Hello everybody, welcome back to my channel
My name is Jessica and today's video is going to be a chit chat get ready with me
Also, Happy Year of the Rabbit
It's my year this year
If you want to get this bunny plushie I designed, then shop delivery.co
I also did an eyeliner technique that I think the hooded eye girlies will really like
At first glance you can't tell, but all of the eyeliner is basically on the bottom
so it doesn't cut into your eyelid
So if you want to see that and get ready together, catch up,
then just keep watching!
Ok so starting with the brows,
recently, what I've been doing is I don't really fill in the entire brow completely
I find that usually when I do my brows first,
I do end up having to touch them up at the end of my makeup routine anyway
because usually when you apply foundation,
it, like, gets on top of the brows
so what I do is I just sketch out a shape
and then at the end, I'll refill it in and also apply brow gel
I noticed that whenever I do my eyeliner, like,
it usually ends up cutting through here,
which ends up making my eyes look more hooded, or smaller than they normally would look
So if you have eyes like mine or more hooded eyes,
doing your eyeliner like this where it's like
a little bit more downturned and it doesn't ever touch the hood
might actually suit your features more
So I'm taking an eyeliner pencil,
and the key here is to keep the line on the bottom
You can see on this side, the majority of the liner is on the bottom lash line
So I'm just extending the eyeliner
To open up the eyes more, we're going to leave a gap here
and then draw a bottom line
Don't worry about the lines being messy because we're going to clean it up anyway
So that was just the base line, but now we're going to take a brown eyeshadow
and blend out to create a soft shape
The issue that some people might have with creating this eyeliner shape is that
it makes your eyes look too downturned, so a good way to combat that–
if you don't want that shape–
is take an eyeliner and extend the inner corner
And then set that with eyeshadow
Next, I'm using a liquid liner to get a really thin line
We don't want it above the lash line
Just fill in the lash line
Use a waterproof gel liner to fill in the waterline
The MAKE UP FOR EVER one is my favorite
I find it's the most waterproof
Next, take a shimmery or nude liner and draw a line right here
This sort of helps to clean up the liner
and it also opens up the eyes more because it's brightening that little gap we left open
To also make the eyes less downturned, you can apply a little bit of shimmery liner right here–
right below the other inner corner line–
and then bring it into the waterline...
right under the pupil
I'm using the Flower Knows Chocolate Series Embossed Blush in "Antique Doll"
It looks like this
It's so pretty
This is my favorite brand at the moment; it's so detailed
I'm not gonna apply too much eyeshadow because usually,
you don't want to apply too much eyeshadow if you're doing like,
eyeliner for hooded eyes
It's just not gonna show the eyeliner
Next, I'm going to curl my lashes
I've been saying this for the longest time now, but if you have straight, stubborn lashes
and you don't like the Etude House Lash Perm Curl Fix, which is one of my favorites,
you need to try this one
This is the Kill Lash Superproof Mascara "Long Curling" from Clio
So this one's less clumpy because it's–you know, lengthening rather than volumizing
And then I'm gonna pinch the lashes together
You see how it creates that separated lash look?
Next, let's apply individual lashes
Ok so moving on to the face, I'm gonna first apply moisturizer
This is the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops
I'm actually running out of this, so I have to, like...
This stuff is so good under your makeup
It actually makes your base look flawless
For my base today, I'm going to be using the Lancome
Teint Idole Ultra Wear Care & Glow Foundation in the shade "105W"
I actually didn't like this the first time I tried it, but mixed with concealer, I really like it
So I'm mixing it with the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in the shade "Vanilla"
Oh yeah, but big news!
DeliVUry is officially closing
So if you guys don't know, DeliVUry was my shop
I designed, like, plushies and stationery, and just home goods in general
It was a really fun passion project for me for the past few years
I didn't find myself like, really sketching and designing stuff as much as I used to
and there's another huge project I'm working on right now,
so if you want to snag any of the things I designed,
you should probably do that now
because they're not coming back
And these are all things that I personally, like, drew and designed
and I'm super particular about plushie quality, so the plushies are like, the best quality
It does feel a little bittersweet saying goodbye to it
because I did work on it for a pretty long time,
but I'm also really excited for the next project I'm doing
and I think you guys will really like that too
Next, I'm using the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder,
but this is the Tone Up version
I feel like this is a very underrated Laura Mercier powder
It has, like, a slightly pink tint
but it doesn't actually leave a pink tint; it just sort of brightens up everything
But yeah, if you've been thinking about getting anything from DeliVUry,
now's the time to get it because once it's gone, it's gone forever
Next, let's contour
Ok so I talked about this recently on live, but a lot of people weren't aware about, like,
not getting into an elevator alone with a person, which was kind of alarming to me
because I was like, I feel like more people should know about this
But at my last apartment, I had a weird experience–like, elevator encounter
How the apartment is laid out is there's the mail room here,
and you have to have a key fob to get into the mail room
Then there's the gym here, which you also need a key fob to get into,
and then all the way at the end of the hall is the elevator
You can't get to this hall other than going through the mail room or the gym
So this elevator, you do not need a key fob to get up the floors
because you already need a key fob to get into the entrance
So I was coming back from the gym,
and there was a man who was coming from the other side of the entrance
So I saw he was wearing a construction worker uniform
and he had gone through ahead of me, so he was walking this way
and then I came out of the gym and I would start walking this way,
so we were both headed towards the elevator
So since he was in front of me, I noticed that he was walking to the elevator and he stopped there,
so I walked past him because I didn't want to get in the elevator alone with him
So I walked past him, I turned around the corner, and I stood there and waited
And then when I heard, like, the little elevator ding and then it went up,
I walked back to the elevator
When I walked back–usually, above elevators, it shows you like,
what floor people are going to so you can track like,
when the elevator gets to your floor and then you can get in
So I was waiting for the elevator and I saw that the elevator stopped
on the top floor and then it was coming back down
It wasn't like it stopped there and paused,
like somebody was keeping the door open, and like, dropping something off or anything
It literally went up and then it stopped and then it came back down right away
When it came back down, the elevator doors opened and the man was still standing there
So when I saw him standing in there, it was very suspicious to me because
it doesn't make sense that you go in an elevator,
and then you go to a floor, and then just go back down
Like, you just stood in there the entire time
So once the elevator doors opened, he was standing there and he asked me to come into the elevator
He was like, "Do you want to come in?"
