- Hi, everyone.
Welcome back to another episode
of What's In My Makeup Bag?
Today, I'm joined by the lovely Liz from marketing.
- Hi.
- And she also co-hosts Doing Our Best,
Trying Our Best. - Trying Our Best.
- Trying Our Best.
Sorry. - Yeah.
They'll be sick of me.
I was a little bit nervous for this one.
- Oh no, you sound out of breath, are you okay?
- Yeah. I'm stressed. (Megan laughs)
I'm flustered.
- She's stressed. - Overwhelmed.
So very cute, AB branded.
- That is...
I need to get one of these.
- They're really good. - Yeah, okay.
- They come in all kinds of sizes.
You would think that my makeup routine would be-
- Yeah. - A lot more polished
because I'm a makeup artist but...
or that I am a little bit more creative with what I do
but I actually do the same makeup all the time.
- Yeah, so do I.
Now this, just wanting to confirm, this is like,
I've called you, we're going on a trip
in an hour and this is your condensed version?
- Yeah.
So first step is the Embryolisse,
I don't know how to say this
but it's like the Lait- - Lait-Creme Concentre.
- There you go,
thank you very much. - Yes.
- I like it 'cause it's a primer and a moisturiser in one.
I don't like to mess around with too many steps
so I just- - Yeah.
- Whack her on and she's good to go.
- I love that.
- And I've got dry skin- - Yeah.
- So needs a bit of love. - Yeah.
I love the little travel size as well.
- And then I actually don't wear foundation
on day-to-day basis.
- That's okay, yeah.
- Now I just do a bit of a concealer but-
- Love that. - When I am
gonna wear foundation,
in summer, it's the Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Foundation
'cause I might get a little bit oily.
- Yeah. - And in winter,
it's the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk.
- So I would say Ultra HD has more of a satin...
natural satin finish.
- Yeah.
- [Megan] And then Giorgio Armani's
more of that glowy. - [Liz] Yeah.
- [Megan] What do you have on today?
Just concealer?
- Concealer in the centre of my face, yeah.
- Nice.
- Then I use the Make Up For Ever Matte Velvet Skin.
- But how would you describe A, the finish
and B, the consistency of it?
- She's quite thick.
- It is, yeah.
It's a thick...
It's a thick formula.
- She's a thick girl. - Yeah.
- And it's quite high coverage, which I like
if I'm not gonna wear foundation and it's just concealer,
I wanted to do some heavy lifting.
- But it blends.
- I think it blends nicely. - Even though it's thick.
- So it says Matte Velvet
but it's probably more velvet, less matte.
- Actually show the applicator-
- The wand. - 'Cause it's quite enlarged.
- I love that it's a large doe foot applicator.
- Yeah. - I will say she's chunky.
- [Megan] Yeah. (laughs)
- So again, quick to use.
- [Megan] Yeah. - Gets the job done.
I kind of like to let my concealer sit.
So I apply it and then let it sit.
So it kind of...
this is gonna be a gross word
but it- - Absorbs.
- Coagulates. - Ooh, coagulates.
- I don't know. - Very nice.
- I feel like it gets, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yep.
- It gives it some time.
- Yeah. - And then I'll do my eyes
while I'm waiting for that to kind of melt a little bit.
But for a more everyday look,
I love to use a brown pencil liner
and just kind of do a little- - Wing.
- I don't know if you can see, you probably can't.
Yeah, like a baby wing.
- Yeah, I can.
It's nice.
- It's really just on the edges, it's not-
- Very subtle- - Yeah.
- But very stunning.
- I just feel like it brings some angles to my face.
I've got quite a round face
so I think it does a bit of lifting.
- [Megan] Yeah.
- And then if I'm gonna go out, I'll use a black one.
This is the Estee Lauder Double Wear
Stay in Place Eye Pencil. - Yeah.
- And then I'll do a more dramatic wing.
- Okay, nice. - And I'll smoke her
out a little bit.
- [Megan] So you use a pencil for your wings.
- For a subtle wing, yes.
- For a smoked out. - Yes.
- Like a shadow wing. - Yeah.
And then I'll go with a mascara.
I feel like all my products are like- (laughs)
- [Megan] What? - [Liz] A bit decrepit,
everything's fading. - Yeah, but
that means that you're actually using them.
Yeah. - You know,
it definitely came from my stash.
- Yeah, it's a good thing.
- The Maybelline,
just the Falsies Lash Lift. - Yeah.
- I feel like Maybelline does the best
value for money mascaras. - [Megan] They do.
I mean, I love boujee mascaras as well
but I change them over so frequently
that I don't- - Yeah.
- I kind of like a L'Oréal
or a Maybelline. - That's what I mean.
If you're changing it out every three months,
which you should be, then.
- Three to six to be fair but I would go more to the three.
- Again, quite a chunky gal. - Big gal. (laughs)
- Big gal. (laughs)
We love that.
- [Megan] Yeah.
