Hello, everyone.
Welcome back.
We have a reaction video for you today.
We are looking at some TikToks, Instagrams, whatever
it is you have been tagging me, in
all the socials that appear on your screen now,
you just @ me in things that you see.
Go ahead and tag me the worst things
you see and the best things you see.
Just leave a little @,
you don't need to, you don't need to...
Okay, let's see what we have today.
"Five makeup trends that are not elegant.
Overlining your lips is just very
obvious and it looks silly.
You can get away with a little bit overlining
the bottom lip and make it look a bit
more seamless, but mostly it's just a clown mouth.
I don't understand why everyone is
so obsessed with having ginormous lips.
Normal sized lips are beautiful, and it
is proportionate to your particular face.
Gelled upwards eyebrows or any weird eyebrow trend.
Bushy, wild brows were never elegant.
It can be trendy, it can be fashionable.
It is not elegant.
Again, normal eyebrows, maybe a little
bit filled in, are perfectly fine.
You don't need to do anything crazy with it.
Unnaturally bright eyeshadows.
It's one thing if you are a makeup
artist or you are a model for photo
shoots and product promotions, this is fine.
But then some girls rock it
on a random Tuesday afternoon.
Even for an evening look, it is too much.
You can love colors.
You don't have to put it all on your face.
Buy a beautiful, colorful painting, put
it on the wall and enjoy.
Excessive contouring.
There is a new way of applying contouring every week.
I think people are running out of ideas
on what shape they can turn their faces.
Completely unnecessary.
And it looks absolutely hideous in real life.
Up close, with natural lighting.
It can look nice in the video.
You will never look good with
all that contouring in real life.
Massive eyelashes.
Whether it's extensions or lashes on adhesive,
it make your eyes look very heavy.
It hides half of your eyes.
The minute those extensions start to
go sparse, it looks awful.
And honestly, at this point, it is a very cheap look.
If you want to have longer lashes, pick
very natural looking lashes, cut them in half
and apply them just to the outer corners.
It will look a lot more flattering and elegant.
If you want to become a classy, chic and
sophisticated lady who always looks effortlessly put together, who

I think I'd rather eat [___].
Listen, we can't say who, what...
Okay, first of all,
normal lips is what to you?
Normal size lips is what to you?
The pictures that you showed there are normal size?
So if somebody has bigger lips, that's, in
your opinion, grotesque and not normal size?
Choose your wording a little bit better.
If we're talking about elegance as well, I think this
whole video is in no way elegant at all.
I think an elegant thing to do would be
to say that people's choices of what they wear
on their face is totally up to them.
How they apply it, could be
questioned, which is what I do.
But to say something like, people can't wear a
certain color eyeshadow on a Tuesday is so stupid.
That is such a ridiculous thing to say.
This isn't the 1920s anymore.
This isn't even the 1970s. People are changing.
People's ideals are changing.
The colors you choose to do
your makeup is absolutely fine.
Do whatever you want.
Application techniques can be improved, but if you want
to wear lime green, neon green on Tuesday afternoon
to go shopping, then please absolutely do.
And you know what?
Team it with a blue lipstick. Do it.
Sorry, but normal sized lip really got to me there.
So ridiculous.
That's really ridiculous.
And you can absolutely overdraw your top lip.
She says that you can only overline your bottom lip.
You can absolutely overline your top lip
in a way that isn't obvious.
She's chosen, obviously, extreme, extreme examples,
which, again, in those examples, the
makeup's probably done more for online.
The contour I do get. Contour can look dodgy
in real life if you don't do it properly.
And a lot of the things we see online
don't tell us how to do it properly.
So I do agree with that in a way.
But again, to say somebody is, like, classless or not
elegant because of the way, or the colors they
choose to do their makeup is a little bit insane.
Like, someone could look at this lady's hair
and be like, that's actually not that elegant,
or someone could look at what she's wearing.
Elegance is an opinion, and her opinion
elegance, you can buy from Amazon, so.
"So I saw this video.
More makeup makes you look worse if
you don't study your features in depth.
She had her duets and stitches off, but
I want to give my two cent.
What really helped me was understanding
what features can handle more makeup.
A good rule of thumb is if you
have a feature that's sharper or more dominant,
it can usually handle more makeup.
Whereas softer features or more round features
will be better accentuated if you stuck
to that softness and roundness.
I'm going to use my face as an example.
I can't get away with super sharp contour.
I also don't look great with super sharp lines on my
face, and that's because most of my features are rounded.
But I can wear more eye makeup,
and it doesn't overwhelm my face.
