Hello everyone. Welcome back.
Thank you so, so much for joining me.
So as you can see just before we get into
the video, new background, it's a little bit plainer than
it was before but I needed to do this.
The background tat was like getting too much
for me, to be honest with you.
We'll get to know it.
Anyway, I'm sure a lot of you like
me, don't really like change, but I felt
a bit overproduced to like nowadays climate. Anyway.
Okay, let's just get straight into this video.
So the other week, if you follow any of
my other social media platforms, you would have seen
that I had the most amazing opportunity to actually
in person meet Selena Gomez herself with Rare Beauty
to celebrate the launch of her new lipstick collection.
Now this is the PR box with
the Kind Words lipstick and lip liners.
And these are all the lipsticks and lip liners inside.
So the Rare Beauty team kind of gave us a little
bit of a challenge as content creators to come up with
an idea of some content to film with Selena herself.
So what I did was I did three face charts.
I had these amazing face charts from this brand.
I'll leave the link below for you because they're already drawn
out and all you do is put the makeup on.
I've had them for so long and I've wanted to use them.
So I thought, let me do some face charts
and I will get Selena to recommend a lipstick
for the look using her lip products.
So what I'm going to do is recreate
all three of those looks with Selena's recommendations
and I'll put those in just now.
Okay, so I'm here with Selena Gomez herself,
celebrating her new incredible lipsticks and lip liners.
So, I have a little challenge, nothing crazy. You know I love a visual aid.
So I basically have three face chats that I've drawn, and I just want you to
make a lip combination for me to go with this look.
And then I'm going to recreate them when I get home.
S: Oh, my God. Okay. R: Okay, so we have this one first.
I've done like a black and a halo'y kind of smoky eye.
And I just want a lip to go with his look.
S: Okay. Let's show them that. Beautiful.
I think I would suggest going with
Yeah, Wise. R: Yes.
Like a nude but a bit of color. S: Yeah. R: Beautiful.
Perfect!
Next one. S: Yes.
R: So this is more of a colorful cut crease. S: Oooh.
R: I was going to say natural but it's green, so it's not at all.
S: It's very... let's show them.
Ooooh.
Fierce. R: Very orange cheeks.
And what kind of combination are you thinking for this one?
S: I'm thinking
Talented! That's what I wore yesterday. R: Yes, this is a good one,
because I like my lips to be like, hardly anything.
S: Yes. R: So this with a bit of concealer around the edges,
beautiful. S: Beautiful.
R: Now, the next look is the only one I've named.
This is called Bloody Mabel. S: Oh!
R: And I've gone for something with a little bit more
personality for this one. S: Oooh, fierce.
R: So what are we thinking as a lip for this?
S: Oh, this is tricky. R: Yeah.
S: Because we could go bold. R: Yeah! Or nude, or whatever.
S: I think we're going to go bold with, Strong. R: Beautiful.
Perfect. S: This bold color, it's so pretty.
R: So pretty. Well, thank you so much. S: Thank you darling.
R: I'm going to recreate these at home, and show everyone!
Thank you so much, it's so good meet you. S: Thank you!
Let me just say something about meeting Selena.
For those of you who don't know, I filmed
a video with Selena Gomez over Zoom at the
beginning of this year to celebrate Rare Beauty launching
in the UK at Space NK, which is where
you can get all the Rare Beauty stuff here
if you're in the UK.
I'll leave US and UK links below for all the products.
That was great anyway, meeting Selena online, I guess, not in real
life. She was instantly kind of like, just calming.
It felt like really, really nice to speak
to her. Meeting her in real life, and here's why
I love Rare Beauty, right?
Another reason why I love Rare Beauty.
The way Selena seems incredibly invested in this brand, her
own brand, compared to... I don't want to do,
compared to other celebrity brands, but compared to other brands, she
seems incredibly present in her own creation, which I really,
really like. An absolute pleasure to me.
So kind and so nice. So big
thank you to Rare Beauty and Selena for having me.
Okay, so let's recreate this look.
This is the only one I named. As I said in the video.
