Hello, everyone. Welcome back.
Thank you so, so much for joining me.
We are watching. it's been a long time since
I've done a reaction to just a YouTube video,
but today we are watching Kendall Jenner's Guide To Sun
Kissed Makeup. A bit out of season.
I'm a bit late on it, but
I don't know when these things happen.
And this is from Vogue India.
I just had to jump in here and say, I'm so sorry
my eyelashe is falling off on the inside corner.
I've wore this pair of lashes for so long
that the glue that dries no longer wants to
sit on the inside corner of my lash.
So I'm so sorry you have to see that.
And now you're about to see me talk
about how much of a professional makeup artist
I am with my eyelash falling off. Here you go,
enjoy the video.
Just before we get into that
today, if this is your first time here, hi, welcome.
My name is Robert.
I'm a professional makeup artist here on
YouTube and also in real life.
I have just over 16 years
experience as a professional makeup artist.
Not so much experience as an influencer, but I've
only been doing it for, like, three years.
So I was a makeup artist before I was an influencer.
Just for those who don't know me.
It's my goal here to help you become a pro yourself
or just someone who's really good at makeup.
And as I always like to say in my reaction videos,
although I do forget sometimes.
Creativity and individuality have no rules.
But makeup artistry does have a theory, and
these videos are for people who maybe have
followed tutorials online or got advice from online, and
the makeup doesn't quite work.
I'm here to kind of debunk what works just on
camera, what just works online, what works with low upload
quality, what works with lighting, and how it works in
real life and how practical it is in real life.
So that's what we're gonna do.
Let's just get straight into it.
Do, please consider subscribing, giving
this video a thumbs up.
Yeah, let's go.
"Hey, guys, it's Kendall.
Watch me do my goto sunkissed makeup look.
So I've already washed my face.
I'm gonna do..." I just want to say straight up,
I don't know whether they have to set up the
camera themselves in this kind of situation, but I wish
the camera was better quality for a makeup video.
That's all I'm going to say there.
"... small amount of prep before I start my makeup.
I'm going to start with daily defense mist.
It's hydrating, and it says
it has environmental protection.
I kind of overuse sprays.
I don't know if there's even such a thing
as overusing sprays, but I use that. Moisturizer.
To make my skin feel really glowy and hydrated.
After I use that other spray and put on my moisturizer.
I also like to use some rose water."
Okay, a few things.
I'm not a skincare expert in any way.
However, I do know how to prep skin for makeup.
I also adore sprays.
I have this one here from, I can never say it.
Caudalie. Is that how you say it? Caudalie. Which I absolutely love.
I also love the one from Rare
Beauty, which is this one here.
You give it a good shake.
And I love them as primers.
I love setting sprays as primers.
Hydrating mists as primers.
Something about it, knowing that you're going to have to
keep your makeup on for a really long time and
knowing that you're doing makeup on yourself or on a
client and you're not overhydrating to a point where the skin,
where, sorry, where the skincare interferes with the makeup.
Is nice to have that canvas sorted and
done with skincare, but not overdoing it.
And it is so great to see her
not dripping her product onto her face.
Granted, two of them are sprays, but it's
so nice not to see the drips because
that way you overuse products because you're not
really focusing on how much you actually need.
You're just dripping, dripping, dripping.
One area is usually good for
the whole face when you drip.
"And then last, I'm just going to throw
on a little bit of my sunscreen.
We're going to be out in the sun today.
It's new."
Just want to say as well.
Even if you're wearing makeup and even though your
foundation may have SPF, it's never enough SPF.
Always use an SPF or a sunscreen.
And... uh, I clapped so much into microphone. Sorry.
There are loads of sunscreens right now that you
can use that aren't that typical, on the beach,
your mum putting it on your face sunscreen.
They're made to be... they're made to be?
They're made to work extremely well with makeup.
Glow Recipe do that watermelon one, which
is absolutely beautiful under makeup. Who else?
Fenty have their incredible sunscreen,
which sits amazing under makeup.
Especially if you have a drier skin.
You can get these beautiful textures that
aren't overwhelming and greasy on the skin.
I know me, sunscreen makes my face
feel sweaty, and I'm very oily.
So to have something that's serum-like sits perfect
under my foundation.
"I am all sunscreen up.
I am moisturized, and I'm about to be misted even more.
Perfect.
Okay, now my little moisturizing prep is done, I
can start my light and simple Summer look.
I really like to use this Georgia Armani Face Fabric.
I've been using it for a really
long time, since I was pretty young.
One of my sisters put me on.
It's literally called second skin makeup.
It doesn't feel like you have makeup on at all, so I
just do, like, a little dab, and I honestly put it on
with my fingers, kind of like I would my lotion.
But this stuff is my ultimate."
Now, Kendall is very lucky that
she has beautiful skin already.
Most celebrities, most influencers are extremely lucky to be
able to get facials and things like that.
So it's very nice to be able
to not apply that much foundation.
The method of using your
hands like this, absolutely fine.
