Hello everyone, welcome back. Thank you so much for joining me. So today, I am
very excited to be doing a full face of e.l.f, and I want to take a look at
some products I've used already, and some that I haven't just yet, and create a
look for you all. Now, if you're familiar with my videos or my content in general,
you know that I love e.l.f, and their products. E.l.f is the brand that got me
into thinking, into the headspace, where I'm like, you know what, I want to try more
drugstore. And everything I try from e.l.f, I'm always
exceptionally impressed with. So, I'm very excited to be doing this today.
This video is sponsored by e.l.f, so I want to say a huge thank you to them.
All the products I use today will be linked below for you. And if this is your
first time here on my channel, hi, my name is Robert. I'm a professional makeup artist
here on YouTube, and also in real life, and it's my goal to help you become a
Pro yourself, or just someone who's really good at
makeup, so if that sounds like something you are interested in...
just slow down,. hey... then please consider subscribing.
Okay, just before we get into today's video, I just want to give a shout out to
an e.l.f product that I'm not going to use in a video because it's skin care
but it's something I use behind the scenes. This is my
second, my second empty pot of this now, and I'll be on my way to buy another
one, and this is the e.l.f Supermask. This has
been a lifesaver for my, I want to call it
"quarantine skin", because my skin hasn't been, it
doesn't know where it's going in life, it doesn't know what it's doing.
So, for those times I'm super oily, also dehydrated, so for those times when
my skin is like, extra, extra confused, this has been a
great mask. So just a shout out to that product, one of
my absolute favorites. Okay, so let's get my skin ready. I have
moisturized already, and done everything else. I'm just going to start by using
the Hydrating Coconut Mist. Now, oh let me
just do this.
I'm just going to let that sink in. I'm,
I'm experiencing drier skin, and because I'm trying a new foundation, I want my
skin to be as good as I know it can be right now,
in this moment, so I'm gonna do a few little things, just
to kind of help my skin out. So next, I'm going to use the e.l.f
Nourishing Oil, and what I'm going to do, I'm going to use the smallest, smallest
amount, I'm going to take my dropper, I'm going
to put the tiniest bit on the back of my hand,
literally like a small, small, tiny bit. With my ring finger, I'm going to put
that on, and then just very gently tap with my other ring finger,
and this is how I'm going to stop
my under eye concealer creasing. Now, here's the key, I'm going to talk about
this more next week but hydration under the eye. I know we want to go in,
and powder our whole face, and kind of almost
feel like we're locking in that product, concealer I'm talking about
but if you get creasing, if your concealer really creases
up, dehydrating it isn't gonna help. Think about when you
dehydrate something, it gets, it's like, you know, like a desert floor,
where it gets all crumbly and crusty. Now, I'm gonna keep tapping this in, until
I don't see any residue left underneath the eye.
I want to be hydrated, and plumped but I don't want to feel that oil
texture on the skin, and this oil is great for doing that, because it doesn't,
it doesn't, I've used this over my whole face before, and as an oily person
I've had no issues. It doesn't feel like a greasy, greasy oil, you know. I'm gonna
tap a tiny little bit in these like, inside crevices right here,
because I know I get dry right there too. Okay so, perfect. I feel nice and hydrated
under my eye. Now, I'm using two separate primers
on my face. This is a technique a lot of people
use but I do think it's a really important thing,
I always say this, and sorry for repetition but primers, for me,
are needed. I know a lot of people don't think they are but primers for me, are
needed, when they are needed. So, if my skin is
extremely dehydrated one day, extremely porous,
I'm going to use a primer to kind of help me out, you know. It's like a cheat,
well, yeah I guess it is. So I'm just going to go in with the e.l.f Poreless
Putty Primer, and I'm just gonna, first of all, start by just kind of
rubbing on a base layer, and I'm doing my nose only, for me,
because that's where I know most of my texture sits, when it comes to pores,
and I do prefer this one over more like, silicon-y like, those silky smooth-y
primers, because I feel like those give more of a slip on my oily skin
but also at the same time, kind of grip to dehydrated skin. So this is my
preferred option, for more porous texture. Now, I'm just
going to push that into the skin, and right around these little bits here.
