- Hi everyone, it's your girl Jenn,
and today I have the Face of the Month.
I have partnered with Clinique, and I'll be using
their Beyond Perfecting Foundation and Concealer
to show you guys how I got this look.
It is glittery, it is glamorous,
and just perfect for any summer day or night out.
I actually learned this makeup technique
from my girl Sophia, so thank you babe.
I learn so much about makeup from her and she's amazing,
go check her out if you haven't already.
I've also picked out some questions to answer
on Instagram and Twitter, so just come hang out,
grab a snack, get ready with me.
Also, if you are not subscribed already,
button is down there, hit that,
join the family, and let's get started.
Alright guys, my face is cleansed,
it's moisturized, and there's SPF on it,
so now we're gonna jump right into primer.
I'm using this one by Pony Effect,
it is her Ultimate Prep Primer,
and while I apply this onto my face
I'll be answering a question from Dafina.
She asks, when is the wedding?
As you guys know, I am in contact with the wedding planner.
Her name is Jeanie and I know I'm in good hands with her.
So she said our first step is to create a guest list,
so a couple days ago Ben and I sat down together
and we went through, over the people we're gonna invite,
and we want like a relatively small/intimate wedding,
so we want like 100 people max.
So now that we have our list
we're just gonna go back to Jeanie
and we're gonna let her know,
and so she's gonna help us pick the perfect venue
for that amount of people.
As for timing, we're thinking about sometime in 2018.
You gotta book these venues like months in advance,
so ideally we would love to do it in the summer,
but we're open to the fall as well, it all depends.
We're doing our wedding in California,
so the weather should be good either way.
Now I'm gonna move onto foundation,
and I'm using my go-to one as of lately,
which has been Clinique's Beyond Perfecting
Foundation and Concealer, this is only 28 bucks,
and I'm actually gonna use two shades,
because I wanna use one to highlight
and just one to, like, be my natural skin tone.
So I'm gonna go in with Linen,
and I'm gonna use the Doe-Foot applicator
and I'm gonna pop that right underneath my eyes
where I wanna highlight.
I love how precise you can be with this applicator.
This kinda reminds me of, like,
Shape Tape, as I've said before.
So I'm gonna work on blending this in,
this is a medium to full coverage foundation
so you can use as much or as little as you want.
I'm going to a wedding right after this
so I want my makeup to look bomb.
So now that we've applied this layer
I'm gonna go in with this shade, Buttermilk.
I'm just doing a light layer,
because I still want my skin to peek through.
I really love the natural matte finish this has,
and it lasts up to 12 hours,
so it's gonna stick on my face all day.
So now that foundation and concealer are done,
I'm going to set this all down with a powder.
I'm using this one by Pony Effect,
and I'm just going to grab this, like,
flat brush from Marc Jacobs,
and I'm just gonna pat this on my face.
I don't really bake anymore because I just realized
it kinda makes my skin look a little patchy,
so I've been doing this, like, pat down method.
There you go.
Have you thought of any places for the honeymoon?
What is your dream destination for it?
So Ben and I would love to go to
somewhere where we both haven't been,
so maybe like Tulum, Mexico
or even like an island in Greece,
just somewhere warm, and somewhere we can just relax
and enjoy each other's company.
Oh, we would even love to go to New Zealand.
There are just so many places that we haven't been together,
so the options are endless.
If you guys have any ideas
for where we should go on our honeymoon,
feel free to write it in the comments down below.
So as you can see I'm just kind of brushing away
any of the excess off, and now my face is done.
Now I'm gonna move on to the brows.
I'm using this brow styler by Dior.
How did you know that Ben was the one?
Well, that is a really, really good question.
With my previous relationships
the thought of marriage or the idea of marriage
was just very unsettling,
like I just honestly thought I was a skeptic to marriage
because it didn't seem like something I could do,
like, spend forever with this person.
That sounded really scary to me.
But Ben was different.
