Hello, everyone. Welcome back.
Thank you so, so much for joining me.
So today, what I want to do is a
makeup look that looks like it would have taken
loads of time, loads of skill, but it's actually
quite simple to do and an effective look as well.
And the reason I want to do this, I feel like
I have a lot of people with a lot of different
skill levels when it comes to makeup following me.
And I want to do something that is
easy to redo at home, accessible to everyone,
no matter what tools you have.
And you can use whatever it is you have
already at home. Because make up is for everyone,
it doesn't matter what skill level you're at or what you
have at home, what makeup you have at home, whatever.
You can always recreate something quite easily.
So let's get into it.
I want to say a huge thank
you to today's sponsor of this video.
And that is Cult Beauty.
I personally adore Cult Beauty.
Cult Beauty also have a great
range of products to shop from.
Whether you want something a little bit more
high end, whether you want something a little
bit more affordable, there's always something there.
And they have a lot of brands.
I like to discover new brands on Cult Beauty
because they have a lot of incredible things that
you might have not seen anywhere else before.
And like I said before, Cult Beauty wants
to ensure that everybody feels included and is
seen within the beauty space and beauty community.
I think it's very easy to look online and see a certain
way to look or a certain way to do our makeup or maybe
a certain way that, you know, you have to do your makeup
like this. Doesn't quite work with you or, you know,
you don't want to do your makeup that way.
And I think we fall into this mind-frame that we
have to do everything a certain way, and we
really don't. Everyone is included in the beauty space,
and you absolutely don't have to feel left out.
So I'm going to tell you exactly what I'm using.
But of course, I will link
everything down below for you. So let's start with the
most important thing, eye Primer.
We absolutely need to use eye primer.
And I think you've all seen me use this one before.
This is a Chantecaille Next Generation eyebase, and
I actually have the shade medium here.
I believe I may have used the shade light before,
and it was just slightly too light for me.
Chantecaille is one of my absolute favorite brands.
They do some amazing, amazing products and
for a good cause as well.
And the reason I like eye primers like this is
I could literally go out and just wear this.
Look how it corrects my eye tone.
And because it's an eye primer,
it's not going to crease
like perhaps just using concealer on the lid would.
You know how I feel
about concealer on the eyelids.
This is incredibly smooth on the eyes.
And it doesn't feel dry in any way.
So if you do worry about your eye
primers being a little bit drier, you don't
really need to worry too much about this.
If you do get a bit drier, use your
finger to warm up that product, make it easier
to blend, make it easier to move around.
I really, really like that.
I just like that slight correction.
That's really nice. Really nice.
Like, I can literally walk out with just this on my eyes.
Beautiful.
I forgot to mention, throughout this whole
process, I'm going to be using the
Iconic London All Angles brush set. These are so cute.
Can you see how it has a
slight angle to all. every single brush?
There's a few eyebrushes in here or smaller
brushes you can use for various reasons.
It doesn't just have to be the eyes.
And a few larger face brushes.
But what's nice about an angle on a brush,
have you ever seen those eyeliner brushes
that have a slight angle to it?
It just helps with application, especially on the eyes. It makes you...
It makes application easier because of where you're holding
the brush and the way you're holding the brush, so.
These are going to be incredible. And Iconic London
I think... I mean, they're a great brand anyway, but
I have seen them increase in popularity
a bit more recently, and rightly so,
because they have some amazing, amazing, amazing products.
Let's go into the OPV
Beauty London Spotlight Eyeshadow palette.
Now, I wanted to use this palette because I
feel like everybody has these kind of tones.
It's not a crazy palette with, like, specialist colors.
It's just a really cool, nice palette to
use, you have a bit of everything in here.
You have some darker mattes, and these really
nice, almost, like, duo tone shimmers as well.
So we're going to start with the shade Dazzlelight, and
we're literally going to use this over the whole eye.
The lid, we're going to blend it up
through the socket and under the eye.
