Hello girl friends and welcome to another episode of Tried and Tested!
And say hello to
Larry!
Hi, everyone. I'm back.
He's back!
Now we're very excited because there's a new makeup brand from London
that just launched in Singapore,
Rimmel.
Actually, Rimmel was here many years ago, unofficially,
but now it's officially brought back here
and today, we're playing with their makeup range.
That's right! And Rimmel is the the number one makeup brand in the UK
and this brand is all about irreverence,
it's about doing what you want regardless of the rules.
But then, it's not about being a rebel without a cause, you know I mean?
Just for the sake of being a rebel.
It's kind of like...
it's about celebrating your own personality,
so that's why they have brand endorses like Cara Delevingne,
who is amazing.
She is well known for her very strong opinions.
Shu An: Yes. Larry: And her very strong brows.
Yah, so much attitude.
But London is kind of like that right, like very badass
but at the same time like super classy.
So I feel like they're full of contradictions but in a really good way.
So Rimmel has four different looks inspired by the four different areas of London
because each area has its own unique personality.
So we have North London, Rockstar Princess look.
West London has Carpet Warrior, something more posh.
East London has this hipster diva look to it.
South London, which is High Classy Street Funk.
Actually I want to try this look on you as well.
Well I know which two looks I like, I like the first two the best.
And we'll try this on as well?
Okay.
Let's do this.
West London Red Carpet Warrior look.
I really like this, it's really cool because you have the red carpet that's really posh,
but you also have the warrior side of it that is really strong.
Okay come, let's try this!
Alright first, we're going to use primer.
I like the fact that when you apply on, you'll feel hydrated, but it's more of a matte finishing.
I will always apply foundation where we need, not necessary whole face.
So it's like you put less on this side of the face,
but you put more on like the corners and stuff.
Yeah under the eyes, some corners, just to make it look more polished.
So the concealers,
I will use these two shades.
Because your skin colour will change, because sometimes your at the beach, your skin gets a bit tanner,
sometimes you are indoors a lot, you get fairer,
sometimes. you're very tired you go grey.
So it's very good to mix around the colours.
Next, I love this eyeshadow stick.
Meticulously just draw it on, closely just draw on and rub it across.
Use your fingers to smudge it out. If it's a bit messy it's fine.
Because you're just gonna use your finger to work it out.
You know how some crayon sticks when you apply there's a slight drag to it?
Larry: This one doesn't have it. Shu An: Yeah, yeah not at all, it just glides right on.
Next, I'm gonna use this eyeliner. Just draw very close to the lash line and smudge it out.
This is just to darken the lash.
So on the other side of the pencil itself has a rubber bung.
Just lift it up and smudge it in.
I'm just going to do it one third, alright,
and just connect both sides and smudge it in.
You just want a bit more depth,
we do not want a heavy-handed finishing to it.
Next I'm going to use is Magnif'eyes Eye Contouring Palette.
So I'm going to use this shade which is like more coppery, burgundy colour.
Gently just tap and blend it out.
Just sweep it on the lower lash line.
Alright?
That's really nice.
The sheen is very interesting because there's a bit of red, gold tone to it as well,
so it's more dimensional.
Yeah, so this is very good for catching light.
Next I'm going to use a slightly lighter beige colour, in the inner eye here
Just by doing that, it creates more depth on the eye.
The colour payoff on this is fantastic.
Because especially at this price range, I find it very hard to find good shimmers.
So now I'm using a darker shade.
And just,
finishing it at the ends.
This would bring more depth across the eye.
This darker shade should be used as a shadow.
It adheres to the skin quite well as well.
Light sweep, the colour goes on.
I'm loving this, like it looks so classy.
Not I look classy, it's the makeup that is classy.
So next, we're going to use mascara.
The bristles are really quite thin because I can feel them
So there's no clumpiness to it.
Now, the brows.
So you can see that one side is a wax,
and the other side is a powder.
We use the wax.
Just lightly apply on areas where you need filling up
to allow the powder to stick better.
As you can see when I apply it on, the colour comes out true
because of the wax base.
It's a nice defined arch, but then
but then the bar itself doesn't feel too strong or heavy which kind of fits with the overall look.
Because normally you think red carpet you would think like strong black brows,
and like strong line and then strong lip.
But this is like a different kind of approach.
So what I'm using next is a brow gel.
And then what you do is just sweep over gently against the growth.
Yes, this will coat the brows.
and then you brush it upwards, just to tint the brows a little bit.
So to create a sun-kissed look, I'm going to use the blush.
We use it to sculpt the face,
so just slightly below the cheekbones.
Oh I like this!
Larry: Okay, lipstick now. Shu An: Lipstick!
I love this colour!
It's very you.
It's so pretty.
Okay, I'm really liking this look.
Right?
I love this was a red carpet because it's like understated,
but still, it's defined enough to kind of like draw attention.
So this look is the North London Rockstar Princess.
A more refined goth.
Yeah, it's like who says all princesses need to be pink and fluffy.
No pink and fluffy.
Okay let's try this one!
So let's start again with the Stay Matte Primer, because I want the colour to...
pop even more.
I'll mix with a light skintone,
so it's one pump of a 100, 2 pumps of 200 and 200 is like my actual colour.
Actually looking at the photo,
that kind of makes sense because then it makes the
black eyes and the dark lips pop.
So it's really just like a smidgen lighter than your regular colour
because you don't want like you know, like a ghost face.
Next I'm going to use concealer, on areas where it's still slightly more red.
Next, I'm using is the Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed Powder,
but this is in silky beige, the lightest shade.
Dust on areas where I need, maybe like under eye, on the T-Zone and that's it.
So next, what we're going to use is the Lasting Finish Soft ColoUr Blush.
It's like so light!
Enough to warm the skin tone but not overpower the whole look.
