- Hello, everyone, welcome back.
Thank you so much for joining me.
So it's a slightly different background and it's a mess.
Oh no, you can see my.
So this is my desk where I usually film
and I haven't tidied it since the last time I filmed.
So today I thought I'll keep it really casual with you.
I'm in natural lighting,
so you can see every part of my face.
Which is, I mean, not so good for me.
So I've done in the past two videos
all about natural lighting and makeup in natural light.
And I've done like quite like glam look,
and a lot of you asked for just an everyday friendly.
I thought what I did last time was everyday friendly,
but maybe it wasn't for everyone.
So we're actually gonna do everyday friendly today.
And I'm doing that in natural lighting for you
so you can see exactly how to do it.
So just before we jump into that,
I wanna thank the sponsor of today's video,
which is Stylevana.
You have seen a sponsor pop up on my channel a few times.
They are absolutely amazing.
One of my favorite things to use is Korean beauty,
whether that be skincare or makeup,
and Stylevana have sent me a few things to use.
Some of the products here I have used already
in different shades, so that's good,
I'm very familiar with them.
And most of the brands, oh, actually all the brands here
are brands that I really, really like.
So I'm very happy to be able to use them with you today.
So, Stylevana are an online shop
where you can buy some incredible Asian beauty and fashion.
The website is absolutely incredible.
I like to spend a little bit of time
going through everything they have on there.
I always discover something I haven't found yet,
or I have never used yet.
And it's a really great way to explore some Korean beauty,
maybe if you're not familiar with K beauty.
So they have very kindly again
giving me a 15% off discount code for you.
I love a good discount.
I'll leave that right on the screen here.
And you can use that 15% discount for so many brands
on their website.
Ones that I've used before in these videos,
like RiRe, which is amazing,
MACQUEEN, one of my absolute favorites,
their eye pencils are incredible,
MEMEBOX, moonshot,
which is another one of my absolute favorites,
THANK YOU FARMER and PURITO, just to name a few of them.
So I will leave a link and a code in the description box
for you to check out yourself.
So the idea of today for the makeup
is not too much, but not too little,
but kind of giving our skin what it needs.
My skin today is feeling incredibly dry.
So I filmed a collaboration video,
and it's not up yet so I won't say much about it,
but I used a product that I've never used on my skin before
and I had this kind of burning sensation to it.
And my skin is like just incredibly, incredibly dry
and horrible and it's gone quite red and patchy
in some areas, you see here.
And here's another thing, I haven't threaded
my eyebrows or my face, 'cause I was like,
"The UK's gone into another lockdown,
I'm not gonna see anyone."
And then I was like, "Oh, wait a minute, YouTube."
(laughs) So, like, yeah.
For me, the key to a great looking base,
great looking makeup, is what we prep our skin with.
So, I'm gonna go in
with the Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence.
This is from MISSHA.
MISSHA is one of my absolute favorite Korean brands.
They're one of the first brands I used
in terms of skincare that were Korean.
I've cleansed and toned already.
So I'm gonna go ahead and use this essence.
So I'm gonna pour a bit on my hands.
And I'm just gonna gently tap that
and apply that to my face.
So when I think of my skin, it's very, very oily.
Usually, today it's very dry because of that product I used.
But the thing with an essence,
I kind of think of them just like serums.
They have all these ingredients
in a highly, highly concentrated,
and they pack more of a punch in terms of ingredients.
So you get that instant almost hydrating effect
and that instant treatment to the skin.
And for me, essences and serums are really, really great
if you have an oilier skin because they're not moisturizers,
but they hydrate and give us nice plumpness to the skin.
If I personally am going to wear makeup
or I have a client who is extremely, extremely oily,
I will always use a serum or an essence.
I won't worry about moisturizer
because I know you're gonna get enough hydration
and what the skin needs
without having to layer and layer and layer a product.
So, that's what I'm doing with my skin today.
Of course, I absolutely have to go in with some sunscreen.
This is from MISSHA again,
this is the Aqua Sun Gel SPF 50 PA++++.
So extremely, sorry, it's 'cause I'm in natural light
it has trouble focusing on products.
So extremely, extremely high protection.
MISSHA again, their sunscreens
is one of the only sunscreens I use.
Look at the texture.
And I have used this one before,
so it's nice to have a top up.
Now, what I like about MISSHA sunscreens,
and actually Korean sunscreens in general,
is, I think I've said this a lot before,
is they're not what we imagine sunscreens to be like.
So they're not that thick, heavy, you know,
sitting on a beach and your mum's applying your sunscreen,
sunscreen, you know, that layer of pure white.
They're almost like a lotion,
so you lose that thickness and that tackiness
that you usually get from the sunscreen.
Even now, I can't feel that there is a layer of sunscreen,
but I have a highest protection on my face.
Perfect, that's exactly what I like.
If you live in a really hot place or a really humid place
and you really like to wear your sunscreen,
which you should be, great options are Korean sunscreens,
especially the one's from MISSHA, these ones are amazing.