Also, we'll do the under eye after concealer.
So let's just take that first.
I'm going to take it on the number
nine brush from the Iconic brush set, and I'm
using the flat side of a brush first to
apply the shadow directly onto the lid.
And I'm going to use all the angles... oh.
That's why it's called All Angles.
That tip is going to take me right into that inside corner, like, so.
Make sure we get right to the lash line.
You can do this with any
blending brush and a brown shadow.
I've chosen a brown shadow that has
a slightly like, redder undertone to it.
I find them a lot easier to blend.
Sometimes we can use the ones that are a little
bit grayer, but then depending on what color we're mixing
with it, it can look a little bit muddy.
This brown, that almost looks like velvet.
That is really, really nice.
Let's get a lay down here, too.
And I'm just using, literally, the edge of that
brush to buff in
and blend that brown.
And I'm keeping my eyes relaxed.
If we do this, when we apply eyeshadow, it
looks like we're blending out and then we close,
look, nothing's happened.
So if I keep my eyes relaxed, I can take that
shadow up as high as I need it.
Softly and gently.
Gradually. We're going to take our time.
And then once I'm happy with the way
it's blended here, I'm going to go just
on the edge of where it's blended out.
Can you see just here?
And bring that out even more and soften that up.
And the trick to this is just being lighthanded.
That's literally all you need to do.
Be really, really light handed.
I'm using my little finger as a stopper.
I can't go any, you know, more intense than this.
So I'm having my little fingers resting on my face
and I'm just going backwards and forwards, and it's almost
stopping me from pressing too hard and going right
into my skin, into my skin? Into my eyelid.
I love that. I love, love, love that brown.
I'm now just going to take a blending brush and
just soften that edge just there, just very quickly.
So I've just built up that color very slightly.
And I just keep adjusting and blending
until I'm happy with the intensity.
Okay, I'm going to take my fingers now, and I'm
going to go into the shade Notoriety, which has this
really nice, like, greeny, blue, purple kind of shift.
And I'm going to keep this mainly on my lid.
And the brown base is going to make for a really good
almost like background for this color.
Yeah, look at that.
Ooooh.
Okay, so I'm not going to take it all the way
to the outside, all the way to the inside,
but I'm not just keeping it on the middle either.
I'm just taking it, like, a little bit further out.
Like so. I love these colors together.
That green with that kind of, like
reddy brown is so, so cute.
Okay, let's take a smaller brush.
This is the number ten from the brush set, and I'm
just going to slowly again, gently buff that corner out.
Can you see?
So we have a slight fade in
and then through the socket as well,
I just want to make sure it's rounded off
nicely, and that there's no sudden jagged areas.
I just love... I love, love, love that green. Okay.
Okay, let's go under the eyes and just
brighten up a little bit with some concealer.
And this is the Benefit
Boi-Ing Industrial Strength Concealer
This was my first ever concealer, the boi-ing one.
I loved it. I used that. And do you remember Lemonade?
I use that on my eyelids.
It was so, just very slightly color correcting.
I loved it.
I'm using the shade number two, and this is
the number seven brush from the brush set.
And I'm just going to gently wash that under
my eye like so. Again, to color correct
not to like add a full on intense, intense coverage.
It says industrial strength, but obviously it's up
to you how much you build it up.
And because I'm not going to use it like
typical concealer, where I want loads and loads of
coverage, I'm not going to do, like, a tiny
bit here, a tiny bit here and blend.
I'm just going to gently,
very gently backwards and forwards
buff that concealer into the skin.
Let's just do some subtle corrections around my nose
or any areas that are, like, slightly redder.
I love that. Seamless. Oh, my God, it's been years.
It's been years.
Okay, let's move on to foundation and a
brand that I've really been loving recently.
This is Lys. I say Lys.
I think I've heard people call it Lis.
And this is the Triple Fix Serum foundation.
So this is going to give us a really nice natural coverage.
It's not going to be too heavy.
