Hello, everyone. Welcome back.
Thank you so, so much for joining me.
We have a reaction video.
Let's just get straight into it.
Tag me in anything you see online, on my socials here.
If you haven't already
and you watch my videos a lot, do just
check that you're subscribed, if you want to be.
I'm starting to do a lot more videos on Mondays now.
I'm gonna do more reviews and tutorials on Mondays
and leave the Wednesday, Sunday videos for things like
this and other things.
And let's go.
What I have on my face will be linked
down below in the description box for you.
"Right, this creator is curling their lashes upside down.
She then curls them the right way and puts
mascara on and they just, like, stick straight up.
Looks so long.
If there's one thing I am, it's always down
for a beauty experiment.
We'll do a side by side, this side all curled the way I always do.
Do the ends, then move down more towards the root.
Mascara.
I'm going to do my go to. The MAC Stack Waterproof.
And I'm just doing like, one, two quick coats
so it'll be easy to see the difference.
Okay, let's bring it on down.
This is so weird.
How is she holding it like this?
I think it's like holding my eye
open and air is going in there.
It's freaking me out.
Okay, it's in there.I'm squeezing.
I think the goal is to make it
stick, like, straight out at the root.
Okay. Like that.
Then go in now, okay, regular.
Okay, moment of truth.
Are we sticking straight up? We are.
Really nice lift. I will say there's like a small dent,
but it is certainly sticking straight up.
Oh, my God. It's sticking so straight up that I'm
just putting it right onto my eyelid."
I have a theory about this, right.
So I would always tell people if their eyelashes were really,
really curly, like super tight, curly back, and we wanted to
apply false lashes on them, I would curl their eyelashes upside
down to kind of, and then gently tap outwards to kind
of just lay them down a little bit.
Now, my theory as to why this might
be working in some way is hand positioning.
I know that sounds really strange, right?
But let me explain what I mean.
So when you do, like, let's take say, for example,
eyeliner, one eye is always going to go perfectly well.
We can lift our hands up like this.
But when it comes to doing the other eye and we
have to kind of lean across, our hands kind of naturally
can't go up in the same position
as easy as this, we kind of have to like...
It feels different, okay.
So when we're teaching a makeup, a good
tip is always to start with your worst side.
So the side that like, for example, for
me, this side is really easy with makeup.
For this side, I consider it my worst
side because for some reason, my hand movement,
it just doesn't work out quite as right.
So we always say start with your bad side and
you can match up your good side to the bad
side easily because you're better at doing the good side.
So it's easier to match, it's easier to copy.
So I think it might be something to do with pressure
and things like that because there's no reason as to why
that should work.
When we're holding a lash curler.
This one, I can get it quite good.
I can get the pressure really well
and it's quite tight against my eye.
But something feels like a little bit off.
And when I go to this side,
it feels a bit more comfortable.
I can get a really good squeeze.
And see, look, this one is pointing up more.
So these are false lashes, but this one
now is straight up, whereas this one isn't.
I did exactly the same thing, but my theory
is, you can see they're going straight up, whereas
this one still has that curve to it.
So my theory is with that, is people are
unknowingly doing their good side and bad side.
You know what I mean?
Now, we can make this lash point up a little
bit more, but I need to be a little bit
more intricate about where I'm placing the lash curler.
In my mind, I'm thinking about getting the
lash curler closer to the lash line.
Look, and now we can make it stick straight up, whereas this
one, I can just go in and pinch it and it
makes them stick, and it makes them stick up.
I hope that made sense because as that artist said in
that video, there's a little bit of a dent there.
So there isn't really a reason for you to have
to do it that way to make it any better.
That's my theory.
And that's from teaching people makeup.
Their sides are always different.
Things go better one side, pressure is better one side.
They can brush a brow in the
right direction, better on one side.
These lashes feel really weird now.
It's a really strange thing that
happens, but it does happen.
I have a few questions.
One question is, was waterproof products used before?
Because even when you use waterproof or water resistant and
you steam it like that, you will get a tiny bit...
you see on the brows, like the dripping down,
you'll get a tiny bit of thingy.
Now, this isn't a new concept, steaming the face.
People would always say, do your makeup and then get
in the shower and shower from here down because it
will help to set your makeup a little bit.
But to that extent, I find a bit
puzzling because surely when you're tapping and pressing,
it will move the makeup around.
I've been in situations where we've done makeup
in a sauna, for example, for shoot reasons,
and you do have to quite keep up.
You have to retouch a lot.
And that was really a sauna.
You're steaming your face.
So I do question that slightly.
That lip at the end is so beautiful.
What an incredible, incredible lip.
This is something I might have to try because
part of me is like, no, no way.
And then to be tapping it so freely
and blending it around and nothing happening.
And that nose contour was very
much in place and not moving.
I don't know.
