Hey what's up you guys?
It's Travis and welcome to lifestyle Monday's, where I try to make your life just a little
bit better every single Monday.
Today I'm going to be telling you guys my makeup tutorial.
Before I begin that, if you're someone who does not like guys earing makeup, then this
is not the video for you.
You can happily click away from this video at this time.
I promise you I will not be upset.
I started wearing makeup when I first started doing YouTube about a year and a half ago.
Before YouTube I never really wore makeup unless I was at a photo shoot, or I was on
set.
I had no idea what I was doing.
This is for people that really want to do a minimal approach to wearing makeup, but
you still want to look as good as possible.
For me personally, I like to keep a natural look.
With that said, let's cut over to Travis in the bathroom where he can show you guys exactly
how this makeup tutorial is done.
Hey what's up guys?
Welcome to my everyday makeup tutorial.
These are the products that I'll be using for today's video.
If you guys want to try any of these products out for yourself, you can do so with the links
in the description section below.
Now that we've got my basic white girl shots out of the way, let's check in on Travis in
the bathroom so he can show us exactly how it's ... Oh shit.
Okay, walk it off, walk it off.
As we first check in on Travis we find him smiling, and waving alone in a bathroom for
no damn reason.
Fucking weird.
Now let's hurry and get some makeup on his face before he starts blowing kisses at us.
Oh shit, we're too late.
The first step to applying any makeup is to exfoliate your skin.
The exfoliant that I use is St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub.
Wet your face and apply a small amount of the scrub to your hands before gently rubbing
it into your face.
You only want to exfoliate your skin once or twice a week, so it's good to do so on
days you're planning on wearing makeup.
Exfoliating allows the makeup to absorb in your skin better, and really maintains the
natural look that we're going for in this tutorial.
After exfoliating your skin, you're going to want to put on a moisturizer to act as
a base before applying your makeup.
The moisturizer that I've been using is the Micro Day Rejuvenating Cream from Neocutis.
Neocutis is a pricier line of products that I've recently started to use, and I really
do love.
You don't need to use expensive products to make your skin look great, just make sure
that the ones you do use have at least an SPF 30 to protect your skin from the sun.
After applying your lotion, the first product we're going to use is Lo real's True Match
Super Blend-able Foundation.
I've been using True Match for a couple of years, and I really love using this liquid
foundation because not only does it even out your skin tone, but it also smooths out your
face and covers your pores to really make your skin look as young and fresh as possible.
To apply the foundation I pour a small amount onto my palm, and then with my finger I apply
it to the area beneath my eyes.
From my eyes I rub outward in small circles to blend the makeup past my cheekbones until
it fades to my natural skin tone.
The color that I use is called, "Natural Buff," because it matches best with my skin tone.
To see which color is best for yours, apply a small amount of the foundation to your forearm
and rub it in to see which one blends in and compliments your skin tone the most.
Once the makeup has been applied beneath my eyes and cheeks, I apply a small amount to
my forehead.
Again, rub it outward toward my temples until it blends in and fades to my natural skin
tone.
The True Match is great for evening out your skin color and hiding any dark circles, or
blemishes you don't want to show.
Using it can add unwanted shine, and lose some of the natural contour of your face,
which is why we move onto the next step of this tutorial.
Cover Girl True Blend loose mineral power.
I used this powder to give my face a slightly bronzed look, which is kind of necessary for
someone like me who doesn't get much sun because I'm usually locked away in my apartment editing
videos for 14 hours a day.
Not only does the mineral powder give color to your face, but it also sets in the foundation
we just applied, and leaves a matte finish to remove the shine that's often left behind
when wearing liquid foundation.
To apply the True Blend, I take a makeup brush and dap the tip into the powder.
Once you've got a good amount on the brush, tap it a few times with your finger to get
rid of the excess powder, and then brush the powder onto your face.
Start from the center of your face over your eyes, then work your way out until you finish
at the forehead.
Once you've done one side, apply more powder to your brush, then repeat the same thing
on the opposite side.
You don't need to use a lot, because again, this is supposed to be a subtle everyday look.
This is the product you have to be the most careful with, because you can go from zero
to Lohan in 2.5 seconds.
Don't forget to apply the powder to your neck because nothing gives away a beaten face more
than a mismatched neck and face.
Once you finish applying the powder, we're going to move onto the final step, the eyebrows,
which I fill in with the Elf eyebrow kit.
There are two sides in the Elf eyebrow kit.
One is liquid for a more extreme brow, the other side is the lighter shade of brown and
has a more powdery texture.
That's the one we're going to use today.
This is probably the easiest step.
You just dab the loose ends of the mini brush that comes with the compact onto the makeup,
then trace the brush along the natural shape of your eyebrows.
Start from the inside of your eyebrows where the definition should be the most defined,
then work your way out to the point where the line of your brow naturally thins out.
To make sure that you don't fill in your eyebrows too much, step back and look at them from
a distance in the mirror.
This is another step that's easy to overdo if you're not careful.
Once you've finished filling in your eyebrows, that concludes my everyday natural men's makeup
tutorial.
