hello friends welcome back to my channel if you're new welcome my name is christine
today i'm going to share with you a full face of first impressions this is all new makeup a
couple of things i've tried here and there but i haven't really shown on my channel yet so we're
going to do a little chatty get ready with me and a quick little makeup look that i've been reaching
for a lot lately before we go ahead and dive into the video make sure you hit the subscribe button
if you haven't already also hit that little notification bell that lets you know every
time i post a new video every tuesday and thursday without further ado let's go ahead and get started
a portion of today's video is sponsored by lancome i am super excited to have them as a sponsor this
is a very iconic brand that i haven't used our products in a really long time i have their taint
idol ultra wear foundation this is spf 15 and i have two different shades here i have the shade
280 and then the shade 300. so i'm gonna go ahead and use this foundation today see how it applies
how it wears and all that good stuff and lancome is having their friends and family site-wide sale
right now so you will get 25 off of their entire site if you sign into your lancome account or sign
up for one you actually receive 30 off which is amazing so you definitely want to check that out
i'll go ahead and leave a link down below so this shade right here is 280 280w and this is 300w i
think right now i almost feel like i would be the shade 300 just because it matches my undertones
really well i kind of have a more neutral almost pinky undertone and this one looks a little bit
too yellow so i think let's reach for that so my skin is already prepped and primed i already
did my eyebrows off camera i actually do have a battle of the brow waxes video that i just did
if you haven't seen it yet i'll go ahead and link it up in the corner i talk through how i've been
doing my brows lately some of my favorite brow waxes and a big major review so you haven't seen
that yet definitely want to check it out i put some time into making that video but i used the
patrik top clear brow wax to shape my brows and then i used the abh brow pomade to kind of fill
in and add a little bit more shape to my brows so also look at my new nails the little flames
how cute are those let's go in with the foundation so like i said i think i'm gonna use the shade 300
w this is a very full coverage foundation and this has been around for a really really long
time so this is actually not new but it's one of their like best selling items we'll just apply on
one half the face to start off holy coverage wow that has such a pretty finish
as you can see i have really problematic skin right now i actually just stopped taking my birth
control pills long story short i think i want to switch to the iud my gyno recommended that i
go off of my birth control pills just to see how my skin reacts because i originally got
on the pill because of my skin when i was in like high school but i just never really looked into
any other options and i've heard so many people that love the iud that i think i'm gonna switch to
that i've been off my birth control now for almost a full month and my skin has been breaking out a
little bit more than usual so i'm curious to see how it continues to act after a little bit more
time so i'm probably going to give it a couple more weeks and then talk to my gynecologist about
doing an iud and i'll let you guys know if you're interested more on like an in-depth vlog let
me know i can definitely do one talk about the journey my experience and all that good stuff so
coverage wow the color match is almost like perfect i can tell that this can be very full
coverage if i want to build it up and i might play around with that in some of my problem areas
it leaves kind of a demi matte finish it's kind of matte but not super matte like it still makes my
skin look like my skin and it looks absolutely incredible i also am going through a little
forehead situation i talked about it in my utah vlog if you haven't seen it yet i just posted
that one talked about it a little bit more in that video and i just feel like my skin has been really
acting up in my forehead situation so i'm gonna look into getting a dermatologist and all that
and figure out like why i have these little bumps on my forehead i'm actually not gonna put
any makeup on my forehead just because i feel like i don't want to aggravate it any further
so i think i'm gonna go in with another layer just in my little problem areas when you first apply
the foundation it is very very light but as you blend it in it almost like warms up to the skin
two layers of coverage with my sponge and it looks absolutely stunning it just looks like my skin but
with a little bit of coverage a little bit more perfect and it doesn't look cakey or anything like
that so wow that looks amazing so i'm going to go ahead and apply to the other half of my face okay
so on sephora's website the lancome taint idol ultra longwear foundation is advertised as a 24
hour oil free buildable full coverage foundation with a natural matte finish that's lightweight
transfer resistant and breathable and 50 shades for all undertones that is amazing that this is
oil free so if i really wanted to i could use that on my forehead which is amazing like i said the
shade match is perfection i have two layers of the foundation on both sides my skin looks incredible
and i dragged it up on my eyes as well i totally skipped the concealer if i needed but my skin
it looks amazing i feel like it is everything that it's advertised as it isn't cakey it's super
lightweight and it does really give that coverage and i also love that it's so buildable because
it really doesn't look like i have a whole lot of makeup on and i have two layers of foundation on