With that amount, I wouldn't go crazy and put loads on.
Although there are people out there that do that but
don't really in real life, let's be real.
One thing,
it does sound a bit dry.
I have really dry hands because I've
just washed them about 20 times.
Not in one go, but like in like the last 25 minutes.
It did sound a little bit dry.
So maybe get a little bit more product on there.
And instead of rubbing around like that, I would
really push into the skin just because, for those
people who want a little bit more coverage sorry,
I should have said that. Just because moving around
will do exactly that, it will move the foundation around.
So to be able to push into the skin
is a little bit more of a full coverage
method, if you do want that coverage.
However, if you do just want a tint,
I don't see an issue with this.
However, I would go around and tap just very lightly
around with my fingers afterwards just to ensure that I've
got it even. Especially in these areas here, that you don't
tend to be able to get into when you're doing
this and just make sure there's no streaks as well.
"... go to.
I was talking to one of my sisters the other
day and she was like, you still use..."
Just like she was doing just then, did you see she was using a finger
and she was going around all those little bits. Perfect.
"... that you've been using it your whole life.
I'm like, I know, I am a creature of habit.
And then take we just take my Beauty Blender." Beautiful.
It's nice she's doing that. You can do it with a sponge also.
But that insurance that everything is blended
properly and almost pushed into the skin.
If you're going to do... for me, I feel like
the secret to a lightweight 'no' foundation foundation is...
Sorry, I just noticed something over there.
Is to make sure that it is all pushed into the skin.
It needs to look like skin, become part of the skin.
We do this trend at the moment with makeup.
It's very much the thing to wear
so much that it looks like it's sitting on top
of your skin with powder and all this other stuff.
Whereas with no makeup makeup, you want it to
look as if it's part of your skin.
"I have friends and sisters that
are so good at this stuff.
I have never been that girl."
Let me just say something right.
The people that are meant to be like, when
everyone's like, oh, I'm not that good at makeup,
the people that I speak to. And they,
and they do their makeup really well.
When I do these reaction videos, it's
usually the people that aren't beauty influencers
that are the best or use the more...
The best is the wrong word.
They're a little bit more artistic. Whereas the people that
aren't are the people who create looks that are more
reasonable in real life and more practical in real life
and actually do look better in real life.
But if you're on camera, it doesn't matter so much.
Like, you know, I mean, my makeup now, I wouldn't
go out like this in the daylight because my foundation
and my blush, it's all a bit, it's quite heavy.
However, on camera and the lights, we know
it looks a little bit different.
If you think you're bad at makeup,
don't hold yourself to standards of what
you see online, because there are lights. I have, 1,2...
I have five lights on me right now.
One up here, which is making the
middle of my face look really bright.
And then I have two white lights, and
then I have these kind of, like, medium
temperature lights in front of me here.
A really good lens on a camera.
And that's how makeup looks like this.
I never do anything unreasonable anyway, and
I feel like my setup is quite
modest compared to some other influencers.
So do bear in mind. Don't think you're
bad at makeup, because when you imitate what
you see online, when it doesn't work for
you, it doesn't mean you're bad at makeup.
If you were sitting in front of loads
of lights, it might look good also, you know?
That's why I always say, makeup has a theory. Okay.
"I absolutely love bronzer.
I still use this. I love it.
Kylie Cosmetics.
Me and Kylie's collection.
It's bronzer.
I apply it on this brush.
I know it looks crazy, but..." Another amazing
way to apply anything that comes in stick
form, especially bronzer and stuff like that, is
straight to the brush, portion control.
"It will all blend out."
And what I really like as well, she applied it in
one place and then is buffing it out.
Again, something that I consider like an online bad
habit is applying something to the face and
then just tapping it in that one...
Like drawing it where you want it and then tapping it
into that one place. Where really, what's nicer to do and
kind of actually more effective is to buff it into where
you want it, blend it out, you know?
"And we're going sunkissed, so
go crazy.
My..." I personally and other people tell
me if you agree with this.
I personally don't like it when people...
do this when they're doing their makeup,
just because maybe it was a thing when I was doing it on
clients is because they would do that,
and I'll be like, no, please keep your face completely still because
you're not walking around like this. Some people do.
But I want to see your face shape how it is
normally, like, if you're sitting there listening to a boring
conversation, that's how I want to see your face, because
then I can actually structure it correctly to how we
want it to look. Whereas when you pull or when
you do this or when you do this or do
this, you know, that's not how you are.
And everything moves.
"I'm going to add more bronzer because
I love it and I'm obsessed.
And this is a sunkissed look, so.
We're here to glow."
It'd be nice to see some bronzer
somewhere else, just to even it out.
When we bronze, we don't just bronze under the cheeks.
We bronze most of the time on
the highest points of our face.
Although sometimes it's not really the best place
to always apply it.
It'll be nice to see some around the hairline, in
the temples, a little bit here as well.
"Take a little bit of this, like, creamy
Chanel bronzer, and I'll put it here."
