well hello everyone welcome back to my
channel
so this video is a little bit it's
different and it's not
i was just for some reason really
inspired to do a video
kind of like a throwback makeup tutorial
in the way that i used to do so much
that i kind of like lost
lost the fire for for a long time um
just
teaching makeup in my videos i think
a lot of people have said that you know
i instruct well
on my makeup tutorials um and that
people learn a lot
um when they watch my videos so i just
kind of wanted to go back to basics and
like do that again so this look i
in this video i'll be walking you
through a to z how to achieve it and
also
giving you tips for um makeup
application
just like i said back to how i used to
do makeup tutorials
really making it about the
the instruction the learning i actually
have fun playing with makeup again like
i
lost that for a long time but i really
enjoyed this
so i hope you guys do too keep watching
to see how i achieve this look
since this is a darker eye look i'm
gonna start with the eyes first wipe and
then move on to the face
for my eyes i've used this before and i
really love it because there's so many
colors in it and it's very affordable
it's by wet and wild
it's got all these pretty colors in here
it's got a good balance of neutral and
colorful actually so you can do a lot of
different looks with this normally i
would put my concealer over my lids as a
primer
but today i'm actually using this trio
from vanity makeup cosmetics this would
be my concealer that i'm going to use
later so i'm actually going to use this
to prime my lids
just with my finger
giving it a nice smooth canvas for that
eyeshadow to go on i don't know why my
lighting is like
snap crackle popping right now
so if you hear noises that's my light
this is nice and creamy when you're
blending it out and then it dries down
so first up of course is going to be my
transition shades and i think i want to
use
i think i'm going to start with this one
actually
it's kind of a lighter neutral but i can
build over with darker ones
and this i'm going to build into my brow
bone
and blend it into my crease as well
very light shade
we're just getting started
so that's a nice light shade to begin
with i'm going to build over this
i'm going to keep that same brush
actually
this blending brush
and you know what why don't we go into
this right here
um this sort of brick tone it's still
matte
anytime you're building transition
shades make sure you're always using
matte colors
if you use a shimmer the lighting is
gonna kind of play with
the lights and darks of the shimmer so
it's not gonna look like a smooth canvas
it's gonna look
like there's too much variation in it so
something matte is always ideal
you see how lightly i'm just going in
and kind of distributing that shade
just very lightly with
the very tip of the brush and even the
way i'm holding the brush
see i'm not a makeup artist but i've
always painted my whole life
and the way i paint
like this is the same way i paint on my
face
like i hold the brush the same way just
very light
that's where the pinky comes from guys
all these years we've been making fun of
the pinky
it's for a purpose it just like makes
everything light you don't want to be
like
holding onto a brush like this you want
everything to
be super light so that is a good base to
start with i just put the lighter shade
closer to my brow bone
but still blended it into the crease and
then went in with a slightly deeper
transition shade a transition shade is
going to be any range
of a medium neutral color it could be
more warm it could be more ashy it could
be more cool
actually what i'm going to do is i'm
going to go into the lid
and nothing's going to look blended for
a minute but instead of
working from the crease in i'm going to
start at the
lid and then blend my way out so
i can do this with my finger i think so
i'm going to take that olive shade
and i'm going to just
press that into my lid from inner corner
to outer corner and just blend into the
crease as much as you can blend with a
finger
so if you want to know how far to go up
with this
just look directly into the mirror and
see where your eyelid naturally creases
and that's sort of where you want to
stop and that that's where you can blend
with the other colors
in your crease so this is where i'm
going to stop
let's just clean that off my fingers so
we're going back to a brush this is the
smith
235 one of my favorites especially for a
smoky look
but let's deepen this a little bit and
go into this brown
dark brown matte here and when you're
loading up your brush
again try to keep everything really
concentrated
at the closer to the tip of the brush
because that's really
you're not gonna you know use the entire
length of the brush on your lid
so just try to keep it at the very tip
so this again we're just going to add
right here
to this outer
edge and outer corner
and then start to blend it with the
crease and if it starts to mute
the green too much toward the center no
worries because
shimmer shades are just like that you
can layer over anything and it
will be like the prominent shade just
again concentrating right at that
outer edge and then
