- Hi, everyone.
Welcome back to the Adore Beauty YouTube channel.
My name is Megan and today I'm joined by Amy.
- Hello.
- Today's segment is What's In Your Makeup Bag?
So I have set AB staffers a challenge.
I want to know exactly
what is in your all-time essentials makeup kit.
- She's tough. (chuckles)
It's a tough challenge,
but you know, I'm all for a challenge.
So I have whittled it down.
This is what I would take if you told me,
oi, you got to pack, like going tomorrow.
- You're going to Europe tomorrow.
- Oh, I wish.
And I guess, 'cause we working in beauty obviously,
probably a larger makeup collection
than the average person,
but I've squished it all into this bag.
This is kind of my essentials.
So let's get into it.
First of all, I love a clear bag.
- Clear case is key.
- It's just something about seeing it all in there.
It's very comforting to me, so.
- And easy to clean if there's any spillage.
- True. Mine is looking a bit messy. (chuckles)
I feel like it's like what your bag actually look
like is usually smeared with, you know, products.
- We're keeping it real here today, it's fine.
Let's start with your face base.
- Yeah. - Are you into primer?
- I'm into like a hydrating base.
- Yes.
- A really nice hydrating skincare product
to go under like Embryolisse,
oh, I'm going to fudge the pronunciation.
- That's okay, maybe pop picture up for everyone.
- The Lait-Creme or whatever it is.
Anyways, so that one I really like under makeup,
but if I'm doing a primer,
so if I want it to last the day,
I use this one from Heir Atelier,
it's the Face Primer, but it's a hydrating primer
that has a demi matte finish.
So it kind of just like gives me the hydration
and helps everything stay in place.
- Got a bit of grip to it,
but it still gives you a really nice radiance.
And now what do you usually use as a foundation
or BB cream or what's your all over base?
- It's kind of tricky if you have freckles
because you don't want to hide them,
but also you want coverage.
So actually one that I've been loving,
that I, for some reason, never got around to trying this
until they've changed the name.
- Yep. They relaunched.
- Yeah. So the MAC Studio Radiance Face
and Body Radiant Sheer Foundation.
It really is, I feel like, radiant sheer foundation.
So I'm wearing it today. (magical twinkle)
- It's very nice. It's buildable.
It has a really nice skin like finish.
- And it suits my dry skin really well
'cause it's nice and dewy.
They're pretty like random choices,
for favourite concealers, but I've got to,
if I'm doing under the eyes,
my favourite at the moment is this one.
And it's actually a corrector,
not a primary concealer.
- Is this Bobbi Brown?
- Yeah. Bobbi Brown corrector.
- So interesting that you've gone
with two pot set concealers.
That's a bold choice.
- I think maybe because I'm super dry skin
that I like products that are super creamy.
That's kind of what it looks like.
This works for me as a concealer,
but it won't work for everyone
because it's primary job is to be a corrector,
but I've just love how awake this makes my under eyes feel.
And then if I want more coverage,
including on the old chin pimples, chimples,
I'll go with this one from Napoleon Perdis,
The One Concealer.
- I haven't actually tried this one.
- I do concur that it is the one,
when they first launched,
it was really limited shades,
but they have since extended the shade ranges.
I'm using porcelain.
And I'm just going to shove my finger in there.
- It's almost like more of a balm consistency
rather than like a...
- So yeah, it's quite like creamy and wet.
- Yes.
- But it is actually really high coverage.
So I would actually usually use a buffing brush
to do my concealer, this one from Spectrum.
- And now let's head to cheeks.
- If I'm going away,
I'm not really gonna bring powder.
Sometimes I use my bronzer as a bit of a all over duster.
- Yeah. - Setting vibe.
- Controversial.
- (laughing) Controversial.
She's like yeah. (chuckles)
- No, no, that's okay, you do you, girl, go for it, yeah.
- So the bronzer that I love
and if you have a fair complexion,
any other rangas out there,
I highly recommend Hoola Lite.
So it's the same formula as the (indistinct) Hoola
but in a lighter version.
I just go ham and apply it with a big fluffy brush.
And then cheeks, I feel like blush is the one product
that like kind of changed, - Can't live without?
- Yeah, it changed my life.
I came late to the blush party.
I reckon I was probably like only 26, 27.
So like a few years ago that I started wearing blush.
- We got scarred, blush was out for a bit
and bronzer was in,
and now we've kind of made that shift back
towards that fresh dewy blush look.
- When you have a generally red complexion like mine,
I felt like it was just going to make me look redder
than I already do.