It sounds so cliche, but I just generally
didn't believe in the idea of a soul mate until I found him,
and it wasn't like an overnight thing,
it wasn't like right when I got together
I was like, he's the one.
It definitely came with time, and I think
as we kept on spending time together
and as we kept on getting to know each other
I just realized, like, woah,
I have never been this compatible with a person before.
Like, I'm the type of person where I like
to have relationships outside of my partner.
I value time with my friends,
I value time with my family,
and I value time for my career,
and with Ben, I know that we both
make each other better people.
Like, we have been living together for like a year,
or over a year, and things have never been better.
'Cause I feel like once you move in with someone,
that's when all the stuff kinda comes out,
and it really tests your relationship,
but Ben and I are very compatible
and I'm so, so grateful for that.
The idea of starting a future with him,
having kids, it sounds exciting,
and I know, I just, I just know that he's the one for me.
Okay, I think that looks fine.
Now that the brows are on
I'm gonna get started with the eye shadow.
This is my favorite part.
I am using Nyx's Jumbo Eye Pencil in Dark Brown,
and I am just gonna go to town on my lid.
I'm gonna apply it all over,
because this is gonna be a base for the eye shadow,
or the liquid eye shadow that we're gonna be using.
And I'm just gonna kind of smooth out the edges a little bit
so they're not so harsh.
I know it looks really uneven right now,
but we're gonna fix that in just a second.
But it is time for the exciting part, the glitter.
This is Stila's Liquid Eye Shadow in Molten Midnight,
and I'm gonna grab this little wand
and I'm going to precisely apply that
right over the dark brown bit.
Damn, look at that, look at that shimmer.
I'm gonna go in with my finger,
and I'm just gonna kind of pat that all out.
Do you ever want kids?
If so, how many?
I would love children in the future.
In a perfect world I would have two kids.
I would love to have, like, one of our own,
like I would get pregnant once,
and then I would love to adopt another one,
and that would just be great,
because they would always have each other
and I know Ben would be such an amazing dad
and I would try my best to be the best mother I could be.
I would say that we are pretty nurturing people
so I would love to raise two kids in the world.
That would be, that would be perfect.
Now that the glitter is on,
I'm gonna really focus on blending this guy out,
it looks like a hot mess.
I'm going in with Kat Von D's Monarch Eyeshadow Palette.
I'm gonna go in with this dark brown shade right over here.
I'm gonna grab a little bit of that,
tap off the excess,
and I'm gonna focus on blurring out the outer thirds.
I don't know about this, this looks a little crazy.
See if this helps out.
How do you maintain such a cool cheerful attitude
while being so busy?
How do you manage social and work life
with your cray schedule?
I've definitely mentioned this before,
but I am a crazy, avid planner.
I love to just schedule everything on my phone
and on my happiness planner.
If I don't do that, I don't know
how I would keep up with everything.
It just keeps me sane,
so that's how I'm able to juggle my social and my work life.
As for my attitude, it absolutely fluctuates.
I'm not always happy and cheerful.
I know a lot of you guys are under the impression
that I'm like constantly happy, but,
I have my, like, I have deep mood swings,
and I don't think I've ever mentioned that,
but my highs are like soaring high,
like I feel so happy when I'm happy,
but when I'm feeling down,
sometimes I can get into a very, very dark, dark place.
And the last thing I need when I'm in that dark state
is to record that and have more
judgments and opinions about me,
because I'm a very sensitive person,
and when I'm at my darkest points of my life
I just, I don't really feel like documenting that
and I think that's fair.
I know some people see it as an outlet
and they like to connect with their audience that way,
but for me when I'm feeling down
I just need to be alone, and be around people
that understand the full context of my situation.
And I think that's fair, I don't think that's being fake,
I don't think that's being inauthentic.
I think it's just being more particular
in what you choose to share to the online world.
And then I'm gonna go in with that same
taupe color right over here,
and I'm gonna just put that all over my under eyes.
