(slick trap beat)
- Hey y'all.
Now I'm gonna need my glasses, 'cause now I'm blind.
(upbeat hip-hop music)
Hey y'all, it's Marsai Martin and today,
I'm going to be walking you guys through on
just all of my glam must-haves, like, everything I need
to keep in my bags or just whatever,
whatever it is, I'm just gonna spill it all to you guys
today, so, yeah, this is The Drip.
So, when the BET Awards come to mind, I think of all of the
amazing and fun times that we have had
but mostly all of the looks that I did
in the past for the BET Awards.
So we're gonna be just walkin' down memory lane.
(laughing)
Okay, um, this look, okay, it was my very first
BET Awards, right, and I just felt like
a busy girl, I was like, oh my gosh, I have to go
to this red carpet, I have to look my best, you know?
I'm a Leo, so I always bring Leo energy
and I just, I just needed to look my best, you know?
So, we had like a two hour mall run and I ended up getting
this cute little black dress and I thought that
was really cute and we had our own little fitting
in our living room and I didn't have a stylist
at the time so we just went to the mall
and tried to find the best that we could.
How far I've come in the fashion world now,
just seeing those type of looks and seeing, um,
just, what I was like back then is really sweet to see
and very memorable, for sure.
Okay, so this one, it was my very time
being with an actual team to help me pick out my clothes
and yeah, I mean, you can still tell, it's kind of,
there's still ChapStick and lotion kind of moment
but just maybe a little bit of mascara
and with this I was actually really excited for the mascara,
I'm not gonna lie, and I felt good, it was exciting.
I actually had a little bit of heels,
like, it wasn't that tall but it was, it was enough
to where I felt like I was, I was doin' something.
I was like, I'm walkin' in these heels.
And I was very proud, I'm glad I convinced them
to give me a heel, for sure.
Oh my gosh, okay, oh, 2019!
This look, I actually liked a lot.
I've always wanted to a gold look, I feel like I,
at this time I was getting a lot of just different prints
and stuff, but I never did like,
like a silver or like a gold and I kind of
just wanted to do something like that
and no, with this one, I was very excited for it
and also nervous, too, not gonna lie
because you know, I got a body
and I never really, you know, I was a little scared
for the arms 'cause you know, I got,
I got a little gun show you know what I'm sayin'?
So, I thought I, I felt good!
And this day was also very chaotic,
mostly because I became a meme.
Honestly, I can't help my facial expression.
That's just it, you know.
I was like, oh no!
My publicist was like, girl, you became a meme!
And I was like, what did I do!
So now I'm gonna be showing you guys
all of the things I bring to red carpets
and different events and it's some must-haves,
things I need to like, you know, complete the overall look
and usually, yes, I have a bag with me.
But the main bag is the mama bag, so.
Thank you mama!
This is the mother bag.
'Cause she is bougie like me.
So first 'cause your phone be dying very quickly
at these events because like, my phone will at 100%
and I get there and it's at like, 12.
Somehow, people also need a portable charger
because sometimes this is constantly shared
like a piece of gum in the classroom.
Two pairs of glasses.
I can't see, like, at all, like I can't see y'all
but you know, I need to show off the makeup and stuff, so.
Just in case I change for anything
or something happens to my other pair of glasses,
I always bring two with me.
These definitely are a must, too, but you know,
you never know, right?
We also have a pair of comfort shoes
because a girl can't be in heels for too long.
Lotion, here, I won't show you the brand, just lotion!
Sponsored by no one!
(laughing)
This is one of those things that you tape onto your wardrobe
just in case you have any wardrobe malfunctions.
Which constantly happens, like, you'd be surprised
at how many times I've had like, any wardrobe malfunction.
We also have, you know, I'll show this,
'cause why not.
Pattern!
The edge control, we love you Tracee!
Your edges can get frizzed up pretty quickly,
and my hair is super thick so it can be like, zoom!
And let me see if I have my baby hair brush in here.
Oh, dang, this is a lotta stuff in here.
Oh, here we go, I found it.
Just when I was about to give up!
Yes, baby hair brush and edge control is what you need.
We got hand sanitizer 'cause now we in a panoramic
and that's very much a need, you know?
Gonna be shakin' everyone's hands, and yes,
we got a vaccine and all that but you gotta still stay safe.
Our ChapSticks, but usually at events we do lipgloss
as well, 'cause now we have upgrade,
we're now in the lip gloss phase, so we got our cute little
Fenty here and we usually like to do the clear gloss.
You know, there could be a lot of stuff
that happens at these red carpets
that no one knows about, you know?
Look cute or whatever, but you may have a headache,
or a stomach issue or just something, and, you know,
no one would ever know.
Because you got a mom bag like this, you know?
I would say my three must haves for the night, I mean,
I don't know, I mean, this is the first time we gonna really
be out here out here, you know, since the pandemic.
So I would definitely say I'm looking forward
to the performances, and yeah,
I mean, I wanna meet people, you know,
I'm getting more, you know, since I've been
in the house, I wanna talk to people now,
like, I'm very, I wanna be social.
Wanna be like, hey, what's up?
Like, your music changed the situation
that I've been in in this entire pandemic, you know,
like, I wanna get into that and I hope that people that
are there and the different types of performances,
you know, they're top tier and I'm very excited to see.
I can't wait, I can't wait for sure
but it's crazy to think that like, it's this young
energetic little soul from Little Elm, Texas
is now in this space so, I'm excited
and hopefully I don't become another meme,
but you never know, maybe I will with the facial expressions
that I have, you know, I can't stop 'em, so.
Whatever happens happens and I'm just, I'm grateful
just to be there, you know?
All right, guys,
so now that I've taken you down memory lane,
went through my mama bag, and just the overall
thought process on how I do things,
I am now just very excited for you guys to see my overall
look for the BET Awards and on the BET stage
and I am so excited, I cannot wait!
So, until then, I will see you guys there,
and I'm Marsai Martin, and you got my drip.