I didn't really answer him–I just, like, looked at him, like, weirdly
and I started backing up and like, getting ready to run
And I think he could sense that I felt, like, weird about it?
So he just got out of the elevator and then walked around the corner and walked away
and then I got into the elevator and I went up
In hindsight, I think I should not have gone up
Like, maybe I should have just gone back to the mail room or like,
to the leasing office and asked somebody to take me up
Let's apply the same blush as we used for our eyeshadow
Immediately after the encounter, I– after I got into my apartment,
I started like, trying to gaslight myself into thinking that it was like, nothing–
like, I was just overthinking it–
but I couldn't help thinking that something was wrong
Like, something in my gut was just telling me, yeah that would've been a really bad situation
So I ended up calling the leasing office and telling them about it
and they went and like, sent somebody to go look for him
but he was gone by then, I think, because I waited like, a really long time to call them,
which was my fault, but you know
I was spending that time trying to gaslight myself
But yeah, I feel like there were a lot of red flags
Like, he got in the elevator just to not go anywhere
And then the most suspicious thing is that he asked me to get in the elevator with him instead of just like,
if he was planning on getting off at the first floor for whatever reason–
like, go up and go back down
After the doors open, wouldn't you just immediately get off on your floor
instead of asking somebody to come in and then get out?
Like, it just didn't really make much sense to me...
Even if like–
Even if I try to think like, "Oh, he was just trying to be nice",
you only ever ask people to get in if you're planning on, like,
continuing to go down or you're continuing to go up (1st floor is bottom floor btw so he wasnt continuing down)
You don't ask them to get in and then you get out
Like, the only reason why he got out is because I started like,
looking at him weirdly and I looked like I was about to run
So yeah, moral of the story is don't get in the elevator with strangers,
especially if it's just you and one other person, and it's like...a man
But yeah, I remember telling this story on Live and a lot of people were actually like,
"Oh I didn't know you weren't supposed to get in the elevator with just one other person"
and I feel like more people should know this because it could be extremely dangerous–
not just that they would do something to you in the elevator
because–you know, there's security cameras–
but they could follow you off onto your floor,
follow you into your apartment or force you to let them into your apartment
But yeah, my mom, when I first moved to LA,
she told me, "Don't get in the elevators with strangers,
especially men if it's just you and them"
And you know, when she told me this, I thought she was over-exaggerating
I thought she was like, just being paranoid
but I'm really glad that I actually listened to her in this situation
because it could have been very bad
Before this situation, I actually did get into the elevators with strangers sometimes
Like, people that I thought didn't look suspicious,
which, now, I don't do that–
I literally just won't get in the elevator with a person anymore
But I have gotten into elevators with, like,
DoorDash drivers and like, delivery people because I just didn't think anything of it
In this situation, it was specifically because the man was very large
He was at least 6'3" and he was like, very big
and even though he had on like, the construction suit and like, hard hat and everything,
it didn't look like he knew what he was doing
It looked like he didn't know where he was
I think that's why, like,
my gut reaction was like, don't get in the elevator with this man
But yeah, that's another thing
If you ever think that you're like, being overly paranoid about something,
just listen to your gut because most often,
like, there are little cues that subliminally will tell you something's not right
I'm using my favorite NYX lip liner
I feel like this is a very muted look, but I kind of want to do burgundy lips...
You know what? I'm gonna do it
I recently posted a TikTok about this,
but I've been using the Peripera ink the Velvet in "#31 Wine Nude"
and it's like, the perfect red bean type of lipstick color
This is where I contour my lips
Take a brush and then blend it in
This helps you get the soft blurred lipstick edges, but the application is still very precise
And then let's apply some more on the center
This is a very cool-toned red
Mm...not sure if I'm feeling this lip color...
Maybe we'll apply a little bit of red
"Classy Plum Rose" in the center...
I'm going to apply a little bit of concealer to make it a little more nude-ish...
I'm gonna apply eyebrow wax now
So I'm using my MAKE UP FOR EVER setting spray
and then just wetting the eyebrow wax
I do this last because if you do this first,
when you set your foundation with powder, it's gonna make your eyebrows all powdery
Look at the difference that eyebrow wax makes–
it just looks, like, cleaner
I'm gonna fill in any blank areas with an eyebrow pen
This is from NYX–it's my favorite
It's so useful; you can use it for eyeliner, beauty marks, and your brows!
And then finally, what I've been doing is I've also been using highlighter to contour
So I'm using a highlighting powder
Actually, I'm going to apply a little bit of the contour shade
right...on top of the blush
So we're kind of, like, creating an ombre
And this is the completed look!
So for accessories today, I have these earrings from En Route–or En Route–jewelry
These are like, my go-to when I don't know which earrings to wear
They just, like, match everything
And then you guys know I've been going through a fake glasses phase
I just think they're so cute
I like to get blue light blocking ones so they're useful and they don't have,
like, as much of a glare
This is the outfit
Thank you so much for watching
