So we're starting with a gray brown eyeliner
I'm just gonna sketch out a winged liner
I'm going to sharpen that with my brow tint
Ok next, I'm going to use a cool-toned brown from the ColourPop Stone Cold Fox Palette
It's the shade "U Rock"
Oh, but I need to give you guys an apartment update
You guys remember that apartment I was talking about a few years ago that I lived in?
If you didn't watch that video, I was basically living in an apartment that was not the safest
I saw bloody elevators, somebody died and they like, wouldn't tell the tenants
Anyway, I got an update and apparently somebody else died there
I got this update like, honestly a while ago from somebody who still lived there
But somebody jumped off of their balcony– or they [the apartment] claimed that they did–
but then, they flipped over the body and there was a knife in the person's back
Next, let's curl our lashes
Honestly, sometimes I think about moving back to LA
because it would just be more convenient for me,
but then I really remember the times when I lived in LA
It's just not for me
I think I'm just not a city girl
For lashes today, we're gonna do a different set of individuals
So usually, I do just the spiky ones,
but today, I added a few wisps in between
I'm using, like, three different lengths of lashes
These, I'm gonna use in the front side
Then we're gonna move on to this one in the outer corner,
and then we're gonna use these for the wisps
The thing with these is you have to try really hard not to blink while the glue dries
Moving on to the other set of lashes, I'm going to take a thicker lash for the outer corner
You can see this versus this
Next, I'm taking the wispier lashes
These ones–they're just not spiky; they're like...
flared
And I'm just going to place those right in between the other ones
This is the Glow Recipe Avocado Ceramide Recovery Serum
And then I want to use this new Fenty Eavesdrop Blurring Skin Tint I got
So what I've been doing recently is I've been using skin tints
mixed with concealer as foundation instead
Which, honestly, it probably just creates the same coverage as like,
a light to medium coverage foundation,
but I feel like when I mix things together, they just create the perfect shade
I'm actually getting ready for something that's happening tonight
It's my friend's birthday party,
but I want to go shopping and stuff, so I have to get ready, like, super early
It's like–
Honestly, it's like 10 AM right now and the party starts at 7 PM
I slept at like, 4 AM last night and I woke up at 8 AM
And to make my quality of sleep even worse than it was, I slept on the floor
When I know that the next day I need to wake up early,
I sleep on the floor so that I'm uncomfortable so that when my alarm goes off, I want to get up
I don't know if anybody else does this?
It's like–honestly, it's not that bad
'cause like, I have a rug
It's kind of comfortable, but it's uncomfortable enough where I'm like,
you know, I want to get up in the morning
Mm...I'm not liking how this is looking...
I feel like this might be too drying for my skin 'cause it is a blurring skin tint
and I feel like
it's, like, flaking...?
Yeah, I'm gonna have to remove it
I'm gonna have to reapply the serum too, then...
You know, I find that moisturizers and serums are just way better primers than actual primers
They have, like, this–
the sticky tacky base
Ok, I'm gonna go back to my Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear Care & Glow
This, honestly, I wouldn't say is a skin tint
It's more of a skin tint-foundation hybrid...?
And then I'm going to take the Too Faced Born This Way Multi-Use Sculpting Concealer in the shade "Swan"
Honestly, I feel like this year,
I've gained a lot of clarity in terms of friendships, relationships...
I've learned a lot about myself
For a long time, I was trying to force myself to film and edit vlogs
instead of makeup tutorials just 'cause that's like, what the trend was
I literally was trashing everything because I would sit down, I wouldn't like it,
and then I'd film something else, and then would push back editing it 'cause I didn't like it,
and I've never had this many incomplete projects before
I think I'm just an overall happier person when I'm not thinking about what other people are doing too
I mean, that probably applies to everybody, but
yeah, I don't know how I fell into it, like, trying to do what everybody else was doing?
