It's so beautiful You do you really do I don't know how or why they they found me why they hire me But well because you're look because you make them look like this Okay, you guys let's go ahead and jump right in. Okay. I'm so excited about this. Lauren. I'm so excited Tell me what we're gonna be doing okay, so i'm gonna start with skin prep and I don't use a lot of like primers or anything because I think that it kind of Mixes with the foundation in a way that I don't love so I really just like to do heavy moisturizer And that's pretty much on everyone whether you're dry Oily, I love like a really hydrated base. Okay, no matter that's the best prep for makeup is really proper skincare Yes, and so i'm going to use the embryo lee slate cream Perfect. Okay, and people can buy this online. I discovered this brand like probably 20 years ago in europe. It's been around forever Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's like in pharmacies in europe, right? It's yes and it's like my tried and true It's always in my kit. It has been for 16 years. I like to go in personally just right with my fingers Yep, and kind of work it into the skin. That feels so good. You kind of can't overdo this It feels like it like just from my hand I could feel that it feels really hydrating but it doesn't feel heavy So hydrating and glowy and so I will just use this and completely skip primer. The only time I will do primer is If you tell me that you are super oily Every once in a while i'll use a little bit of like, um, the one size Oh, i'm forgetting like the mattifying one or oil controlling one the oil controlling one I think it's called like the oil slick and I will just kind of do it right here in the t-zone But definitely not all over. Yeah Yes, I find and I don't know if you agree with this But I find that like as I get older like so i'm 43 and I used to do wedding makeup Did you know that? No, I didn't. Yeah, that's how I started doing wedding makeup And so I knew you were a makeup artist, but I wasn't sure if you were doing weddings Yeah, I was doing weddings here in austin and uh with weddings It's like you do the bride you do the mom you do the grandma so you really are covering all you know Generations and um, you know the makeup that you do on the bride Obviously is very different than the makeup that you do on her mother or her grandmother and I find like with You know more mature skin like less is more like I say I tell people I wear a lot of products But I wear very little layers of all those products, right? That's my exact technique is I just do a ton of layers Just a ton of layers. Yes. This is uh, just a lineage I'm, just kind of kind of let this soak into your lips while we work on your makeup And you guys we have the dogs in here with us So you might hear a little you know noise from them here and there. They love me Take it away from me Okay, so I always start with eyes This is just my technique because I like to be able to make a big mess And then clean it up and i've been using the the p louise eyeshadow base for several years and this is my favorite I haven't tried that really. Yeah, where do you buy that? I got mine this time on amazon, but normally I will just order directly from her site Okay, she has some really great like eyeshadows and other things too. I like p louise. Okay, great It's a really good like affordable. So this is a primer that you use before I make up. Yes I really like to get that on there kind of a lot of it What brush are you using? Is it the concealer brush? This is the concealer brush my favorite It's a good one for um primer too or like cream or liquid shadows And do you put that all over the lid like up to the crease or where do you kind of stop? Yes, kind of all over all the way up to the eyebrow and once we get that on I like to set it with some powder. Mm. Okay. So you like to set the primer with powder? What if you're doing like a cream shadow or a liquid shadow? Do you also set it with a little powder? I guess it depends on which cream shadow you're using if it's one that you know for sure doesn't crease Then I think you can go without it But I think adding just a little bit of powder really helps like lock it in I feel like it also helps the shadows blend better because they don't they're not gonna like stick to wet primer I think this helps with longevity too and for powder. What kind of powder do you use? Um, I am using the kosis powder Okay, this one is in Shade airy, but I like airy pillowy and feathery. Okay. Oh, I have feathery. Yes. It's kind of lighter Yeah, these are good. These are really pretty. Oh that uh, eyeshadow base really blanks everything out It really blanks everything and then once you put this on too, this is like it has like a little bit of coverage I don't think it's a um foundation powder, but it has a tiny bit of coverage to it Yeah, so you use a sponge to really layer it on I use a triangle puff This really helps also like create the kind of eye shape you want to create with someone right? So yes Yeah Yeah, if you wanted to kind of like move the crease up a little bit You need everything to be completely blank and all the products that we were