- Hey everyone, my name is Claire
and today on "STYLEKINDLY" with me
I'm gonna be showing you how to do a glam look
and I'm gonna be walking you through
the Pressed Pigment Palette by NikkieTutorials
which is a hundred percent vegan and cruelty-free
(soft music)
How cool is this palette?
So bright and dark.
The instant look at the colors you can see
I kind of digged my fingers into a little bit of the colors,
I couldn't resist.
It is so hard to find a palette
that is a hundred percent vegan and cruelty-free
and NikkieTutorials is huge.
I've been following her for years now.
She started her channel when she was 14 years old.
So she's basically like the Meryl Streep and Elvis
of makeup.
So let's hop in.
So the first thing we're gonna be doing is priming the face
with this Pacifica, cherry matte mattifying primer.
So it's really good for your pre-makeup and for oil control.
So, let's apply that all over the face.
So if you don't know, Pacifica is a hundred percent vegan
and cruelty-free makeup line.
And what I love about this primer
is not only does it smell amazing,
but it really just sets that foundation
and really helps it to not be so cakey.
Make sure you rub it in.
You never wanna forget your neck
when you're doing your makeup.
All right, now that we have primed the face
we are gonna go in with some foundation.
So the first thing I'm gonna do is go in with this
born to glow NYX foundation.
So this is a really affordable option
if you're looking for something vegan and cruelty-free.
I usually wear either NYX for my foundation
or I go in with Kat Von D.
I actually have both
and I might actually do a little bit of a combination.
This isn't as full coverage as the Kat Von D,
but I do like how it leaves my skin feeling, not so dry.
And again, NYX is a lot more affordable
than your higher end foundations like Kat Von D.
(bright upbeat music)
So this is the Kat Von D, lock-it foundation
in the color, medium 53 neutral.
So I'm just gonna go in and try to cover up my scar a bit.
So for glam looks,
what I consider glam is something that is full coverage.
You're doing every single step there is in the books,
contouring, you are doing your highlight.
You're doing a really bold eye.
A little more coverage.
I used to be able to wear
like Kat Von D foundation, no problem
and now I find it a little bit too much
and it feels just dry.
It feels like when I smile, I'm gonna get lines in my face.
So a combination's better for me.
So I'm gonna go in now with this Quo Beauty,
ultra precise brow pencil
and I'm just gonna brush up my brows.
(bright upbeat music)
Okay, so we're gonna go in now with the NikkieTutorials,
Pressed Pigment Palette.
To start, I'm gonna in with my blending bestie
and this is by MOTD Cosmetics.
They are vegan and cruelty-free,
and I think I'm gonna start with slasher
and we're just gonna go into the outer corner I think.
Let's see, know what they say,
always trust the process.
It blends pretty well as well.
(upbeat right music)
A little bit, definitely goes a long way
but we'll make it work here.
I think I applied a little bit too much
but we're gonna try to fix it.
I'm gonna go in with this blend and snap, this pink color,
and kind of try to blend it in with the purple
and soften it out a little bit.
You don't need to put a ton on it, blend really, really well
but this light pink is really, really nice.
Let's go in.
I'm gonna take my pigment packer brush also by MOTD
and I'm gonna go in with redemption
and I'm just gonna put this on the lid.
There's been like minimal fallout, which is really nice.
(soft music)
Okay, that is really pretty.
I'm gonna go on with this red.
Yeah, so my vegan journey started at about six years ago.
I was watching videos when I stumbled across
some undercover footage of the way in which we use animals
and I was absolutely traumatized
and I decided I was going to go vegan.
I tried to go vegan when I was 10.
I didn't know what vegan was.
I tried to go vegetarian when I was 10 years old
and it didn't last very long with limited support
and resources and living with my family at 10 years old.
Yeah, it just didn't happen.
So for the next decade
I tried to pretend like none of it was happening.
I stumbled across those videos again.
And this time I thought, okay, I'm 22, 21,
I was at the time, why would I not go vegan?
I can support myself.
And yeah, I made the decision to go vegan overnight
and woke up and switched out all my products.
I'm being really drawn to this Amsterdam color.
So I feel like I need to use it.
Wish me luck.
Whoa.
Okay, that is cool.
These colors are so rich in color and they're so pigmented.
(bright upbeat music)
Usually by now, you'd have eye shadow all over your face,
but I love that there's like no fallout, which is great.
You know what, I'm gonna go in with the plot twist
and I'm just gonna mix this and that under the eye
just to kind of lighten and brighten it up.
(bright upbeat music)
Okay, we're gonna go in with this VLA color, VLA.
And I'm just gonna put it in the corner of my eyes.
(bright upbeat music)
I'm noticing that it comes up better
with a non fluffier brush, something more flat.
Let's try.
(bright upbeat music)
Got a lot of colors going on here.
I've always loved makeup and I learned how to do my makeup
from watching tutorial like you're doing right now.
That's the best way to learn.
Okay, we're gonna go in with this Kat Von D, tattoo liner
in trooper black.
This is an OG when it comes to liner,
I think it's one of the best in the world.
Like, I'm not kidding.
I think it was actually voted
one of the best liners in the world.
You always wanna do like a nice winged liner
for full glam looks.
And I can't really talk when I'm doing it.
I have to like laser focus, sorry guys.
(soft music)
Okay, so our wing liner is done.
So next, we're gonna go with this Pacifica,
stellar gaze length and strength mineral mascara.
So I've been using a lot of Pacifica's products lately
as I said, they're completely vegan and cruelty-free
which is awesome.
And they are now available in Canada, which is where I am.
I think this mascara actually has coconut oil in it
which is super cool.
All right, we're gonna do some liner
and we're gonna do more of like a nude lip
because we've gone a little bit crazy with the eyes.
