anastasia Beverly Hills Dusty Rose.
- But it's very similar. - Similar vide.
- It's very similar.
- Yes.
So again, I'm not a massive glossy gal.
Yours as as well.
I feel like it's that shade that suits all of skin tones.
- A lot of skin tones.
- That's us next to each other.
It's actually not that different, to be honest.
- Just like a universal shade, I think.
- It's great.
It's really, really great.
- So there was more but I had to cut.
- Well Sadaf, that was a really well rounded makeup kit,
I would say.
- That means a lot coming from a makeup artist.
(laughing)
