- Hey friends, it's Courtney.
Welcome back to my channel, "Phyrra,"
where I talk about cruelty-free
beauty, Gothic fashion,
mental health, and lifestyle.
So for today's video,
I just want to do a quick
little complexion tutorial
featuring the new Melt
Cosmetics Raw Honey Blush.
I'm going to start by using
Milk Makeup's Hydro Grip Primer.
I love this primer for my dry
sensitive skin with rosacea.
(upbeat music)
So after I apply that primer,
I let it set for 60
seconds to give it a chance
to really sink into my skin
and create the perfect canvas
for applying foundation.
And I'm going to apply
my favorite foundation,
which is the Milk Makeup
Flex Foundation Stick
in the shade Porcelain.
I use the Urban Decay
optical blurring brush
and I run my brush across
the top of the stick.
And then, just start
buffing this into my skin.
To do around the eyes, I like
to switch to a smaller brush,
so I'm going to use the CLOVE
+ HALLOW Precision Blender,
and I do find this very easy
to use to get around my eyes.
(upbeat music)
And I wanna stop for a minute.
I only applied foundation
to half of my face
because I wanted you
to see the difference,
which is very obvious to me,
maybe it's not so obvious to you,
but this side I don't have foundation on
and I feel like you can
really see the redness
that my entire face has
compared to my neck and chest.
But when I put this foundation on,
I feel like it makes it sort
of blend seamlessly together.
That is what I'm looking
for in a foundation.
I want my foundation to
blend my face with my neck
and my chest and
everything else seamlessly.
I love foundation sticks.
I especially love this foundation stick.
This is my favorite foundation right now
and is my favorite foundation stick
because I like how easy it is to control
the amount of coverage that I have.
I don't have to put on full coverage,
but I can still get the coverage I need
to hide my redness from rosacea,
my imperfections, my skin insecurities,
and still look good without feeling like
I have a ton of makeup on.
Here's the different
way that I do my brows.
I don't really know that it's innovative
or anything like that,
but I brush my brows straight
up to try to make them look
as full as possible.
And then I take my brow gel,
which is the Elizabeth
Mott Queen of the Fill
black brow gel and
brushing up with this too.
This is tinted so I
personally like it best
if I then go back with my
spoolie and blend upwards.
(upbeat music)
My brows are not really full.
They're very sparse.
They've always been sparse.
I've never over-plucked
them or anything like that.
They're just naturally
extra thin. So cool.
So what I find for myself these days is
that I want them to look as
full as they can possibly look.
So, brushing them upwards helps with that.
And then I will go back in
a second with a brow pen
and help to fill them in, but
I want to get this situated.
And I have the new Anastasia
Brow Pen in Granite
that I recently purchased
that I want to try,
If the top will come off.
(upbeat music)
Then just go back with
my little spoolie thing,
and blend a little more.
(upbeat music)
And if I'm happy with my brows,
I'll go back and use a little bit
of the whatever foundation's
left on this brush
to shape around them.
I find I prefer to do my brows
before my makeup these days,
but for whatever reason, today I forgot.
So that's the truth of it.
So for my cheeks,
I'm going to use Melt
Cosmetics, Raw Honey.
This is a blush duo.
It's basically to me a
blush highlighting duo.
And I'm going to take my Real Techniques
Rebel Edge Medium Brush, and
run my brush across like this.
So I'm picking up the top and bottom color
on the same brush.
(upbeat music)
I'm switching to the Sigma FO3 brush
and using just the light side,
which is actually called Honey.
And then I'm going to
go back with this brush,
which is just the larger
version of that brush
and start blending.
(upbeat music)
I actually think Raw
Honey is very pretty on me
and I kind of took a risk on it
because I wasn't sure if I
was gonna like how it looked
cause I normally feel like
colors like this are always
either too dark or too
metallic or something.
I think I am going to add
just a little bit more
of a highlight though and to do that,
I'm going to use Urban Decay's Ozone.
(upbeat music)
Yeah, just adds just a
little bit more sheen.
I actually ordered Bittersweet
and was sent Ozone by mistake
so I figured I would try
it, see if I can use it.
I'm going to outline my
lips and fill them in
with the Melt Cosmetics Nudist pencil.
It's my favorite nude lip pencil.
(upbeat music)
And I'm going to put on
Lime Crime Plushies Lipstick
in Ambrosia, which I think was supposed
to be like a golden mauve.
(upbeat music)
So here's my finished look.
I hope you enjoyed my complexion tutorial
featuring the new Melt
Cosmetics Raw Honey cheek duo.
