Hello, everyone. Welcome back.
Thank you so, so much for joining me.
So today we are looking at a tutorial from Julia Fox.
Now, if you saw it recently, everyone kind
of went a little bit weird and crazy
about this eye look that Julia Fox had.
I don't know what the event was or anything like that.
You know me and like, things.
I'm not that good with things.
She was wearing this eyeliner look that I believe
was done by a makeup artist on that day.
And everyone was a little bit crazy about it.
I just thought it was nice.
It was like editorial, it was cute.
I think it was just a little bit
out there for like what people are used to.
So anyway, today, I believe she is recreating that
look, and she did a... she calls it a fox eye look.
But basically it's a tutorial.
So we're going to have a look and see
what happens. If this is your first time here,
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're
interested in, please do consider subscribing.
And just before we get into this today, as I
always like to say, individuality and creativity have no rules,
but makeup most definitely has a theory, and that's what
we are going to look at today.
Shall we just go ahead and do it?
Let's just do it.
"Hey, guys.
So I'm not trying to sell you guys anything.
This is not a partnership with anyone.
This is just literally me with
too much time on my hands.
And I'm getting ready to go to the Independent Spirit
Awards, and I'm going to do my own makeup.
And I thought this would be a great
opportunity to do an eye tutorial to show
you guys how to achieve the fox eye
Anyway.
So we'll begin with skin.
I don't like putting makeup directly onto my skin, so
I'm going to use this Active serum
as a barrier."
Okay, let's start with the pouring of product on the face.
I always say this, one squeeze like that
on her skin would have been just fine.
That dropping...
for anyone, for anyone who drops products on their face
like that, you are wasting your product.
Do a little drop...
Honestly, like, you saw how much came out
that one bit, that would have done the whole face
instead of it dripping and falling off your face.
Take it easy, take it slow.
"Just put that like, everywhere."
However, sorry, it is important to...
it is important to prep your skin, and
you should absolutely... and serums the best thing to
prep skin with because, you know, it's hydrating enough that it's
not over hydrating for oily skin, but it's just
enough hydration for drier skin.
And they always leave, like a nice finish as well on the skin.
"... burns a little bit, but
it gives your skin a really, really nice glow."
She said it burns a little bit, but it gives a really nice...
Now, I'm not a skincare expert, but if I put something
on my skin and it burns a little bit... sometimes, especially
around my eye area, it means I'm using too much.
But I'm not sure that's a good thing.
"That will kind of just leave you feeling like, dewy.
When that is dry, I usually do like..."
Oh, sorry to keep going on about that, but maybe
an active serum with an active ingredient in it is
maybe a little bit too intense for the skin.
So something like a Hyaluronic Acid serum
or Niacinamide, which I think are still actives? I don't know.
I'm not a skincare person again, but I prefer
to prep the skin with a Hyaluronic Acid serum because
it's just Hydronic Acid and it leaves the skin feeling
great too, and leaves the skin with a glow.
Like what she said, it still
has that glowy finish to it.
"Okay, so for my skin, I'm going
to use this Luminous Silk Foundation.
Giorgio Armani makes really beautiful foundation.
And yeah, I put it on directly with my fingers."
Putting your foundation on with your fingers
is not a bad thing.
Putting on your foundation, concealer with
fingers is not a bad thing.
It doesn't mean you lack skills.
It doesn't mean it's not professional.
It doesn't mean anything like that.
Fingers are the best tools sometimes.
you can go ahead and rub it in like this and then pat in the areas that
need a little bit more full coverage.
I would first start with patting because
I think you get an even coverage
instead of rubbing around like a moisturizer.
One thing I am just questioning right now is if
I'm correct with doing this deep, dark black look,
I wonder if she's going to do it with a
gel or pencil, because if she's using black eyeshadow and
you're doing your foundation first...
I don't like running the risk because what if it all falls down?
What if it gets in your nose crevices here?
What if you miss a bit and
you you go and put something on it smud...
It's too, it's too risky.
I would always do...
I always do eyeshadow photos anyway, but especially
black eyeshadow or any kind of dark colors,
I always do that first, just to save yourself time.
Any fall down you get from here, you put your
primer or whatever product you just chose to prime your
skin with on some cotton or a tissue or even
on your fingers and just wipe it off.
"Oh, okay.
I promise I'm going to look bomb when I'm done."
Can you just see how, when we're wiping with
our fingers like that, we're not getting even coverage?
So that's why it's really better to tap, tap, tap.
You can wipe and then tap, wipe and tap.
Just add the tapping in there
because you're wiping away
and we keep getting this ridge on the nose
where no product is going as well.