Oh because it's so strong.
They always say either eyes or the lips right, now we're going strong eyes, strong lips.
Yeah, a lighter blush is much nicer.
Next, we're going to use eyeshadow stick.
Inner corner of the eye and bring it out in front, finger blend through, just to blend the colour out.
We'll be colouring about one quarter, one third of the eye, depending how big your eyes is.
So next, is the black.
I'm just going to colour the other portion, and then I'll buff it out with a brush.
And then put a second coat.
The second coat will increase its level of colour.
Next, what we're going to do is using Scandaleyes Gel Liner,
just to intensify the darkness
so just use a little bit on the lash line and smudge it out.
I like the fact that it's very creamy.
So you can't really tell it's eyeliner eyeliner.
Yeah.
We still have Exaggerate Eyeliner.
Yes yes yes yes.
I was just about to say, can i get more eyeliner please.
For this I'm just adding more definition.
I'm gonna go over the lash line,
and maybe rub into lash.
Yes!
Right? So for mascara I'm using ScandalEyes XX-Treme.
I'm starting with the flat side first.
What it does it coats a thin layer.
Normally it's used for lengthening.
And then I'm using curved side.
This allows more volumizing.
For your brows, I'm using Professional Eyebrow Pencil.
I like this because it's a bit more taupe.
Draw in 45° angle.
and just gently glide.
Because I realise there're a lot of eyebrow pencils nowadays right, you have to draw with a lot of pressure.
They tend to be a bit drier.
Whereas this one I feel like its almost like coal, it comes off, it slides right off.
So use a brush and brush through itself, what it does it diffuses the colour out,
so it feels much more softer.
I like how even though you drew so much, it still looks super natural.
Yeah because it's a taupe base.
Even though the name is a bit deceiving, saying black brown.
Next I'm using The Only 1 Lipstick.
I feel like this looks a little bit purple.
something a bit Darker more...
Shu An: Red maybe? Like a dark red. Larry: More intense.
So let's try mixing it with Moisture Renew, more plumish shade.
Yeah yeah, something a bit more darker.
I really like this look because I really feel like this has that rock goth kind of look without being too extreme.
This look is South London High Classy Street Funk.
When I see this look, it's street style,
but yet, it's like I could go out for tea with this.
It's very strong, it's bold,
but it's like I didn't put in too much effort.
I care, but I don't really care about you look.
Yeah.
Foundation. Just need a touch of it.
What's the difference?
This is more translucent.
Oh it's really a lot lighter.
I can still see my own skin texture underneath.
and this works for this look because you're not suppose to look like you put in too much effort.
Because this look is not about the sheen on your skin, so we want more of a natural matte finishing.
You can use like Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed Powder.
Cult favourite, some people swear upon it that if they don't bring it in, they will go commit suicide.
Lovely matte finishing.
And it doesn't look like super powdery or anything.
So next thing we're going to use is eyeshadow crayon.
I'm just going to do a very thin layer across.
All the way through the eyebrow.
Sounds a bit strange right?
Yeah because when you draw like this right, I'm like "Isn't that too much?"
No, but it's just to create a sheen across so when you put your eyeshadow powder on,
it creates this very interesting glow to it.
It's so pretty!
I love this colour as a base.
This is like a pencil eyeliner.
I love to do it under the lower lash line.
And then you rub it into the lower line, just to create definition.
There's no tugging, I just wish it comes in more colours!
So next what we're going to use is Magnif'eyes Eye Contouring Palette.
Just go over the smudge black.
Just to make it look a bit worn in.
You know what this is also like?
This is like I went to bed with makeup last night.
I did this in the morning, and I don't care.
Yeah.
But more refined, less mess, more refined.
Pick up this shade, medium brown with champagne shine to it.
Dab it in the centre, following your natural socket and back and forth
And then next we're going to use the light beige.
This time round, not across the lower eye, but only in the centre.
So next we're going to use eyeliner.
We do half the eye, it's is very black, almost like pitch black finishing.
And when you're drawing it feels very smooth, and very fluid and steady.
Because sometimes this kind of marker ones right,
you have to go back and forth a few times to get the colour out.
So next I'm going to use is Brow This Way Eyebrow Sculpting Kit, but the colour is different.
Oh this is darker than the previous one.
Because you see how Rita Ora look was, it was a bit more like a full strong brown.
And because this is more of a live in look, the brows can be fuller but it shouldn't look too drawn in.
So next I'm going to use is mascara.
Cream blush!
Next thing is Royal Blush.
So this is a cream to powder, take a little bit, dab on the face.
Or what I do is spread at the back of my hand,
pick it up and then airbrush onto the face.
This is really nice!
For your lips, I'm going to use two shades in two different textures.
This one is matte.
Wow that's really purple.
And then the next one is like a bluey pink.
I really like this colour!
I was like Oh my goodness, that's too much but I really like this colour!
Next, I'm just gonna use this moisturising last lipstick upon what you have.
Because we want more defined look, I'm just going to sharpen the cupid bow.
And because of the lilac beneath,
when you apply the pink, it feels cooler.
It's a burst of...
It's even brighter.
I really love how you've adapted this look for my face.
The Rita Ora look is stronger,
but it wouldn't suit you so what I did is I took it down.
It's like an adaptation of a very funky look.
Of all the three looks we tried, I think my favourite is...
Red Carpet Warrior,
because I love that it looks very sophisticated.
There's something about smokey brown eyes that I love.
Ultimately I feel that all the looks,
I feel there's a little bit of each of them and everyone of us, you know I mean?
It's kind of like just which one you feel like being that day
and like all the looks are really about embracing individuality
So ultimately don't copy wholesale.
Yeah, it's kind of like being inspired by the place that it comes from, the spirit of it.
Channel the energy into the head.