Do you remember back in the day when
everyone was like, transition shade, transition shade.
For eye makeup? The best shade was always your bronzer.
If you're doing a dark black smokey eye,
your bronzer was the best transition shade.
And it's always nice to incorporate the same shade that
you got in your cheek into your eye makeup
if you're doing something quite neutral, or if you
are just doing plain black.
What's happening here?
Just to tie it all in together.
Again, when you bronze, it's not just in one
place, you want to add it into other areas
just so it's a little bit more consistent.
"Blush. You know, if you've seen my other Vogue videos, my
other beauty videos, you know that I love
anything creamy that makes me feel really dewy.
And then I kind of top it
off with something powdery and matte.
So this palette is really nice because it's
creamy, creamy and like powders to match.
And I'm going to do kind of
a lot because it's Summer vibes.
And I think the key in looking sunkissed is like
a little bit of a, I may have gotten sunburned."
It's a sunburn look. On the nose,
on the cheeks, it's a sunburned look.
"May have been out in the sun too long."
Okay, let's look at her face shape
and where she's applying the blush right now.
She already has,
and with her contour, extremely prominent cheekbones that
we can see in this image here.
So a lot of the time, on a lot of people, applying
blush to the apples of the cheeks just doesn't look right.
It doesn't sit right.
It just, it's a little bit like, hmm okay.
Unless you are going for that burnt, like,
a little chubby face kind of look.
Whereas her face shape here, you can see when it comes
to this area, is quite diamond shaped and in the jaw.
And then she has these
really strong, strong cheekbones.
So actually applying a bit of blush on
the cheek there, almost balances it out.
If we were to apply it up here on her
now, it would make those cheekbones even stronger, which isn't
bad, but to make it a little bit more harmonious
and a little bit more leveled out, a balanced,
a nice blush on her cheek actually works really well.
"I'm definitely not the queen of this, like some of my
other sisters are, but I think we all just have..."
Can you see how it, now having this blush here gives her
this nice dip almost to that area of her face.
So we're having that strong
cheekbone across the whole way.
On a face like... that's, maybe rounder,
you wouldn't really want that so much,
especially with a rounded jawline.
I wouldn't do it on me, for example,
just because it will make me look like this.
Whereas her face has structure in this lower area.
So it's quite nice. "... cream highlighter from
the same palette that had the blush in it.
I do it with my finger.
Put some on my finger, and I love to do it here."
Nice. Again, cream highlight with a finger makes it look nice and natural.
I was going to say as well, because
she was doing it right here, it is going to add
a lot more structure to her cheeks.
However, wrapping it up around here softens
up that area a little bit.
If we were to apply it just here, and not here,
it will, again, be cheekbone, like loads of cheekbone.
But then bringing it out here brings this
bit out a little bit more, and again,
balances it out a little bit more. So it's nice.
"It's just a small area.
So I feel like if I use the big brush that I
used before, I would just kind of go everywhere. And then I kind
of do this with the... "I have to say, the use of
the middle finger is a little bit... the best finger to use,
like we all know of our
concealer, is this finger right here.
What's it called? Your ring finger? I don't know.
Just because it can bounce a little bit more and
it doesn't put too much pressure on the skin.
Not that you need to be delicate around this
area, but the bounce is a nicer action.
Whereas if you're using something like this finger, it's kind
of like pushing it and you get these irregular taps, whereas
with this one you have to be a lot lighter.
You physically can't push too hard and you get
more of a lighter tap, a lighter finish.
"Now I'm going to go in for the powder products. Bonzer.
So now we're going to use the powder blush from
the same palette, and we're going to get crazy."
I think it'll be, it's nice to add like a powder
bronze on top of the cream, that's cool.
I think it is nice to keep
that shine to the cream blush.
And I mean, you could powder it to set it,
but at the same time then you're losing the shine.
So what's the point using the cream in the first place?
And even with pigmentation, you can
get enough pigmentation from a powder.
"I love this Dior
lip maximizer, a little lip plumper,
as like a base on my lip.
And then I'll just take this and
it stays on me all day.
This is a tip that Kylie just showed me.
This, like, a dewy skin mist.
So if you're a little bit matter than maybe
you would want to be, or you want your
makeup to kind of feel a little bit more
natural, you spray this on and it's really nice.
It was actually something I've never done
before, and she just showed me recently, so."
She uses all those mists and
she's never thought to mist the face after?
"What I really wanted was something that
felt glowy and something that really represented
what I use on a daily basis.
This is kind of me.
This is my everyday, glowy Summer look."
Beautiful. That would be an incredible wedding look.
Imagine a little bit more of a shine on
the lid, something a little bit more structured
through the socket, a little bit darker
on the outside corner, just with neutrals.
That's a beautiful wedding look.
And a really nice everyday look as well.
There wasn't anything in there
that was horrendously awful.
There was no over color correcting.
There was nothing that we're used to seeing a
lot of influencers do, so that was cute.
That was a good watch.
All right, well, thank you so much for joining me.