I know a lot of people enjoy vlogs too, and I like watching vlogs too,
but I just think makeup is the best and the funnest for me
And then for other clarity, I cut off one friend this year
And honestly, cutting off people is very uncommon for me
But this person, I actually confronted about it and I said, like,
you know, "I can't be friends with you anymore" because they had been–
They had been speaking about me in a way that made me extremely uncomfortable
This was my first ever straight male friend and it scarred me enough to make me feel like
I don't want to have straight male friends ever again
I think I usually get along with girls better anyway, though
I'm using the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder in the shade "Rose"
This is their highlighting powder and I actually like it a lot
It looks, like, a little pinky
but it's not super tinted;
it's just slightly brightening
But yeah, for me, I think I'm just a girls' girl
I feel like there's this misconception that girls are difficult to get along with
I have no idea where that even came from 'cause girls are so simple to be friends with
Like, have you ever called a girl cute?
And this isn't like, in a flirtatious or romantic way either
Like, just literally call her cute
I don't know how exactly to describe it, but there's this shared shyness
but like, happiness mingled into one emotion
and it'll make them so happy, like, you guys are immediate friends
Anyway, I'm using the Kaleidos Symphony Contour Trio in "Light"
But yeah, that's another thing I've noticed
in my 20s is it's so hard to make and maintain friendships
Especially since everybody has like, their own jobs,
everybody's graduated now, so it's a lot harder to make the time to see each other
Like, you actually have to put a lot of effort into it
Especially if you have friends–like, long-distance friends
Even like, non-long distance friendships is hard for me to maintain nowadays
I feel like we're all on our own individual self-healing journeys
Ok so going back to the eyes,
I'm actually going to smoke out the lower lash line with the shade "U Rock"
Next, taking a tiny brush, we're going to dip into a darker brown eyeshadow
and then start creating a line from the lower lash line
Do a parallel line right around...
here...?
it's not exactly right here; it's like, halfway between those two lines
And then blend it all together
I'm also going to take the dark brown eyeshadow and then smoke out the wing
And then take the same gray brown eyeliner
Starting from here, just barely touch
the inner section
You're not going in; you're going this way
So hold it here, and then go this way
And then make sure to set the gel liner with a eyeshadow
If you deal with your inner corner smudging a lot,
it might be because you're not setting it with eyeshadow
'Cause imagine, like, if you didn't set your foundation
It would smudge also, so...
This is a gel liner; not a self-setting matte liquid liner
Next, let's curl our lower lashes
And then I'm using the same mascara
I'm going to take a nude liner
and then...just highlight right here
and right here
We're gonna use double eyelid tape
I'm going to take one strip and then cut it in half
And then place it on the outer fold
And then using the Clio Prism Highlighter...
For lips, I'm first using the Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencil in "Wherever Walnut"
And then, I'm going to contour my lips with the Peripera "Wine Nude" lip liner
Clarins Water Lip Stain...
Hmm...it's definitely too pink
We'll just mix a bunch...
Oh, I think we're getting there!
I want it a little more nude, so I'm gonna apply a little bit of concealer
and then smudge out the lips
I'm using the Flower Knows "Classic Ballet" blush
This blush is so pretty
I'm just stamping that right underneath the eyes
And then after I finish with the brush,
I'm gonna go in with my fingers–
and this is how I've noticed that I can get my blush to last longer–
Make sure you're being very selective about placement here
'cause this is going to last a very long time
Finishing touches; I'm gonna add some beauty marks
I really like putting it on my chin 'cause I feel like it makes it look longer
Like, where you place your beauty marks can really contour your face
Like, you don't want to add them too far out on your face 'cause it's gonna...
emphasize that area and make it look wider
So putting it here makes your eyes maybe look bigger
Final final finishing touch is eyebrow gel,
so I'm going to use a setting spray
Spray the eyebrow gel
This is from Lottie London
I'm going to take a spoolie
And this is the completed look!
My first cool-toned makeup look