This is called Bloody Mabel.
For those of you who don't know, Bloody Mabel
is a character from Only Murders in the Building.
Not a character.
Mabel is a character.
So let's recreate this one together.
So this is the first look, and
Selena chose Wise for this whole look.
The pencil is a really nice, almost like, pinky taupe.
I imagine this going well with any
kind of, like, nudes you already have. And this is it
with the lipstick, coming into more Fall, Autumn
kind of nude, this one would be perfect.
Okay, and next up is Talented.
Now, this one, Talented
the pencil, was kind of actually just my
lip color, but a little bit more muted.
So what I did was take the pencil.
I thought, wait a minute, you know how I
like to block out any redness in my lip.
I thought, let me take the pencil and just color
in my whole lip with it to erase the lip
and then put the lipstick color on top.
It looked really nice.
The pencil on the whole lip wasn't drying.
It didn't feel tight.
It was actually extremely comfortable.
Now, Selena did choose quite a bold lip color, which
isn't really me, but I'm going to do it.
I'm going to do it. So I'm going to start off with
the Rare Beauty eye primer first. Oh, my God.
I have, like, five brushes in front of me.
That's not good.
So I'm going to use this to lightly... oh, I got like, flaky bits
in my brows. Lightly carve out my brows.
And then I'll just take it onto the lid just to prime also.
So let me tell you a little bit about
the evening with Selena and how this went, basically.
So we arrived at the place where it was, and I
was kind of nervous because this is my first event event.
Like, I've been to some events.
Oh no, I've had eye poo all this time.
But this was like my first, I guess, beauty event.
Apart from my own masterclass.
So there was a lot of UK influencers I hadn't met yet.
And to be honest with you, I've had
more interaction with influencers based in the US
than I have in the UK.
Just in terms of talking to
them online and everything like that.
So I was kind of like, I was a little bit
nervous because it's like my first day at school almost, you know?
So I messaged Soph before... you know Soph Does Life, and just to
see if she was going, I was like, please tell me
you're going, because then at least I know someone there, because I've
met Soph before, she was on our podcast.
And then I also met her in real life nearer
Christmas last year. And she was, which is good.
Let me tell you how I clung to Soph
like a baby koala on her mother's back.
But we had a great evening. We hang out together.
We spoke to quite a few people.
I met some great, great UK
influencers who you all probably know.
I saw the Rare Beauty team again, a lot of them
who I met when they were in the UK before and
some people who I hadn't met but kind of spoke to
when I was doing my Zoom thing with Selena, and also
the SpaceNK team who I met when I was
doing my masterclass with SpaceNK and Rare Beauty.
So it was a really nice combination of meeting
new people, meeting people who I already knew.
So that was really nice. Had a great evening.
The drinks were amazing.
Took a picture with Selena.
So basically I got there, and as soon as
I got in, they usually have like a few
glasses of champagne and I was like, I don't
drink champagne, but let me drink it anyway.
I'm a little bit nervous, but it
was like my turn straight away.
I think I had one sip of
champagne and they came up to me and
was like, Robert, it's your turn to film.
I was like, oh, my God. Okay.
So I got in there straight away, met Selena and
it was just like meeting a really nice person.
She was incredibly nice.
She was really down for my idea of,
like, creating these looks and so easy to
talk to, so incredibly easy to talk to.
And even watching her interact with everyone else.
So sweet, so kind.
And then I just had a great evening from then on.
I think I drank too much but not in over
the top, like, oh my God I'm so drunk, way.
I don't know why I'm saying this. Okay, anyway.
Okay, so I kind of want to create this
eye look, you know, that kind of like swooping redness.
So just as a little base I'm going
to use Nearly Berry liquid eyeshadow.
These are extremely kind of natural on the eyes.
So I'm just going to use this to kind of
halo and almost outline where I'm going to go.
I did a wear test with these a while back.
They were really extremely long lasting.
It didn't crease once on my whole lid, which
actually I don't really expect cream eyeshadow to crease.