Sorry if I get like phlegm-y in my throat,
I just had dairy and you know, lactose intolerant,
but I refuse to let that ruin my life.
Okay, so we actually have a lot of options for eyes today.
I've been spoilt with choice.
So we have the Color Pattern Palette.
These are so cute.
I love a good small, compact, like, travel around product.
This brand in particular is really great
at making these kind of products.
So we have more neutrals, which is nice.
And we have the Drunk In Love,
and we have the Love Card palette.
And again, some more neutrals.
Now these are my absolute favorite.
I think I featured these, did I feature these?
Ages ago? I can't remember.
We have the Multi Cube.
So we have All About Candy Pink.
So these are amazing because you have the four eyeshadows
on top here, and then right underneath you have your blush.
And then we have All About Chocolate,
which is a really nice brown.
I might actually use this one, tone,
and then have a small peachier tone blush under here.
So we'll start with the Love Card palette.
And we'll go for the shade here.
This is called April Sunshine, it's just a very nude nude.
So when I think about natural makeup
and keeping everything, I guess like wearable,
I think about sculpting the face
and adding highlight and shine to the face
rather than adding loads and loads of product.
So what I'm doing right now
is I'm just gonna sculpt out my socket,
almost like we are contouring my socket.
And I already have my eyeshadow primer on as well,
but I used a tiny little bit
and I just buffed it out with my finger
to give it a really nice creamier natural finish.
Now I've kind of sculpted that out,
I'm gonna use the same brush
and I'm just gonna buff up and outwards.
I haven't put any extra product on my brush,
I'm just buffing out what's already there.
And I'm going to dip into number three
from the All About Chocolate palette,
which is this dark brown.
And on me the face shape, the eye shape that I like
is more of a winged out, pulled out look.
I find that my eyes seem quite close together
because I have quite a thick bridge of a nose
and quite a thick nose in general.
It's nice to lighten up this area
and pull out my eyes a little bit more
so I don't look like my eyes are really close together.
So with a darker brown.
I'm just gonna kind of start in that corner.
And again, kind of sculpt out that shape.
So I'm doing like a triangle.
I always call it like a cheese wedge.
Wow, I really should have plucked my eyebrows, hey?
I'm just gonna take that through the socket,
up round this corner here.
So all we're doing, we're not trying to do.
It's hard to describe, we're not trying to do an eye look.
We're trying to sculpt the eye.
So it's not so much like an eye look,
it's a suggestion of a shape.
So I'm gonna go in with the All About Candy Pink
and I'm gonna take a number two.
It is almost like this pinky tone
with a little shimmer to it.
Shimmer's fine if you're doing something natural.
Like glitter, maybe, is a little bit like a lot,
but I can't see a problem with a little bit of shimmer.
I'm just gonna use that on the whole lid
just to neutralize my lid color now,
because I still have a little bit
of my darkness showing through on the inside corner here.
And you can customize this color
to whatever tone you want to use.
So whether that be a light beige, more of a brown tone,
wherever you want to do, whatever you want your,
kind of your like, your main color to be,
I guess, on the lid.
Now I'm gonna go into the Petal Pattern Palette.
That's a mouthful.
I'm gonna look at shade number one and shade number six.
So number one, which is a light beige,
I'm taking on a pencil brush and, like I said,
I wanna pull my eyes out a little bit
and make them not so close together.
And one way we can do that
is by lightening the inside corner.
So I'm gonna start.
Right, I'm gonna have to do it with my have so you can see.
Right in here.
Just by brightening up this area
we start to get a lot of light bouncing off there
and it opens the whole area up.
That's something you can do
just to wake up your eyes in general.
And I'm just also gonna drag it under the eye, just here.
Here you go, nice and bright.
And I'm just literally tapping that
into any crevice I can find.
And don't worry about adding too much or too little
'cause you can always just go over it and blend it out.
I'm not really gonna talk about my foundation,
'cause see like you can use whatever.
I'm not using the full coverage again,
just using something really natural
just to even out the tone underneath the eye.
(gentle music)
Just tapping into those areas that are darker first,
blending that in.
And once all that's blended in,
take what's ever left in your brush or your finger
and you can take that across the rest of your eye.
So good coverage, but not over covering.
Oh, did I forget the darker brown?
I forgot the darker brown in the other palette, didn't I?
Yes.
So I'm just gonna go with the same brush we used before,
and I'm just gonna take number six from this palette
'cause it's a bit deeper
and I'm just going to concentrate that
on the outside corner here.
A small, small, small, small amount.
Again, just a shadow of color.
Foundation again, I'm just using a really natural foundation
with hardly any coverage.
And don't get me wrong, natural doesn't always have to mean
you don't wear foundation, or you don't wear something.
I just, that's just what I like to do.
I'm gonna start by pushing it into the areas
where I need a little bit more coverage.
So for me, it's on my cheeks.
So with a foundation I'm not looking to cover blemishes
or anything like that.
I'm just aiming for those main uneven areas,
and I'm pushing and tapping that product into the skin.
Okay, so let's get some life back into his face
before we finish up the eyes.
I'm going in with the I'M MEME All About Contouring.
