- It's about right, was that right?
- [Woman] That was right, I think.
- Oh, my God!
(laughs)
(funky upbeat music)
(mellow electronic music)
- I really (laughs) need this class
'cause I think I'm going to be doing
my makeup for my wedding.
I'd just love to learn how to have
more fun with my makeup.
- I've always kind of had bad skin
and Mom was not really good at makeup.
We didn't really do the girly things,
so I just never learned that kind of stuff.
- I was a tomboy growing up,
so I never really cared about it,
butt now, as an adult, I just would like to be
able to do more than just slap some mascara on.
- I don't know much about makeup at all,
but I have gotten my makeup done before,
and afterwards I felt super confident,
so I think it would be really empowering
to be able to do that myself
and to give myself that confidence.
- Hi, I'm Deepica,
and I'm a YouTuber and beauty expert,
and I am so excited to be here today to show these girls
how easy and fun makeup can be.
- What is all this stuff?
(laughs)
- I'm excited but a little overwhelmed. (laughs)
- I don't know what any of these things are for.
- Hi, guys.
(all say hi at once)
Don't eat that,
but it does sound really good.
(laughs)
Are you excited?
(all say yes at once)
We're starting with the contouring.
For the contour, you wanna focus on sort of
making a three shape on your face,
using a shade of foundation, bronzer, or eyeshadow
that's two to three shades darker
than your actual foundation color.
- Am I using one that's too dark
or does it just look dark right now?
(laughs)
- It looks dark right now and you're going to blend it,
oh, but you're doing it in the right spots! (claps)
(laughs)
- Was I not supposed to connect it at the top?
- No, you are, you are, you are.
- Oh, OK.
- What that does is, if you connect it at the top,
it makes your forehead look smaller.
You're gonna be the first to lead the blending.
- Pray for me.
- Wait, I have a question.
Am I ready to blend?
(laughs)
- Yes.
(all laugh at once)
Key here is dabbing.
Instead of swiping, you're gonna dab.
- Do I look beautiful?
- It's working!
- Is it working?
- It's working, it's working!
- Is this what working looks like? (laughs)
- Jody looks fabulous.
- Jody, get out!
- I can't believe we did it.
- You did it, you did it.
Now, to make the rest of your face match,
let's do the brows.
There's some really easy DIY ways to do it,
by using a darker brown eyeshadow,
and the key to filling in your brows
is really doing light, feathery strokes.
- Jody, yes. (laughs)
- Oh, that looks great.
You can use the spoolie on the other end.
- The spoolie?
- Yeah. (laughs)
(all laugh at once)
If you have smaller eyes
and you want your eyes to look a little more big
and kind of wide-awake look,
take the eyeliner and put it on your actual lash line.
Someone like me, who has really big ol' eyes,
you wanna take the eyeliner and put it
on the actual waterline,
which is the teardrop mark line,
right here, in your eyes.
- Sometimes, I do purple, is that weird?
- Not at all.
- OK. (laughs)
- I really like to focus on the ends of the eyes,
rather than on the inside,
because the inside of the eyes,
if anything, you wanna put a highlighter,
to get that twinkle.
- If you wanna do the highlight on the inside,
what do you use?
- Yes, yes, yes, yes.
- Do you use a spoolie?
- No.
(all laugh at once)
What I'm gonna start by doing is taking
a lip liner that's two shades,
roughly two shades darker
than the actual lip color that you're using.
The reason you wanna use something that's
two shades darker than your actual lip color
is you're essentially lip contouring,
and that contrast between those two shades
is gonna create this kind of look of fuller lips.
Just remember that the further out you go
from your actual lip line,
the more dramatic lip look you're gonna get.
- Which of these do I use, these two?
- That's an eyeliner.
(laughs)
- I'm just gonna keep it like this.
- [Deepica] Mm-hmm.
- Signature look.
- Deniece!
- You guys, I'm quitting my job,
I'm going to the runway.
- It's about how big you want your lips to look.
Oh, wait, guys, do you wanna know
the best trick for lipstick?
Everyone do a hook, go like this.
- Oh, the thing?
- And you get all the side,
so it doesn't get on your teeth.
Look, that would have all gone on your teeth.
I can't, I'm just so obsessed with how all of you look.
I feel like it's all, matches your personalities.
So pretty. (claps)
- Yay, this is so awesome, thank you.
- Thank you so much.
- Of course.
- (sighs) I feel like a million bucks.
The brow moment, for me, was the best part of this.
OK, these are the brows I've always wanted.
You know when you just feel good?
It's, I feel great.
- I never, ever wear lipstick,
and I never thought that I looked good in it,
but I guess I was just doing it wrong,
because now, I really dig it.
- I never had ever tried contouring in my life,
so that was an experience.
After this, I'm feeling a lot more confident
that I could do my own makeup for my wedding.
- I just feel so much more confident
being a woman and being able to control
and take my beauty into my own hands.
- Don't try to master things that you're not confident in.
Try and play up the things that you are.
- Other people can tell you you're beautiful.
Other people can tell you you look good.
But when you feel that way yourself,
and you feel like you have achieved that on your own,
that's so different.