using I will link them in the description box and also tag them in youtube shopping so you guys can find them that way I'll have to get a list from you Yes, I use a lot of products because like I said, I like to layer so it's it's it's gonna be a lot of products I'm sure i've been non-stop using these patrick ta the six pan palettes I have the light that one's the medium. And so I have this one. Yeah. Oh, you do love it Clearly. Yes, those two shades Yeah, but I also have the light and the dark if you're a makeup artist and you have those three like You're kind of good. Yeah I feel like there's nothing more satisfying than seeing someone hit pan on my shadow palette, you know Do it all the time. So i'm just going to kind of start out here on the outer corner This is like a it's a medium shade a light to medium shade kind of a neutral brown But there's a little bit of warmth to it and all these are matte Yeah, and do you always use that in the crease like to start? Yes. And why is that? I just like the way that matte looks better. I anytime you put shimmer somewhere it tends to emphasize So I probably will put some shimmer on you, but i'll do that right here in the direct center So that emphasizes the center of your eyes. Yeah, i'm with mattes too It helps create more definition and shape because like shimmer reflects light so it kind of makes an area protrude more Right. And so in the crease you I want it to be more defined and on the lid. I want it to protrude right? I want the lid to pop. Yep in the crease to recede That's the way I think of makeup is in like shadows and highlights And so whichever parts of the face that you want to create depth You obviously want to add darkness in those places and the places that you want to pop you want to add light Yeah, i'm a big advocate for just blend your life away when in doubt blend it out I so I used to work for mac I was a trainer for the company and I so I started at the makeup counter and then I you know moved into Like a regional trainer position and I had a boss Her name was christine stafford and she was probably the most like fun spunky person human being I've ever met She had all these really cute sayings. One of them was like when in doubt blend it out She also like if you ever asked her like do I have too much blush on or do I have too much gloss on or? You know, whatever. She'd be like is a diamond too shiny I love that She also had this one and I it still sticks with me today I use it in a lot of my content when i'm trying to explain to someone that has like a dark Underneath their eye like not to go in with a really light concealer Right because christine would always say if you put a white pantyhose over a bruise, you ain't fooling anybody Oh, that's what she said and i'm like, you're right. Wait. I love that. That makes sense to me It does right it helps you kind of understand why that doesn't work. So when did you work at mac? So I worked at mac. I started when I was uh, it's either 18 or 19. I think I was 19 And gosh, when would that have been that would have been like 2001 Wow Yes, and I worked that is like peak mac days. I feel like I have to have been so fun It was I felt like I was just so cool You were so cool because I used to be like I want to be in that girl. Yeah, it was the best makeup school I never went to makeup school like it was just working at mac you learn, you know one by just doing makeup because that's where people would go to have their makeup done but then also just from being around all of those artists that were so talented and then when I became a trainer, so I Trained south texas. I had eight markets and I would travel and I would train all the new makeup artists and I would train Like um, not just new artists, but every three months they would do like mac update Which was basically training everyone around the new product that was coming out And so we would do that. That was the coolest experience, you know Like, you know, I definitely was not the best makeup artist there like there were people that I was training that were way better makeup artists than me and just learning from them and Also the different markets like going down to the border towns and seeing the way women wear makeup down there You know, it's just like so much different than here in austin texas Yeah, you know at the saks fifth avenue that I worked at which was very conservative and kind of more, you know natural neutrals I mean, it was just it was so cool. I'm still only using the same color. Okay I'm still creating depth by kind of like feathering it way out here on the brow bone itself This is the 202 And you've only used that. I've only used this brush That's great. It's so pretty like I love how you're taking it higher and further out Every time I get my makeup done makeup artists always pull it further out than I do and I love it And I think that's the key difference, you know, like I think it kind of makes your eye like an illusion of making your eyes Bigger yeah, and I love that doing the eyes first like you're doing you can go back with concealer and foundation to really clean up Where you want it to end? Yep I know that we don't like makeup