So to be... to get an even, even coverage,
tap, tap, tap, wipe, wipe, tap, tap.
"So now that that is on,
I'm going to go in a little bit
like right there.
It really is like painting.
It's art."
You see how much product we're taking
away from here because of a rubbing?
Again, tapping, especially with concealer and around the eye area.
Tap, tap it in, you get a better coverage,
you get a more even coverage. Doesn't mean you need
a fuller coverage, but it just looks more even.
Otherwise, it's very obvious, especially if
you have redness in the skin.
If you don't get right up to your hairline,
right up to the nose, right over those bits,
it's very obvious you're wearing a foundation because you
can literally see where it stops and starts.
Whereas with foundation, we want it to be seamless. We want it to...
You don't have to take it all the way out,
you can even just use it in the middle of the face.
But you still want to blend out those edges.
we don't want it to stop here, start here, you know?
"F*ck anyone that says differently.
I'm going to do just a little of this right here.
I don't do a ton of contouring, it's just very little."
She has these incredible, incredible cheekbones.
So where she placed, you can see from this
right now, is a really, really nice contour.
If I were to do her makeup...
where she's done is absolutely fine,
I'm just saying where I would do it.
I would go from where she's done it now, and
I would go slightly up onto the cheekbone to emphasize,
to emphasize the shape a little bit more.
Because what we're going to do here
now is completely hollow that out.
Whereas we kind of want to balance it a little bit.
Here's the thing, when you have really, really big, big,
strong, bold cheekbones, it's great, what a great thing to have.
But at the same time, we don't want it to look skeletal.
So we kind of can bring it up a
little bit, even maybe with some bronze over the
top, half on the cheekbone, half underneath.
Because that might just end up looking like a line.
"Then I'm just going to go in like that
and just do a little definition, not too much."
Okay.
It's a line, because we've just done that, it is a line.
There's a lot of rubbing going on.
I don't think you need brushes to do your whole face.
A brush wouldn't go amiss here, but again, just tapping.
Imagine tap tap, taping in, like, circular motions upwards with that,
with that would be great, because now it's just a line.
And again, you can see its product,
you can see it's been put on the face rather than being like part of the face.
"Do a little definition, not too much.
I love this stuff right here.
It's by this brand called Oh. and it's
just like clear, it's Blush By The Glass.
And it looks clear, look it's on my nail.
But then you put it on.
I don't know if you can see it, it's very light pink."
That looks really stunning.
That's a beautiful product.
Again, it would have been nice being tapped on the skin.
When you're tapping, you're not running the risk of
interfering with the texture of the foundation underneath.
You can almost be taking away the
foundation when we're rubbing like this, especially...
Yeah, we really want to add some tapping
motions in there just to get it, you know, almost
like the bounce of a beauty sponge.
"I already have rosacea, so I don't really
go too much with the blush because.
Then why not the little highlighter there.
Okay, fab.
What else? Okay. Eyebrows.
I don't do too much, I prefer skinny brows.
They're just, like, hotter.
And I like to go in at the top really lightly.
And then with this side of the brush just blend it in.
Draw on my skinny ass brows."
She has a really nice brow shape.
Her slim brow, slim brow? Skinny brows do look really good,
and they're coming back into style.
I'm sorry, everyone.
One thing I really liked about what she did
with her eyebrows there is she only applied the
pencil where she felt she needed it.
She didn't, you know, block off the brow,
and to make them this block shape, she just
filled in the little gaps to add some definition
and some precision, which I think is really, really great.
When you have thicker brows like me, you kind
of have no choice but to, you know, thin those bits
and then immediately turn to a block.
But, you know, she hasn't squared off the inside.
She hasn't changed the shape too much.
I think that looks really nice.
Really, really nice natural brows. I think it's beautiful.
"Let's get down to business and why you all came here.
Okay, so I'm using my Pat McGrath palette.
This new palette she sent me that I'm f*cking obsessed with.
Like, look at these colors. Okay.
Now, what's very important with the fox eye is that
you really want to follow the shape of your own brow."
Okay, two things.
The Pat Mcgrath formula, as lovely as
it is, can be quite crumbly.
So I'm already worried about her foundation.
That brush, as we're creating, like, an outline or quite a bold shape,
I wouldn't go in with such a fluffy
brush straight up first. Although it's quite flat,
it's still quite fluffy.
I would take something that maybe gave a little bit
more definition, a little bit more precision, maybe something like
a very small, small brush that has that rounded edge and
that point so we can make some details with it,
and then I'll go in and fill in the rest.