- I just feel like it really...
I've got good lashes naturally, thank God
but I just think it makes them thicker, flutterier.
- And so for your actual lids,
do you just put some concealer and just powder it
or do you just let them-
- On a day-to-day basis- - Grow naturally.
- I don't do anything.
- I love that.
- I just can't be bothered.
Unless I'm gonna really commit
into a full eyeshadow look, - Yeah, yeah.
- it's just a bit of bronzer.
- Yeah, yeah, through the crease.
- Yeah. That's it, done.
- So eyes are done.
That was quick.
- They're finished.
- I like this. - Yeah.
- Yeah, you're efficient.
- Yeah, no nonsense gal over here.
- No nonsense.
- I love cheeks.
Cheeks is actually my favourite part of makeup.
- Oh, really? - Yeah.
- Okay. - Even on clients.
I love the Napoleon Perdis Contour Stick.
I love her.
- Yeah. - She's...
Oh, again, very well-loved.
I won't open this one 'cause I'm embarrassed
at the state of it.
- [Megan] I wanna see it.
- It's so bad. (laughs)
Don't. (laughs)
- Oh, it's not...
Oh, okay, interesting.
So it's turned into a bit of a cone shape.
- [Liz] Yeah.
- It's well-loved.
- So I would never do this on a client.
On clients' brush and then face.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - But on myself,
again, I don't have a lot of time.
- You just whack her on. - I just go straight in.
- Nice. - On the jaw, on the cheeks,
around the forehead, on the nose.
- Yeah, and we're done here.
- Done.
Blend it out with brush. - Blend, blend, blend.
All right, lovely. - Yeah.
- And then some rosiness.
- I bought this Make Up For Ever Blush
and didn't realise- - She just pulled that
out of nowhere. (Liz laughs)
- And buy palettes
for this to go in. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- But when I bought it, I wasn't really thinking.
- I wouldn't have picked you for a cool-toned blush.
- I love a cool-toned blush. - Yeah.
- I don't know why.
- I like that. - You know who got me onto it?
Kylie Jenner.
I do think it's got an actual name on the website.
- Okay. - Maybe we'll-
- Add this face colour. - We'll pop that in someway.
- Yeah, TBC, we'll come back to you
on that one. - TBC. Sorry.
I haven't been able to find a cool-toned cream blush.
- Yeah, okay, fair.
- Or they all throw really warm.
If I am gonna do a cream blush,
I did bring it with me, just in case,
'cause I do really like it but she's definitely warmer.
- Yeah. - The Napoleon Perdis
Go On, Rose.
All the blush sticks from Napoleon
are really good, actually.
I do have all the shades. - Yeah.
- Go On, Rose is probably my favourite
but again, quite warm.
- [Megan] That is quite cool-toned.
- [Liz] Yeah, but it's darker.
- Yeah, it's more of like a cinnamony.
- Yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- It's got a...
like a mauve-
- Yeah, mauve. - ness to it.
- Yeah, it does. - Like a mauve, yeah.
- And then- - So cheeks are done?
- Cheeks are done. Finished.
- She's breezing through this.
- I'm quick. - Okay.
- I watched some of these videos
and I was like, "Bloody hell, everyone's got so many steps."
Who's got the time? - [Speaker] Sadaf's one.
She has like- - Yeah, we had to call.
- [Speaker] 10 different foundations.
- Which you wouldn't even think 'cause she looks so natural.
- [Speaker] Yeah. - So natural.
- I've actually been trialling...
again, all the travel size.
I got this in the office.
But the Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Loose Powder, really nice.
- [Megan] I like it.
- It's translucent,
fits everyone. - It's translucent
so you don't really need to be color-matched to it.
And it's all...
good for all skin types as well
so whether you're oily, dry, combo.
- And I'm quite dry so I feel like this is good.
It's still kind of...
I feel like it blurs any imperfections
and the pores without sucking the life outta my skin.
- Yeah, doesn't make you look crusty.
- No, and I can go crusty real quick.
(Megan laughs)
I actually think I'll keep...
once that's run out, I'll keep the packaging
and just do a little transfer. - Yes.
Actually, that's clever.
I don't know why I'm still holding this tissue.
Sorry. (Liz laughs)
- And then I'll go over my bronzer.
I love the MAC Bronzing Powder.
- Yeah.
- She's real beautiful.
- Is that literally just bronzing powder?
- Yeah.
It's the shade Bronze in the bronzing powder.
- [Megan] Yeah. (laughs)
- I don't do a contour and a bronzing powder
'cause again, I can't be bothered.
- Yeah, fair. - So I kinda think
this is a weird mix of cool and warm, enough to get away.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
And it just evens out to neutral.
- Yeah, exactly. - Yeah.
- Tuck it in the crease, on the cheeks,
you know, she's faced. - I like that.
- So I don't really do my brows.
- No, well, you've got beautiful, natural brows.
- They're really thick.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Thank you.