okay i'm very impressed with that wow i'm just gonna go ahead and conceal in any of the areas
i normally do okay so that is the concealer all blended out i have these little dark spots because
when i was in utah i had a couple breakouts and of course i decided to go in and pick up my spot
so it ended up being a lot worse than it should have been this is a base no powder or anything
like that and the finish is absolutely stunning i have very oily acne prone skin as you can see but
i feel like i could get away with just putting on the rest of my makeup and not even setting my face
so overall very impressed with this foundation again big thank you to lancome for sponsoring
part of this video they do have their friends and family sale going on until the 31st of this month
and you do get 25 off site wide and if you do sign in or sign up for an account on their website you
will receive 30 which is a great deal so pick up this foundation anything else that you've been
needing now is a great time to stock up anyways moving forward with the rest of the makeup
i think i want to just go ahead and finish off the face while we're here i actually have some
new hourglass cream blushes here to play with that is the shade wonder that's a really good coral
situation i feel like that's a little bit too light and then i have the shade loyal which i've
been reaching for a lot because it's just like a really pretty mauvy color let's do that shade it's
very pigmented but it kind of has a little bit more of a drier formula than i'm used to but i'm
not mad at it brian and i and two of our friends went on a super spontaneous road trip we actually
planned it back in like january it was kind of like mine and rachel's new year's resolution
going a really fun road trip to some place that we've never been before and the boys were kind of
thinking like let's go somewhere kind of far like if we're going in the car let's just go somewhere
kind of crazy you know utah is not that crazy because it's only about a six hour drive here from
la but we had so much fun we spent seven days out there and there was not
a lot of service which was kind of a blessing disguise because it made working so difficult but
it also kind of made us all focus on not being on social media not posting or anything like that so
it was really really nice okay the cream blush is very pretty but i feel like i need
a little bit more you guys know i'm a blush okay so let's go let's do a little bit more anyways
i picked up a new vlog camera i got the sony i think it's called the zt1 or something like that
long story short a few weeks ago my hard drive failed and i lost all of the footage that i had on
that hard drive i didn't have a backup of it only because i previously filmed all of my vlogs on my
iphone you know my camera rolls already cluttered as is so it's kind of nice to separate the vlog
camera from the rest of my camera roll i had to grab another cream blush i feel like it just needs
a little bit more layering bright beauty has these new whipped blushes and how stinking cute is the
packaging the only thing is it is really really small like half of this is product but you really
don't need a whole lot it's a lot it has like a very almost whipped texture this top one here
is coconut rum i didn't use a whole lot of it there you go you can see and then this one here
is melon mojito i feel like i was reaching for coconut rum a lot but i kind of like this melon
mojito it's a little bit different than the color i already have on my cheeks but i feel like it's
not really showing up so let's just do a little bit more but anyways what i was saying was i have
so much vlog footage of that trip we saw so many amazing things out there we went to zion national
park we went to bryce canyon we saw the grand canyon and horseshoe bend i feel like we saw
so many things that there is so much footage and photos and videos to be captured and so
now i have like over 500 clips to go through and i've been editing this video now for the
last couple of days i've probably put in like 10 hours and i'm about halfway through so
but by the time you guys see this video that vlog will already be up but it's just something that
i've been a little bit stressed about that's the only thing about vlogs it takes so long face is
looking really pretty let's do a light little cream contour situation this is the patrick taw
she's sculpted cream bronzer and powder bronzer duo i actually have been using this a lot since i
got it from the sephora sale but i haven't really shown it on my channel yet we have a nice little
cream bronzer in here and then we also have a powder bronzer so we're just gonna do a little bit
whoa that's a lot we got back from utah about last week no two weeks ago almost
that was a very memorable trip it was so much fun i feel like there's nothing
better than spending time with you know your friends and doing wholesome things offline
like playing card games making dinner together even like getting groceries
and planning out what we wanted to do during the day and stuff like that was just so
fun i accidentally did a little bit too much and now my cheeks look a little bit dirty
okay much better i fixed it a little bit with the sponge that i have here i feel like this contour
is super cool toned so it does a really good job of contouring so keep that in mind i accidentally
brought it like a little bit too high and i feel like because it is such a cool tone it kind of
looked a little bit dirty i'm gonna set my face really quick with the tatcha radiant translucent
setting powder i've been really enjoying this but i like using it with a brush i've been working on
some pretty cool projects lately um my manager natalie she is the best and her and i started
working together in like july it's almost been a full year that i've been with her but i feel
like her and i make such a great team i think she knows me really well and kind of like what brands
