00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:05.200
Welcome to the BLT podcast.
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:17.039
Big time.
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:18.000
Sammy.
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:20.800
We've been teasing the Sammy for a long time.
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:22.960
Welcome to the BLT Podcast.
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:23.839
I'm Lucas.
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:24.800
And I'm Lexi.
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:27.679
And we're spilling the tea today in a special way.
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:29.760
My little teeny episode.
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:30.399
Yes.
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:37.759
On makeup, because Lexi is a pro and I want to be educated on all things makeup.
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:45.119
And again, as a reminder, if you are new to the pod, when we say the other one is a pro, it means they know more than we do.
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:47.759
That does not mean more than everybody.
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:52.640
No, it means I know more about makeup than she does, and that's specifically it.
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:54.399
I am not a pro makeup artist.
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:56.159
I have an affinity for makeup.
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:56.479
Yeah.
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:57.520
Just want to be specific.
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:01.439
So if any pro makeup artists have any comments on what I have to say, please share them.
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:02.719
Come sit on the couch.
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:07.280
Because we would love to ask you questions so I can get better and she can have a great starting place.
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:08.640
Exactly.
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:13.599
I also want to address the elephant in the room that we do have a guest today.
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:16.640
Our new member of the team.
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.519
I don't know what we're calling him or her.
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:20.959
Yeah, we haven't named her yet.
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:21.519
Him or her.
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:23.200
There, non-binary.
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:24.239
It's a sandwich.
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:27.760
It's our sandwich.
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:32.480
Um but I'm very excited to have the BLT on the team.
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:33.120
Yes.
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:34.799
So a little mascot.
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:35.840
A little mascot.
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:36.319
Love.
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:37.920
So we are tackling makeup today.
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:38.799
Yes.
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:40.959
Where where do you want to start?
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:42.480
Yeah, where are we starting?
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:46.239
I I'll tell you what I know about makeup and then we'll go from there.
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:55.840
I think the biggest thing for me is the layers and how much time things take, and also what is used for what.
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:56.319
Right.
00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:02.560
Because oftentimes I see one video, maybe ten, and I'm like, I need to buy this product.
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:08.560
And then I get it and I'm like, I could watch tutorials on how to do this, but I don't do that.
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:11.840
And then I'm confused and sad that I spent money on something I don't use.
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:19.680
And also, if I'm wanting to have a makeup look look a certain way, and I don't know how to get there, then I get really frustrated.
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.719
I do know, I feel like I know the two extremes.
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:34.479
I know how to do like feater makeup just to like know that my features are accentuated for the stage, and I know how to like put mascara on and just like have a little extra something special.
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:42.719
And I've dabbled in trying to understand contour and bronzer, but that's when lines are blurred because I'm like, where does blush go?
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:44.560
How do you find blush?
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:49.599
The bronzer is not contour, it's not highlighter, it's not concealer.
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:50.080
Okay.
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:50.800
Oh my gosh!
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:52.000
Okay, so okay, okay.
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:59.039
Maybe you start with the layers of like do you wash your face and then moisturize and do SPF and then primer?
00:02:59.520 --> 00:02:59.759
Correct.
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:00.479
Toner?
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:01.120
Correct.
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:05.280
So I I will like to say that makeup is very subjective.
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:08.159
It's based off of really what works best with your skin, so that's really important.
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:15.439
So I'm gonna go walk through kind of mine and how I've how I apply makeup, okay, what and what each step is for.
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:26.479
And I some people hate the answer that makeup is really gonna be different based off of your face, but it's the same way that everything is kind of gonna be based off of the eye the beholder, but like a general rule.
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:28.080
We'll go over the general rules.
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:48.479
My personal skincare before is I if it's morning, I'll do like a nice like oil cleanser, and then I'll put on I do a milky toner, a hydrating milky toner, which is a toner, but it's like it's obviously it's a name hydrating milky toner, so it's instead of being like a clear toner, it's when you see like it's labeled toner and it's white.
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:50.000
Okay, and it's a little bit thicker.
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:51.840
How would you describe toner?
00:03:51.919 --> 00:04:00.719
Is toner toner kind of like smooths out your skin and it gets a little bit, I don't want to say deeper than moisturizer because I'm not necessarily like I don't know the science behind her.
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:06.719
Besides it tones, and that's when we need a professional style.
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:12.240
We need a scientist, but I wouldn't understand the science because you can you make like I've heard of rice toners.
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:13.599
I would not recommend that.
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:14.960
I did do that for my skin.
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.360
Oh if it's professionally made, yes.
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.240
Don't do what I did, which was in 2021.
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:46.560
See a girl who cleared her skin with a rice, I think she did like a rice toner and and she like did a rice face mask, and like you basically make it yourself with like water and rice, which is probably great, but unless you have like a chef style, sterile kitchen, which most people probably don't, no matter how hard you try, unless you are like actually sterilizing the stuff, you have to think about you're put usually you're making it in like a bowl that you've usually made food in.
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:53.120
Unless you're specifically and you've washed your hands 16 million times, you're just kind of inviting bacteria into what you're then gonna put on your skin.
00:04:53.439 --> 00:05:04.240
So my personal rule is don't, and this is hard fought learned rule, don't force like don't home make your your skincare.
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:04.560
Okay.
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:14.079
And skincare is definitely not my I skincare is not my I feel like I could talk a little bit about skincare, but maybe another time, maybe another time mini episode.
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:14.959
Yeah, absolutely.
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.920
Actually, I would love to dig into skincare with you, especially if you have that details.
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:29.199
Because like truly makeup is like where my thank you.
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:32.319
Um I definitely would love to.
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:44.319
There were no second guess, we're just like Yeah, well, if we're gonna harmonize, uh we should have harmonized.
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:47.439
Um, okay.
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.480
Makeup is my specialty specifically.
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:53.680
Makeup can be silly goopy.
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:57.360
Yes, makeup can be silly goopy, but I'm not gonna be able to get into the specifics of skincare.
00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:59.040
I that's kind of my bond spot.
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:01.680
The reason I wear makeup is because my skin isn't the clearest.
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:05.279
Um and I use makeup, I I want to take care of my skin, so I do.