So I'm gonna go in with NYX, retractable lip liner
in the color, natural.
So if you follow me, you know, I'm a huge fan of over lining
my lips, the bigger, the better.
So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go over it
with my Kat Von D, bow and arrow matte lipstick.
It's basically the same color,
but it might just give my lips a little bit more of moisture
and they really do last all day.
(soft music)
And then we're gonna go in with our Too Faced, lip injection
instant long-term limp plumper.
Limp pumper, lip pumper, what did I say?
Lip plumper, there we go.
This is a little bit more on the pricier side
if you're gonna go with the Too Faced lip injection.
So I actually have a different option for you
which is more affordable and it's from NYX
and it's the filler instinct.
Does the same thing.
Little bit more inexpensive,
a little bit on the pricier side.
Remember how I mentioned that the Kat Von D foundation
kind of leaves my skin feeling really dry
and like causes lines,
well, I feel like that's exactly what it did
and I'm not really happy about it.
So I'm gonna kinda just try to blend my foundation again.
So we're gonna go in with this NYX, stay matte but not flat
powder foundation.
And I'm just gonna take a big round fluffy brush
and just dab it in here.
And I'm just gonna press it all over my face
and just kinda make that foundation stay put
'cause I have big plans tonight, you know?
Quarantine and all.
Can you believe that it's been a year?
Remember when this happened we were like,
"Oh we're gonna have like two weeks of work off."
And now it's been a year.
Hopefully not too much longer with this vaccine.
Hopefully we can get those numbers down
so we can get glammed
and actually go out and have people see our makeup.
But for now videos and selfies we'll have to do.
Okay, so we're gonna go in with this Urban Minerals,
light reflective highlight and divine matte contour kit.
So I'm gonna go in with this, after hours color
it's the darkest one and I'm gonna mix it with
let's see what the other one's called, sun swept.
So sun swept, sun swept and after hours.
So I'm gonna mix these two
and I'm just gonna start contouring.
So I like to do side of forehead
and then down the cheekbone and then along the jawline.
(bright upbeat music)
And then you just wanna make sure you blend that in
with your neck.
(bright upbeat music)
So we're gonna go in with this BECCA highlighter
and it's in the color champagne pop
and we're just gonna take an angled brush
above the cheekbones here.
This is the best highlighter.
(bright upbeat music)
And then I'm gonna take a smaller brush.
This is also by MOTD, it's called the eye-catching crease
and we're just gonna pop a little bit
on the center of the nose and then go a little bit up.
And then I didn't really contour my nose
but we can do that too.
So we're gonna take this miss shady lady MOTD brush.
And I'm gonna go back in with that contour
in that medium shade and we're just gonna contour the nose
a little bit here.
(bright upbeat music)
Okay, so the last and final step is
we're gonna put on some lashes.
I'm trying a new lash brand today
and they are called Haven Lashes.
They are also a hundred percent vegan and cruelty-free.
A lot of lash companies will claim
that they are cruelty-free mink.
They claim that these minks are humanely brushed
and then the hair that falls out they pick up
and make into products.
That is entirely false.
If you look up any sort of mink farm
you're gonna see the conditions these mink live in.
It's not something that you wanna be supporting.
Trust me on that.
Do some research, try to find lashes that do not use mink,
Haven Lashes is great.
We've got lots of styles here.
I don't know which ones I'm gonna use, but I think,
I think I'm being drawn to Cali.
And then I'll probably just pop a little bit
of mascara overtop.
So you wanna make sure the lashes fit your eye first,
so plot them over top.
I have smaller eyes
so I'm definitely gonna need to cut this.
You wanna always cut off the outer corner,
never the inner corner.
Okay, perfect.
So I've cut them according to my eye size.
Now I need my glue.
So I use the Duo, dark eyelash glue
so it actually comes out black.
I find that when I use white glue,
you can actually see the white sometimes and it dries white.
Whereas if you use a black it kind of blends in
with your liner.
You wanna make sure that glue dries properly
before you place it on your eye or you're in trouble.
(bright upbeat music)
They're really cute, I like them.
So I'm gonna go back and with this Pacifica mascara
and we're gonna make these dramatic as we can.
We're gonna go in with like a pointy brush
and I'm gonna go in with this mama tutorials, shimmery blue,
'cause I feel like I need to use one of the shimmery shades
but we're gonna pop it in the middle.
(bright upbeat music)
The glitter isn't coming off as well as I expected,
I'm gonna try a smaller pointy brush.
(bright upbeat music)
Okay, that's better.
As I mentioned before, fluffier brushes
don't do as well on the palette.
I really wanna dig into this all in color.
Look at that.
I don't know if you guys can see that.
(bright upbeat music)
Whoa.
Okay, that I love.
Okay, that is amazing.
I am obsessed with this palette, like obsessed.
I'm gonna keep this forever.
I'm just gonna go with some concealer under the eye
just to lighten everything up.
(bright upbeat music)
All right you guys, I think we're done.
The last step we're going to set the foundation.
So to finish it off, we're gonna go in with this Tart,
stay spray setting spray, double duty beauty.
You wanna shake it well,
and you're just gonna spray it all over the face.
That's gonna make sure your foundation stays on all day.
(bright upbeat music)
And let that dry.
And I think we are done, you guys.
So overall I would definitely rate this pallet a nine
or a 10 out of 10, which I know seems really high
but honestly, I'm obsessed with this palette.
The colors are so rich.
They're so vibrant.
They came out so well, there was minimal fallout.
What else could you want?
They're sparkly colors.
There's glittery colors.
There's matte colors.
So yeah, your options are kind of endless with this palette,
which I love.
And of course it's vegan.
So why would you not get it?
