- Today, we're in New York City,
and we're gonna make a full face and nails
of custom makeup.
I am so excited to try custom makeup because hello,
who does not want their own custom blush,
foundation, concealer, lip gloss, lip pencil, nail polish?
This is truly my dream.
- Hi, I'm Giella Poblocki of Giella Custom Blend Cosmetics,
and this is one of our New York City locations,
where we custom blend all cosmetics on the spot.
From BB cream, foundation, mineral powder, blush,
cheek tints, nail polish, skincare,
everything made up for you.
- The cool thing about custom makeup actually is that
you know every single ingredient that goes into it
because you're watching it
literally get made in front of you.
- Custom blend has really become the new standard.
People have so many allergies,
and it's really important that we can choose
the right ingredients that go into their cosmetics.
Today, we're gonna do a full face
of custom blend for Chrissy,
and we're gonna start with foundation.
- Finding foundation isn't very fun for me
because I'm just like really pale all the time
and very dry.
- I would recommend a foundation in a cream formula
that would be really hydrating for her skin,
and we could add soy or shea butter to it.
- She has this like beautiful shelf of colorful jars.
She just literally went through it and was like,
this powder and this powder.
She looked at me and said immediately,
you have a blue undertone.
I have no idea how she knew that and I still don't know,
but it's some sort of magic that only she has.
- Now, I'm gonna add a little bit of high def
pore minimizing, gonna add some soy butter.
- She had the tube sitting in a hot tray,
and then she mixed them together as they heated up.
Once it got to the right consistency,
she swatched it on her hand and she got it right
the first try, which is insane to me.
Feels so smooth.
And she got this cool ass compact
and then poured it in.
It's me, it's my liquid skin.
When I wear blush, it's like, oh wow,
you are like hot pink,
or it's like nothing's there and I look the same.
- Based on Chrissy's hair, eye, and skin color,
we don't want to use something that's too muted,
so her pink is gonna have a little bit of depth.
- Like a fresh, dewy woman,
but with a little bit of heat to her.
- I think it would be nice,
seeing that Chrissy is a little bit on the drier side,
to use one of our cream to powder cheek tints.
Fuchsia and white will make a light pink.
Add just a drop of wild ginger
just to make it a little bit earthier.
- Watching her mix all the pigments together was
so fucking cool.
It was like watching an artist
do their work in front of you.
They're like showing you how they got to where they did.
They're showing you how they got to their masterpiece,
which in this case is makeup.
I'm ready. - Smile.
Give you a beautiful blushing rose.
- Am I a flower?
And then poured it into a tiny compact.
This is me, getting created step by step.
I'm also gonna get a custom lip pencil made,
which is great because I love a good matte lip.
I wanted a nude-y natural color that had a hint of brown,
purple, pink in it.
Ooh.
I am a beautiful matte lip baby.
Maybe a tiny bit more pink.
- Beautiful.
- This is it. - Isn't it?
- This is me.
And then she poured the colored pigment into the pencil top.
It hardened, and then she pulled it out
and it had this perfect pencil tip.
Oh my gosh. It's so beautiful.
I also am gonna finish it off with a little bit of
early 2000s glitter gloss because hi,
we're making custom stuff here.
We're gonna get some glitter out of this, right?
She took basically like a clear sort of gloss base.
Then she took three different types of glitters.
- And you can even add aromatherapy.
Vanilla, peppermint, orange.
- Ooh, I want fresh. I want peppermint.
Oh my god.
This is like my teenage dream coming true.
This is nuts.
Oh my god, it's so pretty.
It actually looks more adult than
I thought it would in my head.
And then, she threw it in, and now it's
just this super beautiful, good smelling lip gloss
that I will have forever and cherish.
I never have bare nails.
I have them painted all the time
because I'm obsessed with nail polish
and I'm here to finally make my own
and I'm so stoked.
- This spring, it's all about color pops,
so we're seeing real brights of pinks and oranges and reds.
- Took a little squirt here, a little squirt there,
a little red, a little orange.
- And then, to really brighten it up,
we added the yellow,
and then, we'll suspend it.
- This is art, artist at work.
And then, she mixed it all together in this little cup,
and then she was like, do you like this color?
And I was like, yes, you got it right
on the first try again.
She put it into this little bottle
that had two little balls in it.
And then, I had my perfect coral-y red
that I always wanted for spring.
What? It's freaking done.
I think that custom makeup is so worth a try.
I think especially if you have
a really hard time trying to find your shade,
and it is cool to know what is going into your products.
One of the cool parts about making custom makeup
is you get to name them.
Reminiscent of the 2000s in my favorite color,
Limited Too Part Two.
Very hot right now.
