Hello everyone, welcome back. Thank you so much for joining me. So, I already have my
makeup done today, I've just filmed it all and you're gonna see it happen as
we go through this video. But what I wanted to do for you today is, actually a
comment I got yesterday but this is now a week later. Someone asked to see
like my top 10 of things. And I was like, you know what, top 10, I... my opinion
changes on a lot of stuff quite frequently because I try a lot of stuff
quite frequent... frequently. So what I've done is I've chosen five products in
each category that I can be like, this is my top five but this is my top one from
those top five. I will of course will have a link below for
you to Shop My Shelf which is a link you can go to, it's an affiliate link.
Some are affiliate links, some aren't. More than likely they are, not that I'm
affiliated with every brand. It's like Magic Links, if you don't know what that
is you're gonna have to Google it because I don't have time to explain.
But you click on that, and you can click on the video and it will have
every single product featured in this video for you. Hey, so if this is your
first time here, hi, 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're interested in, then please do consider subscribing. And
talking about incredible products, I want to say a huge thank you to e.l.f for
sponsoring today's video and their Big Mood Mascara. This mascara is incredible.
I don't keep around many mascaras, I don't like a lot of brushes on mascaras
because at the end of the day mascaras, and their efficiency and the way they
work, all come down to the wand and the way the brushes is on the end. So this
mascara has an incredible hold on your lashes as well, and it plumps and lifts
your lashes. One thing you'll notice as well about this mascara, is when you
apply it, it is incredibly smooth on the lash. It glides over, glides upwards, and
it's a simple easy effortless application in just one stroke. You don't
have to go crazy building it up. The brush itself is more like that hourglass
kind of shape, and this is a really great shape for mascaras because it not only
separates lashes but you get a lot of definition in your lashes as well. Now, I
have terrible, terrible lashes in general so for them to be able to kind of
separate like this, and have some kind of definition is incredible. I burnt my
lashes a long time ago and they kind of just
stick, they kind of... they're just awful. But I found this actually did lift my
lashes. A lot of mascaras, for me, they kind of just all fall to the side
because that's how they sit naturally, they just, this sits this way, this sits
this way. Whereas like I said, this really gave it a lift. It's really easy to get
right to the bottom of the root and zigzag through, roll and zigzag, and lift up
those lashes. Now, it has that incredible texture, I never know how to say this
because it has Jojoba? Or Yahoba? I think it's your Jojoba, wax in it, which helps it
lock in the curl on your lash. The formula is also smudge and flake
resistant, no flakes.
The most irritating thing about mascara is flaking mascara. I will go ahead and
link the mascara below for you so you can go ahead and check it out yourself.
If you need your lashes to get that boost and that push of volume and length,
then I would definitely recommend this mascara. And thank you again to e.l.f for
sponsoring this video. Okay, where should we start?
Let's start how I would usually do my eye makeup, so
primer. No, brows, primer, all that kind of stuff. So we're gonna go in order from
five to one, one being the one I really really love, and then five being the one
I like and but still recommend. What was I doing? Eyebrows. And for brows I've
kind of done a mix of all the brow products, so
it's not, it's a bit of a dodgy one but yeah. So
number five for eyebrows is the Sample Beauty Brow Gel. I really, really like
this. There was one point where I was like obsessed with it. I was using it
every single day but it kind of came out when brands started to kind of release
their own kind of different brow products at the same time. And there's a
brow product that just beats Sample Beauty, which is going to be my number
one. So, this has a really great staying power in the brow. If you have thick
heavy brows, no brow product ever holds them in place, no matter what you do. This
is the one to go for. The cons with this one, you have to work
quite quickly because it dries so quickly. Taking it off can be a bit of
a battle but as long as you're double cleansing, using an oil or a balm to
melt that product then you should be absolutely fine. Don't pick it, because I
believe it might rip out your eyebrows. But if you have absolutely, if nothing
ever works for you, this is a great one to go for.