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:06.720
I try my best to.
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:10.879
Um, but in the event where it doesn't work, that's where I use makeup.
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:11.839
So I kind of lean in there.
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:16.399
So my skincare ahead of time is I'll use a hydrating milky toner and then I put a moisturizer on.
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:20.000
Um, most of my products that I have have SP I SPF in them.
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:22.079
I will sometimes put any SPF on.
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:25.199
I'm again not a skincare person.
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:29.439
I SPF is um gets in my eyes.
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.879
It like no matter what I do, a face SPF gets in my eyes.
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:34.319
I've tried about 15.
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:38.800
Um, and no matter what happens, because of I'm so oily or if I'm sweating.
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:46.160
So I try to be better about it, but I've just kind of gravitated now more towards like products that have SPF in them, so I'm still protecting my skin.
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.519
Um, so that's more so kind of where I land.
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:54.720
But as far as like a traditional sonauer starting makeup, I'm just gonna like start on the basics.
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:55.360
So primer.
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:59.040
Primer is gonna be based off of actually let me start even smaller.
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:00.959
Most important thing about your makeup.
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:12.639
So if you ever get to the end of your makeup and you're like, I've seen I got this product and this product and this product, and they should worked really well on their own, but for some reason it's like lifting or it's peeling, or like it feels like splotchy, separating on your skin.
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:23.680
What's really important is looking at the ingredients on the back of your makeup because you're either going to have one ingredient be the first one, which is water, or it's gonna be a silicone.
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:28.800
Silicone and water are not gonna lay nicely on top of each other.
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:39.600
So if you are going to try new products, make sure if you're starting, so if you start with a silicone primer, but you put a water foundation on top of it, that's when it's gonna start to separate.
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:43.920
So if the first and it's literally the first ingredient, it's on everything of makeup.
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:45.040
That's my recommendation.
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:49.759
That's where most people, if you can kind of start really small there, totally recommend that.
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:53.839
So primer, you're gonna use that if depending on your skin type.
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:55.839
Start with the primer, it's gonna be based off of what you're looking for.
00:07:55.920 --> 00:08:00.160
Okay, so that's just like kind of to give your skin a same base.
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:06.319
So what I'm basically doing is I'm putting primer here and primer here that's gonna make all of the skin act the same, but I'm giving it different products.
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:08.240
So from here we're at square zero.
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.560
But you're using two primers, two separate ones.
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:11.439
Two separate ones, okay.
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:12.560
Yeah, but now we're at square zero.
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:14.160
Because I've kind of layered it.
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:18.959
So personally, for me, I will then go in with a color correct and concealer.
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:28.720
Concealer specifically is used to I don't like to say hide because I like makeup to improve, but it's two blemishes that you're you don't want to show as much.
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:28.879
Okay.
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:32.960
You're using the the concealer to conceal.
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:38.240
I have a lot of dark spots and redness, and my pimples tend to be red.
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:42.080
So I will go in with a green or dark red concealer to counteract.
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:50.960
I will then use most of the time I actually just kind of mix those two together because you can use them both to neutralize each other in the summer because I don't need that much product on my face.
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:55.600
But if I'm doing a full face, I'll then once that's like completely blended out, I let that sit.
00:08:55.759 --> 00:09:00.320
I will let that sit for if I have a hairdryer, I'll use that if I'm running low on time.
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:10.559
But for the most part, I'll let my base concealer where I'm color correcting sit for about a minute to let that product build up, and then I'll take a brush and I will pat that.
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:17.120
The goal is not to displace it, the goal is to pat that same amount of concealer into place and take off any excess.
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:17.360
Okay.
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:23.120
That's like not necessarily sticking to it because especially with color correcting, we're not trying to like change the color, we're just trying to neutralize it.
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:31.919
So then I will I personally do my makeup with a lot of and I'm more like I said, I'm not an artist, so I like to have a clean a makeup artist.
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:42.320
I like to have a clean base where I can wipe off my brush so that way I'm not like taking red, patting on my face, and I go to go to the green place and then like I'm putting red on it, the green.
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:43.759
So I like to wipe it off between steps.
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:49.919
I definitely for if you're ever finding yourself with your makeup is not laying correctly and you're like, why is that?
00:09:50.159 --> 00:10:02.799
Take a clean paper towel, a clean washcloth, and if you haven't had time to clean your makeup brushes recently, at least rub it on the towel, because that'll get all of the old makeup that's sitting on it, because it's not just the new makeup you're adding, it's your old stuff.
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:05.039
So if you have to haven't had time to clean your brushes.
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:06.320
This is the tangent.
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:06.799
Okay.
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:11.679
But how often should you be washing your brushes and how do you clean them?
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:13.360
So if you can store them.
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:18.799
Storing them I recommend upright with the bristles out so it can air, it can get the air through them.
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:19.120
Okay.
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:22.720
I don't recommend putting your makeup brushes in drawers or in like a bag and closing it.
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:27.679
Because like it's stuffing all of the any bacteria that was on there is now living on that brush.
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:29.360
It doesn't have anywhere to die.
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:32.000
It's you're kind of like putting it in the incubator.
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:32.399
Yeah.
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:33.200
Okay.
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:37.679
Um, as far as cleaning it, I personally I wear makeup every day.
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.200
I wear makeup every single day, and I use the brushes every single day.
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:45.360
The brushes that I personally use every single day, I clean twice a week.
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:46.639
Oh, every two weeks.
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:47.440
Every two weeks.
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:48.559
I clean every two weeks.
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:49.679
Twice a month.
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:58.399
The brushes that I pro that I use that like I'm only doing a full face, so I'll do it probably like once a month or twice a month, those I probably clean every other month.
00:10:58.559 --> 00:10:58.879
Okay.
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:11.360
And is that just hot water and if you're just trying to just get it done, dish soap, um, you can just use dish soap and water and then take it the brush on your hand.
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:12.720
And you can either use it on your hand.
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:18.480
I personally have like a little silicone thing, but like if you're trying to just like if you only have a couple brushes, take it on your hand and work the makeup out.
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:19.519
And it's similar to washing.
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:22.480
Yeah, well, so it's similar to washing your hair.