sweeping inward i kind of dump the color
right here first you see it kind of dot
it on first
and then start to sweep
inward that way you're concentrating
most of the color exactly when you want
where you want it
and then the rest you can just blend and
then you just don't want to go past your
initial transition color
you can go back with that first brush
and just blend
and you know eyeshadow isn't all about
just blending
um it's also about placement placement
is just as important
so when you see me doing this this
little dotting motion
i'm placing the color anywhere that it
looks like it's like
needed any spot that looks
bare or doesn't match the other side
you're just doing this by kind of just
dotting it on
i do want to go back to that first
blending brush and grab a little more of
that
brick shade because i think it actually
looks really nice with the green
and use that to blend into the inner
part
of the crease
just kind of gives that warmth all right
that looks good to me now i'm going to
go back in with my finger
grab more of that olive shimmer
and then go back
and just you see that just reinforces
that shade since i've added darker
colors
it kind of brings back that pop of green
and shimmers blend much more easily
than mattes do so
that's a little advantage so that
shimmer green you really want to focus
mostly at the center of your lid exactly
where it lines up with your iris because
when like i said when you're out and the
light naturally hits your face
that highest point of your eyelid is
gonna catch that light
and it's gonna bring a lot of like
dimension to that green
so again just adding to the center and
then blending out with that darker shade
i'm kind of covering whatever is left
here so i think i'm actually happy with
this simple clean green smoky so i'm going to
wipe off everything that fell on my face
and move on
to the base so for the base as i
mentioned this is going to be
a hi-lo look i would say if you're going
to spend
money on one thing in your makeup
routine
if you're going to splurge on one thing
i would say it should be foundation
foundation is harder to nail and
i think the more development that goes
into
a foundation uh the
usually the the better it turns out so i
find that the
more luxury brands do a better job um
the tom fords the hourglasses
the um you know pat mcgrath charlotte
tilbury
um ysl you know they do a really really
good job
of nailing foundation so to start my
base
i'm going to use a primer and you know i
don't use a primer unless i
absolutely love it this is by dominique
cosmetics you guys know kristin
dominique she did a collab
with jade marie jdwady180 on
instagram she's an aesthetician so it
was like the perfect collab
to do a primer and a face mist this
primer is
so wonderful the consistency
is beautiful like it's just so first of
all
that cucumber comes through immediately
but just the way it feels on my skin
is just so it's like my skin is drinking
it's like drinking a glass of water it
just has such a nice
slip and i feel like it's just really
hydrating my skin so
i love this primer just light weight too
it just feels you know sometimes primers
feel like this like
like a layer of nylon sitting on your
skin
i don't like that i like it to feel like
just it's hydrating my base and it's
ready for
like a dewy finish so for my foundation
i'm using the tom ford traceless
perfecting foundation this is one of my
favorites
they actually just came out with a newer
one which i love
but i think it's a bit light for me
right now so i'm going to use this one
the color i'm using is sable
i'm using a tom ford brush as well to
apply
so i'm just going to stick a little bit
stipple
into my skin this is one of my favorite
foundations it just has such a nice
wear it feels lightweight it covers
extremely well
anything that's lightweight but is going
to
provide good coverage while still
looking like skin
is an a plus for me i went hiking
and i got a little red in the chest
didn't realize that was going to happen
i hardly ever get red but for some
reason my chest area is extremely white
so i didn't think to um spf there
so a little uh
a little flushed there so see as much as
i'm like
applying this it doesn't really look
like i have foundation on
it's just such a good formula but i feel
like it
kind of like works with skin to give it
that coverage but to really
still maintain the integrity of the look
of skin and another thing i've
just seen on it's like a trendy thing
on instagram but when people do oh it's
trying to sneak away again
when people do um full face routines
and it's like they'll take a brush
let me see where's my flat brush they'll
take a brush and they'll do like
paint on a bunch of foundation
one you're wasting product and two it's
just not necessary you don't need
that much to achieve a nice result
that's why i go back a couple of times i
only like pump like a little bit each
time
and if you're stippling it into your
skin it's kind of just like melting in
and spreading out on its own it doesn't
need to be this mask that you put on
unless that's what you like but if you
want to key if you want to want to save
a product
and also just keep it looking more just