I can get away with doing thick
brows, and it doesn't necessarily overwhelm anything.
It's not the one feature you're looking at.
There's a reason that the full glam
2016 makeup doesn't look good on everyone.
And if you're accentuating every feature, then the
ones that should stand out often get lost."
I 100% agree.
This is a thing as well.
If you're going to contour your nose and your cheeks
and do, overline your lips, and do everything like that,
it can get a little bit overwhelming, and everything does
kind of just get mushed up together.
There used to be this rule ages ago in makeup, which
isn't a thing now, where you choose a feature, right?
You chose your eyes to be a standout
feature, or you chose a bold lip.
And now we can most certainly do both together.
That trend isn't a thing anymore.
And that came from a panic of looking too much or looking
like you're wearing too much makeup, which, again, isn't
much of an issue for anyone now. We love makeup.
We love doing everything like that. But then we also get lost
in the tips and tricks that we see online and think that
we need to implement all of them in one go on our
one face, which you can absolutely do again, but do it in
a way that is complementary to your face.
That's 100% correct.
So this comes around, I swear, like every year,
we had that French makeup artist guy do it
before with the dots all over his face.
This is something that you learn, a lot
of people learn while they're studying makeup.
I did a video on this back in... was it 2001?
A while back, before my channel has
as many subscribers as it is now.
I'll link it below and I'll flash it on the screen now.
And it's basically an exercise that's taught
so you can understand color theory and
make it easier to see people's undertones.
And what you do is you take your
primary colors, or false primary, as some people
call them, yellow, red, blue, right?
The undertones of everything apart
from cayenne and magenta... cyan.
We'll ignore those for a minute because you
can do it with red, blue and yellow.
And then you take black and white, so your
two shades, so you can tone it down, whatever.
I personally like to start off with,
you'll see this in the video.
If you go and watch it, with what I
think my undertone would be, or more prominent, so
there's more yellow prominent in my skin.
Although I'm surprisingly neutral, which you
wouldn't think looking at my skin.
I start with yellow, then you can add red, then
you can add blue, then you can add white or
add a bit of everything and mix it up.
And you can add black and white, red,
yellow, depending where you go from there.
And you just look at it and match it to your
skin, and you just think, what do I need more of?
Am I looking too red? I need to add yellow.
Am I looking too yellow?
I need to add some red, maybe
some white, maybe a bit of blue.
And you just go from there.
But it's just our primary colors make up every color.
All that effort for like, a temporary result.
Listen, great entertainment.
Great entertainment there.
Please don't make your own products.
I think I covered this in the last one.
Please don't make your own things and
then put it on your skin.
You could burn your skin.
You could damage your face.
Everything could go wrong.
Especially your lips, they're so sensitive.
I once used that lip primer from L'Oreal.
I tell this story all the time, and it physically burned.
Something happened to my lip.
It burnt my lip.
It was... not burnt.
There was like a white patch on my lip for ages.
And the skin looked like a blister almost.
Painful.
When you're making your own product, you
can't measure the results of how much
of that ingredient you're putting in.
So if you use too much chili and you're
allergic to chili or something like that, or you're
allergic to something in certain amounts, then it's going
to ruin your face.
Could potentially damage you.
Please don't do that.
So there's a few reasons why
you can disregard that information instantly.
One, because they're using a mirror.
Completely different from our face.
It's like when people put foundation on fruit.
It's not the same as our face.
It's not the same as skin.
A mirror isn't going to hold onto
product like our skin does at all.
Also, in terms of coverage, and
they've used like, a black pen.
Unless you have a pure black spot on your face,
then that isn't a good comparison for you, because a
lot of things can be neutralized out instantly with a
tiny bit of foundation or a tiny bit of concealer.
So, again, it's not a good test.
Let's not do this anymore. Come on.
"I can't be the only one who hates their bottom lashes.
I can't watch.
I can't look at that.
I can't watch that happen.
Why? Why?
I'm disturbed.
That's disturbed me.
That's not correct.
That can't be right.
That's, that's not... that can't...
Why is no one stopping this from happening?
I can't even imagine.
You can just ignore them.
You don't see them when
you're wearing makeup that much.
Just don't put anything on them. Don't cut them off.
Eyelashes aren't just a beauty thing on our face.
They're there for a reason.
Please don't. What the...
Oh, God.
I feel unreal.
I feel like I can't believe I've just seen that.
Urgh!
Okay. Oh, my God. Are they okay?
I hope they're okay.
Thank you so, so much for joining me.