wipes these days, but I do like to use a makeup wipe to kind of just Clean it up afterwards and sharpen it. Yeah. So tell me what your favorite foundation of the moment is right now This is like the ultimate question. This is what every single person asks me. I know it's hard because it depends right? Yeah, it depends here. Now i'm using the 205 and i'm going to go with just a little bit darker This one right here I have for years loved the danessa myrick's yummy skin foundation And anybody that knows me any of my clients any of the artists that I work with they know that I am constantly Talking about it. It's a serum foundation and it's so pretty What do you love about it? It mixes well with other foundations, too I rarely put one foundation on the skin and i'm satisfied So it mixes really well with other foundations It's a full coverage, but it still feels like skin. It still feels light. Yeah I will use some today and mix it with another foundation I actually don't know if i've used that she has a lot of really innovative products. She really does which I love She really does. Yeah. I love her color fix. Yes I think those products can be intimidating for like the average consumer But once you like kind of get over that hump and you play with it, it's like the best product. Absolutely I know this looks crazy right now It's okay. I promise you trust the process. Yeah. Yes This is why I don't put my clients in front of a mirror. I know if possible. I know yeah Because then they start asking. Oh, are we gonna do this? Are you gonna put foundation on me still? So you do a lot of weddings? I do. Yes. I'm not doing as many as I used to I've been doing weddings for 16 years and i'm kind of trying to slow down. They are hard work that I was Yeah. Yeah, I remember my wedding days. They were It was uh, there's so many great memories. They were so fun, but it is like you're on your feet all day I remember just coming home so exhausted. Yes I feel like it's a totally different feeling between weddings and then doing my personal clients I think I give my all in both situations, but i'm kind of an empath So I I take on those emotions of a wedding day. I am actually not even going to put anything on Your lid itself except for a shadow topper Okay. So what we're seeing now is just the eye primer we used just the eye primer and the powder. Okay Yep, so i'm just gonna go in with my finger and this is one of my favorite products Obviously i've hit pan on this too guys the urban decay space cowboy. I'm buying that today I meant to buy it around forever. Nikki uses this on me, too She when she did my makeup for the grammys i'm almost certain she did that. It's so pretty I don't know what it is about this specific because I have a lot of like shimmery toppers that I use Nothing compares to this. It's so pretty. Okay, i'm buying that It's got like warm and full tone shimmer and it's like sheer right? Like that's what I loved about it It's not like a heavy foiled shadow. It's just very sheer but very high impact, too I like it to be kind of like just a whisper. But yeah, there's there's a little bit of warmth in the undertones So you really don't need anything else. Are you a shimmer girl or do you usually prefer matte? I usually prefer matte Yeah, but I wear shimmer. Um when I you know have a special occasion or something i'll wear it But and they're not so silly as i'm saying that i'm like, why do you do that? Like why not wear it? I'm like not today. You're gonna be a shimmer girl I think it's just like my makeup has evolved over the years. I look back at like my 20s my mac days, you know Of course, you know, I wore lots more color shimmer high glam I would sit down and spend 45 minutes on my makeup because I had the time right? And I just don't have that time anymore So now my routine is much more like 10 to 15 minutes max and it's just kind of just more, you know Neutrals and kind of basic a basic look but I also feel like I look best that way too Like I love being all glam. I think when I feel the prettiest it's usually when I have less makeup on Isn't that or maybe not the prettiest but the most comfortable that's probably what it is Because I do feel beautiful with heavy glam, but I think I feel more comfortable when it's just like well, that's more you Yeah, i'm so excited. I can already tell i'm gonna love it You know i've seen all the work that you've done you know, we have some mutual friends and you've done their makeup and I'm always like I need an occasion to do and I actually reached out to lauren last year To see if she wanted to come on my channel and do this and you know schedules Was hard to kind of line them up until now This has been a long time coming and i'm honored to be here. Sometimes I like to take a wipe And just clean up that shadow and then that'll give you like a really good guide for your eyeliner as well Right just right from the corner of your eyes So do you do your makeup you do your eyes first, too? No, I do my makeup in like five minutes So i'll usually just kind of like if i'm doing a heavier shadow look. Uh-huh. I'll do that first I love drugstore makeup just as much as I love high end makeup. It