- Hi, this is Barbie Ferreira, and I'm going to test
my makeup skills with an Allure beauty challenge.
One blindfold, 10 products, 20 minutes.
Wish me luck.
[smooth, groovy music]
Okay, wait, where is it?
Okay, cool.
Big,
medium,
two,
three,
four, five, six,
okay, seven, eight, nine, 10.
[record scratching] Okay!
[chuckles] No brushes for me today.
All right, let's see what these are.
[upbeat, groovy music]
Okay, lots of eye shadow,
so we're just gonna go eye shadow heavy, aren't we?
Okay.
Oh my god, I love a glitter moment.
Is this a glitter liner?
Yes it is.
Okay so [chuckles] we're going full glitter.
Okay, cool, we have a lip gloss.
Another eye shadow!
We're just gonna go full on with eye shadow.
Now what's all this?
Let's see.
Oh, a brow pencil, cool.
Oh my god. [laughs loudly]
Okay, we can do this.
Let's open this one.
Okay.
Oh, wow, these are stunning.
[funky music]
[low chiming]
We're gonna have to get creative with this one.
First things first, is eye shadow, baby.
[laughs] No brushes or anything.
Okay, let's figure it out.
I'm gonna use my hand as a palette.
I'm gonna get this blue, it's really pretty.
It's really dark, too,
so this could go either way.
Oh my god I'm gonna look like a clown,
I already know it.
Okay, we're just gonna tap, tap, tap
and then I'm gonna use one finger to apply
and the other to [chuckles] blend, I guess.
Oh.
[gasps] Oh!
You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna layer this under a glitter
so that it doesn't have to be perfect
'cause she's a little dry, this girl.
All right so we're gonna apply like that.
I'm just gonna try to blend it out
with my other finger.
[laughs quietly]
I'm gonna add some powder on top of this
'cause she's chunky, very chunky,
[speaks softly under breath] eye shadow.
Okay, I'm gonna do one of these, let's try
a little blend, or try to blend
with my other finger.
Oop, oop.
I've used the Stila.
These are iconic.
I love them in my inner eye.
I love a Buxom, is that how you say it?
Buxom?
Buxom lip gloss.
It makes your lips all plump, which we love.
And I do have the Benefit brow pencil.
It's Benefit, right?
Yeah.
I do like that.
I haven't tried these Elf ones, yet, or this palette
but I love Morphe so, you know what?
We'll figure it out.
Okay, let me blend her.
[rhythmic groovy music]
[chuckles] Pretty, okay.
- [Producer] You've got 10 minutes left.
- Oh, I have 10, I forgot I was being timed.
Just because my finger just landed
in this electric blue, we're gonna pile that on.
Ooh, I like this!
It's very pigmented, we like.
Okay Avani Gregg, Mama's fav.
Oh, wow, it's honestly really pretty.
I don't want any patches so we're just gonna...
I'm gonna put this over this other eye shadow
because the other one's a little bit
not what I was going for.
Oh, wow, okay it's working.
This color is super pretty, wow.
I'm gonna do this dark blue.
No. [squeals]
Seaweed, seaweed, okay.
I really like this color.
I've been into a gray eye shadow, lately,
so we're gonna gray up this top part.
This is not by best work, you guys,
[chuckles] but it's what's fun
about a challenge. [laughs]
My first time wearing makeup,
I used to just pile on a lot of eyeliner.
It was really funny.
I was very emo.
We loved it, we loved it.
This is so messy and awful
but we did get the vibe, right?
It's just like, you know?
Oh my god, okay, well.
Doing your makeup is really fun
but I never get it fully right
and when I get it done professionally
it's like, you know, my shade is correct
and everything is blended.
And the biggest thing that I had to learn
with my own makeup, is that blending is key
and there's no end to blending.
You have to look at every angle, every lighting.
That was the biggest lesson I learned
when [chuckles] I do my own makeup for places,
'cause I'm just like "Oh, my contour
is very nighttime right now,
it's not giving very daytime,"
which is a polite way of saying
it was not lookin' good.
Everything I learned is from a makeup artist.
I used to model, so I learned about skincare,
about foundation, concealer,
all my products are pretty much
an amalgamation of everything I've ever seen
and worked with and had people put on my face
that I really liked.
And I always keep notes and see what's up,
what the newest products are.
[gasps] Oh my god, this is a chunky glitter
and it's wow!
[record scratching]
Wow, wow, wow, wow, this is well done.
[upbeat, rhythmic music]
[low chiming]
- [Producer] Last five minutes.
- 'Kay I'm almost done, I'm almost done, I'm almost done.
I can't do a full face because I don't have anything else
but, oh my god, this is so cool.
Okay, this is a really good eye shadow.
I really like that.
Thing is this is something that I would buy.
And this actually kinda saved everything
'cause it wasn't lookin' good.
[laughs loudly] Now this saved it.
Wow, that's so rare to be able to get that product.
Okay, wow, go off, Morphe.
Wow, okay, now we're just gonna do some lip gloss.
[smooth, upbeat music]
[smacks lips] Ooh we can get
even crazier with the lip gloss.
We can do a little eye shadow over it
with a little dash.
We'll do a little pink.
I'll do this Madi don't like.
[camera shutter clicks]
Since I don't have any brushes or any tools,
what I did was I'd started off with this liquid eye shadow
and this is a very particular formula
so I realized that it was going south.
[laughs] So then I started with another formula,
the Stila eye shadow in grey fox,
and that was really pretty
but then I took it to the next level
with this glitter eye shadow that is, literally,
so bomb, Morphe X Avani Gregg,
I hope I'm saying that right.
Congratulations, this is a really good glitter.
It's really hard to find a chunky glitter that's pigmented.
So, this kinda saved the look,
so, shouts out to that.
And I just put a little bit of lip gloss
which is plumping, ooh I feel the plump.
And then I just put a little bit
of some eye shadow on top so that,
just to make a little makeshift lipstick.
And what I can even do with that,
is if I really wanted to, I can use that as blush.
- [Producer] Two minutes.
- Okay. [inhales and exhales quickly]
Alright, so maybe I can do a little blush, actually.
Oh, I'm gonna use this to just brush my brow.
[electronic, groovy music]
[speaks under breath]
I'll do a really, I'm gonna mix a little bit
of some colors to make a little...
[sighs] I'm kind of like "Should I really try this?".
No. [laughs loudly]
This is...
Okay. [exhales quickly]
Okay.
I'm just putting a little [chuckles] bit of this on my...
I have so much glitter on my hands,
I'm gonna have glitter face.
Oh, it's not bad.
I'm using this color, ShantiG.

[low chiming]
[camera shutter clicks]
Thanks Allure for tuning in to this beauty challenge.
I hope I did good.
