Hi sisters James Charles here and welcome back to my youtube channel in case you notice everything you might look a little bit different
Right now. I slightly changed my setup and my lighting a little bit
I made the lights a lot less bright and added a lot more diffusion
So now I'll hopefully be able to open my eyes and not blink and close them every 3 seconds come on camera
I've got so many comments about it
I know it's annoying you guys have no idea how much frickin light was surrounding me in my previous videos
So hopefully you guys like this whole lot better, but let me know a sister is working on it
Anyways for today's that I have something very very fun planned that I'm actually so excited to try out. I've been seeing so many youtubers
Lately doing videos testing out, mixing their different products. I saw Sophia Nygaard testing out mixing her foundation first
And then she tested out mixing her liquid lipsticks to get a funky color so for today's video
I'm trying something a little bit different
And I'm gonna mix together all of my setting powders if you guys been a longtime sister
you know that setting powder is a little bit of a
Touchy subject for me when I first started doing my makeup
I use the Coty airspun powder religiously
And we all know how that turned out so this one is slowly made its way out of my routine now
I use the Laura Mercier translucent setting powder in almost every single video
But I've tried out so many different powders in between. Some of them are meant to mattify, some of them are meant to brighten, some of
Them prevent creases, but overall the whole purpose of them is that they set the face in place.
Today I'm gonna be mixing together all my setting powders
They have in my collection both my favorites
And the ones that have given me a little bit of trouble in the past in this empty setting powder container
We're gonna mix them all together and then we're gonna
Set my face in place, that actually kind of hurt
I'm really not sure how this is gonna turn out just on my first thoughts
I am assuming that it's probably gonna be ridiculously dry like Sahara Desert level
I do have my setting spray just in case everything gets a little bit too serious
Or my face is like you know cracking off because won't be that big of a surprise
But who knows I also feel like I probably I'm gonna get pretty bad a flashback today
Hopefully Mary will not come back to play I do have to wear this makeup to an event later on tonight
But I'll be taking you guys with me to show the full thing. I'll also be taking a lot of photos
So hopefully none of them turn out too bad
Anyways all being said if you'd like to see all my setting powders being mixed together put them to the test
Well it work will it fail will flash like Mary make an iconic appearance keep on watching
So before I actually go into my foundation today
My first step is gonna be to go into the touch of water cream which is my all-time?
favorite moisturizer as I was just talking about obviously the whole point of a setting powder is to dry foundation down and set everything in place.
And I definitely do not want to be the Sahara Desert today
My skin is just starting to clear up a little bit, so I'm trying to protect it therefore
I need to be really really hydrated before I
Suck all the moisture out for foundations today
I'm gonna grab my all-time favorite my Make Up For Ever Ultra HD stick, and this is in the shade of Y
335 I am using a stick shade that's slightly darker than my normal shade for them
I do have a bad feeling this is gonna
Give me a really bad a flashback today, so I'm trying to combat that as much as possible
Then I'm just gonna add a few drops of the Giorgio Armani luminous stuff Foundation and use this to kind of blend that foundation out
This is a very very dewy foundation and once again. We're trying to add the most amount of moisture possible
Then just a bright and quickly I'm gonna use my shape tape concealer in the shade light stand as usual
So now that we have my foundation and concealer all in place let's go ahead and mix all these setting powders together
I have an empty tub right here that is ready for this concoction the first part
I want to add is my all-time favorite which is my Laura Mercier
I have some on the top of the jar right here, so I'm just going to
Pour that in and then I'm just gonna take a little bit of a tap
Just make sure we have enough in there
Next I'm going to add the Too Faced peach perfect setting powder whoo that is a mouthful this one smells
Literally so good and actually smells like real peaches. I love this one as well
The only thing is this it's a little bit orange
But that may help with combating like dark circles especially under the eyes and in the beard area
So this could be a good addition. Just gonna top a little bit of that powder in there
Next one to add a little bit of the beauty bakery flower setting powder
I've actually never tried this one out, but I've heard amazing amazing things about it. So hopefully it'll be just as good for me
Next comes the powders that I either don't like as much, don't sit well on my skin,
Or gave me flashback. I'm first gonna pour in a little bit of the RCMA No color powder
I did not like this one as much it clung to my skin pretty bad
Oh, my god, and also did way too much brightening so
Who next will be the tart smooth operator Amazonian clay finishing powder?
Next is gonna be one of my all-time least favorite setting powders, which is the Make Up For Ever Ultra HD setting powder listen...