has come a long way I feel like like the drugstore has got Really great formulas now In fact, we're filming a video after this on kind of like our top fives of four products we'd go by And at first I was like, okay Well, I definitely would need foundation But then I thought that I'd actually probably buy a drugstore Yeah foundation if I lost all my makeup and I had to replace everything I would probably do it. Yeah Yeah, this is the maybelline tattoo Gel liner and i've been using this also for years. Okay, so let's talk about that brown eyeliner not blackness I I like both like sometimes If I wanted a little bit more depth I would do black and then do like a brown shadow on top Just to kind of soften it, but I really i'm liking like the warmth and stuff we have going on around here So i'm i'm going to keep it in the brown. Yeah, I always wear brown and this is the 208 liner brush So you start at the very outer corner? I do and I kind of rest the brush along the lashes And try to get just as close to the lash line as possible So you try to keep the liner very thin and tight very tight. Why is that? I like the way that it looks Yeah, I mean if you're doing like a big liner look obviously you can do more Yeah, I find a thicker liner will kind of close my eye off a bit and I have you know, very I feel like the real estate on my eyes is Getting smaller and smaller these days. So I don't want to take it all up with an eyeliner, you know And I just I like to have liner no matter what if i'm doing a lash Because I think it makes the lash actually look more natural. It hides the band Okay, let's talk about your favorite concealers for mature skin What would they be if I had to pick your top three? Top three. Okay, I would say Hourglass, okay the vanish. Yes That's my all-time favorite. I use it on most good one. I do like kosas And I like their correctors a lot too. I do too. That's pretty much all I use right now. Is it? Yes, i'm trying to think of what else would work well with mature skin. What's yours? I would say The kosas is definitely one of them. Have you tried sarah creel? No, I really love her Yeah, so sarah creel is a makeup line that's available at sephora and it's exclusively like marketing towards women over 40 It's nice. It's very lightweight. It's like a serum concealer. It's Really really beautiful. What about women who are 38 when I say like they're mature and then I say 40 It doesn't feel like you know, what does mature mean really, you know, but I think you know I definitely have noticed that I would say for the last like six seven years My skin has changed so much and products that I used to love just I can't they just don't work for me like they used to I'm experiencing that as well, especially around my eyes my under eyes Yeah, because the skin there is just that's where you start to show texture from you know Fine lines and expression lines and also the skin there is a little thinner and I remember this being like a big challenge Was helping people understand that like makeup can cover Discoloration but makeup it's difficult to cover texture Right. It's like if you get a full coverage foundation because you have a lot of like you know rosacea or Or some type of discoloration you want to cover like that full coverage will definitely cover that but it might make the texture look worse Right 100. I actually don't know any products that are good for texture And I try to explain that to people too, you know, which is why we just go with in with a lighter hand Exactly. Yes. I think the best thing you can do is just have a lighter hand, right? I got someone asked me the question the other day They were like I love this foundation, but I noticed it settles in my crow's feet and I was like well Maybe see if you can avoid putting it there, you know, and or keeping it really really sheer you're just using like I always tell people like wherever you put your brush first is the place you're going to deposit the most product, right? so Do the areas like that? You have issues with it settling and do that last at the very end when almost all the makeup is off your brush Yeah, right Well, I think sometimes people put makeup in certain places because they think that they're supposed to put makeup in certain places But sometimes it's not benefiting you to do so, you know, right? You might actually not need right the darkness covered in that area underneath your eyes. Totally. Yes Also, i'm a lot slower now Than I was when I started 16 years ago So I would say it takes me I need a solid hour To do makeup. Yes I used to be able to crank them out, especially when I was doing so many weddings Yeah, you kind of have to right but i'm sure you're like makeup has just elevated so much too over the years Yeah, I care more, you know, I care about the outcome Yeah, and I think that that makes it so that I take my time. Yes I'm going to use the 420 And so do you always trim lashes pretty much always always yeah just a tiny little piece on the corner Yeah, even if like the lash fits I find that it's more comfortable if it's not like pushed all the way to the inner corner Of the eye. Yep, and you can usually just build with a