Hey everyone! This is my boyfriend, Ben, as many of you guys know
and today he'll be doing my makeup!
I don't know what any of this stuff is!
I laid out the bare minimum, but did you do any research at all?
I looked at Si and Soph's, but it's tough because Si also doesn't know what's doing
so it's like the blind leading the blind.
Their video was really funny. You can watch it here if you haven't already
Let's just go ahead and get started! Let's do this.
Right! So first up I am going to do primer.
This is where Si helped me out because I had no idea what primer was before
so we're gonna go with this. - Yep!
Ooh, that's quite thick.
I really thought it'd just be like a moisturizer.
Alright I'm just gonna put this- - Wow, that's a lotta primer
I don't know if I'm supposed- - Oh! Did you wash your hands?
- Yep. - Okay. With soap? - Yep!
You had that headband thing, didn't you?
We were looking at photos the other day.
It's so ridiculous. - Put it up here!
Me and Stephanie just wore this randomly in San Francisco
I don't remember what you were wearing. Probably wearing this?
- Probably something black.
I am gonna go with the concealer. It's not quite foundation yet.
I think this is one that you do under your eyes. There we go.
A little bit up there maybe?
A little bit on the nose? Probably don't need to do that.
Conceal it on the nose.
You use this guy quite a lot, right? - I do! It's my favorite guy.
What's it called? Lil blob sponge?
Blob sponge?!
That's what it should be called actually! - Just blob it on!
It's called the Beautyblender. - Beautyblender. That is probably a better name for this
The things I miss from England: Obviously friends and family and stuff
but the main thing is actually Heinz Baked Beans
If you don't know what it is, it's because this country for some reason just doesn't sell it
I don't get it because they're the best things in the world.
I know! Our beans are really sweet, like the BBQ beans? It's like candy and I never liked it
So now that the concealer has been concealed, we will go for foundation.
You're off to a really good start!
I'm just worried about all the intricate parts with the eyes and stuff.
Ahh, using my little technique?
The only way I know how to do this is just because whenever you're doing makeup I see her in different stages, and this is one of them.
"Can you please pass the water?" *in a bad English accent*
"C'mon! I wanna water?!" *in a bad American accent*
So I think that's good! Lock it down with a powder.
I'm using Rimmel London Stay Matte.
Is this the one you use? The big brush?
I mean it looks the same if you kinda, y'know?
So me and Stephanie are gonna be Ken and Ryu from Street Fighter.
I got this like red child-sized karate suit, so I'm excited.
I'm going as Eleven, if you haven't seen Stranger Things a lot of people say I look like her
Bear in mind, it's a 12 year old girl.
It looks nice!
Next up we will go for the eyebrows!
Precisely My Brow Pencil
It's like a rocket. What's this side? - Oooooh!
Now that just got a whole lot more confusing.
For us it's really eating is the main thing, isn't it?
Eating is our number one top activity.
- I think Cinespia. Seeing a film in the park. - I know! It's so nice! - Having a picnic.
It's so fun to have our little picnic basket. We really got a lot of us outta that!
We love our picnics! Just being outdoors and eating.
Yeah! We're quite outdoorsy as well. We like hikes and doing things like that
but we like staying in. We kinda like anything really.
But remember that time we accidentally hiked 15 miles?
- Oh god! Sorry about that. - It was in Orange County somewhere.
Yeah, we went to Anaheim Packing House for some lunch and we decided to go for a little 3 mile hike.
We looked it up.
We had our jeans on, y' know? We didn't have our hiking attire.
I had my heeled boots. I didn't think I was gonna go on a journey.
Almost towards the end, there was a junction where you had to go left or right.
And for some reason. You know what it's like when you're convinced you're right
And I was convinced I was right and guess who was correct?
We're not one of those couples that are like, "No, I'm right." It was one of those
I was like, "Look babe, I really think I'm right." and I believed it.
And I was like, "Well I'm sure it's this way, but we'll go your way."
It was crazy. It was a very smug hike because I was like, "I told you so..."
but it was just a really long "I told you so." because we had to walk
We went the wrong way and from a 3-mile hike turned into a 10 mile hike.
I mean I was pretty much sold from the first conversation.
We were at a bar in San Francisco. - It was very chill.
It was like a dive bar with some friends.
We got on well. We were chatting. It wasn't anything too crazy.
Yeah! It wasn't romantic at all.
It was a casual get together.
You know when you know. I was talking and I was like,
"There's something about this girl" and ironically I flew back to England the day after or something
and as we landed I tweeted you saying, "Good hangs, Jen."
- with one "N" - With one "N"
But it still worked! Somehow still worked.
He slid into my DMs after that.
You can spend hours doing this because I have a feeling I actually might be spending hours doing this.
Yeah! You've been on the brows for a bit.
That'll do for now.
So now I'm going to start with some eyeshadow - Yeppers!
so I need a little brush.
That's my favorite brush!
This is the hard part cos you got loads of palettes
Estee Edit by Estee Lauder.
What kinda makeup are you gonna give me? Like where am I going?
So I'm gonna go for more of a nightclub kinda - Nightclub?!
