Hello everyone, welcome back. Thank you so much for joining me. So today, as you
can see by the title of this video we are reacting to Bella Poarch's
signature TikTok makeup routine/beauty secrets from Vogue.
So Bella Poarch, I follow, actually follow personally,
so it's been good to see that kind of like quick progression into a music
career. I think she was made for a music career to be fair, she can sing, she has
this amazing like personal style and image. But one thing I've never seen her
do is her makeup, and of course she had that
kind of like signature... I want to say sunburn but it's not
really sunburned, because it's, it's nicer than sunburn look. So, I
believe that's what she's creating today in this
video, so that's what we're gonna look at today. For those of you who are just
joining me here, 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 are interested in,
then do please consider subscribing. So what we look at in these reaction videos
is the makeup application, and I always kind of take it from the view if I was
to be doing their makeup, what I would personally do for their
face shape. Oh my god, I haven't said this in forever.
So, so I know some people will say there are no rules to make up, and I always
like to say there are no rules to creativity,
individuality and your own personality, however, makeup like every other art has
a theory, and these videos are mainly for people
who want to learn that theory or like to incorporate different bits of
theory into their own makeup routine. So let's take a look, ah...
so she does do a bit of skincare in the beginning, I'm skipping past that because
I don't know anything about skincare. But it's good to see doing skincare
before makeup. So yeah, let's have a look. “Now that
I'm done with my skincare routine, my first step for my makeup is
foundation. I use this by Morphe. I just take like, like
one pump.” Okay, let's stop right there first. It's very nice to see...
one of my biggest pet peeves with... sorry, I have this lip product on and I,
it's gathering really giving me like shmoo
mouth. Okay. It's really nice to see a foundation
being done on social media that isn't dripped directly onto the face,
and just one pump. Here's the deal right with
foundations, here's a few things that people make
sometimes, like a mistake. Full coverage, first of all, doesn't mean
loads of product. The foundation, if it's a full coverage foundation
then you just use the same amount you would any other foundation. It's been
formulated to be full coverage. If you need more, then go on with a
little bit more until you're satisfied, don't just shove it all on the face.
Here's why I don't like products being pumped onto the skin, as a makeup artist
you shouldn't be doing that anyway, if you're watching this
you should be hygienic. But as an individual it's a waste of your product,
you might not need that much. One pump you do on your cheek
actually might be enough to cover the full face, so you're kind of wasting your
money a little bit. If you're concerned with with budget, you
might be very lucky and, you know, can buy one foundation a day, you never know.
But by pumping on the face you're not really getting a good representation of
how much product you actually need. So to put it on, I personally like to put,
use the back of my hand or a pallet. One pump, build up. One,
another pump if you want more, build up, and then,
you know, place it in areas where you need may need a little bit more coverage.
So it is really nice to see this one pump of product
being used on the hand first of all, and for the face.
Now she's applying with her fingers. I, somebody commented recently
about using fingers and saying that it may make the foundation look uneven
and patchy, which I have to disagree with. It depends how you're applying
it. I personally, with fingers, I like to start in the middle of the face
and tap like this, and then rub, tap, rub, tap. You can see where you're getting
your coverage and where you're not, and you can visually see
patchiness. I actually find sometimes with Beauty Blenders or beauty sponges
some of them, not all of them, there are some great ones, you do, you get patchiness
also depending how much pressure you're
putting, and same with brushes. So fingers is a great tool. Fingers are such an
amazing tool for makeup. It also gives us a more natural look to the skin.
So if you're trying to be more natural with your foundation, let your body warm
up that product a little bit.
“It's been like a crazy year for me. I, I downloaded TikTok
last year, around January, for fun. Because my friends were like
recommending it." It's insane how quickly social media, and
especially a platform like TikTok, how you're
launched from one, you know, being just yourself, just doing you.
To this crazy, you know, a career, this... Owww. "I grew up with, watching anime, the
girls in the anime they have like really like
rosy cheeks and that's how I got inspired to do like
my rosy pink cheeks on TikTok. Whenever I wear it out in
public people would ask me is your face burnt? Or did you get like
sunburn?” This is such a good point because some
looks that are like an understood look
online, it looks great online but in real life it can look a little bit
well like a sunburn really. Like she said, it can look a little bit different
in real life. So do make sure you adapt your makeup
to real, to real life, real lighting but also be
like yeah I am f*cking sunburned and it's cute.
But it's not, be careful of your skin but it looks cute.
Oh also, the way she is blending out this foundation is amazing,
really light, delicate with a Beauty Blender.