And you have probably seen me use this every time I do a video, where I do my
makeup. And this is the Mint Melt Cooling Primer,
this is going on my cheeks, and forehead.
And again with primers, I'm looking for primers to create a barrier,
like a shield for my skin, against makeup. Not against it, to work with it but to
kind of like block any texture on my skin, so
that's why I'm kind of concentrating it more on my cheeks here,
that tend to be... how do you, how do you describe it...
it's like it's textured, and dry, and same with the middle of my forehead here.
So I'm not worrying too much about round the edges,
I'm just really focusing that primer right on the middle. Think about, I think
when we think of face products, we feel like it has to go
absolutely everywhere. You can absolutely customize
where you use your product. Okay, so let's do eyes. I like to do my skin,
skin prep first, leave it to kind of work with the skin, and do its thing,
and do my eyes and then see how my skin is after. If I feel drier in any area,
if I look excessively oily in any area, then I know I can follow it up, maybe
with something a bit more mattifying, or I can
blot excess oil or add more hydration if I need to. So let's go straight in with
the e.l.f Putty Eye Primer. This has been my absolute favorite, you
can see I've made a big, big dent, oh you can't see it really...
a big dent in it. Now, the key to using this, I
love a good sticky primer, a thick primer. So the key to using this
one is, body temperature. You can swish a brush round in it but I
like the warmth from the finger, to kind of warm up the product.
So I take my finger, and I don't really, I'm not like moving around, I was kind of
like wobbling my finger in there, and getting some heat going, so this
will make the product really, really easy to kind of move around the lid,
and I do prefer to apply it just with my fingertip. But you see how smoothly it
goes on now? Like butter.
And if you do have quite textured eyelids, like me, I'm textured in here, I
pat on this area. I don't mind giving like a little wipe around here but when
I'm in this area, I'm tapping, and it's a little bit less
destructive than wiping, and moving the skin, you know.
Perfect. So, just a nice even coverage. Even? Evening... evening,
like it's the evening, that's eve, that's even. The skin tone on the lid is even.
So I'm going to go in with one of the Mint Melt Eyeshadows. These mini palettes
are incredible, this is from a collection but the regular line is
absolutely stunning. I was actually very pleasantly surprised by these, the first
time I used them. I don't know what I was expecting
but again, before using e.l.f, I was a little bit like, oh I'd rather not use
drugstore. But e.l.f changed me. So I'm gonna go in with a deeper shade
here, and we'll just start that right on the
outside corner.
And I kind of want to go, well, of course darker to lighter but I want to
go light, as in like a shiny light.
And I'm kind of keeping all the shape like within my brow line today, I don't
want to take it too far out, even though my brows at the
moment are terribly uneven, I messed up
trimming my eyebrows, and now I'm trying to hide it. Look at that.
You know what, they grow back. Okay, so then I'm going to take the lighter green,
and take that right to the inside corner here.
Love those greens. Okay, let's take this lighter shade
right here, and just tap that right on the inside.
Oh, e.l.f, yes okay. I love that. Okay, so let's finish up the
skin, because I want to do some detailing under the eye.
Okay, so let's take a look at the Flawless Brightening Concealer. I have
quite a few shades here. So the Flawless Brightening Concealer
contains Hyaluronic Acid, and Vitamin C, so you know when I was talking about
keeping the under-eye plump, and hydrated, Hyaluronic Acid is gonna do
exactly that, so we're not gonna experience that intense creasing, on me
anyway, and hopefully with the way, with the oil I showed you before, would also help
you out with that. So they are quite lightweight for concealer, again, which
for me is great under the eyes. I don't like a heavy concealer that grips,
and kind of drags down the skin. It's another way it creases but also, of
course you can use to highlight, and sculpt, and define the face. Even if
you're doing like a natural look, because the formula is
more lightweight. So I want to show you what I do under my eyes with these
shades, because I feel like, when we think about covering
dark circles, our immediate go-to is to brighten, or to use like a crazy, like
orange color corrector. You don't have to do that, even if you
have darker circles. Grab a concealer that is deeper than
your skin tone, so this has been used, so sorry the tip is, is a little bit,
well, I mean, it's used, that's what makeup looks like. So about one or two pumps, and
where I'm a little bit darker, we lost an hour's sleep last
night, I know we're all going through it. What a
difference an hour makes though, I'm exhausted.
