- We're running out of time
on this makeup challenge.
Wow.
Okay.
(tools clanging)
Ahh!
Are we done?
Do we think we're good?
(upbeat music)
- Hi, guys!
I'm Lauren, here from Cosmo.
You might know me from our video series,
"(beep) We Stole."
It's a fun, little video series
we do in the beauty closet
that we just went to.
- Oh, we just stole lots of (beep).
- We stole all the (beep)
just a few moments ago.
Today, we're doing Halloween makeup looks.
- This Halloween, it's
coming up very, very soon,
horror movies, haunted hayride,
the full moment.
We're obviously here,
as well, to talk about
the brand new Morphe X
James Charles Mini Palette,
which we're going to be
using for this spooky
little Halloween look for today.
- It's so pretty!
- We decided to do a fun look inspired by
the actual campaign that we
shot for the mini palette,
and that was a rainbow skull look.
We already prepped half of Lauren's face.
Once I leave, we're going to challenge her
to do the other half.
(high-pitched, nervous tone)
- So, I'm pulling up the original photo,
which is literally a
work of art, once again,
thank you, wigs and makeup
manager for this look.
- There is no shot that
I'm doing that on my own
on the other side of my face.
- Well, not with that attitude.
So, I'm grabbing a little bit of red,
and we're going to try to sketch out
where the bones are.
So, for this, I used my M433
brush from the eye brush set,
and dipped into the bright red,
which is called "You're Kidding."
- What are you being for Halloween?
- No idea.
I usually put my Halloween
costumes in the moment,
so I have no idea, no
inspiration for this year.
I feel like every year I've
always been so excited about it,
but this year, I have so much
going on the past few months,
that I haven't had any time to even think,
which is scary because I love Halloween.
I'm using my M508 and dipping
into the dark purple shade,
which is called "Escape."
I'm putting this on your jawline,
which is where another fun bone is.
Grabbing my M456, which is the
custom little blending brush
from the brush set,
and dipping into a little bit of a mix
of "Single" and "Escape," which
are the two purple shades,
and we're going to start
blending this as well.
So, I'm using a cranberry dark,
like a dark red,
and I'm using this to add
a little bit of dimension
into the area right here.
And I'm just going to grab
a little bit of dark purple
and a little bit of black as well,
and use this to shade down here, below.
So, you grab some white liquid liner,
and I'm going to use the
tiny little liner brush
from the brush set,
this is the M250-0,
and I'm going to use this to
start sketching out her teeth.
We're going to repeat with the same thing
on the lower lip as well.
We're going to clean this up,
so don't worry that it looks ridiculous.
We just have to add the highlights first
because you can always add shadows
over top of the highlights,
but it's much harder to do
highlights over shadows.
So now that the teeth look crazy,
we're going to fix them and
make them look nice and outlined
using the Anastasia Liquid Liner,
once again, (beep) we stole,
but I do have this in my kit, I love it.
We are going to first
make the little mouth,
and we're going to shade this in too.
Then we're going to go through
and outline all the teeth.
So, a lot of times when we draw,
we like to outline first and color in,
but what I did here is the opposite,
so I colored in first,
and now we're going in with
the outlines over the top,
to correct everything,
and make it look a lot cleaner.
So, that's why we did the white first
and now we're doing the black.
So, now that that's all
sketched out and looking decent,
I'm going to grab the tiny smudger brush
and dip into the black shade,
which is coincidentally
called "Spooky" in the palette.
- I love that!
- And we're going to use
this to go over the top
of that black liner, and
kind of smudge it out,
so it doesn't look like actual outline,
it looks like an actual shadow.
- How do you guys come up with
the names for all the shades?
- I name them all.
All the shades in this
palette are named by me,
and they're after important people,
places, and things in my life,
so they all have a very special meaning.
- Spooky season, obviously.
- Spooky season, obviously,
I love all things horror.
There's some fun ones in here, too, like,
"Skip" is named after my dad,
this is his favorite color in the palette,
"Bee" is after my mom.
Use code "James" for 10% off
which you can, and should do
when you purchase the
palette at Morphe.com.
Now, we're just going to throw
in a little bit more color,
I'm going to grab that same
fluffy brush from before,
and dip into a little bit of "Playground,"
a little bit of "Brother,"
maybe a little bit of
"Cola," the dark blue shade,
and we're going to use this
to add more to that black shading below.
- How do you take your makeup off?
- I just scrub it right off.
- You're just like, "I'm
going ham, I'm taking it off,
and I'm going to bed."
- Absolutely.
I take my skincare routine
very seriously every night.
That definitely keeps my skin looking good
with the amount of makeup that I wear.
Because it's my job, my
skin actually breaks out
when I don't wear makeup for a few days,
which is really strange.
- That is hilarious.
- It's also kind of frustrating,
because when I want to have
a week off, or something,
my face goes (beep) mad.
- And your skin's like,
"Give me foundation!"
- Yeah, like, "Oh, no!"
I'm grabbing the M506, which
is another fluffy brush,
in this black shade,
which is, once again, "Spooky,"
and shading in some little areas
to add a little bit more
dimension in the colors.
Oh, oh my god, I missed an entire area!
I'm so stupid.
You guys, this is the first
Halloween look of the year, literally.
I knew that I was forgetting
something, and I was like,
"Something is not looking
right with the shape."
