- What's up everyone?
This week, it's all about traditions
here on the Holidays with Kin,
so today, I'm gonna show you
my traditional makeup
look for the holidays.
I love getting sparkly with it and fun,
so you're gonna love this one.
If you wanna see what everyone
else's traditions are,
make sure that you hit the playlist
in the description below.
So you ready for my look?
Let's do this.
(upbeat music)
I love the fact that for the holidays,
there's always a fun party
going on that you can attend.
And you guys know that I love glamming up.
I love taking my time,
putting on Christmas music
while I'm getting ready, and
today's look is going to be
a glitter eye with a nude lip,
so it's like a smokey
glitter eye with a nude lip.
I'm kinda gonna look like
a Christmas ornament.
Prepare yourselves.
So we're gonna start out
again with a beauty blender.
Guys, I got new colored beauty blenders.
I'm obsessed with the black ones,
'cause they never look dirty.
And you know I have OCD,
so this makes me feel so much better.
I started out by actually wetting it a bit
so that it's moist and so that
my concealer and foundation
can go on better.
What I'm using today as my
foundation is actually number 11.
It's the KKW concealer, but
I use it as a foundation.
I'm just gonna kinda go over my cheeks
and get rid of the redness there.
Okay, then you're just gonna
blend that in like this.
All over.
So now that my foundation's done,
we're gonna go in with some concealer,
which you guys know I love
Infallible Pro Glow concealer by L'Oreal.
I'm gonna go under just like that.
(upbeat music)
Gonna go up there.
(upbeat music)
And again, we're gonna blend.
You know, I just love
to blend my life away.
Now imagine if you were doing this
and listening to Christmas music.
Like, it doesn't get any better than this.
Like, jam, you could have a glass of wine.
In my case, some (foreign
word), some egg nog.
Whatever you're in to,
and enjoy yourself.
I actually love the
process of getting ready,
especially when you're
going to like a great party,
or great holiday party
or just being at home with your family
but you're gonna take
some bomb pictures for IG.
I love it.
My husband actually likes
watching me get ready.
Okay.
Moving right along, we're
now going to contour
with my favorite contour stick,
which is by Anastasia and
it's in the color cocoa.
So you know I always start with
my forehead just like that.
My cheeks.
(upbeat music)
And might even do my jawline.
And I'm gonna come down
my nose just like this.
(upbeat music)
Scary right?
I know, so tribal.
So I'm just gonna blend like this.
(upbeat music)
Blend that right into my forehead like so.
This is how you fake a tan
in the middle of the winter.
(upbeat music)
And this is perfect to
do with a turtle neck
because it doesn't even matter
if it doesn't match my neck.
So again, the key is really to just blend
as much as you can.
You don't wanna completely
blend it all away either.
That's a major fail, like people go
and put on concealer and foundation,
and then they just blend it off.
Don't blend it off, blend it in.
There's a difference.
Boom.
Okay, we are gonna set this.
We are setting this with
Ben Nye luxury powder
and this in the color banana.
Look up, set my under eyes.
I actually like to let
this bake really well
because we're using a smokey eye color,
and I don't want it to bleed down.
And I think it's really important
to do the sides of my nose
'cause that's where I get the greasiest.
So I'm just setting it in like that,
and then I'm going to use
this side of the brush,
which is a little softer to
kind of just set my eyebrows
because I find that when I use moisturizer
and there's too much moisture on my brows,
my eyebrow stick doesn't stick on.
Does that make sense?
Today I am using Precisely
My Brow Pencil by Benefit,
and it is in the color, oh,
it's in shade number four.
I'm going a little stronger today,
which is why I'm using
the Benefit brow pencil,
which is a little bit more pigmented,
but my favorite brow pencil
of all time is by Anastasia,
and it's Brow Wiz and it depends
on the look I'm going for.
If I want a really soft
look, my favorite is caramel,
and if I'm going for a stronger look,
I use the color chocolate.
You definitely want to brush it out
so that it doesn't look too harsh.
(upbeat music)
Especially in the front,
you always wanna make sure
your front is softer than the back.
It should never look
like your eyebrow starts
with just like a block.
Think of like the front of your eyebrows
like the baby hair of your brows.
It needs a gradual progression.
I love the saying that your
eyebrows are not twins,
they're just sisters,
but they're not twins.
My two eyebrows are completely different,
and even when I try to make them match,
they're never gonna be exactly the same,
and I'm okay with that.
It is well with my soul.
Okay, brows on.
Now, I'm going to actually
highlight my brows
so that they have a really clean look.
I'll show you what that means.
I use Anastasia's Highlighting Duo Pencil,
Illuminator Crayon Duo in
Matte Camille and Sand Shimmer.
