- What's up beautiful people, it's your homegirl Shameless
all up in your building and I have missed you,
I've missed this, I've missed all of this.
And so I wanted to keep you updated on what I've been doing
as I get into this makeup look.
This is going to be my clean, beauty, makeup tutorial.
(upbeat music)
This video is sponsored by bareMinerals and their
Complexion Rescue, I have been using this
and it's so ideal for summer time.
It has SPF, a moisturizer and a foundation.
So, with all the travel I've been doing to very hot places
this is perfect ideal for everything.
So this is gonna be the foundation and then we're gonna
build off of that and then get into the nitty gritty
between all of this so I'm gonna be using chestnut
and I'm gonna start here on my cheeks.
My T-Zone is darker than my cheeks so
it will all even out at the end of it.
And it has titanium dioxide which is a mineral
that is safe and effective to block out harmful UV light.
There's a ton of great ingredients that are
plant derived, coconut, marine botanicals,
squalling which I learned all about in Australia.
Click over here to watch all of that.
The dewiness of it all, while protecting, she's here for it.
I'll be using the neutral eye shadow pallet by bareMinerals
and I got all of this at the bareMinerals event
that I went to with cousin Jay.
So we're just playing with makeup,
they gave us all this makeup to play with.
And just like that into the bag.
Let's catch up where I've been.
So I was in New York,
I was speaking at Black Woman Talk Tech, so inspiring.
I'm using this color over here, shablam.
New York, dream big.
I was in a room full of women,
they all had big ideas, big visions, big dreams
and I'm like, I dreamt of this life when I was in New York.
Of being Shameless and of getting out of being a
cocktail waitress and struggling and New York
I give credit for helping me realize that dream.
But now it's like what's the new dream?
'Cause there's always new dreams.
So it was just refreshing to be in a room of
powerful people and sometimes we forget,
that we're all just people.
It's not about supernatural abilities,
it's I mean, if it isn't about supernatural abilities
it's about believing in yourself and believing in God
to get you there because if
it's big and terrifying, that's where you wanna be.
If it's just like within arms reach then,
she ain't big enough.
I'm just using this color over here.
Oh I like this.
I like the color I have on my lid.
This is gonna be a very,
rosy, neutral summer look.
So that was New York and straight from New York
I went to Trinidad, Trinidad is just fun, it's fun Maya,
Trini fun Maya and I love that Maya.
I love that she's so carefree,
she just wants to have fun despite her sickness
she's just out here living her best life.
And while I was in Trinidad,
I don't know if I should say this,
'cause some of you guys saw on my social media
that I may or may not have met someone.
And I think it's because I was just like living life
and having fun, just being open to energies
with zero expectations so that's what Trinidad is all about.
And then I come back home to LA and I'm just like
she's gone, Trini Maya's gone, now it's back to
hustle Maya, loner Maya, oh man.
Okay and then from Trinidad, I did come back
with a nice part one of my tan,
this is part two of the tan 'cause then I went to Australia,
I was in Australia for two weeks and that was so much fun.
Australia Maya was all about finding her tribe.
I have a really good friend in Australia, Sarah.
And I met her here in LA, we were both in improv class
and this was three years ago and she's since gone on,
four years ago, it's been four years Sarah.
She's since gone on to be a writer, producer, director
and she's killing it and I went to her
wrap party and it was just nice to be around creatives that
are dreaming and making and doing stuff and
in LA it can be kind of isolating for me because
I live on the west side and nobody lives on the west side.
Shannon lives on the east side,
my friend Jesse lives in the north side
and it was just nice to be all the way in Australia
to find my tribe, would you look at that what are the odds?
How are we feeling about this?
She's very dewy, I'm gonna set her.
No, wrong brush, wrong brush.
But it's all just very fascinating just to travel yes,
travel is great, if you can.
And if you can't, travel within your own state.
Your own city and that might be just as simple
as leaving your house.
You'd be shocked at how many people just
don't go out of their comfort zone.
Like going to a different neighborhood.
That could be considered travel
and so if you don't have the means to hop on a plane
or any of that, just get out of your neighborhood.
Somewhere safe, preferably with a friend.
And just experience life.
Did she blend her right?
Okay so I'm gonna set this because
these lights, they're not being very forgiving right now.
So I'm using the mineral veil, I'm gonna put her everywhere.
Yeah so traveling outside of your comfort zone,
please be quiet traffic,
you just learn more about yourself.
And I think at least for me it's learning more about
myself and learning what I really want.
What do I truly want?
2019 there are so many options.
And social media just changed the game
and it's just like what do you want?
Yes watching things can help and seeing things can help.
But what you really want can be confusing when everyone
is showing you what they want.
And just going back in.
That's another thing I'm learning, remembering who you are.
Remember who you are.
Because I think when we're all in a really positive place
we know who we are, we're our higher self,
we're children of God,
we are beautiful, strong, independent, fierce, intelligent,
patient, kind, all of the above.
But then when life throws curve balls it's really,
how much of that sticks, this is the brow master
sculpting pencil in coffee.
I hope this microphone wasn't rubbing.