Like once when I used to work in hospitality,
this customer, I'll never forget.
She came up and she was like,
oh, I love your blush, what is it?
I was like, my skin, it's me.
We never spoke again.
So I've got the MAC Glow Play.
Again, you can tell this is, ugh, (chuckles)
it's quite like...
- Confronting?
- Yeah, to be like showing the actual products
that you use every day.
- So do you apply that with fingers, a brush, sponge?
- Sometimes I would do fingers.
And this one you can actually like,
it's so creamy that
- It's imprintable. - it indents.
But generally I'd use a stippling brush like this.
So I go dab, dab, dab.
And then I use Megan's blush trick.
I trace the line, so down the pupil,
and then up the cheekbone, like a good student.
- For a lifted effect.
- Yeah, and this is the shade that That's Peachy.
So it's just like a very nice vibrant shade
that I just feel like lifts my complexion.
- That's really pretty for your skin tone as well.
- And then the one I'm actually wearing today,
which is more of like a soft,
more like a deeper rose kind of vibe,
the Giorgio Armani A-Blush.
- It's more of like a dusty rose type of colour
rather than like your peachy.
- Yeah and I also swiped this on my eyelids today.
- Yes, nice.
- So I love doing makeup
where it's like the same tonal colours.
- It just ties everything together.
Even the Hoola Lite would be a great
- Eyeshadow. - eye shadow option,
if you're like, I want to pack light, but still look great.
That's a really good multi-tasker hack.
Maybe let's go to eyes.
- Yeah, well eyes is literally my blush most of the time.
- Yes, so the show's over peeps.
- One other product I did want to talk
about is a cream shadowy stick.
'Cause again, I'm not that steady hand with an eyeliner,
but I find this one from Napoleon Perdis.
The shade here is Burgundy,
and I use it in a few different ways.
So you could draw it on literally as an eyeliner.
- Yeah.
- Then you could smudge it out with a little angled brush
for that kind of bow wing.
Sometimes I might draw it over
and then very quickly blend it out for an all over shadow.
'Cause sometimes, like once they've set, they don't move.
- Yeah.
- So that's what I've done today here, folks.
So that's eyes, and controversial again,
I'm not really a big mascara person.
- Yeah, you're not.
I remember you saying this. - I'm not.
- And I was like, mind blown.
- Yeah, I've put it on today just because we're filming
and I want to look like I have lashes,
but I'm a big fan of lash lift and tint.
I mean, if I didn't have much time,
you only gave me like 12 hours notice,
then I would pack a mascara,
- Which one would you pack? - and it would probably be,
it would be a cheapy one because I don't use it that often,
and they go dry anyway.
So Maybelline Falsies, probably.
- But I've just noticed, do you use a highlighter or not?
No wrong answer, I'm just curious.
- It's like, dun, dun, dun. (laughs)
- I actually don't usually use one these days,
like no, really, so. - Neither, neither,
I don't know, I think when things come in trend,
you go hard and then you pull back
and then you come to your middle ground.
- Yeah, then you kind of draw back to it in a little way.
- Yeah, so if I am going to do a highlighter,
it's usually a fluid liquid formula of some kind.
And it's usually in a more of a, like a neutral tone for me
rather than like a silver or gold.
- A blinding, yep.
- Yeah, it's kind of like a champagne-y.
This one's kind of rose.
Giorgio Armani Fluid Sheer Glow Enhancer.
It's a pump, So I just do a bit on the back of the hand.
Dab here, little bit down the nose, wacky bit up here.
- You know what I've actually been loving?
It's not technically a highlighter,
but the MAC Strobe Cream, like it was all the rage.
And then I just kind of forgot about it
- Fallen back in love. - and I rediscovered it,
and I just pop it on like the tops of my cheekbones
and I'm loving it. - Mwah.
- Anyway, that's my story for today.
- Yeah, back to my makeup bag. - That's your makeup, sorry.
- Eyebrows. - Yes.
- I'm a big fan of like tinting.
Like I get my brows,
- You're a procedures type of gal.
- Yeah, I like to go in,
and it's like it might be two hours,
but then I have to do it again for another
like six to eight weeks.
If they're freshly tinted, I will just use a clear product.
This one is,
(quietly) gosh, it's a bit dirty.
(normal) The Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze.
This sold out when we launched it, it just went nuts.
It's so disgusting inside, I can't even.
- Show us.
It's not that bad.
If you just dip your spoolie in,
(quietly) also disgusting.
- So the next video is going to be brush washing with Amy.
- I do wash them.