Well so you don't have to see all the smudges. We'll go for a slightly smokey vibe.
Okay! Sounds good.
Alright eyes closed please.
Every now and again, you'll get like a jacket or something.
It'll be like pink fluffy things with this crazy stuff and I'll be like, "Oh, I don't like that."
but then you'll put on like a nice hat, different bottoms and I'll be like, "How'd you make that work?"
I can't really think of anything I don't like.
I feel like Ben and I have quite similar fashion taste. - Yeah.
I feel like there are certain combinations that just aren't quite right
and I like Ben's second opinion about it. - Yeah, you do ask me!
Like remember when I tried to make the plaid pants with the distressed sweater work
and you were like, "It's just a bad fit."
I love you because you don't judge what I wear at all. You're the most open minded person.
I'm gonna intensify the eyeshadow with Lorac Pro. Oh, there's loads of options!
So I wanna go for like a darker one Not too bad.
I'm just gonna smoke out the edges here.
- I kinda wanna fly. - Fly?!
Especially in Downtown and fly around the buildings.
I just feel like you'd be breathing in so much of the smog.
I don't think you're gonna be that bothered if you're flying.
- Oh! Pollution!
I think for my power, I'm just gonna stick with my very old answer
of just being able to persuade people. Have you guys seen Heroes?
Well there's like this one character where her power was no matter what she said the other person just believed it.
So she'd get out of parking tickets. She could rob people.
Be like, "Give me all your money." "Okay!"
- So you wanna have superpowers you can rob people. - No no! I'm not gonna rob anyone!
But you know to have that much influence would be really cool
For the better!
Be like, "This is not something you should do." "Stop this war!"
"Give me loads of food!" "Alright!"
You know what everyone is like in this day and age.
"You should do this..." and before they've even ask the question, they're like, "No!"
"No, I don't believe in that. I'm gonna write about it on Twitter."
So here we have Tattoo Liner Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner
Wow! This is very precise.
You usually do quite a bit of a cat eye. - Yes!
So I'm gonna try attempt that!
- We gotta get close! - Right, here we go.
- Alright gonna caress you there.
- Starting strong. - It feels like you're doing a good job.
Mine's probably Bestia.
It's a great Italian restaurant in the Arts District. It's just unbelievable.
The wait is so long, but the key is to just get there at 5:30, right when it opens and then you'll get a table no problem.
We actually like eating early, don't we? - That's true.
We're like an old couple already where we can easily have dinner at 5PM.
Everytime someone wants to grab dinner and it's after 7, I'm like, "What?!"
Sometimes we'll go out for dinner after we've had dinner.
We'll have dinner at 6 and at 8, they'll be like, "Wanna grab dinner?"
and we'll be like, "I guess we can eat again." Dinner #2!
I like your method of wiping the edges. That's really smart.
I had to do that because it was starting to get quite bad.
So now you have to recreate it on this eye.
I'm trying to think of what my favorite restaurant is.
It always changes. I have different phases like I love Kazu Nori, but I just like to PostMates it.
You haven't had a hand roll until you've been to Kazu Nori.
Well maybe if you go to Japan there's probably better handrolls, but in LA, it'll do.
I just don't know how far this eyeliner is supposed to go. It doesn't look right.
I'm just gonna blend it in with a blending brush again
Lovely. Look at that. Right, that'll do for now.
Because I'm just gonna make them worse. - We gotta move on! - We have to move on.
Do you wanna do some fake lashes? or should I do mascara and this guy?
Let's do this guy.
- Okay. Are you.. - I feel good about this. - Please don't... really?
Alright, ready?
My lashes aren't that long. - I have got you. Don't worry.
This is where you see the real trust in the relationship.
I don't like the way you're holding it.
I feel like you don't know how far my face is. - It's okay. Come here.
Ahh!
Just have faith. Close your eyes. This is supposed to be nice-
AHH! I can't do this.
Fake lashes? - Yeah, let's just do fake lashes. I can't do it.
This is not as scary as the eyelash curler.
My eyes just feel really sticky.
So the eyes are kinda done. I'm gonna go for highlighter.
I say cheeky about everything, right? - Yeah, it's like a cheeky lil drink. A cheeky lil dance.
Just gonna go for a cheeky bit of lunch.
It just works and it's just fun to say. - Cheeki!
I've done the highlighter. Your face looks nice and highlighted.
Obviously it is like having a kid, isn't it? Like wake up in the morning to take turns and do shifts
to make sure she's been fed - Cleaning up her poop
And we are gonna end with the bronzer!
Carve those cheekbones.
Next up we have the lips.
Alright, remember do the - Ehhh!
And after this, we're almost done, right?
This is the final step!
I think I'm happy with that-ish.
Okay, let's see what it looks like on camera.
Alright! This is the finished look!
Yeah! What do you guys think?
Oh wow! The highlighter is really poppin!
Yeah, I think I put a quite a lot on.
So this is the finished look!
What do you guys think? Did he do a good job? Yes? No?
I feel like the knowledge was there, but the technique could use some work.
I wish we had some goes to practice. Maybe we'll do a part 2 after I do some practicing.
Oh my god. Watch, he's gonna be a makeup pro next time.
