Hello, lovely people.
And welcome to a much requested video.
How I do my everyday vintage makeup.
An updated version from two years ago?
I'm gonna be showing you the products I normally use
and how I actually stick it on my face.
Also, it's kind of just an excuse
so I can play with the Besame new Sleeping Beauty Palette,
because have you seen it, it's beautiful.
Disclaimer, I am not a beauty channel
and if you've accidentally stumbled across this video,
thinking that I know things, I'm not a beauty guru,
please don't hold me in such high regard.
I hope it will be useful, and if not at least entertaining,
as I take you through this.
Because you know what's cute, this look.
You know what else is cute, fiscal responsibility.
Yes, that's right, I'm going to teach you some tips,
about how to be responsible with money
through the medium of a makeup video.
It's educational, it's fun and you're going to enjoy it.

Like daily suntan lotion protects your face.
I mean, have you seen me? Im the color of a sheet
Yes, this is indeed an incredibly thick
50 SPF suntan lotion,
that normally one would put on the body,
and yes, I do put it on my face.
That was too much.
It's fine, I'll put it elsewhere on my person.
I just love using incredibly thick suntan lotion
as a primer, because I think it just does
good things to my skin.
And also my makeup just looks delightful
and really does stay in place.
Next up, foundation, and before I go any further,
I should also menton the fact that,
I know some of the brands I used are not cruelty-free,
it's MAC, I'm looking at you.
However I am transitioning all of my makeup
to being cruelty-free brands, because I have allergies,
and life is fun that way.
I basically have to make sure
that I don't put anything on my face
that will cause it to become bright red and bleeding a bit.
Allergies, they're fun.
If you also have eczema or skin
that really readily reacts to things,
please do leave me brand names down below
of things that you use and you found to be really helpful,
because I could really use the advice.
I have a slight issue when it comes to foundation,
that you may have realized just by looking at me,
which is that, my hands and my neck
are in no way the same color.
I love when people do the little patch test thing
on the hand of foundation and they're like,
yeah. Yeah, that matches.
Have you seen this?
Yes, my neck is rather yellow
and my hands are quite pinkish, as is my face.
It's 'cause I have thing called PoTS,
it's a condition where your blood just doesn't work,
you can find out more actual explanation in the card above.
So I take some kind of yellowy foundation,
and add in a bit of pink concealer
to attempt to make the shade of me.
For a really vintage look,
we're gonna go for a very full coverage.
You don't want anything, no tiny blemishes, no freckles,
although freckles actually can be quite cute and vintage.
Anyway, I don't have freckles to make cute.
(pleasant music)
And voila, I know, it looks slightly lighter,
because there is a massive light shining in my face.
But I promise you, it does genuinely match my neck.
So there you go, and remember, compare your face
to your neck, not your hands,
just like before you sign any new contract,
you should always use comparison websites.
Money saving tip, see, I told you so.
Time for concealer, because my face
wasn't pale enough as it was.
And it's also time to ask, what could you be concealing?
Is it your tax returns, if so, uh-oh,
time to get an accountant.
At the beginning it is very easy to file
your own tax returns, but as you continue,
oh gosh, do you need someone professional.
It may seem like an unnecessary expense,
but it really does help in the long run.
You don't want to get taken to court.
(pleasant lighthearted music)
All right, eye primer, now, if you like me,
have eyelids that go somewhere when you open our eyes,
I mean, can you see my eyelids, I can't.
They're not there.
Then you'll probably have also tried
every single eye primer under the sun,
and found that they don't.
The only thing that I found that works for my eyes,
is to use concealer and eye shadow,
but you have to put it on when the concealer's wet.
But this means I get to open, the Sleeping Beauty Palette.
[fairy dust sfx]
Based on the book that appears
in the original "Sleeping Beauty" film,
which apparently is huge and this is like
a teeny, tiny, version.
And there we go, I now apparently have the color
of Princess Aurora's legs on my eye.
You know what else has legs, the make-do and mend attitude.
Sometimes, it can actually be cheaper
to have your clothes altered or fixed by a tailor,
than it can to just actually buy new clothes.
Time for eyebrows, and oh yeah, I've got this far
without mentioning them, yeah, these are my eyebrows,
this is how they grow, I don't even pluck them,
it's just a, they just started falling out.
[music]
Vintage eyebrows are generally very thin,
quite, is full the word?
They don't tend to have gaps, that's full, right?
Yah, and always with a lovely arch, which...
We'll get to.
(bright bubbly music)
