Hi guys! Today I'm with the one and only
Loretta Grace!
I'm finally doing a make-up
on a dark complexion.
Lots of you guys
have been asking for it,
and I'm so happy
to have Loretta as my model.
To show you a
make-up tutorial on these tones.
We got inspired by Beyonce,
in her last video "Hymn For The Weekend".
But we did change something,
for example the nude lips.
We have a black smokey eye
with an olive green, gold reflection.
Strong brows, perfect base
with a special contouring,
and nude lips.
Loretta is also on YouTube and
she has two channels:
the first is "Loretta Grace",
which is about music,
the second is "Grace on your Dash",
which is about makeup.
- For dark skins!
- For dark skins.
Let's move to the tutorial,
I hope you like it!
Let's start with a moisturizer,
this is the Matifying Fluid by Caudalie,
since you told me that
your skin tends to get oily,
so this is ideal.
It's the first time
I show my bare skin.
- Really?
- Yes.
I apply an eye cream,
this is by Vichy.
I love it.
- I can tell you have an expert hand.
- Yes?
Let's moisturize the lips.
Oh god, it smells weird,
what's inside?
I know, it doesn't smell good.
This is the Letibalm,
I usually use the Blistex balm.
They smell bad, but they're great
before make-up as moisturizers.
Taste it! Please taste it!
Please, lick your lips!
It's very good, it's sweet.
So you lick the...
For foundation, I'd like
to use yours: the Teint Idole Ultra.
I would have used the
Urban Decay Naked, which I love,
but I'm curious to try this one,
which is in the shade 10.
This smells good.
Yes, true.
All foundations by Lancome do...
I'm applying it with the
Contour Brush by Real Techniques.
Now with a damp Beauty Blender
I work the product into the skin.
- You never do it?
- No, I'll start doing it!
The coverage is the same,
but it looks more natural.
This is so cool!
I apply on the entire eyelid
the black Eyeshadow Base by NYX.
I apply it on the entire lid.
It's hard to apply make-up
on my eye shape.
Do you often get your make-up
done by make up artists?
Lately, I've been doing
my own make-up,
for TV, or theater...
I do it myself.
I had bad experiences in the past,
I should trust them more, but...
Beautiful!
Now I apply
powder eyeshadows.
I mix Petra and Caramel
eyeshadows by Nabla:
one is more on the red side,
the other one is more orange.
I use a soft brush,
this one is by H&M.
- Are you joking?
- I don't know if they still have them.
I apply them in the crease
as transition shade.
When I was little
I was very insecure...
- Really?
- Yes.
I didn't like myself.
Sometimes I would look
in the mirror and think:
"No, I don't want to be like this"...
- Oh, really?
- Yes.
I didn't have any beauty models,
unlike all the other girls...
they looked up
to actresses or singers...
Back then we didn't have all
the dark skinned artists we have now.
I now apply on the center of the lid
this eyeshadow called Extravirgin.
It's an olive green,
with a golden reflection.
Very pretty.
I pad it on the center of the eye.
On this black base it's beautiful.
I leave it intense in the center
and I blend it towards the edges.
- Are you using the same brush?
- Yes.
I then take a brown eyeshadow...
- Do you like it?
- I like it a lot.
I then take a dark brown,
this is Camelot,
and I intensify the outer V
and blend upwards
to give more definition
and shape to the eye.
Now I use Glitz,
an old gold shade,
and I apply it in the center,
to emphasize the reflections.
With the black kajal pen by YSL
I give definition to the eye.
With a soft brush I blend it
- this is a lip brush.
Now I go on with the base.
With the Kryolan Circle,
which I absolutely love,
I want to see what you do now!
I mix these two shades and
I conceal and highlight the under eye.
With the concealer, I also define
the shape of the eye make-up.
I hate sharp lines,
later I will blend the lower lash line.
This is basically what I do.
I hate using the adhesive tape.
No, the tape for the winged liner,
no....It's... No, no, no.
With the same concealer
I also correct this area here.
On dark skins, this area
around the lips is always darker and grey.
So we have to warm up
and highlight this area,
otherwise we get the same effect
of an under eye circle.
Exactly.
You are the first to say this.
I've never heard
a make-up artist saying this.
Never.
This is such great coverage.
With the lighter shade, since
I know you love nose contouring,
I apply it on the center of the nose
and also here.
Ah, now I'm curious.
- This is a brush by Coastal Scents.
- Coastal Scents? Where did you get it?
They sent me this kit
a long time ago, with new products,
and I love this white brushes set.
They have amazing brushes.
Now I use the darker shade
and I apply it on the bone.
I bring it in the crease.
This is what Sonjdradeluxe
always does as well.
I always ask her:
"How do you do it?"
It's important, otherwise
it doesn't look natural.
- And also here.
- Ah, I've never tried this.
- I apply the same shade here.
- Ah, that's clever.
Now we need to blend.
I always do it with a Beauty Blender.
I use the same shade
also to sculpt. Smile.
With the Beauty Blender
I apply Banana powder by Ben Nye.
With the same sponge
I used for the baking,
I press a bit of powder
on the rest of the face,
without adding too much powder.
This way we prevent oiliness
and we keep the skin matte.
- How long does it take to set?
- Just the time for the brows.
And I also want to see
what you do here!
I use the Brow Divine in Jupiter,
which is a dark brown.
- Directly, without brushing them?
- No, first I brush them.
- This one is by Anastasia?
- Yes.
Now I use Auborn,
the darker shade,
and I warm up.
And then I use Dark Nude
Magic Pencil by Nabla.
And I blend.
I had some doubts, but...
I set the brows with the Clear
Brow Gel by Anastasia Beverly Hills.
In the corner of the eye
I apply Bombay Black,
Bombay Black Velvetline by NABLA.
- You've never tried this one?
- No.
It's one of the blackest pencils ever.
In the waterline it lasts forever
because it's totally matte.
I go back to the kajal by YSL
and I define the lower lash line.
And I blend it.
I add some black in the corner.
Now it's time for mascara.
It's the Hypnose
Volume a Porter by Lancome.
This mascara is gorgeous.
- Wow, your lashes.
- My lashes are difficult.
- They're amazing.
- No, they're difficult,
with false lashes it's a mess.
She's complaining because
she has curved eyelashes.
Let's apply falsies,
these are by K.T.,
and I use the medium ones.
You need to give me
the same effect you give to Marina.
- All.... You know....
- OK.
- You applied it already?
- Yes.
Bastard.
You need to teach me how you do it.
- You applied this one as well?
- Yes.
I emphasize the contouring with
the Face Contour Kit by Sleek,
this is in the shade Medium.
For highlight, I use
Gold Deposit by MAC.
I apply some fixing spray
to emphasize the effect.
For blush, I use
Burnt Pepper by MAC.
I apply it on
the apples of the cheeks,
to give a healthy touch.
To dark skinned girls,
because to the rest of you...
It's a slap touch.
For lips, I draw the shape
with Spice lip pencil by MAC.
Then I apply Bulkis by Nabla.
It's kind of a peachy nude.
It's time for mascara on the falsies.
Yes, go wild with it.
So this is the final look,
I hope you liked it.
- Do you like it?
- I love it.
What is different
from what you usually do?
Brows, which are thicker,
and you didn't use the puff.
Yes, because she uses
powder like this.
With loads of powder.
- Exactly.
- I'm glad you like it.
And the falsies are gorgeous,
you need to teach me how you do it.
They all know I'm a fan
of individual lashes.
They're beautiful.
I hope you found this video helpful,
and I send you a big kiss!