Tapping that product in place where she applied it, instead of moving it around
the face. Looks good. Her skin still looks
incredibly glowy. She has good skin anyway so it's nice to
see that skin showing through. Um, yeah.
"... but I think it's really cute. When I did the
M to the B video last year and it was like the, my TikTok
that went viral, I woke up the next day and I had like a
million likes. I was still in shock because I was like, oh
my gosh that's, that's a lot of likes. My next step is concealer, I use
Nars concealer. I just put it under like
under my eyes just a little bit, just like that.
My next step is...” Really nice concealer application as well. I know everybody at
the minute, and sometimes I advise to do it here and here
but that is mainly for like product control
and how much you're using. Because we're so used to these bold
massive hideous triangles of color under the eye.
That if you look at Bella's face here, she has an amazing bright under eye just
from that small amount of product. Look at her skin, her skin looks
flawless and the amount of product she's used
is very minimal but she still has this amazing, amazing finish.
And again, that's not to say you can't do full coverage foundation but full
coverage, again, doesn't mean excess, excess product ever. I think
online has taught us some really bad habits of just dropping product all over
our face and smashing it into our face. It's nice to see a delicate
application. And I do like the way she started
just here, and that's one thing I think is a really great idea, is to blend your
foundation where it's, sorry concealer, where it's needed
first. That's why a lot of the time I start on the inside corner,
because a lot of people have those darker inside corners and you can tap it
and build it up, and then same with the outside corner, tap it and build it up,
and then blend across any excess product that is on whatever you're using to
apply, your brush, your sponge, your finger. If you have an overall darkness, start
down here, don't bring it all the way up, just yet. Blend it all in first, get
it warm to the skin and then bring the excess up. It also helps
with creasing under the eye not to get too much creasing, the more product
you have the more creasing there is. “Next step is my eyebrows. It's, I use
Benefit.
The difference between like Philippine makeup
and the US makeup, is that Philippines they don't really like foundation or
like really thick makeup, and I noticed they like to put like the
middle part of your lips like, make it like
reddish pink. That's basically like the the look. Growing up I didn't really, I
wasn't allowed to wear makeup in school. So like all my friends
have like lipstick on, and they have like eyeliner,
I wasn't allowed to, so I was always jealous. Okay, so the next step
is, I use this bronzer by Charlotte Tilbury. I really like it, I've been using
it for a while now. First I start off with like
my cheeks.”
Pause, pause, pause. Okay, so let's talk about the brushes she's using, where she's holding it and the
product she's using. She's using a bronzer
and I talk about this alot... oh my god I have to lean over.
And I have, I talk about this a lot as well because of
bronzer application. Do I have a bronzer? Do I have to film something after this? I
do don't I? Okay, let's do it anyway. So what's really
nice about her application here, first of all, where she's holding the
brush and the type of brushe she's using. There's two kinds of brushes I like to
use with bronzer. One is an angled blusher brush, because you get more
precision and one is a bigger brush like this. When
it has that bounce and one that has like a more of a rounder shape. Not one like
this, which is this thin... I don't know what it is with thin
brushes and skinny brushes, and people using bronzer.
I despise those brushes that come with like the Benefit bronzers, for example.
But if you take a look at the different application, I'm going to take a bit of
bronzer and what, and what Bella's doing here is
she's bouncing it off the skin, and she's getting this really kind of
nice application. And where she's holding the brush,
because it's further up but in the middle you still get a good application
of color but you don't get too much density.
Whereas, what I see a lot of people do is holding the brush right down here
going in there bronzer like this, and then doing this, and you get... okay, maybe
that's a bit too much but do you see what I mean, by where
you're holding the brush you get that, such a different
application. I'm gonna have to sit here with this to my face now.
It's always better to be able to build up your product
gradually, then go in full like this, and then have to try and fix it, you know.
So ignore that side of my face, I'm just going to keep it like that for the rest
of the video. “I like to like contour my nose, I just
use like my finger. It matches my skin pretty well. That's
all what, what I do for the contour and
the bronzer.” It's a really nice bronzer shade as well she's chosen, it's not too
orange. And it, you can see just from this
there's still here, look where the lights catching her face,
especially on the forehead. She has this really nice shadow of
bronze around her hairline, on the cheeks but the middle of her face is still
glowing and it look, it looks incredible. It looks like the light and
the sun has naturally caught her face.
So do be careful where you apply bronzer because it really does change up
the look of your face overall. “Next, I'm gonna do
my lips and I get this one, Charlotte Tilbury,
and it's Pillow Talk. It's like one of my favorite lip liners.