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:31.519
Once you put the conditioner, and you put the shampoo in, if you don't get a lot of suds, you're not supposed to add more shampoo, you're supposed to rinse it, and then put more shampoo on top of that, because then you're getting all the dirt off.
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:39.919
So once you're kind of like at the point where, like, oh, okay, well, it's not sudsing a lot, but I see a lot of color on my hand, wash it off, rinse the brush, then put more soap on.
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:40.159
Okay.
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:43.120
Then see what color that is, then do that a couple times.
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:48.799
That's my recommendation, just because then you can kind of actually see how clean it is, and you're not just like moving dirt back into the bristles.
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:49.120
Okay.
00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:53.120
So think about like washing your hair, because it is hair basically.
00:11:54.399 --> 00:12:02.960
So that's so you put the pigment on and then high conceal foundation.
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:06.000
So yeah, so you do the concealer, put the concealer on.
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:07.200
Um, next, yeah.
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:09.919
So my next step personally is foundation.
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:10.320
Okay.
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:15.039
Um, so I personally like a brush because I have like a fuller coverage.
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:20.000
So I will go in with a brush and then I just put a very thin layer on the back of my hand.
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:24.320
I also recommend if you realize I know some people put it the pump directly on their face.
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:26.960
I find that it's hard to control how much product you have.
00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:34.000
So then you're like right, and then you like have to move it all around your face, and like I personally put it on the back of your hand, and then you can dump the brush in it.
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:37.440
And then if you have excess, you can like kind of like tap it on the side of your hand and then face.
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:38.399
Again, similar to painting.
00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:39.519
Powder foundation?
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:41.120
I personally do liquid.
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:41.600
Okay.
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:45.840
Um, I just find it's easier again to control powder foundation.
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:49.200
I think some people setting powder is that I'm making it.
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:49.519
Something.
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:50.399
Nope, we're that's next.
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:51.279
Yep, we're gonna get there.
00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:51.679
Okay.
00:12:51.840 --> 00:13:00.639
Um, so so that's foundation, and then I personally don't put any product underneath my eyes directly until after my foundation is done.
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:02.080
Then I put concealer under my eyes.
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:02.399
Okay.
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:06.320
Reason being I already have naturally there's creases under your eyes.
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:09.200
The more product you have, the more product that can lay into it.
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:10.000
Okay.
00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:10.240
Right.
00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:16.720
That's happened to me before where I'm like, oh, I'm putting so much on and I look more tired because there's creases for my under there.
00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:19.519
Which and naturally I eyes crease, like it's normal.
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:27.759
I don't believe in like you don't get a crease, but you have less likely to crease if you're putting on like a small layer of your concealer, because your concealer is literally meant to conceal.
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:35.039
So if you're trying to get like a darker spot under your eye, putting your foundation on that, you're not it's probably gonna peek through anyway, then you have to add more concealer.
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:42.240
I personally just leave that, and you look kind of crazy in my opinion, but then once the concealer's on, you're like, oh my god, I'm so awake, and that's usually my favorite part.
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:44.159
Because I'm like, oh my gosh, we're on at the finish line.
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:48.399
So you don't have like creases of makeup on the and this is my personal preference.
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.080
Some people will then go in with a liquid uh bronzer.
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:55.679
I liquid bronzers, liquid blushes, that's not my bag.
00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:58.080
I like to keep it as simple as possible.
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:02.000
Like I like to be in the middle of what you were saying, like stage makeup and like just throwing a mascara.
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:12.480
I want it to look like I have makeup on my face because I think it's normal to look like you have makeup on your face when you have it, but I also, if you look at me fast, it's like, oh my gosh, she lick her skin, just move on.
00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:15.600
Like most people aren't staring at your face to recognize your makeup.
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:16.960
You don't have blush blindness.
00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:18.480
I try not to.
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:20.559
I also don't wear that much blush.
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:25.679
I have blush on today because Yeah, well, I barely put it on because I I put it where I burned.
00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:29.120
Because I was at the beach this weekend, so it burned on my face, so I put it where it did.
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:32.240
So it's like my I earned it, so I might as well show people it.
00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:38.159
Um so I put the concealer, so yeah, so I'll do the concealer, and then for me, that's where I stop at wet products.
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:40.399
Some people will go into that's not my bag.
00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:47.919
I can't instruct you on how to so like contour highlighter, you can I do touch it, but I do that as powder.
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:48.240
Okay.
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:51.440
So my so I go to a concealer.
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:54.720
So then we go to the next step that you said, setting powder.
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:55.120
Okay.
00:14:55.360 --> 00:15:06.320
So then I will set under my eyes with this loose setting powder, and this is basically because I'm this is liquid on my face, and again, there's greases and stuff to set where you we want that to stay in that spot.
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:08.159
That's what you're using the setting powder for.
00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:09.759
So I then put it down there.
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:14.320
I'll put it, I pack it under my eyes, and when I say pack it, it's like you put it on a page.
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:17.200
No, that's called baking.
00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:19.279
It's more of like I use like a denser brush.
00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:21.039
So we'll talk about brushes another day.
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:25.600
Okay, but like I use a denser brush to pat under my eye to concentrate where that is.
00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:30.399
The rest of my face, I use a really fluffy brush to set and then lightly go over.
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.360
Because I want under my eyes to look brighter because I think that makes me look more awake.
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:36.000
Because you can see, like, I you makeup can't fix everything.
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:41.600
I have really teary eyes, so you'll see like under my eyes here is really bright, but over here it's a little dark, it's just wiped off.
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:42.159
It's tears.
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:42.639
That's normal.
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:44.320
You're a human being, it's gonna look like that.
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:47.039
Um, but I want my under eyes to look as bright as possible.
00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:53.120
And then I go in with the setting powder, and then from here, this is where I go into contour and bronzer.
00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:59.600
I personally use the powders of it just because I think it lays nicer on my face than using a some people use liquid.
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:07.519
So bronzer is what you're using bronzer to emulate what happens when you the sun hits your face.
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:09.519
So have you gotten a lot of sun lately?
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:10.080
Yeah.
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:19.039
So for you personally, you have like the sun naturally, you're like a little bit tanner on your forehead and like the outer sides of your cheeks.