But I'm gonna use the Matte Camille.
This is like my real make up people.
This side is gone, so we're
going with the matte side.
Okay, and I'm just gonna go
right under my brow like so.
Just like that, and then I'm
gonna blend this in like this.
Just blend it in a little bit,
but it really gives a
clean look to your brows.
Makes them almost look like you
just got them freshly waxed.
Moving right along.
Now, we're gonna actually
work on our eyeshadow.
I am actually going to lay down,
I'm gonna use this Makeup by
Forever Professional Paris kit,
and I'm going to take a flat brush,
flat eyeshadow brush like this,
and I'm going to use this nude color here
and I'm just gonna cover
my entire eyelid with that.
(upbeat music)
Like so.
Once that's done, I'm now gonna
actually contour my eyelids
into my nose and my
cheekbones, hold please.
My favorite contour kit is KKW Beauty,
clearly I like really use this.
I broke this one during travel.
RIP.
Okay, so I am going to use this
brush with the darkest one,
and I am going to do my forehead,
I'm gonna go into my cheekbones,
chin,
neck,
and now I'm gonna use that same color
with a bigger, fluffier eyeshadow brush
and I'm gonna go from
the corner of my eye,
from the outer corner of my eye,
and I'm gonna drag that up
to the tip of where my eyebrow starts,
and I'm gonna drap that down my nose.
So that starts here in the corner,
with the same color, going
to the corner of my nose,
coming down.
Okay, now it's gonna get fun.
This is a Chanel kit
and this Les Four Ombres
is the name of the pallette,
and it looks like this.
Voila.
And we are using the darkest
deep metallic color over here.
And I'm going to use that
to pat that on my eye just
like that, that's really dark.
Love it.
(upbeat music)
A lot of people wonder why
you put so much powder under your eyes,
and it's actually preventative
for when you're doing a smokey eye,
and the powder falls down,
when I wipe this away,
so will the dark powder,
and it didn't like penetrate.
I love a dramatic smokey
eye for the holidays.
I think especially for like, in my case,
I think for New Years, like it
just looks so regal and rich
in like sexy, smoldering moments.
The key is, you're doing
a smokey eye people,
you can't do a bold lip.
You gotta pick one or the other.
That's the key.
This smaller brush is what I'm gonna use
to go under my eyes with
the exact same color.
And we're just gonna swipe
it under the line of my...
Like this.
(upbeat music)
And I actually create almost
like a wing at the end.
Do you see that?
I almost look like a little kitty cat.
Call me kitty cat.
And now, we're gonna do wing liner.
So I am using L'Oreal Carbon
Black (foreign language)
oh, just, I was trying
to make it French people.
You know I try to make everything French.
This is just Linear Intense.
There it is. (laughs)
I'm all (foreign language),
oh, it's just Intense.
Carbon Black.
And then again, you don't
have to be perfect with this,
because your gonna put a big lash on top,
and you're not even gonna
really see if the liner
was precise or not.
(upbeat music)
I actually just use liner most of the time
to not make my lash look so fake,
even though these lashes
I'm putting on today,
there's no way that naturally
could've grown out of my eye.
(upbeat music)
I said we were going dramatic.
That was pretty perfect.
I'm gonna give myself some props.
And I did that quickly.
So, you have options
with the Stila Glitters.
They come in, this is what they look like.
How cute, love them.
And they come in three different colors.
They have Kitten Karma,
which is more of a rose gold,
then you've got Diamond Dust,
which is literally like a silver,
but almost rainbow glitter situation.
And then you've got Gold Goddess,
which is just straight up gold glitter.
I'm going with Kitten Karma,
the rose gold situation.
You're gonna put the glitter
mainly in the corner of your eye,
and I wouldn't say drag it, I
almost would say just dab it.
(upbeat music)
See that?
And now we're gonna blend that out
with this little brush right here.
Kinda let it dry a little bit,
and then just slightly move it,
but you definitely wanna
make sure that it's dry
and that you're not just moving
it around while it's wet.
'Cause when it's wet, it looks crazy.
Okay, so that's what it should
look like in the beginning.
We're gonna let that dry.
Moving on to the next eye.
And then you're gonna do the bottom.
This you kinda want to be wet,
so you're gonna get the
corner of you're eye,
like where your tear duct
is, get in there like so.
This almost looks like
broken glass on my eyes.
I am not mad at this.
(upbeat music)
Looks like I have Christmas
ornaments on my eyes.
(upbeat music)
Dope.
Now it's time for the lashes.
Love these lashes, they're Baddie B,
and I'm gonna cut the corners.
I do not recommend using
a scissor this big,
but it works.
