Hey guys, it's Tina here.
Welcome back to my channel.
In today's video, I'm going to attempt to do
a full face of makeup using just foundations.
Recently, I was sent the entire range of the
Nars Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation.
Let me open it up for you.
This is what it looks like inside.
There's 33 shades in the Nars foundation range.
These are the three full sizes that I got.
So since I received the entire colour range,
I thought it'd be a cool and fun idea to try to do
my makeup using just foundations.
And because I do have a pretty wide colour range,
I thought it's totally doable, it's possible
I'm going to attempt to do it today.
Now, one of the trend predictions for 2018,
from the Pinterest 100
is that you're gonna see a lot of brands
that are gonna be much more shade-inclusive
meaning they're gonna come out with more foundation colour,
and the range is gonna be bigger,
You know the Fenty Beauty range?
Everyone was raving on about the 40 shades in her range,
I feel that a lot more brands will follow suit with that,
and hopefully we'll see a lot more range for everyone,
for women of colour,
if you're light, you're dark,
hopefully it will cover the entire scope.
Let's talk about the new
Nars Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation.
This foundation will be launching in Australia this month
and you can get it at MECCA for $71,
Alternatively, I think it's already available in the US
at Sephora for $49.
So what's so special about these?
This is their new 16 hour fade-hesitant foundation.
It's got a nice, fresh, sort of like natural finish to it,
it has a medium to full coverage.
I've actually used it a few times and I do really like this foundation,
it doesn't feel really heavy and cakey on the skin,
and you don't need a lot of product to get good coverage.
Now, the shade I'll be applying on my skin first
is FIJI.
I'm just going to give it a good shake,
like you would with most foundations
and then just pump, maybe about two pumps
on the back of my hand, just like so.
And I'm just going to sort of like, dot it on
more towards the centre of my face, because that's where I
have more things to cover up.
With this foundation, you can definitely just use your fingers
to blend it because the warmth of your fingers
will help melt the formula into your skin.
So I'm just going to use like small circular motions.
Now if you're wondering,
this foundation is great for all skin types,
it doesn't contain oil so if you're worried
because you have like, oily or combination skin,
this foundation should work fine.
Also, if you have dry skin types, it doesn't really cling onto
any dry bits and make your skin look cakey, which I love.
I'm then going to buff the foundation into my skin with a brush.
Just really quickly, make sure everything's blended out nicely.
I'm going to grab a lighter shade, SALZBURG,
and just use it underneath my eyes
and pretty much use it to highlight.
This is actually so good to have in your makeup kit
if you're a makeup artist, you can have all these like,
little sample-sized products and your kit won't be as heavy.
Just gonna dot it underneath my eyes.
And I'm going to blend it in with a brush.
This is gonna be, like my concealer.
For my contour shade, I'm gonna be using the shade TAHOE.
And yeah, I'm going to use it to contour, so
I'm just gonna pretend it's a liquid contour.
Just going to use my fingers for this.
Gonna pop it on either side.
And I'm just gonna blend it out.
Totally made it too thick.
See how this shade is kinda turning up a little bit more
warm and orangey, I think this makes a good bronzer colour
not so much a contour colour, so I'm gonna use another shade.
I'm going to try this one.
This one is BELEM.
Hopefully it has more of like,
a neutral undertone, or even a bit more
on the pinky side.
Yeah, this is a better shade.
Grab my beauty blender and just
give it a nice blend.
I'm going to contour my nose with the same shade.
Just be super light- handed with this.
I'm gonna grab a lighter shade,
just a little bit of this, DEAUVILLE.
And I'm just gonna pop it on the bridge of my nose,
just to highlight.
Here's a closeup of what my skin looks like.
I'm going to quickly just powder my T-zone
because I don't want that area to budge too much,
so I'm just gonna pop a little bit of translucent powder
just over those areas,
and over my eyelid and brows as well,
cos we're going to do brows next.
For my brows, I'm going to use the darker shade,
this is MALI.
I'm going to, hopefully
be able to fill in my eyebrows with this.
I've just popped a dot of it on the back of my hand
and I'm gonna use a, like an angled brow brush to do this.
This is the first time I'm using foundation to fill in my brows,
so wish me luck.
Alrighty!
Here I go.
You know what? The colour,
The colour totally works.
Just going to lightly,
blend that colour forward.
Just really softly because I don't want it too dark.
To clean up the edges of my brows,
I'm just going to use that same colour I used for my foundation
and just clean this up, make it more crisp and clean.
And there you go, this is the end result of my brows!
Wow, look at the difference!
I could totally get away with using foundations on my brows.
Let me quickly do this side,
and then I'm going to apply foundation onto my eyes.