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:27.200
All you're trying to do is emphasize because if you just covered your skin, you want that natural sun to come through still, but you covered it with the makeup.
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:30.080
So you're trying to emulate where that already exists on your face.
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:34.720
So like top of forehead, some cheeks, and then jaw.
00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:35.440
Exactly.
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:35.759
Okay.
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:36.320
Exactly.
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:36.960
For your face.
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:38.720
That's but it's not contour.
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:39.440
It's not contour.
00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:46.159
Because contour, contour is you're building shadows on your face that aren't necessarily there.
00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:50.960
Accentuating the only con yes, I only contour when I'm doing like a full face.
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:53.519
Like when I'm like going out and I'm like going out at night.
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:55.519
My everyday makeup, I'm not contouring.
00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:58.480
Contouring is literally building in shadows on your face.
00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:01.440
So again, similar to like painting, you're gonna use a darker shade.
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:05.039
So for based off of what you would want, you'd want something that's a little cooler.
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:05.440
Okay.
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:12.640
Um, so the sh the bronzer is gonna be because you're trying to emulate sun, it's gonna be warmer, so it's gonna have like the redder undertones and a little brighter undertones.
00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:20.480
The contour is gonna have the cooler undertones, so that's gonna be more of like a pale brown, and then you're recreating the shape of your own face.
00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:25.599
I personally don't believe in like over-contouring to like create a shape face shape you don't have, but I like to accentuate it.
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:50.880
So for me personally, I contour right in here, and then I bring it in a little bit, and then I also I do like a all around my outside of my face right here, and then I go down into here because I have a little bit of a double chin, and so I find that instead of like doing like a harsh contour line like right here, to make it look more narrow, I'm pull I'm like almost recreating my chin.
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:55.279
So I'm like pulling it down here, and it's naturally this seems a little bit less obvious.
00:17:55.440 --> 00:18:03.680
So that's my contour, and then I contour the sides of my nose just to make them a little make it a little cute button, and then under my lip, because I like to make my lips a little more prominent.
00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:04.480
Oh, like right here.
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:05.039
Okay.
00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:06.880
I I bronze down here too.
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:07.279
Okay.
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:20.799
Usually if I am doing contour, I'll do that before bronzer because then when I do, because the contour is a little bit more of a precise brush, the bronzer, if I feel like it's a little too too precise, the bronzer brush is gonna break that up a little bit, so you're it's divers a lot of tiny bit.
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:31.039
Because you don't want each different brush to be from different products, are you cleaning every time you use it or how you I have different brushes, different brushes for everything?
00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:32.559
I have different brushes for each step.
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:37.200
Okay, and so but I do between steps, that's when I I have a towel down this whole time.
00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:41.279
Between steps, and this is maybe excessive, I wipe off my brushes.
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:44.559
So, like if I've just otherwise you're keeping everything clean.
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:48.559
I personally think that everything should be seamless.
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:56.400
So my last step is not necessarily a step that everybody does, but I take a very fluffy brush that is usually the bristles stay white.
00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:56.960
That's the point.
00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:00.720
I wipe it off so much between like it came white, I make sure it stays white.
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:01.039
Yeah.
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:03.920
And I wipe that off, and then I go over my face.
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:18.000
If I laid everything well enough and blended it as I went, I then go in and wipe my entire face with that brush because it takes the harsh lines away and it makes it more of like a seamless face, and then I go in with a setting spray.
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:29.920
A setting spray and the brush is just a clear it's just a clean brush, don't have any product on it, and it's just to buff out my edges and blend it to because a lot of I've gotten people to say, like, oh my god, are you wearing makeup?
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:32.640
And I'm like, I yeah, spent a lot of time on this.
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:37.200
It's because instead of it looking like oh you have a contour line, I need a bron bronzer line, I need a blush line.
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:40.000
It's yeah, okay, and then I love to go into a fake sparkle.
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:41.599
I love a Lexi tip.
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:44.559
Yes, but yeah, that's my makeup.
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:47.519
Do you feel like if you with that you could did you have any questions?
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:49.359
Yeah, that that was very helpful.
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:58.960
I feel like, especially with the brushes and understanding like I've bought setting powder, but I've never used it because I'm like, I don't know how to use it.
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:02.160
Um so I feel like now I can experiment a little more.
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:20.160
And with I think that's one thing that I felt self-conscious about if I do want to do foundation and blush for a regular day out in the town, is like um blending it in with a lash brush in the end because I like I don't mind having those really sharp lines, but I'm like I'm just like hanging out with people.
00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:21.839
I don't want I don't need to have that look.
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:22.400
Yeah.
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:23.680
Um yeah.
00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:26.720
So and I'll send you what that brush looks like because it literally is genuine.
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:29.519
I think it's like an X it cosmetics, like giant fluffy brush.
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:33.440
They ha they call it like a powder foundation brush, but it's super wide.
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:38.400
So the denser the brush, the tighter the bristles, the more concentrated the product will be.
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:38.720
Okay.
00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:40.079
Similar to a paintbrush.
00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:45.599
Um, and so the less dense of the brush, that's I use a very it's like very open, not dense at all.
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:50.559
So I'm not trying to like break that up and like disturb it all, but I want it to look like one police of face.
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:51.359
Okay.
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:53.759
Okay, last random question.
00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:54.960
Okay, I'm ready.
00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:57.680
I think this can be our like bottom slice.
00:20:58.079 --> 00:20:59.759
Okay, okay, wrapping her up.
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.599
What is your favorite animal and when was the last time you saw your favorite animal?
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:03.920
Okay.
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:06.079
Not about makeup, got it.
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:08.240
Alright, real tangent.
00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:08.799
Real tangent.
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:09.279
All the way, okay.
00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:09.839
Tangent.
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:11.039
Um, long tangent.
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:12.079
Uh, giraffes.
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:12.720
Easy.
00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:13.279
Done.
00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:19.440
And I actually may or may not have recently fed a giraffe in like the last couple weeks.
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:20.799
Oh, that's so cute.
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:22.160
Yeah, I love a giraffe.
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:23.200
Yeah, so fun.
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:24.079
I love a giraffe.