So number one is the Beauty Bay's Brushed Up Brows Brow Soap. Now, this is
really incredible. You can see I've made quite a dent in it... oh, there's some of my old
hairs in there. I've made quite a dent in this one because I really adore, adore
this one. So I don't, I use this wet and dry, I find it works
really well dry, I find it works really well wet as well. What I really like
about this one is, again, it holds my brow in place, completely. Like I've had this,
this was, my brows were the first thing I've done. I've been sitting here for
about an hour, I've been watching YouTube, and doing my makeup, and filming some
like bits, like TikTok bits in between, and they just hold in place. It grips
onto them, it really grips onto them. Why I prefer this to maybe the Sample Beauty
one I showed you before, is in terms of application I get to
choose... you can choose your own brow comb. But they do sell the bamboo ones that are
extremely affordable, it's just a lot more nicer application. And I wash these,
I, for myself. Like I will shampoo these, and brush clean them, and sanitize them,
and then just use them again until, until it's like physically falling apart and
splintering in my hand. Then I'll keep it, you know. Okay, let's take a look at
eye primers. So, number five for eye primers, for me, is the Urban Decay
Priming Potions. Not just this one, the other ones, my actual favorite is the one
in Eden, I believe it is. For me, because it's a little bit drier, my eyelids are
extremely oily. This is the original and has more of that silky texture, so if
you have drier eyelids this is a great one to go for. And the reason I really
like it is because there is something in those options for everyone. You can
buy one for a dryer lid, you can buy one for a more textured lid, you can get one
for an oilier lid. And eyeshadow sits so incredibly on top of them. I actually had
this one in my professional... not this one but this, a few of those in my
professional kit for a really long time. I like, I loved them. I was so in love
with them, and I still would, I still would put them in my kit. But they've been
replaced by my number one.
Our number one, Sigma Eyeshadow Base Primer. These are incredible. So I have
the shade... this is Ignite, right? Ignite. And
there's matte ones, this one's with shimmer, there's other, there's deeper tones.
They're absolutely amazing. And this is why this one is number one instead of
the e.l.f one, is it has that perfect mixture of being a cream but also tacky
and sticky enough. But not so much that it's going to interfere with the texture
of your lids. So it is a perfect, in my mind, a perfect eye primer. It is the best,
the best. Absolutely, absolutely perfect. It blends out easily. So I find I like to
use my fingers for it, and sometimes I'll use a brush for it. It depends how I'm
feeling that day. But it works just as well in in both situations. It also has a
sharpener underneath, so you can keep it nice and pointed, so you can get right
into these inside corners, which I don't really find necessary because it is
quite small anyway. But also the color versions of these, the ones with a little
bit of pink to it or... what other shades do I have? Like, there's some bronzy tones.
Work really nice as cream eyeshadow. So if you just want a quick eyeshadow to
tap on the lid and go, absolutely perfect, and you know it's not going to crease. So
I, I adore, adore, adore that one. Let's go on to
eyeshadow. Sigma's eyeshadows are extremely underrated. I absolutely love,
love, love Sigma's eyeshadow palettes. And they have, they have many different
ones along with the highlighter palettes, blusher palettes, everything like that,
and they have a few different palette options. They are really nicely pigmented.
I've been using this one, you can see I've used this shade here and this shade here,
to top some eyeshadows. I actually have ones that... I should maybe have got ones that I
actually use. But also as well, the great thing about these, I hate usually, I
usually hate... brushes that come in eyeshadow palettes
can be a bit, you know, a bit sh*t. Sigma, of
course, are known for their brushes and I adore their brushes and I use them all
the time. It's just an, it's just a Sigma brush in
here, so you know it's going to be as good as the brushes that you use anyway
if you use brushes from Sigma. And Sigma actually make like little, little
palettes now and they are beautiful, they are stunning, I love them. The texture is
amazing. The reason why they're no higher for me than five, is because
I would like to see some more vibrancy in the palettes. Which, I'm sure they're going
to get to at some point. There's a lot of, there's a
lot of eye shadow out there so I can see why a brand wouldn't be in a rush to
bring out something with a lot more color. I love a good nude palette.