So these are great contour shades for lighter skin.
I think I'm gonna struggle a little bit,
so I'm gonna use this one in the corner here
just to add that little bit of shadow around the edges here.
Got like a patch of beard hair
that I should have really trimmed before.
You get the idea.
And I'm not going too heavy with this.
Again, we wanna be quite natural.
So I'm just gonna shade in the temples
and just around the forehead.
And just by using like a fluffier brush,
you know, you're gonna get more of a natural finish.
And I'm gonna go down the side of a nose slightly.
So I'm gonna go in with another one
of my absolutely favorite brands, this is a MACQUEEN,
and this is the Apricot Peach Love Summit blusher.
MACQUEEN is an incredible, incredible brand.
Drugstore prices but amazing, quality products.
I'm actually gonna use their pencils today,
their pencils are one of my favorites.
And from reading the comments in the last few days,
a lot of you have discovered their pencils
and love them also.
Just to add a little depth back to the cheek
and give a little bit of brightness also.
Listen, I'm not a snob, but I just feel like you shouldn't,
if you're gonna argue with your partner,
don't do it really loudly in public.
Okay, so I have two pencils from MACQUEEN here.
As you can see, one's a little bit more of a metallic brown
one's a little bit of a deeper brown.
MACQUEEN is one of my absolutely favorite pencils.
So I would like to keep the eyes quite bright.
So I'm gonna take, for more of a metallic gold-y brown first
and just gently line the eye.
I'm not gonna add any shadow or anything to the bottom here,
I'm just gonna let that pencil do what it needs to do.
And although it's dark,
because it has that metallic shine to it,
it's still allowing a bit of light to bounce off.
I'm going in, just as you would regularly apply a pencil.
And I hold it just at an angle
and just go over the lashes here.
If you do get these MACQUEEN pencils,
when you put a lid on, make sure you really push it on
because they are so creamy and they set so well
and they last so long when they're on the skin,
but that means that they can dry out quite quickly
if you don't put a lid on properly.
So do just be careful there.
So with the darker brown,
I'm actually just gonna tight line my eyes.
So I'm gonna draw in the lash line up here.
I know that may be a little bit squeamish for some people.
And then I'm also gonna use the dark pencil
just to line the outside corner only.
I'm gonna use the same brush that we used
to smudge out the bottom just to gently smudge out the top.
Okay, and then I'm gonna finish up the eyes
with some of the MISSHA 4D mascara.
I've actually never tried this one
and I've never tried mascara from MISSHA.
So we'll see how this looks.
Okay. The brush, yes, okay.
I always appreciate a brush like this.
Focus.
Because it's very close together, very dense,
very densely compact,
which means it's gonna drag your lashes through the brush.
So I'm gonna zigzag and roll through my lashes
so I can get all the benefit from the brush.
Oh, wow.
I don't know if you can see,
I don't know if you can see how just massive they just went.
Let's see how it does the other side.
My lashes this side are ruined, so.
Oh, I love that mascara.
This is a really, sorry if the light's just changed,
the sun just came out unfortunately.
That's a really nice mascara,
it gives the lashes a really good lift.
Wow, they look huge. (laughs)
Okay, good.
So the last product we're gonna be looking at today
is the Pep! Balm.
I actually have a few of these already
and they're basically like multiuse balms.
So you can use them on the cheeks,
you can use them on the lips and on the eyes.
And it's quite dark,
it's not really the color I would usually go for.
So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna use a tiny bit
on the cheek and the lips.
So I'm gonna take just a blending brush
and the smallest amount.
I'm gonna add a little bit of color to it inside here.
I quite like the bleeding mouth look.
I know it's not for everyone, but.
Hmm, okay.
So, 'cause this is a little bit deeper,
what I'm gonna do on my cheeks is actually got underneath,
just here with my finger,
just to give that almost like an extra depth
to that cheek bone.
It's actually quite natural.
It comes out and it looks quite strong and intimidating,
but when you actually apply it,
it looks really nice and natural on the face,
on the skin even.
Face, yeah, I guess it's a face.
Oh, I've got a hair hanging out my nose.
Has that been there the whole time?
Okay, so I just moved back a little bit.
This is our finished and natural everyday look.
We have natural skin, natural eyes.
We have a little bit of definition,
a little bit of lift with a pencil.
This is really something that was quite heavily requested.
I think are our versions of natural
kind of change amongst everyone, if that makes sense.
So my version of natural is, or everyday I should say,
everyday wearable is maybe a little bit more than this,
but you know, I would be happy to go on camera
with just something like this,
very neutral, not too much going on.
Still got some shape here, still got some definition.
Skin's looking nice and clean.
Not perfect.
People don't expect perfection on your skin in real life,
but they also, but they do expect it on camera.
It's very strange, but no one's gonna look at your skin
and be like, you know, "I can see everything."
But yes, I hope this was helpful for you,
I hope you learnt something.
Thank you again to Stylevana for sponsoring this video
and sending me these incredible, incredible products.
So happy to add these to my collection
'cause I hoard K beauty like nothing else.