It's also a light to medium coverage.
I personally do feel like if you wanted
to build it up to a full coverage, you absolutely,
it absolutely has the potential to do so.
I'm going to use the angle and just
gently push and buff into the skin.
It really does have that, like,
serum, like, finish and texture.
You can still see the skin underneath.
Okay, we'll go back into our eyeshadow
palette and back in with our brush,
number six. Into the shade Dazzlenight.
Did I call it Dazzlelight before?
I meant to say Dazzlenight.
And just tap that along the lash line.
I'm aiming for the base of the lashes to
get it as close to the waterline, sorry, as possible.
I love, I love, love how deep and rich this brown is.
It's so nice.
We also has the Vibeliner pencil.
This is from Honest Beauty, and I've
chosen almost like a metallicy brown.
It has this little smudger on the
end, which you can use as well.
But we're not going to smudge it today, we're just going to use this in a waterline.
And I wanted this more bronzy tone because it kind of kept
the red in with the kind of reddy tone brown eyeshadow.
Like so. And I love that slight, like,
shine as well on the waterline.
So we're going to add lashes in a little bit.
But let's go onto the cheeks.
We're going to add a little bit of bronzer to
kind of stick in theme with our eyes.
And I didn't know if this existed.
This is a Hoola Glow jumbo, jumbo size. It's huge.
I'm going to take the number three brush from
the Iconic set as well
and just get a little bit of this bronzer ready to go.
And I want to aim it,
keep it under the cheekbone right here.
Circles, buffing circles outwards.
The angles on these brushes really do, for some
reason, make it so much easier to blend.
Going to take this up around the hairline.
I'm not using blush today,
so I'm being quite generous
with the bronzer.
Okay, mascara.
Now, this is one I've never used before.
This is a Pacifica Vegan Collagen Fluffy Lash mascara.
And it has the most incredible brush.
I love a brush that dips in the middle.
I just love it, because when you put it
here, you're catching all those bigger, longer lashes in
the middle. And on the outside corners here and
here, you're getting those smaller ones but because it's more
concentrated in this bigger area.
And it's almost like the coil
is slightly tighter in the middle, you, it's going to help apply.
Zigzag and rolling through.
And it's not an overbearing mascara either.
It's not applying too much product that it's cakey,
it's just enough.
You can see my lashes are nicely coated.
So for lashes, I'm going to go
for the No Lash Cluster from Sweed.
And these are really great because
they're in tiny little things,
these aren't the ones that are
going to stick under the lashes.
They stick on top, but you have different lengths.
So you have shorter to longer,
so you can go across as you like.
You can just put the shorter ones across.
You can do a cluster in the outside corner.
Okay, so I just added a few little fluffy bits
to the outside corners. They're are so cute.
Just to add a tiny bit of a lift.
Let's go in there with the lips.
So we're going to use Tower 28 Lip Jelly.
This is the shade Oat because I like a good nude.
And this just looked like this
perfect peachy kind of nude.
Yes, oh my God.
Oh, it's so smooth. Oh, it looks really, really nice.
I love this color.
It goes on incredibly smooth.
Although it's quite intensely glossy visually,
it doesn't feel like a thick gloss on the skin.
It's really, really nice and comfortable.
I don't think you need perhaps that much that I used.
You can use like a tiny bit less, but I
kind of really like to block out my lip color.
Next up, let's go in with the Danessa
Myricks Beauty Evolution Powder Priming Smoothing Setting powder.
I'm going to take the number five brush from the brush set,
and this is a little bit more precise because this
is exactly how I want to be with it.
I want to be a little bit more precise.
And I don't just want to put powder, like anywhere.
So I'm going to concentrate
it just in the middle here.
I'm just going to use a tiny bit to
kind of set and blur ever so slightly.
See how it just smooths out a tiny bit? Not completely.
You can still see pores and things like that.
Perfect.
Okay, so this is our whole look, using
all these amazing products from Cult Beauty.