little mascara in that inner corner If you feel there's a gap, yep, or fill it in with a little bit of like shadow or liner as well Any tips for lash application? Yes use tweezers I always put the tweezers in the middle of the lash and then try to place the lash in the middle of the eye And I also like to make sure that it gets nice and tacky before I put it on Yeah, so it doesn't slide around. Yep. Did you ever work at a makeup counter? I did not. No, okay. So you kind of self-taught. Yes and started working. That's amazing. I skipped right over I graduated college and realized that I Wanted to continue doing makeup. Yeah, so when I moved to austin and you moved from california to austin or yes I'm originally from illinois, but I was living in california As a nanny and so when I moved to austin I was like wait, I want to do this full time I'm in a new city. This is so fun start. Yeah, so I started Freelancing and working for a couple other bridal companies. Okay, that's amazing. How long have you been in austin? For 16 years. Oh, okay. Okay. Wow almost 17. Wow, you must have started then Kind of right after I I mean when did I stop doing weddings because back when I was doing weddings here I mean there were it was just like me and like a couple other people that I knew that were I was friends with you know, yeah now the The industry here is so different. I think I stopped doing weddings probably like Maybe 15 years ago or so was maybe the last time I did. Oh, yeah but I was doing weddings for a while I had a wedding makeup business here and a few makeup artists and We would do like, um, I feel like we overlapped at least maybe a little bit. Yeah I think our busiest month we did like 40 weddings that month. Gosh, so we were you know We were yeah, especially back then I felt like and I worked during the week I had a monday through friday job and that was like my weekend thing. Oh, wow. How did I do all that? I don't even know. Yeah, sometimes i'm not sure how we have the energy to do some of these things Because we love it. Yeah. Okay. So lashes are on lashes are on and now we're going to do some foundation So i'm going to mix a few Like I said, I rarely just do one foundation and stop. I don't know why same with my lip combos a lot of people ask me like what's your favorite lip combo and i'm like I use like five to get to where I want to be really do you do that on yourself too or just yeah Yeah, okay. How fun I probably have five lip products on I love that. So what foundations will be using today? Okay, i'm definitely going to use some of the yummy skin that I was talking about. These are actually the refills. Oh, okay, which Pro tip great. Yeah, the refills are cheaper than the product with like the the applicator Yes, and so if I were you I would go on sephora and I would search the refills. Okay, that's a great tip So you mix shades too? I do you'll use lighter in the center and So i'm gonna mix this with um the mary phillips I bought one and I need to try it a little bit more and I want to hear your thoughts when I wore it I felt like it was like radiant and dewy. I like something that's usually a little bit more Soft matte. Okay a little more setting or I felt like it didn't self-set I don't know I just felt like it was really dewy but I only wore it like two or three times and I should to be fair I had just gotten micro needling done like the week before so my skin was just I didn't really love the way any foundation looked on me. Yeah that week, you know Well, then i'm gonna mix in a third foundation, which I actually learned Yeah, okay from your channel. Okay, I do really from my channel nikki loves this. Yeah Okay, but she used it on you on your channel. Yes. I do love it This is the lawless forget the filter. Okay, this one's definitely a little bit more like full coverage and matte So I think the combination will be good and i'm gonna use The 101 brush and I always like to put it on the back of my hand so that I can really kind of like work It in. Yeah, I always tell people like don't worry about getting an exact match You can always mix in a darker shade a lighter shade something that's got more of a yellow undertone something That's got more of a pink undertone Like it's not a final decision when you start putting foundation on and also the way like your concealer can kind of brighten or lighten and bronzer Totally because that's something that i'm very proud of is my shade matching Abilities and people always ask me like how do you know what shades people are? Yeah, and part of it is just experience And working with these products for so long and then part of it is just Knowing that I can't mess it up, you know, right and you can fix it and you can fix it Yes, exactly. You take the foundation on the neck. I do. Yeah, definitely at least feathering it down So now i'm just using a barely damp beauty blender And then you're kind of precedent like press in and absorb any excess or yep. Yeah, your skin looks Flawless. Thank you. So does this combo of foundations you used like great for longevity and Yes, like this is other than the new flawless foundation, which I got maybe a month ago Yummy skin i've