They're really thick.
So I feel like whenever I fill them in-
- You fill too heavy.
- Yeah.
It goes real, real heavy real quick.
I just take a little bit of Brow Freeze through them-
- Yeah, nice.
- And that's more to tame them
than anything 'cause they're a bit unruly.
- [Megan] Yeah, okay.
Get them all in line.
- [Liz] Line them in place.
- As much if you've just woken up.
- Yeah, exactly. - It's kinda ugh.
- They're all over the shop.
I know some people don't like this
but anyone with thick brows will like it.
- Yes. - If you've got a lot
of brow hair, I think it does a good job.
- Yeah, agree. I like it.
- I like it.
- A little bit goes a long way with that
so just start with half of the amount
that you think you need- - Yeah.
- And then half it again and then you can build your way up.
Are we up to lips?
- I have two so again, the Napoleon Perdis Taking Shape
Lip Liner in Play Me.
It's a little bit more brown. - Ooh.
Can I see a swatch?
- Yeah.
- 'Cause I feel like I'd like this shade.
I find it really hard to find lip liners.
Oh.
Show the camera that.
I love that tone.
I like a brown lip liner though.
- Me too. - Yeah.
- And it's really creamy, the formula.
And then this is a classic,
I feel like every makeup artist
and maybe every girl has this. - Yeah.
- It's just the MAC Lip Liner in Subculture.
- [Megan] Oh, yeah.
That's a...
that's a no-brainer. - Tried and true.
So this one's probably not as creamy.
- Yeah.
- [Liz] It definitely feels more like a pencil.
- [Megan] Yeah, okay.
And this is a bit pinky. - [Liz] More pink.
- [Megan] Yeah.
- [Liz] So this is more on the pink side.
I'm a bit pale now
but in somewhere I go, a little bit more brown.
So I do like a more brown-toned-
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Pink lip liner.
- Yeah.
- And then if I'm gonna do a lipstick, these are my three...
I love a MAC lipstick.
I just feel like- - Yeah, same.
- Best lipsticks. - Can't go wrong.
- And these are my top three shades, Velvet Teddy.
Again, classic.
Oh, she's almost done.
(Megan laughs) She's almost finished.
Hug Me. - Yeah.
- So this is...
so Velvet Teddy's a matte. - Yeah.
- This is a Lustre Lipstick. - Yes.
- Which is just more,
I would say- - Creamy.
- It's just like MAC's version of a cream-
- Yeah, a cream lippy.
- A cream finish. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- But they called it Lustre. - Yeah.
- So it's a bit glossy.
- [Megan] I like that.
- [Liz] And this is a little bit more brown
than Velvet Teddy which throws quite pink.
And then I love this.
This is the Satin Lipstick, which is a little bit
less glossy than the Lustre Lipstick.
- Yeah.
- But it's still not of complete matte.
- No. - Maybe this is more creamy.
- Yeah, I think that's more cream.
- And the Lustre is more glossy.
- Yeah, and the Lustre is a gloss.
- This is more your true nude.
It's in Cherish so it's like really...
you're just flat nude.
It's got a lot less pink than the others
so if I want a bit of a Kim K moment.
So this and the brown lip pencil
and you've got...
it's more of a 90s nude. - I like...
yes, 90s nude. - Yeah.
- Yeah, you're like a muted- - Yeah.
- A muted vibe.
Okay, yeah, I like that.
- One of my favourites actually,
at the moment, is again another MAC one.
I'm a big fan, guys.
And these are really new.
They're the Powder Kiss Velvet Blur Slim Stick.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Long name.
I got this from Amy actually.
- Yes, yes. - So it's shout out to Amy.
It's in the shade Brick Through and it's like a pinky red.
- [Megan] I like this. - [Liz] But it's like
a subtle red.
- [Megan] It's a bit- - [Liz] You know when you
wanna do a really dramatic,
blue-toned red. - [Megan] Yeah.
- [Speaker] What do you got in your lips today?
Is that one of those?
- Yeah, so this is the Napoleon Perdis Liner
and Velvet Teddy.
I use MAC Fix+,
doesn't everybody? - Don't we all?
- Everyone does. - Don't we all?
- We love it.
- There's something new launching.
I'm not gonna say exactly (Liz gasps)
what in about a month or so.
It's related to that but I'm not-
- Can you whisper it to me? - I can't.
I can't...
oh, I can whisper it.
- Wow. - Yes.
- Wow. - Yeah.
- Guys, you'll be stoked.
(Megan laughs) (Liz laughs)
Just you wait.
- I can't say anymore.
- Yeah, a little bit of this. - Yeah.
- Just kind of melt everything together.
Makes me a bit more fresh-faced and I'm done.
- [Megan] Well, that was actually really condensed
and concise.
I would happily, if I forgot my makeup bag, just use yours
if we were ever on a trip together.
- That's high-praise coming from Megan, I will say.
- No, it's true.
- It's a very high-praise.