Some people might go around, you know, create a
shape first and then fill it in.
However, I quite like that she's kind of gauging where
she needs to go, and then we can do the shape around it, yeah.
"And then I'm going to make it...
I know I look real crazy right now.
Then I'm going to go like that."
I'm so sorry about that beeping, it is in her video.
I don't know what it is. I hope it stops soon.
That's exactly,
that's exactly what I mean.
Imagine... that would be no problem if we hadn't
done all our foundation and stuff like that.
We can literally wipe it away with skincare
or makeup remover and be absolutely fine and
not have to worry about it.
The tiniest speck of black eyeshadow can smudge out like that.
And then you get this weird, like, greeny
bluey kind of, you know, tone on the face.
"Tutorial's over. I'm done.
No, I'm just kidding. I didn't get this far for nothing.
That's why you should always do the eye before skin.
But I just didn't want to be like this
close to my face without any makeup on.
Anyway, back to the eye.
We'll fix the skin later.
Who cares?
I'm going to make it start a little bit... there.
This is a total flop.
Do you guys hear Tyler Henry in the background?
Tyler, if you're hearing this, please invite me on your show.
I have more dead friends than anyone."
You see that bit in the inside corner?
It really weighs it out.
I know this is a bit of a more of
an editorial look and people might be like, I don't like
it, but I think having that be on the inside
corner really brings the whole thing together.
So now we're going to have to go
in and try and make the other side
symmetrical to this kind of like random shape.
There's two points, physical points on this eyeshadow,
eyeliner, whatever it is, look that I think will be
quite hard to get symmetrical because it seemed
quite not directional when she did it.
And that's the... like the point that's below her brow where it almost bat wings out.
And then this inside corner here, I noticed she hasn't paid much
attention to this part here.
It hasn't been blended, there's actually a bit of a gap there.
So I wonder what she's going to do and how
it's going to match up on the other side.
And the bit under the eye, it's not quite straight, there's a bit of bump.
And I think with black, you notice the tiniest little, you know, thing.
You can see that mark right there where
there's a hair that I haven't threaded and
the eyeshadow is going to grip to it.
Black makes everything so obvious.
Something like this is quite difficult to
get symmetrical because everyone's eyebrows aren't symmetrical.
So already on the left hand side of the video, you can
see that it kind of comes out this way more, whereas on
the other side she's kind of gone up a little bit more.
And that's a really... we do that a lot because our hands
are trained with makeup to flick out this way.
So when we come across this way, we can't flick up as easy.
Our hand physically won't let us, so it gives us a straighter look.
So you almost have to head upwards to get the same...
It's so easy to flick like this, but you can't really flick like that.
You see what I mean? When you move it this way.
So you need to move your
hand in a completely different direction.
"Sorry, this video is so long and boring.
I'm, like so concentrated right now.
Okay, now I'm going to go in
with
makeup remover."
One thing you need to be careful of as well,
especially with pencil in like the creasey areas is
that pencils do tend to run a little bit
easier or tend to smudge a little bit easier
than eye shadow would with the right primer.
She didn't use a primer, I just realized with a black eyeshadow.
Yeah, so you would have to be careful of that.
Here's the thing as well with a black look in general, you can't sneeze, you
can't breathe, you can't cry because the tiniest little
tap and it could all be f*cked up, but.
Also, keep that pencil sharp. If we're doing
precision sharpen it every time it needs sharpening,
get that really nice point to it.
"Okay, guys, this is it.
What do you think?
Also, this is what I'm going to do with my hair, so.
I love it. I think it's fierce.
I don't give a f*ck what the haters say."
It's definitely a signature look for her and
I am actually quite a fan of the look.
I think it's very editorial.
I think it's really, really. nice.
I think doing it yourself,
perhaps if you're not like, experienced with make...
Like if somebody showed me that look, and was like, can you do this for me?
I'd be was like, okay, I'll do it.
And then it will be very much a look the whole way through,
I'll be like checking, checking, checking.
I would maybe even do a little tiny bit on each
eye at a time and make sure that I was getting
there and making sure I was using the right products.
Perhaps something that wouldn't smudge or anything.
But you know what? I think she did extremely well in terms of symmetry
and I think she really kept her cool as
well which is really good because I know I
would be stressed as f*ck, but yeah. Anyway, okay.
I would love to know what you think of that look.
It's definitely something we've seen in editorial work.
Is it something you can see happening, you know, just
going down the streets to the shops
and seeing somebody with that look? Let me know below.
Thank you so much again for joining me
and I will see you very, very soon. Bye.