been using for years. And like I said, it mixes well with everything There's nothing i've used it with that. I'm like, oh wait, this doesn't work so I will always at least start with that and you know, i've been doing weddings for years and Clients for tv film red carpet and they need it to last you need it to last Yeah, i'm curious to see what concealer we're going to use Yes, i'm going to do the contour And the blush first and then and then concealer. Okay. Oh good That's not that's kind of out of the order I do but I like learning like different and obviously there's a reason you do it That way. Yeah, I put a lot of blush on and then I kind of I just like the way that blends better doing blush before Concealer i'm going to be using the danessa myricks contour balm. This is a good one I like that one. This is in the shade medium two and i'm going to use the brush 109 yes, I love this brush is so good for contour. It fits like perfectly right into the cheekbones. I like to start Out on the sides and high. Okay, so I can feel it right on my bone. Yep Yeah, and I will put the most product kind of concentrated right here And then kind of feather out the edges and I don't like to bring it too far forward But just enough to kind of cut the cheekbones bronzer and blush placement is Kind of and I hate to call it a mistake because at the end of the day people should do their makeup how they feel best in and pretty but I will say I Like my makeup when I have it done and almost always they place the bronzer and blush a little higher than I typically do And you know, it's because when I was younger, I always placed it there But as I get older like it's makes such a difference having it placed higher It really does lift the face and lift the cheeks. I'm just using that same beauty blender I'm, just really lightly tapping to soften that up pretty i'm just a little on the jawline, too This is one of my favorites like my all-time favorites Say do blush in the shade rosy. It just blends out. So seamlessly. It's pretty. Yeah, it lasts I love it. I find they're easier too than the rare beauty ones. The rare beauty ones are really pigmented I can't use the rare beauty ones for that reason or that. Yeah for that reason I just feel like I have a harder time like this. I can just slap it on and it blends out so seamlessly Um, i'm using the 106 brush for this. I like to really kind of go in with the blush It looks a little alarming at first But once it's all blended and the powders are on top It looks so flawless. I'm placing a little bit under the eyes all the way up on the temples The top of the brow. So do you do brows kind of last? Is that like I do I like to do all my powder products and then brows You definitely have a formula of the way you like to do makeup in order. I do. Yeah I mean, I don't think that there's any like correct way. Mm-hmm like right or wrongs. Yeah It's pretty I think whatever feels best for you. Okay, i'm gonna go in with concealer I'm gonna use the hourglass in shade 3.8. This one's really like neutral and I like it. So look up for me. I like to focus mostly on these inner corners You know, i'll do just just a dab on the outer corner. Yeah, that's what I do and then bring them together Sometimes if you've got like a heavy shadow here And the creases i'll bring it down just a little bit Because like we said we like to try to bring like highlight the center of the face highlight the center of the face Exactly bringing the creases forward and i'm using the the concealer brush for this as well And so you're just kind of tapping tapping tapping. Yes I like to kind of just press it into the skin I find that I take my time with concealer like it usually takes me longer than you'd think because I just Want to really make sure I press it into the skin absorb any excess that doesn't land in any creases or fine lines Yes I try to work kind of quickly too. That way it doesn't sit and settle. Do you usually set your concealer with powder? I do Yeah, what are your thoughts on that I feel like you kind of have to yeah, I do too Otherwise it tends to crease. Yes I know people are kind of afraid of powder under the eyes, especially on drier skin or mature skin But I find if you find the right powder and you use just the right amount That's all you just need a little and you do use a little on the chin or just kind of what's left on the brush Just what's left over? Yeah, sometimes i'll do it kind of like right here in the middle of the brows Perfect. Oh, yes. Look at that Oh so good looking so pretty Okay, and then i'm gonna use a powder puff again and that kosas powder when you have that your client look up You want to make sure that you? Press out any excess Creasing before you put any powder so you don't seal that crease in and i'm using this light shade and it's it's pretty brightening If you don't want it to be this bright then just use a darker shade of the powder i'm going to use That same puff and then this is the darker shade in the kosas This one's pillowy and i'm going to kind of like tap it onto my hand I don't want too much powder for this, but I do want to set the face this foundation. It's a very glowy