Let's go to my number one choice for eyeshadow formula and texture, and that
is Beauty Bay. So Beauty Bay are, they were number one in the brows as well,
they're doing good. Beauty Bay's own eyeshadow formula, this is the one I used
for this look, is incredible. So incredibly affordable as
well, really good price points. These shimmers are like cream but stay
on, sit on the lids so incredibly well. The powder eyeshadows are also so
smooth. I've never used an eyeshadow palette from Beauty Bay and been
disappointed. I will grab them up. This one was gifted to me because I'm on
their PR now. This is their only, I think their first palette they... no, their
second palette they've gifted to me. But the first one I owned already, because I
will buy all their palettes, I think they are amazing. I have their big, the, the
big palettes because they're such good value for money. You get all those shades
in there. And I think a lot of us are in a position where we're very fortunate
where maybe we can buy one or two releases a, a month or,
you know, every few months. Whereas some people
may just be looking for that one palette that is going to carry them through. If
you are looking for one palette that you can use for everything,
natural eyes, color, go to Beauty Bay's 30... is it the 32? I'll put it up on the
screen. Go to their eyeshadow palettes, amazing, you will not be disappointed. And
you get really amazing high quality looks from it as well. I have used luxury
brands, for example, if you've seen my Dior video, Natasha Denona, which I've
been extremely disappointed by. I prefer Beauty Bay over that. Actually, I prefer
everything I've used here over them. But the Beauty Bay formula's are impeccable.
So do try those out, you're missing out if you haven't tried those already.
Okay, blush. So there's a mix of cream and, oh, I think they're mostly cream.
What you gonna do? So, in fifth place is the Illamasqua Color Veil. It actually
has more like a jelly texture than a cream. I really, really, really like
this one. The pigmentation is incredible, you get really good strong color
from it. The only reason why it's not higher than five is because,
I feel you have to work with it quite quickly,
and get it blended into the skin. Other than that, absolutely perfect.
Number one is something, again, you, I guess you don't see me using it a lot
because I'm either trying a new blush or doing something else. This is the 3CE.
Not to be confused with Mina, which is spelt with a '3'.
I use a 3CE product and someone
was like, it's pronounced Mina, and I was like no, that's a different brand. Who I
actually worked for in Australia, so I know who they are.
And this is the blush cushion, this is the shade Peach.
I, I, this is why I love these, and this is why they're my number one,
just the way they go on the skin. When you put the pad in, let me... oh, I don't
want to waste it. When you put this, the pad in initially,
and see the color you're like, no, that's way too much. But once you get it on the
skin it looks like, it becomes see-through, and
it becomes this really incredible tint to the skin. A tint with more color, with
incredible color payoff that looks just natural and incred... and just like, it
just becomes, I love a product that becomes part of your skin. It looks like
your skin, it looks, it looks like you're blushing from within and you
haven't just whacked it on your face. They are my number one. I adore 3CE as
a brand anyway but those blush cushions, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Okay,
what's next? Lips. We're almost there. So, number five, Juvia's Place lip glosses.
Stunning, beautiful. I don't wear many lipsticks by the way, so there's one
lipstick in this, that's it. Juvia's Place, I love all their lip products.
They're absolutely incredible. This one in particular, Sweet Beets, this shade.
It looks, does that not look edible, do you not want to drink
that purple? So, so nice. I absolutely love that shade.
They smell amazing they sit on the lip really well they're extremely
comfortable on their lip which is a big, big thing for me.
And let's go to number one, and these are number one because of texture, formula,
smell, just the way they look on the lips. And these are the Luna Beauty ip
glosses. These are amazing, these are so, so incredible. I
have never experienced a texture like this. This is like if a gloss
had a relationship with like water, and they had a baby and out came this, you
know, little water gloss baby. Incredible, absolutely amazing. So, so,
so comfortable on the lips. And there's something about the smell. I personally
mix these two, this one is Starlight, just for that kind of base color, and
then I use Selene which is like a shimmery, like glitter one.
I wouldn't say it's glittery, it's more like a shine. Like this. And they just look
stunning together. There's something about the smell, it smells almost like a
caramel. But they're so comfortable, I can't feel it on my lip right now, and I
just put two layers on and, but when I do this
it's so different. I think if you've worn it, you know exactly what I'm talking
about. It's like a water, if water could be stable and sit on your lip. Not like
ice, you know? I know ice is a thing but water, and not like gel but if water
could be like, I'm, I'm still water, and I'm so, and I'm,
I don't know, it's so hard to describe. But it's one of the most unique textures
I've tried, and it's so comfortable on the lip. But I just adore it, I just think
they are absolutely stunning. I buy, I think I have all of them. I think. I don't
know. Okay, I can do another one of these if you want. Primers, lashes, things like
that, I can do that as well. Thank you so much for joining me. Like I
said, things will be linked below, if you're not tired of hearing about it
by now. Thanks again to e.l.f for sponsoring this video. Like I said, that
amazing mascara is linked below for you. Thanks again everyone, I will see you
very soon, bye.
