- Is it four dollars?
What, uh uh, is eyeliner always that expense?
What, y'all out here paying four dollars for eyeliner, stop.
Today we are doing the $25 dollar makeup challenge.
Three of us are going to three different makeup locations
with only $25 to see how much
of a full face we can complete.
(rap music)
♫ Hey I just do what I do
♫ See me, I do what I do
♫ Man, I just do what I do
♫ I don't know about you, I just do what I do
I'm feeling pretty optimistic.
I think I can definitely succeed at the challenge,
because my makeup routine is pretty minimal.
And also CVS has like everything,
so surely they have something
that can really give me a good slay.
- I am at NYX Professional Makeup store
in Union Square, New York City.
And I'm about to go inside
and see how much of a complete look I can get for $25.
I think I'm gonna do well, I believe in myself.
I think I'm gonna fucking rock this.
- I'm here, outside of MAC in Union Square in New York.
I'm terrified, but I'm ready for this challenge, let's go.
(upbeat music)
So, I've been walking around MAC for like five minutes.
I'm debating if I want to take like a lipstick
and make it super universal
as in like brows, eyeliner, contour, lip
all with one product.
That sounds as crazy as I just said it.
- So ordinarily, I would definitely use liquid eyeliner.
However, this liquid eyeliner is four dollars,
and I'm not trying to spend that much.
- What I need to do is like get some products
that are like versatile,
that I can use as like eyes and lips maybe,
or like lips and blush, people do that.
- Alright y'all, that time has come.
I thought I was in good shape, but I don't know.
I'm not feeling so confident anymore.
I'm a little bit scared, we'll see.
(upbeat music)
(cha-ching)
- I have a lot of really grand dreams
of what I'm gonna do with these four products,
but whether or not I can actually execute it
is questionable.
(cha ching)
- This is going to be a fucking thing,
and I am not confident in myself the slightest.
(cha ching)
- I'm gonna start with like the simplest and safest thing,
which is eyeliner for me.
It's a pencil eyeliner, shouts out to high school.
I ordinarily do kind of a wing too,
but I don't know if I can do it with pencil,
so I'm just gonna do a regular eyeliner.
- I got this like concealer that I'm going to use
kind of as foundation, hope that it works.
- Alright, so the color, I mean, it's clearly not my color.
It looks actually as bad as you think.
- I have this elf brow palette.
I'm hoping it works, I'm a little bit nervous.
I mean for four dollars, it's not bad.
- Glossy eyes are in,
you can like put a little lipstick on your eyes.
I'm taking like just like a tiny, just a tiny, tiny bit.
Ooh, I don't hate it.
- I'm supposed to put on a contour.
(gasps)
Okay!
- So this is the lip, it's by Milani.
I'm gonna try to apply a little bit
and some blush and hope for the best.
I regret it already.
- Now I'm gonna try to put the darkest color on my lips.
I don't know guys.
That's it, huh, well.
- I'm shocked because I think going into this,
I was like very nervous about like
what I could actually do on my own.
But I think it worked out, it definitely,
it's not like my most perfect, glam everyday look
that I normally like to wear, but it's definitely a look.
- I know I for sure didn't win this challenge,
but I think I gave it my best shot.
And you know what, whoever had the most fun won.
I didn't even have the most fun, though.
- This challenge really forced me
to make certain products multi-use.
Whether you have $25 or $25,000,
you can definitely still look cute
and you don't have to spend your life savings trying.