- I was like, "Is there
something wrong with my face?
What's going on here?"
- No, you're beautiful.
I have to add another line into this area,
so, I'm going to grab the
liquid liner, once again.
I'm going to go in and down,
and we're going to create
a little moment like that.
- Did you use a primer on me?
- No.
- Interesting.
- I used a little bit of moisturizer.
- I'm going to get hate mail for this.
I hate primers,
I think they're so annoying.
I feel like everyone's like,
"You need to use a primer if you're
doing a super detailed look."
Is that not true?
- No.
I'm a firm believer in using
moisturizer before your makeup,
I love the Ole Henrikson Gel Cream,
I love the Tatcha Water Cream,
those are all I ever use
to make my makeup stick,
it does so much of a better job.
- I feel validated.
- Yeah.
So, I'm using this liner to fill this in,
then I'm going to shade this with black.
Once again, dipping into
"Spooky" in the palette
in that same M506 brush,
and we're going to go over this
and start shading in this area.
This is finally coming together,
that definitely helped it so much.
I need to add a little more blue.
- These shadows have amazing color payoff.
- Yeah.
The one most important thing for me
when it came to creating
a colorful palette,
was that the colors were colorful.
Because I've used color palettes forever,
obviously my makeup looks
have always been very, very colorful.
The palettes that I had
access to in the past
just weren't the most pigmented,
or you really had to layer
them up and layer them up.
Sometimes, when it comes
to creating those looks,
a lot of extra product
can sometimes create cracking,
or it starts to wear off
at the end of the day.
- Yeah.
- Okay, guys.
We're running out of time
on this makeup challenge,
and I want to make sure
that Lauren looks good
and not crazy at the end of this,
so I'm going to quickly
add on an eyeshadow look
to her eye,
so I'm just going to grab
a little bit of "Escape,"
which is that dark purple.
I'm going to try to do a rainbow look
as fast as I possibly can,
so wish me luck here guys.
I'm going to pop this right on
the outer corner of her eye,
(sigh)
Oh my god, okay.
Then we're going to add
a little bit of "Skip,"
which is the bottom
right, bright pink shade,
named after my dad.
We're going to pop this right into
the center of that crease,
and buff that into "Escape."
This is a very ambitious
20 minute makeup challenge.
I can't even believe
that we made it this far.
Okay, guys, grabbing
a little bit of "Bee,"
which is the bright yellow shade,
using my M433 as well.
Going to pop that in her
inner crease area.
Wow, okay.
(tools clanging)
Ahh!
Gonna grab a little bit of her concealer,
on my concealer brush, the M224,
and I'm gonna cut her crease very quickly.
On her lid, I'm going to grab
a little bit of "Ring Light,"
first, that's the bright metallic white.
I'm going to place this right
on the inner third of the lid,
it's so beautiful and shimmery.
Going to highlight the inner
corner with this as well.
And with that same brush, I'm
gonna pick up a little bit
of "Hello," which is the shimmery
blue shade in the palette.
I'm going to pack this blue
shade right next to "Ring Light"
to connect the white and the purple.
Then, a little bit of "A Capella,"
which is the metallic
dark blue, same brush.
Lower lash line, super quick,
going to grab a little bit of "Cola,"
which is the dark blue,
and this is on the M152 brush.
I'm gonna tap this right up
under her lower lash line,
connecting it up to the
blue and purple from before,
with a little bit of "Escape."
Now I'm going to grab a
little bit of "Social Blade,"
which is the bright green
shade in the palette.
- Oh my god, that color is so fun.
- It's one of my favorites.
I don't use green that often,
but I'm obsessed with this one
because it's so bright and lime-y.
We're tapping this right
under the middle of the eye.
And finally, a little bit more
yellow, on that same brush,
just to finish off and complete
that little circle of
rainbow that we had going on.
Going to grab a little bit of "Canvas,"
which is that bone nude shade.
I'm going to put this under her eye,
because we have a little bit of fallout
and I don't have time to
fix it with foundation.
- That's a good hack!
- It's a great tip.
I do this all the time.
A little bit more "Ring Light,"
on a little brush, and pop
this into the inner corner
for a nice little bit of glow,
a little bit on the browbone,
oh my god, that was too much!
Put it on the cheek, for
the last few seconds.
I mean, it's not terrible!
Are we done?
It's kind of good!
Do we think we're good?
A lash will definitely be a good job
of distracting the viewer...
- Like, all you'll see are my lashes.
- Yeah.
Oh my god, this is (beep),
are you kidding me?
This is not the time.
Let's add in a nose really quickly.
Just for funsies, why not?
Lauren, I--
- Let me see!
- I think we are done with this
half face power of makeup rainbow skull.
That's quite the challenge, first of all.
This is quite the video.
Hope you guys enjoyed this.
This is the best I could do
in a short period of time.
Ready for the grand reveal?
- Let me see!
- We'll use the mirror
in the iconic palette, now that it's here.
Ready?
- Yeah.
- Do you want to do the honors?
- Open it up!
- You want me to do it?
- Yeah!
- Okay, ready?
- Holy (beep)!
It looks so, oh my god!
Also, wow, I like me
with fake lashes, okay!
Remember when I was
like, "Do we need these?"
Yes, we definitely need them.
- Always need them.
- Guys, this was so fun!