00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:25.359
What's your favorite animal?
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:26.960
My favorite animal?
00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:29.440
Wait, I did also just see giraffes.
00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:31.279
When did you see wait, you saw the wrap?

00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:40.799
Um, two weeks ago.
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:41.759
Are you kidding?
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:46.160
Okay.
00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:49.519
That's did we see drafts on the same weekend?
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:51.519
Okay.
00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:52.319

I can't wait to show you the video.
00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:02.160
Did you have fun at the zoo?
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:03.119
I had a lot of fun.
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:05.119
Did you see your favorite animal at the zoo?
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:06.880

00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:08.480
I did.
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:10.000
I saw my favorite animal at the zoo.
00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:14.720
Not my favorite, I mean, I have a lot of favorites, and that's a basic answer.
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:21.759
But I do love a tiger, and that does make me a year of the tiger Leo kind of deal.
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:22.799
Of course.
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:31.440
But um the tiger was hanging out, and he like walked up right to the glass and walked by, and I was like, I was so honored.
00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:35.119
It was so And also another time he was hanging out.
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:39.680
Um, there was like these cage walkways, and he was just like taking a nap.
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:41.359
Ugh, the bus.
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:42.720

So adorable seeing them like swing around and just be the cutest little creatures.
00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:57.359
Oh, that's great.

Animal fells.
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:00.880
A bridge.
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:03.359
What a crazy time.
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:04.319
What a crazy time.
00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:06.079
Well, I missed you.
00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:08.079
And I missed you too.
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:10.000
Do you see how long I don't wait for that?
00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:10.799
That's crazy.
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:12.000
But I did miss the buffer.
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:13.759
I'm going here under the bus.
00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:14.319
What's crazy?
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:18.400
And I literally said some of us have a buffer reaction to things.
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:22.559
What's crazy is we literally spent the last three hours together.
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:23.119
Literally.
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:24.240
Yes, that is true.
00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:25.920
So really she had no need.
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:27.279
I had no need to do that to her.
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:27.759
No.
00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:30.319
Um, but and I do love dolphins.
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:37.279
Dolphins! I regret my dolphin um rant last time.
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:38.640
Yeah.
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:40.880
You didn't even call me out on that.
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:42.799
Well, because I was I was in listening mode.
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:49.039
I wasn't gonna be interjected also saying that I'm wrong.
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:51.440
I'm really not good at confrontation, as you can tell.
00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:52.880
She should have told me I was wrong.
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:53.920
I'm allowed to be wrong.
00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:54.559
But that's okay.
00:23:54.799 --> 00:23:55.279
You're not wrong.
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:58.400
I know, I know, but I feel bad that they're your favorite animal.
00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:00.000
It's not my favorite animal.
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:02.400
One of my favorite I have a lot of favorite animals.
00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:04.559
We love a multifaceted queen.
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:06.799
Yeah, or just an indecisive one.
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:08.720
I like multifaceted.
00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:08.960
Yeah.
00:24:09.119 --> 00:24:11.680
Multifaceted, multi-dimensional.
00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:13.599
Yeah.
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:14.319
Love.
00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:14.799
Love.
00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:16.000
Well, I missed you guys as well.
00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:16.960
I missed the pod.
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:18.559
This is our little teeny.
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:19.440
We are back.
00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:20.720

00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:21.279
Mm-hmm.
00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:23.359
And did you like that?
00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:23.920
Yeah.
00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:25.279
Did you like the BLT?
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:26.799
She has all the great ideas.
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:28.000
And I do too.
00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:28.799
Just another literally.
00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:31.680
I'm going to do her idea of an episode because she's brilliant.
00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:32.160
So.
00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:33.680
Any hoodles.
00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:36.000
And it was for selfish reasons.
00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:37.279
Now I can do my makeup.
00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:39.119
For all of you.
00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:40.400
No.

00:24:43.920 --> 00:24:44.079
Next.
00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:45.200
We'll do next next time.
00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:52.559
I I feel like getting my makeup done is fun, but if you're watching me do my makeup, then it would be the most helpful for me.
00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:53.279
Okay, perfect.
00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:53.519
Yeah.
00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:55.200
We'll do give a man a fish.
00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:55.839
Yeah.
00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:58.480
And teach a woman how to use a blending brush.
00:24:58.720 --> 00:24:58.880
Yeah.
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:00.559
She'll contour for the rest of her life.
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:02.240
I also want to learn how to fish properly.
00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:03.599
Just put it out there.

Some good tuna?
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:09.200
Fresh tuna?
00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:09.599
Ugh.
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:12.400
Some sea bass.
00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:14.319
Rainbow bass.
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:15.599
Try out.
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:19.279
Should I do like river fishing for fly fishing?
00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:21.039
I'd love.
00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:23.519
You know what I'd want to do is interview a fly fisherman.
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:25.039
And just like, how did you get into it?
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:25.599
Yeah.
00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:26.799
Let's just imagine.
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:33.519
If you are a fly fisherman and you would like to be on the BLT podcast, you can take the place of our little mascot.

No, actually, you're gonna have to this is the new hat for the guest.

Okay, great, amazing.
00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:46.720

Are we every other week?
00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:57.359
Are we announcing that?
00:25:57.519 --> 00:25:58.400
Oh yes.
00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:00.640

00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:34.240
And small scheduling note we will now be going to every other week, mostly from you guys telling us you haven't caught up.
00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:38.400
So yeah, we like when you guys tell us exactly what we're doing slow down.
00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:40.079
Yeah, I will happily slow down.
00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:41.599
Yeah, we will absolutely happily slow down.
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:45.519
It's not like we either one of us are going through any major life, career, or personal changes.
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:51.519
So we have all the time in the world to do a podcast, but we will be we will be doing this week uh every other week.
00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:53.359
So we will see you guys in two weeks.
00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:54.640
We did miss you guys.
00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:56.880
We cannot wait until next time.
00:26:57.519 --> 00:27:03.039
And next time will be uh beefy next time Sammy.
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:06.000
We've been teasing this Sammy for a long time.
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:09.359
The typography football, right?
00:27:09.680 --> 00:27:09.759
What?