Okay, I'm gonna go in one more time with this glitter
as like, the last hurrah of shimmer,
because I think some of it got lost
as I was blending out.
Now for my inner corners I'm gonna go in
with Colourpop Summer Loving.
I'm gonna just pop that into the
inner corners of my eye,
and this is just gonna brighten everything up
and add even more glitter.
Alright, very happy with the way that looks.
So now I'm gonna give myself
a classic cat eye using Kat Von D's Tattoo Liner,
and I'm not gonna speak while doing this
because there's no way in hell I can talk
and do a straight cat eye,
so I'm gonna go quiet for a second.
Pretty severe wing, but I think we're fine.
I think what I'll do is I'll just smoke it out
underneath a little bit more,
so it just kinda goes with the tail a little better.
Now I'm gonna get started on the lashes.
I'm gonna go in with the Shiseido Full Lash Mascara.
What weird food combinations do you really enjoy?
So I have the habit of putting kimchi on everything,
Ben always thinks I'm really strange when I do it,
but I just can't help the fact that it tastes so good.
Like for example I love kimchi and Shepherd's pie,
that's bomb.
Kimchi and spaghetti, that's delicious.
So now that mascara is done
I'm gonna go in with some falsies.
These are by Velour.
So now that my lashes are intact, I'm gonna contour.
I'm using this palette from Lorac.
I'm gonna go in with the light contour,
and then I'm just gonna start givin' myself some cheekbones.
Oh, wow, that is very dark
that is, that is too dark.
Okay, how do I fix this?
Oh my gosh, oh God.
The beauty blender saves everything.
Okay, okay. (exhales loudly)
So, FYI, light contour isn't so light
with the Lorac palette, okay.
So while I do the other side
I'm gonna answer this question.
This is from Monica, she asks,
what should you do if you're feeling lost with your life?
Cough, asking for a friend, cough.
The last time I felt the most lost in my life
was when I was in community college.
I got rejected to all my dream schools,
I was stuck living at home with my parents,
and that was actually when I started
my YouTube channel with Sarah.
I used all my feeling of angst and discouragement
and just feeling lost, into a creative outlet,
and I found myself because of that.
So I think if you're feeling lost
you just gotta do things that make you more self aware,
you gotta learn about yourself a little bit more.
So whether it's journaling or filming
or creating art, something in that field that's gonna
make you just get to know yourself a little better,
you will find the meaning.
If you seek, you will find.
For blush I'm using this one by Hourglass,
this is my first time using it.
It looks very, very beautiful, looks like the world.
This blush is very pigmented as you guys can tell.
I'm gonna go in with the beauty blender
and hopefully this fixes this as well.
So the moral of the story is,
your beauty blender can literally fix anything.
All your makeup mistakes.
So blush is done, and now we're gonna highlight.
I'm using this one by Dior,
this is their Dior Skin Nude Air Luminizer.
Everyone is going bonkers over this highlighter,
so I'm excited to try it out.
(laughs) Wow, I like.
I like a lot.
Oh yeah.
Do you like being called Korean or American?
I consider myself a Korean-American
because even though I'm 100% Korean by blood,
I was born and raised in Los Angeles.
The strange thing is that I'm considered
a foreigner by both sides.
In America I'm considered a foreigner because I'm Korean
and when I go back to Korea,
they see me as a foreigner because I was born in America.
So it's a very interesting position,
Korean-Americans, or any like minority, has,
when they are born in America,
and luckily I am happy with who I am
and I have like, a community of people
who are in the same boat as me,
so I never feel alone, it's just interesting.
So the last step is lipstick.
I'm using Colourpop's Screenshot.
This is kind of just like a good nude,
I love Colourpop.
Alright everyone, this is the finished look.
I think this is perfect for any summer days or nights out,
any time you just wanna feel a little extra glam.
I'm actually heading to a wedding after this,
so I think this makeup is gonna be (clicks tongue) for that.

and I'll see you guys in the next one.
