Hey guys! It’s Mi-Anne and this is Beauty With Mi.
Today I have a very special episode of
Beauty With Mi because I am here with a woman who
really needs no introduction,
but I’m going to do it anyway.
We’re here with Olivia Culpo!
Hi!
For those of you who don’t know,
she’s a model, actress, she also has over two million
followers on Instagram so
she’s really some serious business.
You like to do your makeup without a mirror sometimes.
Mmhmm.
That’s so crazy.
I’ve never done that before so I thought
that’ll be kind of fun to do our makeup
together and our hair without a mirror.
Let’s do it.
So I’m going to challenge you to try
to do my hair and makeup day to night look.
So now I just have a pretty light base.
There’s cover-up.
There’s a little bit of winged liner.
And we’re going to add powder,
some eyeshadow, we’re gonna curl the lashes,
we’re going to do a little bit of the brows,
and we’re going to add a juicy red lip and a highlight.
—So… —That’s a lot.
Are you ready?
I’m ready. Alright. Let’s start!
So we’re gonna begin by prepping the hair
with Curl Hold Spray by GHD.
And this just kind of helps
get the hair ready for the curl.
And you can just kind of shake it in.
Wait for it to dry a little bit because I
hate when it does that crazy sizzling sound.
Oh yeah that’s not a cute sound.
This is from the Nocturne collection
and has trizone technology so it’s
going to heat up the hair evenly.
And we’re going to take about
an inch of your hair.
We’re going to do what’s called the S-wave.
And we’re going to bevel the iron down
and then up and then down and then up.
Got it.
So it adds a little…
Did I do it? Did it work?
Yeah!
You’re really good.
How often would you say you’re going to an event
or something and you have to do your
hair and makeup without having
a hairstylist or a makeup artist?
I would say I do it myself 75% of my life
—and 25% of the time I’ll have somebody. —Really?
But for red carpet,
it’s definitely usually somebody doing it.
Yeah.
Okay. That feels good.
I think I feel some texture
and some heat radiating from there.
Next.
Okay. What’s next?
Let’s move on to the lip.
Okay.
We’re going to use this.
I’m scared.
I’ve never done my makeup without a mirror before.
So first we’re going to start with lipliner.
Okay.
We’re gonna go with a red lip today because why not?
So we’re going to line the lips.
I cannot believe that you’re doing this right now.
Yeah and you’re doing it.
She just got her exact—
—you got your exact lipline basically in one stroke. –I know.
You’re doing okay.
Ooh!
I’m just kidding but…
That’s like you get a B-.
You’re doing a good job.
Next!
Lipstick.
You’re really going for it.
You’re like not being gingerly at all.
I am right now using this Marc Jacobs red in Oh Miley.
I’m assuming they named it after Miley Cyrus.
And then after I apply the lipstick,
I usually go over the liner just one more time.
So next let’s go back to the eyes. Let's do...
First of all: curl job.
Oh man.
I’ve never done this without a mirror.
Have you done this without a mirror?
I mean, yes.
What?
I’ve been doing it for a long time so.
You’re skilled.
So next, let’s go do a little bit of…
Oh wait.
Oh wait! There’s a mirror!
Don’t look.
No cheating.
Put it this way.
I don’t really like to do heavy eye when I do a lip.
Yeah, I like that too.
I think we should add a little bit of this
shadow and what we’re going in with is this
—sort of iridescent... —Yeah, it’s kind of an olive-y shimmer.
So we’re going to go with the olive shimmer
and then we’re also going to tap into the
black.
And we’re going to rub it between both fingers.
Ooh!
I’ve never done this before.
It’s a very natural eyeshadow.
And then so we’re going to do this
and go to where the ends of the eyes are exactly on
the corners.
Hopefully it looks okay.
We have no idea.
And I feel like that’s enough.
I don’t want to do too much because
I said the red should really be the star.
So next let’s move on to powder.
We’re going to take our brush
and we’re just gonna go into the shiny parts,
which is the T-zone.
So a little bit on the forehead,
a little bit on the nose,
a little on the chin, and then just in the corners—
that’s where I also like to go.
Then we’re going to go with the highlight.
This is Bar of Gold by Charlotte Tilbury.
And we’re just gonna go above the cheekbone.
And I like to do the tip of the nose.
I also like to take a little bit on my finger
and go on the browbone.
—Get that browbone highlight. —And a little at the tip of the nose.
So that’s that.
We’re going to do brows
and I like to use the Dior Brow Styler.
So the first trick is to brush the brows up.
I usually only fill in the brows where it
really needs it, which would be in the base and the tip.
So you don’t do anything in the middle.
Well we can see if it makes a difference with this.
So you brush them up and then you just go—
I mean I don’t know where my…
Where are my brows?
But I’m going a little bit just outlining
because if I can avoid it,
I don’t want them to be overlined.
But luckily this color,
it’s so natural like it really does blend right in.
You can really feather in.
That feels good.
Does it? Does it look okay?
Does it look like I did anything?
I want to do that, but that would be cheating.
You can cheat with me anytime, Olivia.
Anytime.
Okay.
Moving on.
Oh let’s finish our lip and then we’re done.
Finish the lip.
Okay so we’re going to do the Mac liner
just one more time just to make sure that…
You love yourself some lipliner.
I know.
Well it is like you never know if you perfected the shape.
I don’t even know where on my lips I’m going.
You’re doing a really good job.
Thank you.
Okay now we’re going to add the NARS
Triple X Lip Gloss to add a juicy finish.
And for this, there is a trick.
You only want to put it in the middle of the lip.
Okay.
We’re done.
Voilà!
Bedhead and red juicy lip.
You look great.
I love everything.
You killed it.
She looks so good.
You look like you literally got it done
from a makeup artist.
I will say that I think you got a little bit
of eyebrow up there, but everything else looks
perfect.
I was trying to go for the Culpo big brows.
Okay let’s look.
Can we do it?
Yeah.
—Whoa. —Okay this is not good.
You liar!
Do you see me right now?
This is not blended at all.
Yours is blended to perfection
—and you used your finger. —It is?
No.
I don’t feel like mine is perfect.
Yes it is.
High-five!
I’m gonna need some floss.
Amazing!
I hope everybody can try this at home.
And you can learn that it is difficult,
but not impossible to do your makeup without a
mirror and even a red lip.
Alright well I think it was a very clear
that you won the challenge.
No I think you won the challenge.
You did such a good job.
She’s a liar.