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:11.359
Typography, okay.
00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:14.000
Next time we got a beefy sandwich for you.
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:14.960
Beefy sandwich.
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:17.440
I'm gonna be talking about all things typography.
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:20.640
I'm gonna be getting us ready for the NFL football season.
00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:26.960
Woo! We've been teasing this episode since the very first one, and it'll be coming out the week before the first week of the football.
00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:32.160
I may or may not have forced her to watch football recently during the preseason.
00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:35.599
I may or may not have already asked why is this game important.
00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:44.960
And I may or may not have said it doesn't matter, except for we are rooting for every single we are rooting for every single person that is trying to get a spot on the roster.
00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:46.000
And who did I show you?
00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:46.400
Yes.
00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:49.519
I I now have a I am rooting for him.
00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:50.079
Yes.
00:27:50.319 --> 00:27:51.359
He's a great man.
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:52.799
Uma from the Eagles.
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:54.160
I don't know if that's his first name.
00:27:54.319 --> 00:28:02.240
The player from the Eagles from Nigeria who played his very first NFL game, and he learned football in May, and we're very proud of him.
00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:03.119
We decided.
00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:08.079
And now teach her exactly why she will be an even bigger fan.
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:15.920
And you're gonna be a fan of typography because it's the coolest thing ever, in my opinion, and it's the foundation of so many ways of communication.
00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:19.200
And I'm working on my pitch, but it's gonna be great.
00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:28.880
Um and as always, I hope you enjoyed our sandwich with us.
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:31.359
You're stuck with it.
00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:32.079
I don't care.
00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:34.720
Goodbye! See you later.
00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:05.200
Welcome to the BLT podcast.
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:17.039
Big time.
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:18.000
Sammy.
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:20.800
We've been teasing the Sammy for a long time.
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:22.960
Welcome to the BLT Podcast.
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:23.839
I'm Lucas.
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:24.800
And I'm Lexi.
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:27.679
And we're spilling the tea today in a special way.
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:29.760
My little teeny episode.
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:30.399
Yes.
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:37.759
On makeup, because Lexi is a pro and I want to be educated on all things makeup.
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:45.119
And again, as a reminder, if you are new to the pod, when we say the other one is a pro, it means they know more than we do.
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:47.759
That does not mean more than everybody.
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:52.640
No, it means I know more about makeup than she does, and that's specifically it.
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:54.399
I am not a pro makeup artist.
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:56.159
I have an affinity for makeup.
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:56.479
Yeah.
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:57.520
Just want to be specific.
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:01.439
So if any pro makeup artists have any comments on what I have to say, please share them.
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:02.719
Come sit on the couch.
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:07.280
Because we would love to ask you questions so I can get better and she can have a great starting place.
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:08.640
Exactly.
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:13.599
I also want to address the elephant in the room that we do have a guest today.
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:16.640
Our new member of the team.
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.519
I don't know what we're calling him or her.
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:20.959
Yeah, we haven't named her yet.
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:21.519
Him or her.
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:23.200
There, non-binary.
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:24.239
It's a sandwich.
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:27.760
It's our sandwich.
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:32.480
Um but I'm very excited to have the BLT on the team.
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:33.120
Yes.
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:34.799
So a little mascot.
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:35.840
A little mascot.
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:36.319
Love.
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:37.920
So we are tackling makeup today.
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:38.799
Yes.
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:40.959
Where where do you want to start?
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:42.480
Yeah, where are we starting?
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:46.239
I I'll tell you what I know about makeup and then we'll go from there.
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:55.840
I think the biggest thing for me is the layers and how much time things take, and also what is used for what.
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:56.319
Right.
00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:02.560
Because oftentimes I see one video, maybe ten, and I'm like, I need to buy this product.
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:08.560
And then I get it and I'm like, I could watch tutorials on how to do this, but I don't do that.
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:11.840
And then I'm confused and sad that I spent money on something I don't use.
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:19.680
And also, if I'm wanting to have a makeup look look a certain way, and I don't know how to get there, then I get really frustrated.
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.719
I do know, I feel like I know the two extremes.
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:34.479
I know how to do like feater makeup just to like know that my features are accentuated for the stage, and I know how to like put mascara on and just like have a little extra something special.
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:42.719
And I've dabbled in trying to understand contour and bronzer, but that's when lines are blurred because I'm like, where does blush go?
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:44.560
How do you find blush?
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:49.599
The bronzer is not contour, it's not highlighter, it's not concealer.
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:50.080
Okay.
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:50.800
Oh my gosh!
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:52.000
Okay, so okay, okay.
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:59.039
Maybe you start with the layers of like do you wash your face and then moisturize and do SPF and then primer?
00:02:59.520 --> 00:02:59.759
Correct.
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:00.479
Toner?
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:01.120
Correct.
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:05.280
So I I will like to say that makeup is very subjective.
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:08.159
It's based off of really what works best with your skin, so that's really important.
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:15.439
So I'm gonna go walk through kind of mine and how I've how I apply makeup, okay, what and what each step is for.
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:26.479
And I some people hate the answer that makeup is really gonna be different based off of your face, but it's the same way that everything is kind of gonna be based off of the eye the beholder, but like a general rule.
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:28.080
We'll go over the general rules.
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:48.479
My personal skincare before is I if it's morning, I'll do like a nice like oil cleanser, and then I'll put on I do a milky toner, a hydrating milky toner, which is a toner, but it's like it's obviously it's a name hydrating milky toner, so it's instead of being like a clear toner, it's when you see like it's labeled toner and it's white.
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:50.000
Okay, and it's a little bit thicker.
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:51.840
How would you describe toner?
00:03:51.919 --> 00:04:00.719
Is toner toner kind of like smooths out your skin and it gets a little bit, I don't want to say deeper than moisturizer because I'm not necessarily like I don't know the science behind her.
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:06.719
Besides it tones, and that's when we need a professional style.
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:12.240
We need a scientist, but I wouldn't understand the science because you can you make like I've heard of rice toners.
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:13.599
I would not recommend that.
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:14.960
I did do that for my skin.
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.360
Oh if it's professionally made, yes.
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.240
Don't do what I did, which was in 2021.