So I'm going to start off with like a base
of this and then I'm going to let it dry
down, and then I'll go in with a little bit
more just to double up that kind of color.
And then I'm going to go over
with a little bit of eyeshadow too.
Oh, and I just want to say something right, which
maybe I shouldn't have had this misconception, but one
reason I was kind of worried to meet other
influencers was because I'm used to working in the
beauty industry, right, before influencering.
I know how bitchy it could be.
And I was going with the thought in mind
that it would be the same and I just
couldn't be bothered for that energy again, you know?
Like I'm 33 years old.
I'm not a child anymore.
I don't want to be in those situations.
But every single person I met was
so nice and had the time for everyone.
It was really, really, really nice.
And I regret maybe not attending
events before because of that reason.
So meeting a lot of people and really
familiar faces as well was really, really nice.
And I didn't meet one person who
was like, horrible in real life.
All really, really lovely.
Okay, now we have this, like, inside.
This is kind of like a signature look for me.
I do this quite often.
So you almost want to take that like, a little bit through the socket.
Like we're doing a halo eye almost
and just bring it right through here.
And this is going to outline and halo the black.
So it doesn't matter if it's too wispy, you know?
Also, today is like the hottest day in the UK, so I'm
filming, it's like almost 7:00 in the morning.
And I'm like filming this trying to beat the
heat because I plan on doing absolutely nothing except
sitting in front of an aircon unit all day.
I was going to go over this, but
I actually think it's dark enough, because I'm
going to go over now with eyeshadow anyway.
So I'm going to be taking the Discovery Eyeshadow palette
and I'm going to take a tiny bit of the
shade Loyal because I want to deepen up these inside
corners but still keep it that like reddy brown almost.
And this looks really good with a gloss on
top, if you want to do something that kind
of neutral but still has a bit of an impact.
So it just adds that slight depth to the look.
We are going to go in with black as well,
so it is going to get more depth.
Okay, now I'm just going to take a
black eyeshadow and kind of sweep it across.
This look kind of has like this sweeping motion.
So good luck to me.
And then I want that kind of
like definite black across the waterline.
So I'm going to take a more tapered brush.
Give that a little blend in.
Just before we go into skin, one thing that
I've been using a lot is the 4-in-1
Always An Optimist Mist
You can see, this is the most I've
ever used, like a spray product since being
an influencer because I have so many.
But I've been using this after my skincare.
Don't worry about the eyes.
And I've been letting it just sit on the skin.
And the reason I've been liking it so much is because
it kind of does what a serum does on my skin
in terms of the way my skin feels afterwards.
It feels plump and hydrated without actually leaving a
layer of anything tacky or anything on my skin.
So I've been using that a lot.
And also after my foundation. I've been doing my
foundation, spraying, and leaving it for like 20 minutes.
And I blot it all very gently
and very slightly and then powder afterwards.
Okay, so let's go in with... oh, no,
where did I just put it? I was literally just holding it.
So we're going to go in with the Liquid Touch Brightening Concealer.
I'm going to use the smallest little... boop.
Boop.
Now, usually I kind of like cut off the eyeshadow
and make it a little bit more... what's the word?
Sharp. But I kind of want this to have like, a jagged edge.
I do have my Rare Beauty concealer brush and foundation
brush, but I haven't cleaned them because I'm lazy.
I really need to clean them though.
So I always just use a bit of concealer,
basically, where I'm really red on my nose here.
And then I always tuck it into these little areas
because they kind of sink in a little bit.
Sometimes they look like this.
So just to add a little bit concealer just
adds a bit of brightness to that area.
Then I'm going to go back in
with Nearly Berry under the eyes.
And this is going to go quite low because
we're going to have black lining the lash line.
And because it's a little bit more of like a dark,
like, gothicky look, I guess, or grungy, I should say.
We can definitely make it look
a bit more like tired eyes.
By the way, the light will keep on changing
a little bit because I have my blinds shut
today because of how hot it is.
I'm trying to keep the outside, outside.
So usually I have like, another light shining on me and it kind of
keeps the lighting a little bit more constant, you know?