And I'm just gonna cut the corners off.
My favorite of course, good
old Duo in the dark tone,
which means it'll dry black.
You're gonna just put
that on the lash band.
I like to blow on it so
that it gets kinda tacky
and sticky.
Then I'm gonna use this
mirror to bring it up close.
Place it in the corner.
Even if you're not perfect on
the glitter behind the eye,
it doesn't matter because
the lashes are gonna come in,
and it's just gonna
look like, behind like,
this beautiful little bush of lash
is this glitter in the background.
(upbeat music)
(chiming)
Okay, now, again, because I said
this was gonna become so intense
that I'm gonna go back in
and go under my eyes a
bit more to smoke it out.
Guys, this may be a
really special occasion,
because I'm actually considering
putting black inside my eyes
which I never, ever, ever do.
But I feel like this is so smokey,
it really might make it even better.
I feel like I have a black
liner somewhere in here.
Black liner, black lips?
This is a black lip liner?
Where the heck did I buy that?
And when was I wearing black lipstick?
Oh, there you are.
We've got more back here.
This is black, boom.
So we are using Extra Long
Lasting waterproof eye pencil
in I think it says M10.
So I'm just gonna put
this in my waterline,
go inside your eye.
(upbeat music)
Do the other eye.
Okay, now at this point,
I kinda feel like I'm too dark under,
too light under my eyes,
like it's like way too white,
so the key to that is
to go under your eyes
with like a regular color like this,
which might be like
your regular skin color.
For me, it's 330 Toffee
Caramel from Maybelline Fit Me.
And I'm gonna just dab that,
and then I'm gonna buff it
into my under eye like so.
I just feel like that ends
up not looking as white.
(upbeat music)
Anywhere you feel ended
up looking too white,
you could just go over it
with that just a little bit.
So I'm gonna line my lips right now
with NYX Retractable Lip
Liner in the color nude.
And you know, I always
like to over line my lips
to make 'em look extra big, so.
I'm not gonna get crazy, just
a little bit outside the line.
(upbeat music)
I feel like for the holidays,
because we're gonna be
eating and drinking a lot,
you definitely wanna layer your lip,
so that it doesn't come off.
So I'm filling the whole lip in
with my nude lip liner.
And then I'm gonna go over it
with this Sephora lipstick in Brunch Date.
Hashtag lip stories, that's what it says.
And it's a nude, nude color.
(upbeat music)
Love that.
And I kinda wanna keep it nude and matte.
I was thinking of putting my
favorite lip gloss over it,
which is Fenty Beauty, the lip gloss,
but I actually think we have
so much shimmer going on
that I should keep the lip matte.
And so I love that, so I'm
gonna just add my blush,
which I'm using E.L.F. in
the blush pallette light.
And I'm gonna kinda go with
this little light color over
here, maybe a little bit pink
(upbeat music)
onto the apples of my cheeks,
plus I always make this
face when I put on blush.
And then we are going to
use a little highlight
going back into my KKW Beauty.
Love, love, love this highlighter.
Go ahead, drink, I just
said love, love, love.
I'm catching on to your games, guys,
and I'm going to use this
little brush right here.
Tap that off, and I'm gonna go
right on my higher cheekbone.
Like so.
(upbeat music)
Yes, come through, highlight.
Then I'm gonna do the
tip of my nose as well,
which makes it look so much shorter,
and my cupid's bow.
Okay, mascara.
Where is my mascara?
Okay, and I am using L'Oreal
Paris Voluminous Carbon Black,
my fav.
So I'm gonna go under, and the key,
once you already have lashes on,
you're not trying to create more lashes,
what you're trying to
do is blend your lashes
with the lashes you've put on.
So the way to do that is actually to coat
the inside of your under,
the under of your eye,
almost like touching your
waterline, but on the top.
Does that make sense?
So roll it up in there
so that it blends better,
but you're not like
trying to like lengthen.
If we lengthen this anymore,
it's gonna end up on my forehead.
So I just try to get to the root.
That's the word I was looking for.
You definitely want to coat the root,
so that it looks natural,
as natural as this lash could look.
It is definitely my tradition
to wear glitter eyes for the holidays.
I am one day gonna be
somebody's grandmother,
walking around with this same look,
'cause it is the tradition, okay?
Glitter eyes for they holidays
is just the way to do it.
I feel like a little Christmas ornament
that should go on the tree,
a little glitter bulb.
So I love this look,
and I'm so excited that I got
to share it with you guys.
Let me know what is your
Christmas tradition,
whether it be how you glam yourself,
a certain look you go
for every single year.
Sometimes it's a red lip
for a lot of my girlfriends.
Let me know in the comments below,
and keep the tradition going.