fresh and natural
do it that way just little by little
stipple it into your skin
and if you need more go back and get
more i'm going
to move into contour actually next and
we're going to use that
flat brush i showed you um again this is
from vanity
makeup cosmetics uh this is their
sculpting glow palette in the medium
trio
so you've got your your contour your
conceal and also your highlight
so i'm gonna take that contour lord does
i need it right now
i'm just gonna give myself a little
a lot actually a lot of
definition here
just a bit there with these 22 pounds
i just i'm really struggling lately with
um
just mostly this area so i'm going to
try to define that a little bit more
i'm taking that same brush because it
already has foundation on it so it's
going to blend really nicely
and i'm going to use that to blend this
out now when you're blending contour
blend down and up do not blend
i'm sorry down as in like along the
hollow
but don't go down toward your jawline
if anything go up
and lift and then blend that out
and i only put a bit here because my
face is wider so i try to narrow it out
a little bit
all throughout not a ton of contour for
me on my forehead because it's
i don't have a big forehead so again on
this side
we're going into the hollow and
up
my hair just really has a mind of its
own you cannot tame this mane
all right so we got a little more
definition which is what i needed
now i'm taking a smaller flat brush a
synthetic brush
and i'm going to dip into this concealer
shade right here in the center
and we're just going to really highlight
and conceal
this center part of my face
so i'm actually just going to use this
brush
to blend out to make this as precise
as i can
so see for a full coverage look like
this
a product like this really does a nice
job of creating that
defined sort of airbrushed looking
center of your face
it looks really pretty in pictures
obviously it's a heavier look
but actually you know it doesn't feel or
look heavy on my skin
i'm looking at it obviously in person
you can't really tell on camera but
it doesn't really look heavy
you just get that impact because it is
such an opaque concealer
this chair makes my back hurt so bad
obviously if you have issues of like
darkness under your eyes
um before you go into a step like this
um you can do something like a coral or
a salmon peachy shade depending on your
complexion
under your eyes first to neutralize that
darkness and then you can go in with a
lighter shade
just putting this light of a shade over
darkness
is going to get you like a gray kind of
ashy look
so you definitely want to neutralize
first and then
lighten up so i'm actually going to take
this brush again and i don't feel like
it's completely blended
the concealer and the the contour right
now
so there's nothing left on this brush
but
if i just dab this on the edge of the
concealer
you see it's just going to blend it out
a little bit better
leftover product on your brush is your
friend
you can use it for so many different
things i've even taken leftover
and when i say leftover it's just really
just residual products left on the brush
i've taken it and like blended out my
eyeshadow edge so you can use it for a
lot of things
so i'm going to take this by persona
cosmetics it is our super blush
in georgia really gorgeous color
it's like a nice soft peach i'm gonna
take this brush favorite but one of my
favorite brushes of all time this is the
smashbox buildable
blush i think it's called it rubbed off
but i'm pretty sure that's what it's
called
so i'm just gonna use this to
just dab on a little bit of blush
see i took the product and i used it for
both cheeks i'm not gonna go back and
grab more blush because i want it to
just be really soft
and i also want to maintain the the
concealer the that brightness of the
concealer so before i highlight
i am going to go in and obviously set
that cream concealer
i'm going to use the cover fx perfect
setting powder
this is i would say probably my probably
my favorite
um setting powder it's really good it's
talc free
it's never failed me so i'm just gonna
use this brush
or this sponge here
and just go into these
center parts under my eye
and then down the sides of my nose just
to make sure
i don't get greasy because it is a cream
product
all right now we're ready for a little
bit of highlight the last step in this
palette
is this right here but i'm just going to
dab that on
to the high points of my cheek here
and then kind of just continue on
in a c formation along my temples
it's really subtle you could go
extra with this it's definitely
buildable but
i'm gonna keep it pretty subtle
so nice all right so final step for
the face i'm gonna use the mist so this
is
the same collection as the primer from
dominique cosmetics so i'm just going to
give my face a spritz
it's a super super fine mist
so let's go ahead and finish up the eyes
hit that bottom lash line and then add
anything else
that it needs so i'm going to go back to
my palette here so i'm going to take a
smudge brush here and i'm going to start
with
that transition shade that we put in the
crease
i'm gonna go right here into my bottom
lash line
as my kind of like my starter color