I love makeup forever. They are an amazing team. They have a lot of amazing products
I use their foundation in every single look, but this proto is just really not a good one at all
I know it does give it very very bad flashbacks, so I'm probably gonna have to stay away from the snapchat tonight
I'm just gonna pour a little of this in here
And last, but certainly not least we all know this one *coughs* hmmm. Yes, we do
That's enough so that is all seven of our setting powders mixed together today
I am very very scared for this, but I'm gonna put the cap back on and we're going to
Shake it up! Shake shake shake. Oh
Shake shake shake
Shake your powder
Shake your powder
I need to stop so looking at the powder in the jar it definitely looks like a normal setting powder although
It does look a little bit chunky
I'm really not sure if that's because I just shook it to mix it together
Or if it's because the foreign laws are the powder aren't mixing together
Hopefully it's not option number two, but I guess we're gonna find out in a short second
Also, the color looks pretty normal as well
But I will say it does look a little bit more orange than normal the Cody are some powder and that two-faced peach powder are
both slightly orange a peachy tone
And hopefully that doesn't affect my color shade they can be look like an oompa loompa
Then I'm just gonna go right into my Beauty sponge dip right into this powder and set my face
That's really matte whoa
Then of course you guys might like to pack it on the nose to li-
*dies*
Need water oh
My god as I think I'd like to really really pack it on the nose
That's what's the one thing on my face that gets oily the fastest this feels like a normal setting powder to apply
But I'm not kidding when I say that I can literally like taste the peach in my mouth
I don't know if they put too much of the peach powder in, or if it's just actually that strong
But regardless I do like that setting powder
So hopefully it's working in my favor things are definitely getting a little peachy up here in the sister studio
So looking close up with my skin in the mirror. I look very very matte. There's like not a single trace of oh oh
My god. Okay, not only do I look matte?
But I also feel matte - holy crap
Looking closer with my nose wherever. There is a two spots right here with the foundation
There's a little bit worn off there were two little specks of setting powder that wouldn't go away, and I'm a assuming
That's from the RCMA powder
because I remember that happening a lot when I use this powder and like stuck to my foundation and when I rubbed
It away now
I'm left with a little bit of discoloration right here
So hopefully I'll be able to fix that when it comes to the nose contouring later on
But I knew I didn't like this powder before we make my face
I'm just gonna go in and I'm going to contour and bronze my face normally using my Kat Von D
Shade and light palette and my benefit hoola bronzer as always once
We're onto is it of course we have to bake our face
So I'm gonna get my blending sponge once again for morphe and dip into our custom powder
Concoction right up in here and we're going to turn on the oven at 350 degrees and bake it up
The point of baking is not only to prevent creases
But it's also to brighten and add a definition to makeup so with the addition of the makeup forever setting powder
Which heavily has a lot of flash like and a lot of lightness and also the RCM a color powder
Which is white?
Hopefully this will do a really really great job with that and not make me look disgusting
While we are baking at 350 degrees in the oven I'm gonna go ahead and quickly do my eyebrows off camera
Just to save some time. Alright so my eyebrows are all set in place it has been about
20 minutes now so
Let's go ahead and wipe off the bake and see how this powder actually held up
*shook*
so far, so good. Everything is still really really Merritt and set in place
And it does look a little bit brighter if you see like underneath this contour
But I feel like the true test is definitely the nose contour, so let's wipe this off as well obvious
I mean to me it looks like my normal nose contour. I mean I did tell you guys
I lost my nose contouring brush so things in that department in general have been a little bit wonky
But over life like it looks really really good
It didn't cling on to my skin at all which is the thing that I was very very worried about
Everything looks really nice bright side plate so so far. I actually have no complaints
I'm gonna get my face a light misting of the Scandinavian makeup finishing spray
Just to make all the powders kind of melt together because lord knows we have a lot of it on right now
I'm gonna go ahead and do the eyes and the rest my face off camera.