So as you can see, my upper lip is like darker than my bottom lip. My
Filipino friends have like the same and they always hated it, they're like,
how do I get like just pink upper lip, because it's like a
Filipino thing I guess. I feel like you just gotta embrace like
where you're from. And I came to the United States when I was like 14
and I got bullied a lot, and yeah. So many bad experiences I went
through in high school just because of what I
look like. I feel like it still happens a lot,
and it needs to be like talked about more,
because it's not okay to like bully people because of where they came
from, or what they look like." Kids are f*cking awful but you know
where they learn it, the parents. Here's the thing with, with lips and
having a top lip darker than the bottom lip... oh my God, I can't, I can't
look at that sorry, I need to do my foundation. I can't look at that anymore.
Different tones on the skin is completely natural,
darker top lip natural, darker elbows natural, darker armpits
completely natural, deeper, deeper jaw area, deeper forehead com...
completely natural. For the lips, if you do want to even them out maybe
you want to even out your lipstick color or something, you can do exactly
what she's done here and that's using a neutral lip liner,
or even a lip liner that is your skin tone, and just doing that on,
on your whole lips and then whacking your lipstick on top, or like a pinky
tone like she's used there as well. Oh, what's happening? Is, is a great,
is a great thing to do. "My next step is lipstick and this is my
favorite from Gucci.
I couldn't afford this probably like a year ago, I'm just so
grateful now that I can afford this, these like
things and I'm very grateful. I want to make everyone proud and
especially Philippines like, that's my home. Now we have
the blush. A lot of people ask me what I use,
and how I do my, my classic M to the B Bella sunburn look. The trick
to it is you put it, not too close to like your
under eye, like under your eyes and make it look like you just got sunburned.
A lot of people use makeup brushes for like their entire face, I feel like
sometimes it's good to use like your your fingers because
you can control how much you put in it, and then you can
make it look natural.” Yeah, the great thing about fingers is that warmth from
your body. And even if you you're physically cold
it will warm up the product. And, and you can look at the finish of
everything she's done, it has this natural, like she said, natural finish to
it. So if you did want really natural,
fingers is one of the best tools to use. I love going in with fingers with the,
with concealer under the eyes, warming product up and just really, you
know, getting involved in your face. The reason why this looks like sunburn
up here, is because that's one of the highest points of the
face, and usually when we sunburn is, is the highest points of the face. Now
that's not to say only put SPF on the highest points of the face, it
needs to go everywhere, Gwyneth. But it does kind of like, like I
have, can you see here I have like a sunburn there and that's
because it sits on the highest point of my cheek. So if
you do want this look then that's great advice. Do it higher up
because that's where the sun would naturally burn you,
and also around the hairline if you wanted to do that too. Oh, and that's the
same with highlight, for example. You, you can apply a highlight where
the light catches your... this bronzer, you can apply highlight where
the light catches your skin naturally and it looks more like a natural highlight.
"It looks so much better. Don't forget to like put concealer
just so it can lighten up in this part, just put a little bit on top of like
your nose bridge, and then to exaggerate more,
put more on these areas. Next step, highlighter. You notice like in my M to the B
video my face is kind of like glowy and like very shiny, it's because of the
highlighter. First I put it on my finger, and then I put it on the tip of my nose,
and then you put it on your chin too to make it
look shiny, cute. Put a little bit on the cheeks.
Now you guys know how to do it. I use this for like
my eye makeup and everything, this is literally the only brush, and so I just
put some like right here." One thing I would advise with highlighter
on the chin, is to experiment to see if it suits you,
because on some people it looks like sweat and dribble on the
chin. For example, if I was to put highlights in the middle of my forehead,
because I'm quite oily it exaggerates that oiliness and that
sweatiness. It looks great on some people and some
people not so much. So do experiment with your placement of your highlighter as
well. I, I just I want to take off my
makeup and just apply it all with my fingers. I've been, I
feel really like inspired to just get everything on my fingers.
"So now, last thing, I'm gonna brush out my eyelash extensions. This is the, the look."
"Thank you guys so much for watching.” Okay,
well that was Bella Poarch and her signature TikTok makeup look.
I really, I really liked that. I really, really, like I said, I kind of want to
take my makeup off, which I think I'm going to do,
and just whack on everything with my fingers. It's so nice to see
how smoothly, and how almost everything looks creamy on the skin.
Everything looks like it has that natural glow. The skin looks healthy,
it doesn't look caked, it doesn't look like makeup. And again,
that's the thing, even if you want to do full coverage, you can do full coverage
and, and it not look like a physical kind of
like texture on the skin. Yeah, it looks, it looked really,
really great. I liked the placement, I liked the lip color.
Let me know what you think below, let me know, do you prefer to use brushes or
your fingers when you're doing your makeup.