my base
maybe i just leave it like that kind of
like that reddish tone with the green it
looks kind of cool
so one thing you don't want to do with
your bottom lash line which i see a lot
and i've had makeup artists do it on me
sometimes and i'm just like
horrified is i don't know
where they teach this because it's so
opposite of the look you want to get
but putting darkness at the outer corner
here
if you put darkness out here what's that
going to do
what illusion is that going to create
it's going to make your eye look like
it's turned downward
we don't want that we want it to look
like it's being pulled up
and kind of like you know snatched so
if you want to achieve a look like that
take a dark brown
mat and put that in the inner corner
here
so if you've got darkness in here it's
going to drag down the inner corner
and if you've got darkness up here it's
going to drag up that outer corner so
you have this
opposite pull in the directions you
actually want
if you put that darkness here it's just
going to drag your eye down so don't do
that
just put a little bit of that darkness
right here
and then kind of just blend it out you
don't want to just plop it on there not
blend
just blend it out towards the end
so i'm going to take a tiny brush a
little smudge brush so we'll grab that
one there
i'm going to take that and just
pop it into this inner part
just for a little extra little extra
something
and i don't want this to go up too high
so i just added a little something just
to the inner corner
for a little extra jazz now i brought an
eyeliner
because i thought i was gonna do some
like mega
smoked out liner action but i'm actually
not going to because
this on its own is just so pretty i
don't want to mess with it
i think once you put liner sometimes it
becomes overpowering
i like to pick either is it going to be
a liner focused look or is it going to
be
a shadow focused look this is a shadow
focus look
so i'm going to take a liner and use it
in the inner rim of my
lash line and my waterline this is
one of the best affordable liners you'll
find it's by pixie it's their endless
silky eye pen
um in black they have it in brown they
have a couple in a couple colors
it's just a really it rivals any luxury
eyeliner super soft glides on it's
blendable stays on so
i'm gonna try not to poke myself in the
eye
i'm just
kind of nudging this into the inner part
of
my lash line
okay so i got it in all the way from
inner corner to outer corner
moving on to mascara mascara you can use
anything mascara is the kind of thing
where you can find a
bomb drugstore mascara a lot of my
favorites
are high-end but i also have a lot of
favorites that are in the drugstore
category
um this is more high-end this is
legendary lashes by charlotte tilbury
but in the splurge category
mascara not so much
and no falsies with this look because
you guys know how i feel about a really
pretty eyeshadow look
and blocking the view with some chunky
lashes
so for my brows
i have something high-end and something
affordable so
this is by rimmel i think it's an okay
product um
the only thing is you really have to
it's called their brow pro micro
it's a pen that actually works really
nicely
it creates like these real hair looking
strokes
which is exactly what you want out of a
product like this but
if you don't hold it in a certain
position it starts to run out of the
product and it's not that user friendly
so i have to finesse a little bit
and then this is by hourglass one of my
favorite brow gels
it's their arch brow gel pretty
excellent product
i'm actually going to start with the
brow gel which is
not typical but i kind of want to like
put the brows in place and then see
where
where i want to fill in a little bit if
at all
so get those brows to stand up nice and
tall
especially with the look like this you
want them to look fluffy
okay so i'm going to take the pen and
just
lightly fill in a couple of spots
that's better
and finally moving on to lips this is
also going to be high low
well sorry not high low
medium range and low i'm going to use a
kkw
liner and a lipstick but then i have a
wet and wild gloss that's really pretty
so i'm going to leave it up to you if
you like it more matte or more glossy
so the lip liner i'm using is the 2.5
nude
they did a really good job with these
lip products like a really
pretty range of nudes
like every nude you can possibly want
it's not really lining lining i'm more
contouring
so now going in with the lipstick this
is their 3.5 nude
blend that in with the uh
the liner so you can keep this matte
with uh just like a basic nude like this
this kind of like
matches the transition shade in the eyes
or
you can go into a nude gloss this is by
wet n wild and it's a
it's called send nudes i'm just going to
layer over
i actually prefer this i think it
lightened it up just a little bit
and just the gloss i think goes really
well with the eye look
and that does it for this look i know a
lot has changed on youtube
and things are pretty different but this
is kind of nice to kind of go back to
to my roots i hope you guys enjoyed this
look please let me know what you think
in the comments and i will see you in my
next video