And then I'll be right back with the finished look then we'll put the setting powder concoction to the true test and see
Are seven powders mixed together sister approved? We'll have to find out. Alright guys in only a few hours later
This is the finished look I came up with today
I came up with this purpley half-cooked crease and I added a winged liner as well
I haven't done purple or a wing in such a long time and honestly
I just felt like I was missing something in my life
I needed that purple smokiness that cut winged liner
And I am in love with on this look turned out just in case you're wondering
I catered it using the brand new morphe 15 and palette
This is Dean bytes that our palette from the holiday collection, and it is so so stunning friendly reminder
You can use code change or 10% off all morphe products in the holiday collection
I would definitely recommend this so look at my face in the mirror
I am very very matte there was no question about that literally dewy skin never heard of her
I have literally no shine anywhere on my face except for obviously the place I put highlighter
But I feel like even my highlighter today is not shining as bright as normal because we layer it on so much powder
Beforehand I don't think my face feels
Really really secure like I said earlier. It even feels matte like it's super super dry so honestly
I feel like this may last for a very very long time
but I have
Literally no idea we're gonna put that to test so I'm gonna go get change this outfit is a little bit dusty if I do
Say so myself
I'm gonna put on a hat and jacket because I have a birthday dinner tonight over in Malibu to celebrate sister Patrick stars birthday
I love him so much, and we're gonna be wearing this makeup all night will it flash oh
Oh my god before I leave let me take a flash test right now before we actually leave the studio. That's your test
It didn't flashback not even gonna lie I'm a little bit shocked right now
I a hundred and fifty percent thought we were gonna. Have a flash like Mary situation tonight
I was really really ready to take a whole lot of snapshots
How's the internet go crazy once again only to use it for video promo for this video
But this is not a bad thing
That being said even though it's not flashing back now and may flashbacks later on as the powder wears down
And we make it creases so like I just think before I got sidetracked
I'm gonna go quickly get dressed with the event tonight, and I'm gonna head out
and I'll make sure to keep you guys posted on throughout the night with lots of updates with my sisters and
Friends will this mixture of the seven most popular setting powders stay looking amazing like it does right now
Or will it get crazy and Crocky and gross and cakey you'll have to find out okay
Sisters we're here at Nobu. I have sisters Karen and crispy and Sydney. I'm gonna ask all of you individually
What do you think about my skin right now?
Smashed skin, let's put together a little more matte than usual very matte full coverage personally, I love
Okay
Powdery us here with sister Yoli glow the one who lays my skin all the time Yoli
What do you think what my skin right now like what does it look like?
I approve
So, this is a powder that emphasizes texture you guys in issuing an amazing job
Because it's really emphasizing all of it. Oh, and you don't set your makeup how bad it'll look by the end of the night
Guys I'm with the woman of the hour sister sorry
I have a question for you. Okay. What do you think about my skin right now? She's full cover. She's bad
I
Like it does it look good. Yeah, but it's good
I mixed together every single setting powder that I own and use that to set my face today. Not my powder bitch
Oh, no. I need you to read it was yeah foxes December 4th even ah master
wobble darling
Thank you. Thank you babe. Hello sisters and back home from the birthday event that was literally so much fun
I have reading on right now because it was literally so cold outside
I'm actually so happy that it's finally getting cold in LA
I thought I was gonna be summer all year round, but winter time is coming and it's currently
11:47 p.m.. Meaning I've had this makeup on for just over seven hours. Now, which is crazy because
Guys this looks so good I did not touch up once tonight
This is the first time since I started wearing makeup and going to events
That I did not bring a beauty blender with me to even like do some touch-ups or to powder my face and this still looks
So bomb I can't frickin believe how mad it looks to like
There's literally no oil at all like not even on my nose, and you guys know
So sir James his nose is usually a problem place
Everybody that I asked out my skin tonight said that it looked really really smooth really really good really really full-coverage and really really mapped
I mean obviously we did mixed together 7 powders to set my face today
I
hate to say it because I honestly really thought this is gonna be a complete joke but as
You saw not a single one had flashback my skin looks smooth. It still looks smooth
It's still dry it's still not guys. I think I just found my new favorite makeup trick
This is obviously the first time that I've ever mixed setting powders, but after trying this trick out
I honestly do think I'm gonna make it a custom concoction to use for everyday use I'll probably end up mixing my Laura Mercier
My Too Faced peach perfect, and then a little bit of the Cody err some powder because these are my all-time favorites
I don't know about the RC ma or the makeup for everyone because these do get pretty bad flash like and this was a little
bit clingy and I think that I'm gonna have to test out the Beauty bakery one a little bit more as well because obviously I've
Never actually used this on its own
So I definitely want to see how it actually wears before I put it into the baked concoction
But using a victus setting powders
I think is a really really cool thing that I can't believe it actually never thought of
Obviously the whole point of mixing them is like to get the best of all worlds of all the different setting powders
So I really really like this check and definitely recommend to you guys if you guys have a bunch of setting powders mix them together
Try out your face and definitely. Let me know how they wear throughout the day did they crack do they look Matt
I want to hear the team because I am so shocked at the results of this and I definitely want to keep doing this