I wouldn't recommend it, but there
it looks like it worked.
But we did have a bit of smoothing
going on with the camera, et cetera.
I love that. Beautiful.
Should we try it?
I got the e.l.f ones. This is the blush.
This is a blush Candlelit. Let's try.
Let me blot my lip.
It'd be nice if you can make a product two in one, right?
Oh, my God.
Oh, wow. Okay.
Oh, I love that.
Oh, my God.
Holy sh*t.
Oh, my God.
Oh, I wish you could see that in real life.
Oh, that's beautiful.
Are we going back to these 90s frosted lips?
Because I don't mind.
I really like that.
You know what? I wonder what that would look like with one of
the highlighters on top?
And it's drying down quite nice.
Okay, that ruined it. Ruined it.
Took it too far and ruined it.
I do like that, though.
That's a really nice color.
Wow.
"DIY concealer, your perfect shade finish.
Take your current foundation shade and
mix it with a translucent powder.
This creates the most buttery
concealer texture in the shade..."
Okay, let me...
when products like, when you do that, when you mix that together, when
it dries down, it does not look good. I'm sorry.
Especially if you're putting it under
the eyes, it looks dry.
You're adding powder to a product to
make it a little bit drier.
You're better off just putting your foundation on
there, even if you're using a lightweight one.
Warm it up on your hand.
Make it warm.
Adding powder is like adding, I don't know.
It reminds me of, like, oatmeal.
Like, you're going to mix oatmeal with a product.
I really don't think that's a good idea.
It might look good, like, then and there, but...
And then blending it in, in all those areas,
it's going to look a bit powdery and cakey.
So I actually think this is a really cute idea.
And we've looked at this before.
One thing I would say, though, is to make sure
you get a good a good, like, kind of complementary
color, because it can look orangey, and sometimes it actually
does just look like you haven't washed your face and
you've left, like, bronzer on, or you left fake tan
on and it's gone a bit patchy.
You also need to bear in mind that when it comes
to adding fake tan onto your skin in general, a lot
of the times it's a good idea to exfoliate before.
If you don't do things like that, your skin
can look patchy, the tan can look patchy.
So do just bear that in mind.
It's a good idea, but prep.
Prep correctly.
"No.
No. No, no, no, no.
Exactly."
I found this video really interesting and
not so much because of the video.
The video is very good, very factual.
And I went through the comments, right.
Because I very rarely go for comments on TikTok,
even on my own, because what a place.
But people were like, makeup's
makeup, it has no rules.
Don't tell me what to do, and all this kind of stuff.
And I was so confused because this video
really is a great way on how to
use this product for the best results.
I find it really strange when people buy something and somebody
says, this is an amazing way to use it if you
want the best results from it, using it this way.
And people go, don't tell me what to do.
It's like buying Sky TV and only watching one channel
and somebody being like, you know, you have like 500 other
channels and going, don't tell me what to do.
TV has no rules.
This person is giving you really amazing advice.
Don't take it personally.
Anyway, what she's showing here is
how people typically apply primer. Why wouldn't you?
It's like a face cream.
It feels like a face cream.
All this other stuff.
This specifically is Poreless Putty Primer from e.l.f, which
is made to help to kind of smooth out
skin texture, pores, and things like that.
What she does at the end is she warms
up the product, which is a great thing to
do with makeup, foundation, whatever makes it more malleable.
And she rolls and pushes that into the skin.
Now, the great thing about rolling and
pushing means that you're almost... imagine, like,
magnify the skin, close up.
Pores, pores, pores.
Like those hair adverts that show you things.
Anyway, now imagine just wiping past.
You might miss things.
You might like chip a bit, not quite
get the whole pore.
When you're rolling and pressing, you're pushing that
product onto the skin, keeping it in place
and therefore achieving a more smoother look on
the skin, on the nose.
Any larger pores.
It's a really, really good technique.
I don't know why she's getting flak in the comments.
It's so weird.
Baking is such, like a terrible
thing to happen to people.
This is why I never suggest that baking
on really important occasions, your wedding, a birthday.
What else is something? Something else.
Because you need to be really, really careful.
You need to make sure it's all brushed away properly.
We've all seen those celebrities that turn
up or to red carpet, they look
like they've been sniffing something.
It's more than likely actually just powder.
You really need to be so, so careful that it's all...
Because a lot of the time you can't see it to the
human eye, especially if you're doing it in a yellow lighting,
like a hotel room or a very dimly lit room.
Not that your makeup artist should be doing your makeup in
a dimly lit room.
But it's very obvious when it isn't done correctly or brushed away correctly.
That's why I think it's so important just
to stay away from it for those occasions.
All right, well, thank you so, so much for joining me.
I really do appreciate it.
Like I said, tag me in all my socials.
Let me know what's happening out there.
Subscribe, give this video a thumbs up, and