Anyway, I focus the deeper shade
in the areas, that need that tiny bit of concealing.
So you know I love to do the inside corner here,
outside corner, just in general, when I'm doing concealer,
and then here, I kind of, I'm aiming to cover this whole area.
I need a little bit of help right there,
right here too. Now remember, orange color correctors
aren't like, the answer for everyone. A concealer that has
that kind of red tone to it also works, or just grab a darker concealer with a
red tone to it, a red undertone. So I'm just going to tap
that into place,
and you can absolutely do the same thing with your finger, actually it's probably
a bit better if you use your finger, because
the warmth of your body temperature. And I'm tapping that into place first, I'm
not dragging it across, I'm just tapping it exactly where we
left it, and making sure the edges are blended
seamlessly. And I'm not going right up here, I'm not like giving myself a
facelift, or anything like that, just tapping in
those areas. And to be fair, that could be me now, just done, if I just wanted
my eyes to blend with the rest of my skin tone. However,
I do want them to appear a little bit brighter, because
I'm tired. So now, we can go in with a lighter shade,
because if we put something too light on top of a dark under eyes, we get this
grey tone. So that was Medium 32N, I used under my
eyes there. Now I'm gonna go in with Fair 15W, and just gently build
that up. Now, when we're thinking of brightening the eye area, same again,
a bit here, tiny little bit. I know it's lightweight
but it is still concealer, so it does still have that good coverage.
Again, I want to highlight, so let's look for those areas that seem a bit sunken.
And we can actually go back over our foundation with that as well. I just want
to give it like, a little boost but can you see how these kind of blend,
really flawlessly into the skin. So if you were just having a day where
it's like, you know what, I want to make a few spot corrections but I don't want to
go full face, this will be absolutely perfect.
See, let's drag this down a little bit here,
and I'm just using that to slightly cut off the eye makeup on the corner there.
So moving on to foundation, let's talk about
the Camo CC Cream. Now, a lot of people, I got so many messages
asking me to test this, actually a little while
back now but here we are now. So it has a medium to full coverage, and
it's color correcting, CC. And again, it has that Hyaluronic Acid, so
it's going to lock in that moisture, all that skin prep we
did before, it's going to keep our skin nice, and bouncy, and keep that nice kind
of skin prepped texture. It's also infused with Collagen, and it
also has... I can never say this, Niacinamide, which
is like, let's face it, the last two years is like this miracle ingredient that we
didn't all know we needed, and now I regret not knowing I needed it.
So, let's give this a go. I'm using the shade Light
240, pump a little bit on the back of the hand there.
I think I used too much there, I kind of underestimated
the coverage, I think we see cc cream, and we're like, natural.
Blends very well, perfectly actually.
So this comes in 20 shades, and the thing about cc
creams I find, you can always go one lighter or one dark, and it doesn't
really matter. My skin is behaving today. Anyone who
tells you about prepping your skin for makeup isn't necessary, they're liars,
they are lying to you, and they don't want you to succeed in life.
Yeah, this feels amazing on the skin. It's so nice to have like, just a nice
little glow to the skin. So, here's what I'm going to do, I'm going
to go, I don't think I need to highlight anymore,
I think I'm good. Let's just finish up under the eyes very quickly. Let me
shuffle. So I'm actually going to take the No Budge
Eyeshadow. This is like an eyeshadow stick, I'm just going to run that under
the eye,
and just blend it out quickly, before it settles. Eyeshadow sticks,
once they set, that's it, no budging. They make great eye primers actually.