Okay, let's go in with that black eyeshadow.
Going to pop a little bit of black
pencil on the waterline.
Okay, foundaton. Of course we're going to go in with
the Liquid Touch Weightless Foundation.
Let me just
shade match myself here.
I've tanned since.
This is shade 210 N, but I'm
actually a little bit pinker than this.
But this is fine for now.
Can add a bit bronzer, blush, everything like that.
And we'll be all good.
No one will ever know.
I'm just going to use one of the bronzer sticks.
This is the shade Power Boost.
And I like this one on me because it's kind of
like, it has a bit more of a neutral tone.
Once it's blended in, it looks a bit
like sculpting rather than bronzing so much.
And one thing I really like, especially about these bronzes
as well, is you can actually draw them on your
face like this and look, they actually blend.
They don't stay in place like some
you have to really keep buffing and buffing it out.
Okay, we're going to go in with
the infamous Soft Pinch Liquid Blush.
And this is the shade Encouraged. I've gone for something a little bit more...
oh, you... oh, my god, you don't
need that much. What's wrong with me?
I'm going to go in with something a little bit more reddy, a
little bit more vibrant to go with this look.
And I'm putting it just above that bronzing stick.
Okay, we're going in with the Positive Light Liquid Luminizer.
And this is the shade Mesmerize.
I usually typically use Enchant, which is lighter, but this
one kind of has, like, a rosy gold finish.
So I think I look really cute with the red.
And I am going in for quite a bit because
I love this, and it never looks unnatural, so.
It just looks like healthy, glowing skin.
I love it.
I love it so much.
Okay, so I'm going to do my finishing up
this look, and then we're going to use the lipstick.
So I'm just going to use a little bit more
of the spray, give it a good shake before because it's...
Okay.
So Selena went for the shade Strong, which is
this incredibly deep, strong lip color, which I don't
usually do, but we're doing it today for Selena.
I might do, like, a bleeding lip
because it is a Bloody Mabel look.
So this is the lipstick itself.
It has this really cute kind of like push action here.
And then this is the lipstick.
It doesn't smell like anything.
Sometimes you get some lipsticks that have, like,
a vanillary sent or, like, an overwhelming scent,
and you can kind of taste it.
I like fragrance in products, but when it comes to
the lip, I'm a little bit like... so that's good.
It doesn't have anything too strong.
Huh?
And then, of course, you have the lip
liner to go with it as well.
These are... oh, are these wind-up?
Oh, they're wind up. Oh, phew.
And yes, the sharpener in the bottom.
So the lip liner, let's just give
it a little try in the middle here.
Ohfff, wow, wow, wow.
That is so smooth and creamy.
There's no dragging at all.
It doesn't drag on the lip.
Like, I didn't even stretch my
lips out or anything like that.
And look, it doesn't drag.
It just glides on perfectly.
Oh, my God.
Cute.
Okay, let's go with the lipstick.
So what I'm going to do is
kind of keep the lipstick quite centralized.
Let's fill in these gaps just here with the pencil.
I love that color.
I was a little bit worried because it
was so intense, and I never usually wear strong color,
but bleeding out like that, beautiful.
Okay, let's get on some lashes, and we'll do
some powder, and we'll finish up this look.
Okay, so this is our finished look using the Strong
lipstick and liner from the Kind Words Lip Collection.
I hope you enjoyed discovering these lipsticks.
They are incredibly comfortable.
I can't even feel it on my lip right now.
They are so soft, so lightweight, but so packed
full of color, even blended out like this.
Yeah, I'm so happy I got to share my experience meeting Selena
Gomez with you and going to the Rare Beauty event.
Like I said, I'll link everything down below for you.
There's different places for the UK and the US.
I think I've definitely discovered a
few new favorite lip shades here.
And it's so nice when a lipstick
doesn't feel like a heavy lipstick.
It's just so soft.
Okay, well thank you so much again for joining me.
Please consider subscribing.
Give this video a thumbs up, and
I will see you very, very soon. Bye.