foundation which one's the glowy one is it the mph or the The yummy skin the yummy skin. It's glowy Yeah, but when you put powder on top of it, it can go matte and I do tend to set like the entire face Uh-huh. This is the part that I feel like makes it look like a filter And so really just like pressing that powder in. Yep, so you don't disrupt the products underneath Yes, definitely and do you set on top of the cream and liquid blush and everything or just around it? Yeah, okay I mean I try to use like just a little product but but you see like it just looks so like it just kind of airbrush Yeah, it looks like um velvet. Yeah i'm, just using a brush with nothing on it again just to kind of Sweep under the eyes and make sure that that's all blended. It looks so good. I'm gonna do One quick pass of a setting spray. Okay Just let that powder kind of soak in You love that setting spray that was the charlotte tilbury airbrush I also layer setting sprays You do. Yeah. Yes. I have the matte one. I haven't both but I love the matte. Oh nice I don't think i've used the matte one. So that one's the first one you go in with Yeah, I usually will use like a wet one, you know something that's gonna melt the powder and push the powder in Make it look a little bit more natural and then at the end I hate to admit how much I love the one size setting spray. Oh, yeah that I mean That's just so like waterproof bulletproof. Like yeah oilproof i'm gonna go in with some bronzer and for bronzer I use the mac mineralized skin finish and deep darkest. Okay. Yeah, so that's pretty. Yeah Those are beautiful powder. It's pretty warm, but I love this powder. I like to kind of just put that right on top of the blush contour A little bit here at the temples tip of the nose just to warm it up a little bit She's got a white shirt, so I don't want to go too far down But normally I would bring this down down as far as possible to make sure that the neck is All blended pretty the skin looks incredible gorge Now i'm gonna go in with some more blush Um, and i'm gonna use the 112 that's my favorite blush brush I love this and I know it's small but I like that's what I love about it on in like a concentrated kind of way Okay for blush i'm gonna use say the super suede blush in the shade mia, I love these they're so beautiful Look at that color. That's so such a classic blush color and I just love how like Like layerable it is and how just how buildable it is You can get something really soft and sheer or build it up. We've got two say blush products going so far I also love the sheen that it gives just gives us really pretty highlights. It's not too heavy Blush is the first thing to disappear Mm-hmm in your makeup. So if you want to over blush, I highly encourage it. Perfect. So pretty. I love it I haven't been using as much highlighter as I used to but I do like this dibs pop star blush It has a little bit of a sheen to it as well So i'll just do that kind of bright on the very tops of the cheekbones. It's like two colors, huh? Yeah, I could do a blush if you can see it's like no, that's pretty. Yeah, that's very pretty It's got like a a bright poppy like baby pink and then more of like a coral But I usually kind of just swell them together So, sorry, no, that's okay. I made the mistake of breathing in. Uh-huh Locks everything in yes And then sometimes I I don't like when this part of the face right here is shiny Like I feel like it kind of calls too much attention. So what i'll do is i'll go back in with like a mattifying powder i'll use the The huda cherry blossom. Mm-hmm And just kind of hit those parts of the face Do this a lot of camera work. Mm-hmm. Oh, that's pretty it just blurred everything too blurs it. Mm-hmm Every time I get my makeup done i'm like why I should do this every day There's just such a difference between an application like this And just kind of like a quick every day, you know, it's just like the time all the attention to detail that goes into it Well, you are a busy lady and I don't think you have time. I know for this every day Okay, let's do some brows So I like to start with a brow gel I'm going to use the nyx brow glue and the shade medium. I love it People will love that. It's nyx too. I love I love nyx. I'm using nyx brow pencil, too. Yeah Yeah, they make great brow products. It's my favorite. I don't know I just i've been using them now for a long time. And so you did the gel first I do the gel first Yeah I like to kind of set where the brows are going to be and then fill in with the pencil Sometimes I feel like when you do the pencil first and then the brow it kind of takes away The pencil work that you've done It makes sense I like to kind of brush on the opposite way too to get them evenly coated Does this gel have any like kind of like volume building qualities to it? Is it kind of more just like hold I don't know that it does it's got really good hold And it's very slightly tinted which I like because sometimes brow gels tend to go Like white or you know, like they'll be a little crusty. Yeah, and this one does not i'm going to use the nyx brow pencil In the shade ash brown. It's one that I use We use this one. I