Hello, everyone. Welcome back.
Thank you so, so much for joining me.
So today we are doing a reaction video.
Let's take a look at some of the things you
have been tagging me online on all my socials.
Yeah, go ahead and tag me in anything you find.
Do please consider subscribing.
Give this video a thumbs up.
And as I always say in these
videos, creativity and individuality have no rules.
But makeup most definitely has a theory.
And let's explore that theory.
"So what I do is I always start with my
nose, and I draw two lines down my nose
and a little V on the tip of my nose.
And then I do a couple of lines either side as well.
Now, for this part, I always use my fingers.
I don't use a brush. Very carefully, making
sure that I am really keeping this center
part clear of product because I want it
to be lighter and pulling the product down.
So really connecting the brows and making
the nose look longer and slimmer.
Then, what I do next is I contour my eyes.
Now, I am not using this product to replace eyewear,
to replace my eyebrick, or to replace my Kajal eyeliner.
I am using this to contour the eye.
This is the perfect base for you to
then create your smoky eye on top of.
And I do two lines either side, really along the crease
of the eye and a very, very fine along the bottom.
I do use a brush for this part because
I like to really buff the product in.
And then I use a smaller brush on the underneath,
starting on the outside, but really bringing the product right
into the center of the eye as well.
And I do two lines either side of my face here.
Again, I do use a brush for this part.
So what I'm doing,
and I'm doing this very quickly.
And again, this is so easy. It doesn't take a long time at all.
Then lastly, I do a couple of lines on the temples,
and I really like to buff the product in here.
Now, what this does, this connects
the forehead to this cheek.
So we're going to have a little
darker shadow here, here, and here."
So that was obviously Victoria Beckham.
She looks great.
What I really liked about the nose contour was how she
was actually focusing on the wider part of her nose instead
of like, she did apply a bit up here, but then
she just kind of blended it in and blend it out, down
here instead of the whole way across.
Which is almost customizing the contour to her nose.
The cheeks, I mean, I personally don't like drawing lines.
I'm so shiny, I just realized.
Yes. And the eyes, people often forget.
I think if you're not doing too much eye
makeup, but you're doing like a smoky eye, it's
a really good idea to contour around the eyes
because you're adding depth and shadow to that area.
I sometimes even bring it out a little bit further, bring
the eyes and connect it outward so it's like this.
Like this.
So you have that really nice sculpted look.
It's not for every day, but it's a really good thing to do.
Erm...
If you want to cover your beard.
Here's the thing with beards, right, it's a lot
of texture, so you kind of have to treat it
like an eyebrow, where you want to wax it down
and fill in the gaps and wax it down again.
The issue is with this, is if you're using
a spoon or anything, really, to go
backwards and forwards on the hairs.
And this is the same with even, like
little bits of peach fuzz.
If you buff over it and you're circling and
buffing, you're making the hair stand on edge, making
them stand up more from the root.
So you're making it more obvious.
There was a lot of product being used
there for not much of a result.
You could have got that same
result just blending foundation into it.
So it's a case of, like, flatten, wait for
it to dry, go over again, flatten.
Maybe another time, flatten it out again, and then push powder
into that area, same as your eyebrows.
Otherwise, it looks like a bleached beard, which,
I mean, is kind of a look. Yep.
"Yep. We're going to test it out.
Dipping into an eyeshadow and swiping that
onto the face because I'm not about
to potentially mess up this wing.
I love a good setting spray, so I hope this works.
Also love when I have the opportunity to use my fan.
Then I went in and started swiping pretty
freaking hard, and the eyeshadow did not budge.
Honestly, not bad."
This is... that's fine.
Her wing was beautiful.
There's one thing...
Why is this lash, like, dripping down my face?
We can make something sit like this, sure, but what
breaks down our makeup isn't coming from this way.
I say this a lot, and some of
you are probably sick of me saying this.
What breaks down our makeup over time, most of the
time is oils coming from our skin coming out.
So although it might have, like, frozen
something here, when we rub it, our
oils can still congeal with that texture and with that product.
It might work for some people, but for a lot of oily
people, setting sprays don't work in that way.
We want to block the source.
Use that setting spray as your primer,
after your primer, before your primer.
Block that oil coming through. It works. It works.
It works well that way.
I consider this false advertising.
Someone tagged me in that.
I was like, you can see the glitch.
Yeah, I can see the glitch.
The skin's, like, shaking and wobbling, but
also that's so diffused and blurred out.
That's not what the product looks like.
That's not what it looks like. Sheglam. Come on.
You have enough people selling your products for you.
You don't need to do a
fake, completely blurred out filtered video.
That's insane.
That video is nice because it looks amazing.
She looks great. Skin looks amazing.
Makeup looks beautiful.
If it was like, this is a look.
Not advertising a product.
But that is an advert for a product.
Not good enough.
The person who tagged me was like, there's no way.
There's no way. There's no way.
You can literally see the smoothness.
Listen, as I make my way through my tags and everything
like that, can I ask of you all a favor?
Leave your grandparents alone.
Leave them alone.
They haven't come this far in life
to be part of your clickbait crap.
Please, please just let them live their life instead
of smothering them makeup and making them do
things and making them be part of your...
Leave them alone.
Unless they want to, but leave them alone, please.
So someone tagged me and said, please try
it and tell us if it's legit.
So I think I've thrown that blush away.
Here's the deal.
It's a terrible blush.
It's an awful blush.
There are some Dior products that I really like,
but the truth is the pigment is terrible.
The pigment looks absolutely terrible.
I get tagged in a lot of videos about pink
concealer, pink blush and things like that under the eyes.
Here's why it works, right?
It's because it's a brightening color.
That blush, here's why it's bad, because it has no pigment to it.
It's a really terrible, lightly pigmented blush.
I don't know why everyone made such
a big deal out of it.
It was sh*t.
So, I can see that being used under the eyes
in a way where it is so subtle that I
feel like it would give a really nice wash of,
just brightness and pink under the eyes.
So I really do think that would work.
I think that would be a really good thing.
The blush is terrible.
I wouldn't go out and buy it personally, but, I mean,
that's a good use for it if you have it already.
I was in the middle of taking off my
makeup and realized that my camera had timed out
and it didn't record the end of that video.
Listen, I'm so sorry about that.
Thank you so much for watching.