- I know, it's normal.
- So yeah, if you just dunk this right in here,
you are going to end up with hectic brow lamination.
My tip would be not to just dunk your spoolie in
as if you're using a brow soap
because it is different to a brow soap.
So I just pop a, like a bit on my brush.
And then usually I wipe off any excess on the lid.
Anastasia says to do it on the front,
but then I was like,
that's going to get so hectically messy.
So I do it on the inside, and I would brush through.
At the moment, I am due for a tint.
So then I will go in with a thick brown product.
I don't need feeling in,
I just want help with the colour.
A tip I learnt from somewhere.
I think it was a Benefit brow artist actually,
almost outline the brows.
So I start and I draw like a bit of a line around,
and then I brush it through.
- Like your baseline?
- Yeah, and it helps us make it nice and like,
crisp underneath, but then you brush it through
and then that kind of distributes the rest
of the product nicely through the brows.
This one is Make Up For Ever Aqua Resist Brow Filler.
- We've done the whole face except for lippies,
and you are a lip lover.
- Yes!
- Like you will have no makeup on on a Zoom call
and still have like a bright lip on.
- I've brought a few different types
for the different times that I would wear them.
- (quietly) She's got one, two,
(normal) She's got five. - Got five.
And then there's about 10 others in my handbag.
The reason why I love a lip,
and I feel like a ghost corpse without a lip
because my natural lip colour is almost
like a purple-y bluey,
like I don't have a nice natural rosy
- Pigment in the lips? - Pigment in the lips.
So I really prefer a balm texture,
but I want the pigment.
If I was going on a walk on this holiday of ours,
I'm going to use the Bobbi Brown Extra Lip Tint.
This one's the shade Bare Raspberry.
And as you can see, it's almost done, which is very sad.
It gives you enough tint, but still very hydrating balm.
Next step up from that.
- She's bougie now. - Bougie balm.
This is bougie balm, so the YSL,
it's the Volupte Plump In Colour.
So this one is like a,
- I love the little love hearts on the side.
- Yeah, it's a coloured balm with the colour
of a sheer lipstick.
- Like a stain almost, that kind of vibe.
- Like that, and then it also has like the peppermint oil
in it, so it's a bit tingley,
so you get a bit of the plump as well.
- Ooh, okay, yep.
- If I was going to do a gloss,
if I was going to try and copy your kind of neutral lip,
then I would do this one.
It's a Maybelline Lifter Gloss.
- Oh, this is such a good gloss, everyone.
- Yeah, good bargain.
Nice big applicator, so you can just smoosh it on.
And this shade is 004 Silk, which is a nice, again,
kind of like that rosy.
That's the tones that tend to work well for us rangas.
This is the one I'm wearing today.
It's the MAC Powder Kiss Liquid Lipcolor
and the shade is A Little Tamed,
and I'm just obsessed with the colour.
- Oh, so that's what you've got on today.
- Yeah, that's what I've got on today.
- So she's modelling it live, everyone.
- And I'm obsessed with the colour.
It has this kind of, it's a suede-y,
like a suede - It's a velvet finish.
- liquid lipstick, yeah.
So not dry and crusty like some matte ones.
- Yeah, because I usually turn my nose up
at like matte finishes.
'Cause I'm like, ugh, it's going to be drying.
These are not drying, they're really lightweight.
They've got skin loving ingredients
in the formulations as well.
So if you love a matte finish
or even if you're looking for longevity,
if you pop one of those on first
and then you can even gloss over the top,
you'll find that your lip colour lasts so much longer.
- Finally, the most pigmented of the products,
but still with a really creamy balm finish,
is the Benefit Colour Bombs.
So this one's the shade Poppy,
so if I'm doing like a coral vibe.
- Yeah, nice.
- So it's super, very, very creamy.
They say it's a colour balm, but really it's a
- A lippy? - a lippy.
But look at the pigment, it's like...
- That's good, that really suits you as well
when you wear that, yep.
I like it.
- That's my bag. - That's your bag.
- That's my bag.
- Well I think that was an excellent selection of products.
- Thanks Megan.
- And I think we're ready to go to Positano now
or wherever you wanna go.
- Yeah or just, you know, down the street for coffee.
- Even just somewhere for a night. (laughs)
If you would like to see more of these,
please just let us know.
'Cause I can work my way through the AB staffers. (snaps)
- Oh yeah, you want something done around here?
Megan's your girl.
- I'll get it done, but yeah,

then just pop them in the comments.
Otherwise we will see you next time, bye guys.
- Bye.