like how small It is So you can do like hair like strokes. I always start with the inner corner I like to kind of build the shape and then work my way out to the outer corner and to use these two same products on everyone or do you kind of evaluate like Brows can be so different right like if I had Like really thick brows, you might would you do the same products or would you change it up? I might use something that's more of like a brow freeze with somebody with really thick brows or like unruly Brows, I mean this one works really well for most people, but I don't know that it would be strong enough. Uh-huh For someone with like thick coarse brows. Yeah, if somebody doesn't have any brows at all Sometimes i'll use like a brow pen And just kind of like flick hairs. Yeah, everyone's gonna use a powder Overall, I use these two products on most people in different shades When I was doing makeup at mac, you know 20 years ago or more it was always powder We all used an angle brush with a powder Yeah before the brow market was really a market, you know, and they didn't have all these products for brows before the 2016. Yeah Really before anastasia anastasia beverly hills was the one that kind of put brows, you know made a made a category for it Look how the brows make everything come together. Mm-hmm. It's really a frame for your your eyes and your face I think we're kind of going away from like a super brushed up brow there for a while Everybody wanted like laminate brows. Yes, and I still love them. I think they're really pretty I just think that like I haven't been asked to do as many as I used to Do you like to shape the brows just a little bit more? Yeah, so I I use the nars Um, it's the long one the soft mac concealer. It's a good one. And this is the a505 It's just a flat brush Just gonna kind of put this at the high points underneath the brow This kind of just lifts the brow lifts the eye just like the tiniest bit, but I feel like it makes a huge difference Yeah, I think so your eyes look bigger and kind of cleans up the brows, too Under the eyes i'm just going to use back to the patrick ta shadows I'm, just going to use a little bit of a brown. I don't like to do a ton under the eyes I know me too. Just a little just a little bit Especially when you're doing like a heavier eye shadow look I feel like it kind of balances out the top and the bottom totally Tiny bit of mascara. Do you like to wear mascara on the bottom? Yes, but just a tiny bit. Yep Yep, you have beautiful bottom lashes. Oh, thank you. Do you have lashes on right now? I do. Yeah, I have clusters underneath I do like to put mascara on even the false lashes. Yeah, I do too to blend in the natural lashes in and Add a little extra. Okay for the lip i'm going to use the charlotte tilbury double-ended liner This is in the shade Medium I like this one a lot specifically because this is like a really neutral shade and then there's kind of like a brown On the other side. So if you wanted to kind of sculpt The outer corners you can add some depth the darker side. I like to kind of just very slightly overline the top lip Nothing too dramatic But mostly right here in the high point in the center and use that darker shade just a little bit on the outer corners Okay. Now i'm going to use the makeup by mario in the shade bronx, baby. Oh, I don't have this one. I love this I mean obviously Very well used this one's like a it's just like a classic like mommy pink like nude undertones It's pretty these are also super comfortable very pigmented and creamy too. Yes and pressing together That's pretty. This is the maybelline lifter gloss in the shade gummy bear. I love these are so good They're so good. They remind me a lot of the fenty. They do they do. Yeah We love a dupe some of them have shimmer in it, but this one does not So pretty so much shine and those are pretty lightweight You don't feel heavy or sticky. Okay. So last thing i'm going to do Is i'm going to take this 204 brush and then if you've got any like little creases I like to blend it out on a brush with nothing on it. I love that like this helps Keep the creases at bay and it's an everyone problem. Everyone's always like oh my creases Like it's it's an everyone problem. Yeah, this is a little trick i'm going to start doing i've never thought to do this She's gorgeous, I love it. Oh, I love it. I love the lip too. It's so beautiful. Oh, yay good I love that on you, too. I love it Oh my gosh. Well, I love the way my makeup looks I feel like this is like the perfect glam for me I still feel like myself, but I feel like my best self. This is very much what I do Like a natural glam an elevated glam something that you can wear like out something that's gonna last You could also wear it for your wedding like I don't feel like this is too much at all But I feel like I could definitely throw on a gown and be ready to go to like an evening event, you know It's still going but I still feel yes Like sometimes when my glam is this like really really glam during the day I feel a little self-conscious going to the grocery store going to this but I totally don't feel that way when this makeup You look so beautiful.