Hopefully to create a nice eye makeup look.
For my eyes, I'm going to go into this medium shade.
This is VALENCIA.
And I'm just going to kinda like, apply a wash of it all over
and, see how it looks.
Pop it on.
And grab another brush to buff the edges out.
So far, it still looks fairly natural.
I'm gonna go in with a deeper shade.
I'm going to use MACAU to add depth to the outer corners.
Just gonna slowly build it up here.
And just bring it into the centre.
And then buff it out.
It's starting to look more like eyeshadow now.
I'm gonna pop that same shade underneath my lower lash line
just bring it out and connect it up with the top,
just run it back and forth.
I feel like I can go a little bit darker.
I'm gonna use this shade.
This is NEW CALEDONIA.
Just gonna pop it on the outer corner.
Grab my other brush and buff the edge out.
I'm gonna add a little bit in the inner corner as well.
Just bring it up to the crease and connect it all.
I'm liking how my eyes are looking,
but I feel like it just needs a pop of highlight
so I'm gonna go in with a slightly lighter shade,
This is PATAGONIA.
I just want to pop this on the centre,
and kind of like blend it out with my finger so it's not too obvious.
Yeah, just so that there's a bit more dimension
you can see like a light bit, the dark corners.
I'm going to go into the darker shade, MALI,
and just sorta like, line my eyes and define it a little bit.
I'm just gonna stay really close to my lash line,
and pretty much use this as, like a dark brown eyeliner.
Time to curl my lashes!
And I'm gonna pop on some lashes.
This lash is called Inspire.
So I've just trimmed these lashes to size,
and I'm just going to pop them on top.
This one is a new style from my brand, Petite Cosmetics.
It's in the Luxe Range.
So, both of my lashes are on.
I'm gonna give it a few minutes to dry and then move on the next step.
Remember that colour that I used before that was too orange?
I'm going to use that as a cheek colour.
So I'm gonna pop TAHOE onto my cheeks.
Oooh.
I need to buff it out a little bit.
Yeah, that can pass as a cheek colour.
Just pop it on, and then buff it out.
It's like an orangey blush.
Final step is lipstick.
Oooh-hooh!
I obviously have to do, like a darkish lipstick
for it to stand out, otherwise, I'll just look really washed-out
if I go for a skin tone one or my skin tone one.
So... let me see.
Okay, what colour, should I do this colour?
This colour?
Or this colour.
Hmmm....
Maybe I'll start off with this colour first and see how that looks
and then, if it's not enough I'll add a second colour on top.
So this one is BELEM.
I used that one before.
Hm.
I think this colour works, it kinda looks just like a darkish nude.
Once it mixes with my natural lip colour,
I feel like it kinda looks like an orangey-brown,
like a nudey orangey-brown.
I could totally picture Kylie Jenner having this colour.
I think it goes really well,
I mean 'cause everything's brown and neutral, right?
I feel like I might pop a bit of a lighter colour in the centre of my lips,
uh, I'm going to pop in this, VIENNA,
VIENNA colour.
Just... a little bit of it.
Just to, add a bit of dimension.
Or like, it kinda looks like it's shiny but it's not.
Almost looks like I have gloss on my lips now.
But it's just foundation!
Alrighty, this is my end look,
using just foundations and lashes, of course
but everything else, I used the foundation colours from the Nars range.
The brows actually look like I've used a brow pencil or a powder or something.
And look, you can just see my hands,
thats how many shades I've used,
I've just mixed a concoction of colours here to create this look.
But, you know what? It's actually, totally wearable,
and it doesn't even look like I used only foundations to create this look.
I'm impressed with myself.
Now, you can see that my skin does look nice and glowy,
it has a nice sheen to it so it kinda looks like I've applied highlighter,
but I haven't.
That's just the natural, sort of, glow and finish of the foundation.
It honestly looks really nice on my skin.
I don't feel like it's too heavy,
it doesn't really feel like I have much on, to be honest, besides lashes,
I don't really feel caked or heavy,
so I really like that.
Also, because there are 33 shades in this range,
I don't think you're gonna have too much trouble finding your foundation shade,
I don't think I could have achieved this look,
had the range been more limited to maybe like a 12 or 15 shade,
so I'm really glad that they are shade-inclusive,
and hopefully, a lot more brands will follow suit.
Now, if you wanna see more full-face challenges,
either using another brand, maybe FENTY Beauty,
or Lancome, they have 40 shades as well,
or even... what about lipsticks?
I've seen a few YouTubers try to do a full-face of makeup using lipstick.
That would be quite the challenge.
If you want to see that, please let me know below,
and that's it for now!
Thank you so much for tuning in!