My little tip, if you're really tired, just bring your eyeshadow down really
far... [Laughter]
...and then you're all good. No one's ever gonna know. I kind of want to bring that,
the green... no don't do it. Don't do it. Now, I'm gonna move on to the e.l.f Putty Blush.
These are some of my absolute favorite blushes. I'm really, I've got really like
heavy into cream blush at the moment. I think we're going through a phase, right,
everyone, where we want cream everything, we want our skin to just look
as healthy as possible. So I've chosen two shades, I've gone for
more of a deeper orange tone, and then a kind of a pinkier tone,
and I want to kind of sculpt a little bit with those tones, by using the deeper
orange underneath, and then a pinker on top. Now, you can
absolutely use your fingers, I'm going to use the same brush that we use for
foundation, just because it's going to help kind of
blend everything together. And I'm going to build this just underneath my
cheekbone here.Now, I have a longer face, so I personally like to round off my
face a little bit, just by bringing up that color here.
Can you guys hear my chair creaking?
Yeah? So just tucking it right under the cheekbone, and bringing it to about
here, and then lifting up slightly, just like this shape,
and then connecting that, well, to my beard. If I didn't have a beard, I
wouldn't bother but because it creates like a sharp line, I
need to like connect everything there. There's something about cream products,
and the way they blend with the skin, and actually, the way the foundation is
working with the cream product, it just all melts together. Okay, I'm
going in with a lighter pink, and I'm going to build that up just on
the top here.
Putting color just here, again, it's gonna give us another little lift.
Okay, so let's move on to the Lash It Loud Mascara. Now again, I'm sorry for
repetition, if you listen to my podcast that I do with my brother, if
you have seen any of my videos, my favorite things videos, you're going
to see this many, many times. So the Lash It Loud Mascara is
all about volume, and boldness. Making your lashes
look fuller, and longer, and it also has intensely dark
pigment, so when mascara has deeper pigmentation, and you have that
definition, it makes the lashes look more defined,
and it makes the lashes look deeper, and fuller. The brush captures
every single lash, and it kind of, when you first look at it, it kind of just
looks like, oh it's like a brush, but if you look
further down, there's smaller brush strokes, and you have, of course, like the
ball on top there as well, but there's these smaller ones that are
really gonna grip the lash as you comb it through. So that way, you can get a lot
more definition. Mascara, when you're using mascara, don't just whack it
through, hold it like, obviously a mascara wand,
and what I'm going to do is, I'm going to roll
forward, at the same time I'm going to zigzag through. So I'm going to roll, and
zigzag. Back again, roll, and zigzag through the
lashes. That way, we are capturing every single lash as we go through.
And you can actually feel it almost pull on the lash, which is what we want,
because then we know we're getting a good grip, and a good comb through
those lashes. Yes, give me volume.
Oh, there we are. Oh, it's definitely given my lashes a lot of definition. I
burnt these lashes years ago, and they've just never grown back
the same since. We're gonna do a little bit on the
bottom. Cute, cute, cute.
Okay, now considering my lashes are absolutely terrible, and point down,
this has given me such a nice lift to the lash. Okay,
so for the lips I'm going to take the Flawless Brightening Concealer, and this
is the shade Deep 53W, and I've previously used this
to kind of bronze a little bit. I'm just going to tap this on the inside here.
Now, I wouldn't usually put concealer on
the lips but concealer with Hyaluronic Acid in,
we're good. And I'm just gonna go in with this gloss that has more of a
greeny kind of shine to it. Hmm, that smells so good. And there we
have it, a full face of e.l.f. I absolutely adore this
foundation, it looks so natural on the skin. It looks like it has
a natural glow to it, a nice shine. I was going to add highlight but I kind
of like that it just catches the light, and looks like good skin. I hope you
loved exploring those products with me, and
trying a few new things out, and a few of my favorite things out again.
Like I said, I'll leave a link for everything below for you to go ahead and
check out yourselves. Yes, so thank you so, so much for joining
me, and thank you again to e.l.f for sponsoring today's video,
and I will see you very, very soon, bye.