Yeah, that's as much at they grow,
so let's fake some niceness shall we.
I would advise that you follow your own brow bone,
but as my wife pointed out
in that wife does my makeup video,
you don't have a brow bone, it's just mushy really.
So I just go with, whatever shape I'm making that day.
I try and make it look the same.
I'm a big fan of the eyebrow pencil.
Both because it just sort of screams vintage to me,
but also because I don't have to learn
how to do that modern thing with the brush and the fade
and the front and you know.
Nic and easy, is how I like to keep my makeup.
You know what's nice and easy, using this eyebrow pencil.
You know what else is easy?
Making a free appointment with your bank
to discuss how to raise your credit score.
In some countries, England, getting a credit card,
buying some stuff and paying it off fairly quickly,
raises your credit score.
However, in other countries apparently
that's not a good thing to do.
Basically, don't read any advice online.
Irony.
Go to your bank because they actually know stuff shockingly.
Back to eyeshadow and I've decided to go with,
wait, where are her eyebrows?
Brows, Dust 107.
Wait, I changed my mind, I then swatched the White 107
and decided that actually, that's really gorgeous,
it's the skirt of her peasant costume.
Thanks to my lovely little monolids,
I find that the easiest way to put eyeshadow on
in a very precise, quite vintagey way,
is to use a very small angled brush first,
and then a better blending brush to blend it out.
You want to concentrate most of your shadow
on the outer eye.
And then with the delightfully fluffy blending brush,
just blend that all out.
[music]
Alright, we're then gonna put even more
eyeshadow on my face.
This time from this lovely Sleek palette
that I have used quite a lot.
And as you can see this is my favorite.
Gonna be very careful, precise, neat and blend afterwards.
Using an arch as we go up.
Trying to find the kind of natural curve of your eyeball.
Don't worry if it looks really really messy, life is messy.
Life lessons with Jessica, it's going well.
All right, now we've outlined our eyeballs, time to blend.
(bright lively music)
Moving onto eyeliner, the only one I have found
that is really actually waterproof enough
to stick to my eyelids.
So this is really fun,
because I'm very blind in my left eye.
So I have to be able to see over my nose
with just my right eye, and it's a big nose.
You know what else is a big no?
Having a really drafty house,
because it's terrible for your energy bills.
You can buy really cheap insulation kits online,
you don't have to replace your entire window,
it's a really cost effective way of keeping down the price.
Moving on to mascara, this one is a real favorite of mine,
because the wand bends and that just makes it
so much easier, in my mind, to use.
All right, eyes done, time to move on
to that little rosy glow that your cheeks can give you.
[music]
So after I've blushed under the apple of my cheekbone,
I then tend to push down with a lighter powder on top of it,
just to give it a nice little blend,
so we have no sharp lines.
Yeah, I'm just bashing myself in the face, I know, I know.
You know what else will bash you in the face,
the tax man.
If you're self-employed,
remember to have a separate bank account for your tax money.
And just put 1/3 of all of your earnings in there.
And don't touch it ever, ever, ever, ever,
ever, ever, ever, ever.
Unless there's an impending zombie apocalypse,
in which case, money means nothing anymore.
Onto bronzer, I actually use just a little bit
around the hairline,
because it makes the rest of my face glow quite nicely.
My angled brush, just sticking the tip in there.
[music]
Now finally my favorite thing, lipstick.
I am utterly obsessed with Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour.
And this new Matte Ink version.
Why did I not know this existed before, it's just,
you put it on your lips, it's so easy to apply,
because you know, wand.
And it genuinely just stays there no matter what.
I really had to try hard at getting it
off my lips last night for about 10 minutes.
You know wat else we should try hard at?
Talking to others about finances, difficult, I know.
But our friends and family
can sometimes have really great tips.
All right.
(bright bubbly music)
Ta-da, the finished look.
[fairy dust sfx]
There you go.
Here is my everyday vintage makeup.
(bright bubbly music)
It's the makeup I wear everyday as I work from home,
so I guess that makes it my business look.
I hope you've enjoyed this video
and my sort of financial tips.
Most important thing though,
is to not just read things online or watch videos.
But to actually speak to an expert about money.
I'm not a money guru or a beauty guru,
I just wanted to make this video for fun.
And to give me an excuse to play with this makeup.
Also I'm just trying to help,
because really sadly, we live in a society
where things are very unequal,
2/3 of my generation will never own a home,
that's mind blowing.

This is why I have to get fed lines

Really close now, aren't we?