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:46.560
See a girl who cleared her skin with a rice, I think she did like a rice toner and and she like did a rice face mask, and like you basically make it yourself with like water and rice, which is probably great, but unless you have like a chef style, sterile kitchen, which most people probably don't, no matter how hard you try, unless you are like actually sterilizing the stuff, you have to think about you're put usually you're making it in like a bowl that you've usually made food in.
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:53.120
Unless you're specifically and you've washed your hands 16 million times, you're just kind of inviting bacteria into what you're then gonna put on your skin.
00:04:53.439 --> 00:05:04.240
So my personal rule is don't, and this is hard fought learned rule, don't force like don't home make your your skincare.
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:04.560
Okay.
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:14.079
And skincare is definitely not my I skincare is not my I feel like I could talk a little bit about skincare, but maybe another time, maybe another time mini episode.
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:14.959
Yeah, absolutely.
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.920
Actually, I would love to dig into skincare with you, especially if you have that details.
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:29.199
Because like truly makeup is like where my thank you.
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:32.319
Um I definitely would love to.
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:44.319
There were no second guess, we're just like Yeah, well, if we're gonna harmonize, uh we should have harmonized.
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:47.439
Um, okay.
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.480
Makeup is my specialty specifically.
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:53.680
Makeup can be silly goopy.
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:57.360
Yes, makeup can be silly goopy, but I'm not gonna be able to get into the specifics of skincare.
00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:59.040
I that's kind of my bond spot.
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:01.680
The reason I wear makeup is because my skin isn't the clearest.
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:05.279
Um and I use makeup, I I want to take care of my skin, so I do.
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:06.720
I try my best to.
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:10.879
Um, but in the event where it doesn't work, that's where I use makeup.
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:11.839
So I kind of lean in there.
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:16.399
So my skincare ahead of time is I'll use a hydrating milky toner and then I put a moisturizer on.
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:20.000
Um, most of my products that I have have SP I SPF in them.
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:22.079
I will sometimes put any SPF on.
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:25.199
I'm again not a skincare person.
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:29.439
I SPF is um gets in my eyes.
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.879
It like no matter what I do, a face SPF gets in my eyes.
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:34.319
I've tried about 15.
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:38.800
Um, and no matter what happens, because of I'm so oily or if I'm sweating.
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:46.160
So I try to be better about it, but I've just kind of gravitated now more towards like products that have SPF in them, so I'm still protecting my skin.
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.519
Um, so that's more so kind of where I land.
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:54.720
But as far as like a traditional sonauer starting makeup, I'm just gonna like start on the basics.
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:55.360
So primer.
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:59.040
Primer is gonna be based off of actually let me start even smaller.
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:00.959
Most important thing about your makeup.
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:12.639
So if you ever get to the end of your makeup and you're like, I've seen I got this product and this product and this product, and they should worked really well on their own, but for some reason it's like lifting or it's peeling, or like it feels like splotchy, separating on your skin.
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:23.680
What's really important is looking at the ingredients on the back of your makeup because you're either going to have one ingredient be the first one, which is water, or it's gonna be a silicone.
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:28.800
Silicone and water are not gonna lay nicely on top of each other.
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:39.600
So if you are going to try new products, make sure if you're starting, so if you start with a silicone primer, but you put a water foundation on top of it, that's when it's gonna start to separate.
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:43.920
So if the first and it's literally the first ingredient, it's on everything of makeup.
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:45.040
That's my recommendation.
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:49.759
That's where most people, if you can kind of start really small there, totally recommend that.
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:53.839
So primer, you're gonna use that if depending on your skin type.
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:55.839
Start with the primer, it's gonna be based off of what you're looking for.
00:07:55.920 --> 00:08:00.160
Okay, so that's just like kind of to give your skin a same base.
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:06.319
So what I'm basically doing is I'm putting primer here and primer here that's gonna make all of the skin act the same, but I'm giving it different products.
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:08.240
So from here we're at square zero.
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.560
But you're using two primers, two separate ones.
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:11.439
Two separate ones, okay.
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:12.560
Yeah, but now we're at square zero.
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:14.160
Because I've kind of layered it.
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:18.959
So personally, for me, I will then go in with a color correct and concealer.
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:28.720
Concealer specifically is used to I don't like to say hide because I like makeup to improve, but it's two blemishes that you're you don't want to show as much.
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:28.879
Okay.
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:32.960
You're using the the concealer to conceal.
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:38.240
I have a lot of dark spots and redness, and my pimples tend to be red.
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:42.080
So I will go in with a green or dark red concealer to counteract.
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:50.960
I will then use most of the time I actually just kind of mix those two together because you can use them both to neutralize each other in the summer because I don't need that much product on my face.
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:55.600
But if I'm doing a full face, I'll then once that's like completely blended out, I let that sit.
00:08:55.759 --> 00:09:00.320
I will let that sit for if I have a hairdryer, I'll use that if I'm running low on time.
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:10.559
But for the most part, I'll let my base concealer where I'm color correcting sit for about a minute to let that product build up, and then I'll take a brush and I will pat that.
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:17.120
The goal is not to displace it, the goal is to pat that same amount of concealer into place and take off any excess.
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:17.360
Okay.
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:23.120
That's like not necessarily sticking to it because especially with color correcting, we're not trying to like change the color, we're just trying to neutralize it.
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:31.919
So then I will I personally do my makeup with a lot of and I'm more like I said, I'm not an artist, so I like to have a clean a makeup artist.
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:42.320
I like to have a clean base where I can wipe off my brush so that way I'm not like taking red, patting on my face, and I go to go to the green place and then like I'm putting red on it, the green.
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:43.759
So I like to wipe it off between steps.
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:49.919
I definitely for if you're ever finding yourself with your makeup is not laying correctly and you're like, why is that?
00:09:50.159 --> 00:10:02.799
Take a clean paper towel, a clean washcloth, and if you haven't had time to clean your makeup brushes recently, at least rub it on the towel, because that'll get all of the old makeup that's sitting on it, because it's not just the new makeup you're adding, it's your old stuff.
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:05.039
So if you have to haven't had time to clean your brushes.
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:06.320
This is the tangent.
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:06.799
Okay.