align really well with me and i just did some tick tocks for a quiet place part two that's coming out
soon and that was just a really cool project to work on brr and i had to do some sort of like
stay quiet games so i thought it would be funny if we did like a gross food challenge where we each
had to try really disgusting foods and whoever made a sound loses so kind of like a quiet place
themed but with a fun kind of game twist to tie it all together you know i'll go ahead and pop
on that tick tock but we had a lot of fun making that we ain't dog kibble for the damn video so we
did some crazy things but it ended up being really really funny to prep for the premiere we decided
first
so i'm taking some of this cream bronzer just to help warm up the outer perimeter of my face
and then as you can see that tatcha powder did a really good job of like lightly setting my
makeup but doesn't make it look like too matte you know like there's still a little bit of shimmer
it still looks very very healthy which i really really like so really happy with the skin let's
move on to the eyeballs i'm just going to use the same patrick taw palette and just pick up
this bronzer with a brush brand i also have been getting a little bit more serious about looking to
buy our own home as you may know we live with his grandma and we've lived here now for almost three
years which is crazy i can't believe i've lived in la for almost three years but i think it's about
time that we find our own place and so we've been kind of looking but it's a little bit difficult
the market's a little bit crazy right now so we're not in a huge huge rush if we find something
that's perfect obviously we're ready and i'm going to pick up a little bit more of that on my brush
pinch it and then i'll pat that into my lower lash line eyes are pretty much done this is the
same flat brush that i used earlier to carve out my brows and so i'm just going to take
that underneath just to really gently sharpen the line as you can see it didn't remove any makeup or
anything like that it kind of just sharpened up the shadow i didn't add anything to the brush or
anything like that and then i have a really cool little trick that i started using these are single
shadows from urban decay this is in the shade dumb luck it's a really pretty gold that has a lot of
reflects in it this is a trick that i learned from stocking the urban decay's instagram this is one
of the best setting sprays ever but what you do is pretty much spray it on the lid and then
take a flat brush pick up some of that liquid and then pick up the shadow and then
it just ends up being so much more vibrant and pigmented so i'm gonna take that across my lid
look how pretty that is so you can see my brush kind of dried out a
little bit so the pigment on this side isn't nearly as pigmented as that side
i'm just gonna keep doing this trick until i get sick of wearing eyeshadow look at that
difference i feel like i need just a little bit more definition so i'm gonna pick up this elf
x-gen atkin palette and pick up some of this warm shade and then i'm kind of dragging in the shadow
a little bit as well just to kind of help blend the two colors you know next i went ahead and
curled my lashes and i'm just gonna take a little pencil liner and this is the pixi endless silky
eye pen this is one of my favorite drugstore black eyeliners ever and i haven't shown this
trick in a really long time on my channel but if i want like a really quick eyeliner this is
what i've been doing i'll just like messily drag the eyeliner across my eye and then i'll take a
angled brush and kind of just smudge it out and just like that so easy other eye is done i'm going
to quickly line my upper lash line you can see that little space up there lining it just really
helps to make the eyes look so much more kind of catty and it makes my lashes look thicker as
well like look at the difference from this eye and this eye so next i'm gonna go in with the lancome
monster big waterproof mascara this is a really good waterproof mascara this is like one of my
favorites from sephora right now i just need one quick coat to hold my eyelashes up and then i'm
gonna go in with a normal mascara to do all of the heavy lifting lancome once you're big this is the
normal mascara the wands on these are so good i feel like lancome definitely top tier mascaras
and then let's just do a quick coat on my lower lash line too why not okay the look is almost
done but i feel like it just needs a little bit more color to the cheeks i'm going to use this elf
exgen atkin just to add a little bit more color to my cheeks like i said i like a lot of blush okay
highlight in this palette really good drugstore palette i feel like it has like very usable shades
you know sometimes you get palettes and there's like one or two shades in there that you won't
ever use i feel like everything in here looks very usable and this palette was i think it was like 12
doulas and then i'm gonna pick some up and put it in my inner corner and then setting the whole
face with my setting spray and then for the lips this is a cute little duo this is the gucci beauty
lip liner in the shade tender and then i have the tower 28 lip gloss in the shade almond okay this
little lip combo is so cute i feel like the tower 28 color is a little bit more like brownie and
muted and really helps to tone down the pinky of the gucci lipstick tones of this look super pretty
very on point for summer and it's good for year round what i'm talking about but it kind of has
like a little rosy cheek moment the skin looks absolutely radiant so let me go ahead and do a
quick flash test pass the flash test y'all so this is the finished makeup it photographs really well
obviously and i feel like the skin looks absolutely incredible go ahead and link all the