There she is, yeah, so, here we are,
I'm learning so much about myself
and learning what I truly want,
'cause sometimes I can get lost in the sauce.
And sometimes I want a lot of things
and I'm just like Maya, prioritize,
which are you going to go after first?
And can you multitask better?
I would like to it's just challenging.
It just takes a lot of learning.
So I'd love to know, what city or country
taught you something new?
Like when you think of a city or country
that you've traveled to,
or even the state or city that you live in,
what has that taught you?
Toronto, family hands down, I'm so blessed to
have an amazing extended family.
Oh my god I'm gonna cry I think I miss them so much.
Don't, pull it together, I miss them so much.
Oh girl.
I miss you guys.
Okay, we're gonna use this blush, You Had Me at Merlot.
Toronto is family, New York is dream, Trinidad is have fun
and LA is love and I'm learning how to love outside of
myself in the form of a man and it's really terrifying
and scary because when you've been hurt so much in the past,
girl you better not ruin this.
The struggle becomes still having an open heart
to this person you don't know yet.
So being smart, taking the lessons you've learned
from the past while being open it's just,
life is just hard, it's hard when you don't have the,
when you didn't, everyone has a different starting
part in life, like some of us have a head start.
Whether it was like a good school, good parents,
good family, whatever the case is.
And that's ultimately what my goal is right now.
Sorting through all this so I can have a dope family.
I really want a dope family, I don't want a husband
and I don't want kids, I want a happy and healthy family.
That's what I want, so I am looking at all the
choices that I make, this is the bareMinerals Bare Skin,
to ensure that I am sticking to that.
Oh child girl, you know when you don't wanna cry
and then your nose just goes all runny.
That's kinda what's happening right now.
Okay, clearly I miss my family.
I need to go and visit.
It's because so much stuff is happening back home.
My cousin just had a baby and I haven't even seen him yet
and Auntie Maya misses everyone.
Here we are in LA alone, isolated.
But that's fine.
I have the Holy Spirit and God with me.
So, we gon' be all right.
(crying)
Thank God I have faith, my goodness.
I'd be so lost.
We're gonna go under here and use my tears
as setting for my eye shadow, it's perfect.
Oh my god, I've missed you guys so much.
And even that like, learning the balance because
for a minute it wasn't just me but like all of social media
was like oh my god what am I doing with my life,
I'm so depressed, why I left social media.
But it's just figuring out your balance and
stepping away from the things that
are making you confused.
Sometimes you have to step back and get a better perspective
I mean I'm pretty impressed currently.
I'm gonna use the Bare Pro Glow in Fierce.
This is really cute, she's gold.
So yeah that's where she's at.
Holding it together, can't stop won't stop.
You know I do wanna stop though.
Sometimes I'm just like oh what is it all for?
But then I'm like no, no, no, challenge yourself.
One foot in front of the other, keep going.
I mean if Beyonce's documentary didn't inspire everyone
I don't know what will.
Lashtopia going in.
I just like to look at life as a novel if you will.
A memoir, chapters.
And I'm also in addition to all the traveling,
I'm in like learning mode, I'm always in learning mode but,
I've been, you know obviously in the writing mode.
Studying scripted comedies, love it, here for it.
I feel way more confident, not because I'm writing
but I'm writing, I'm listening to podcasts,
I'm doing the work and there's nothing more satisfying
than doing the work to get to your dreams.
First you have the prayer and the intention or the goal
written down and then you gotta do the steps
to follow through and I'm just so proud
that I'm actually doing the steps.
That's like the most satisfying part.
Gary Vee says that it's a process, ja know?
It's a journey, it's a journey getting there.
And once you get there you start a new journey.
Okay this is clearly like conditioner,
you know sometimes when you put mascara on
it just gets all chunky and dry?
Not this.
I don't generally put mascara on the bottom
'cause my skin is so oily that it just,
I don't know I just don't like it either.
Gonna add a little shine in the corners.
What else can I talk to you about?
Yeah, LA, lonely.
But taking this time to just figure it all out.
Let me do this on my nose.
Gonna use bareMinerals Hype, Hype Squad.
Okay so now I'm using the Bare Mineral, Warmth,
I'm gonna warm her up.
They say like use like a gray color, why would I do that?
To each your own, there are no rules.
So I'm just gonna warm up her parameters.
I know when I'm excited for the next chapter
is when I'm afraid of the next chapter.
I'm currently afraid of this next chapter of my life.
So this is the clean beauty look.
I think I, how many products did I use?
Let me know in the comments below.
'Cause she's down there and I just need to put on some
earrings, aha, they're in my pocket.
And I would've probably curled add like a little bump
on this but I'm not trying to damage my hair.
How about let's flip it to the other side,
there problem solved.
Is the problem really solved?
There, okay, we'll trick it for now.
This is the look, I hope you enjoyed this.
Just talk to me, I would just, it can be about anything,
I will be here reading and writing.
I really have missed you and I'm so grateful for just,
for this, because as much as you might find my videos
inspiring, I find you inspiring too,
so the more I can hear from you,
the more I can get in your minds,
the more I can just feel less alone in this world.
Until next time remember to do you, be you
and stay true to you, be shameless.