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:11.679
But how often should you be washing your brushes and how do you clean them?
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:13.360
So if you can store them.
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:18.799
Storing them I recommend upright with the bristles out so it can air, it can get the air through them.
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:19.120
Okay.
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:22.720
I don't recommend putting your makeup brushes in drawers or in like a bag and closing it.
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:27.679
Because like it's stuffing all of the any bacteria that was on there is now living on that brush.
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:29.360
It doesn't have anywhere to die.
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:32.000
It's you're kind of like putting it in the incubator.
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:32.399
Yeah.
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:33.200
Okay.
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:37.679
Um, as far as cleaning it, I personally I wear makeup every day.
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.200
I wear makeup every single day, and I use the brushes every single day.
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:45.360
The brushes that I personally use every single day, I clean twice a week.
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:46.639
Oh, every two weeks.
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:47.440
Every two weeks.
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:48.559
I clean every two weeks.
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:49.679
Twice a month.
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:58.399
The brushes that I pro that I use that like I'm only doing a full face, so I'll do it probably like once a month or twice a month, those I probably clean every other month.
00:10:58.559 --> 00:10:58.879
Okay.
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:11.360
And is that just hot water and if you're just trying to just get it done, dish soap, um, you can just use dish soap and water and then take it the brush on your hand.
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:12.720
And you can either use it on your hand.
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:18.480
I personally have like a little silicone thing, but like if you're trying to just like if you only have a couple brushes, take it on your hand and work the makeup out.
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:19.519
And it's similar to washing.
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:22.480
Yeah, well, so it's similar to washing your hair.
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:31.519
Once you put the conditioner, and you put the shampoo in, if you don't get a lot of suds, you're not supposed to add more shampoo, you're supposed to rinse it, and then put more shampoo on top of that, because then you're getting all the dirt off.
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:39.919
So once you're kind of like at the point where, like, oh, okay, well, it's not sudsing a lot, but I see a lot of color on my hand, wash it off, rinse the brush, then put more soap on.
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:40.159
Okay.
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:43.120
Then see what color that is, then do that a couple times.
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:48.799
That's my recommendation, just because then you can kind of actually see how clean it is, and you're not just like moving dirt back into the bristles.
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:49.120
Okay.
00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:53.120
So think about like washing your hair, because it is hair basically.
00:11:54.399 --> 00:12:02.960
So that's so you put the pigment on and then high conceal foundation.
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:06.000
So yeah, so you do the concealer, put the concealer on.
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:07.200
Um, next, yeah.
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:09.919
So my next step personally is foundation.
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:10.320
Okay.
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:15.039
Um, so I personally like a brush because I have like a fuller coverage.
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:20.000
So I will go in with a brush and then I just put a very thin layer on the back of my hand.
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:24.320
I also recommend if you realize I know some people put it the pump directly on their face.
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:26.960
I find that it's hard to control how much product you have.
00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:34.000
So then you're like right, and then you like have to move it all around your face, and like I personally put it on the back of your hand, and then you can dump the brush in it.
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:37.440
And then if you have excess, you can like kind of like tap it on the side of your hand and then face.
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:38.399
Again, similar to painting.
00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:39.519
Powder foundation?
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:41.120
I personally do liquid.
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:41.600
Okay.
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:45.840
Um, I just find it's easier again to control powder foundation.
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:49.200
I think some people setting powder is that I'm making it.
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:49.519
Something.
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:50.399
Nope, we're that's next.
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:51.279
Yep, we're gonna get there.
00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:51.679
Okay.
00:12:51.840 --> 00:13:00.639
Um, so so that's foundation, and then I personally don't put any product underneath my eyes directly until after my foundation is done.
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:02.080
Then I put concealer under my eyes.
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:02.399
Okay.
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:06.320
Reason being I already have naturally there's creases under your eyes.
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:09.200
The more product you have, the more product that can lay into it.
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:10.000
Okay.
00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:10.240
Right.
00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:16.720
That's happened to me before where I'm like, oh, I'm putting so much on and I look more tired because there's creases for my under there.
00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:19.519
Which and naturally I eyes crease, like it's normal.
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:27.759
I don't believe in like you don't get a crease, but you have less likely to crease if you're putting on like a small layer of your concealer, because your concealer is literally meant to conceal.
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:35.039
So if you're trying to get like a darker spot under your eye, putting your foundation on that, you're not it's probably gonna peek through anyway, then you have to add more concealer.
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:42.240
I personally just leave that, and you look kind of crazy in my opinion, but then once the concealer's on, you're like, oh my god, I'm so awake, and that's usually my favorite part.
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:44.159
Because I'm like, oh my gosh, we're on at the finish line.
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:48.399
So you don't have like creases of makeup on the and this is my personal preference.
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.080
Some people will then go in with a liquid uh bronzer.
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:55.679
I liquid bronzers, liquid blushes, that's not my bag.
00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:58.080
I like to keep it as simple as possible.
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:02.000
Like I like to be in the middle of what you were saying, like stage makeup and like just throwing a mascara.
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:12.480
I want it to look like I have makeup on my face because I think it's normal to look like you have makeup on your face when you have it, but I also, if you look at me fast, it's like, oh my gosh, she lick her skin, just move on.
00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:15.600
Like most people aren't staring at your face to recognize your makeup.
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:16.960
You don't have blush blindness.
00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:18.480
I try not to.
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:20.559
I also don't wear that much blush.
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:25.679
I have blush on today because Yeah, well, I barely put it on because I I put it where I burned.
00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:29.120
Because I was at the beach this weekend, so it burned on my face, so I put it where it did.
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:32.240
So it's like my I earned it, so I might as well show people it.
00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:38.159
Um so I put the concealer, so yeah, so I'll do the concealer, and then for me, that's where I stop at wet products.
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:40.399
Some people will go into that's not my bag.
00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:47.919
I can't instruct you on how to so like contour highlighter, you can I do touch it, but I do that as powder.
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:48.240
Okay.
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:51.440
So my so I go to a concealer.
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:54.720
So then we go to the next step that you said, setting powder.
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:55.120
Okay.
00:14:55.360 --> 00:15:06.320
So then I will set under my eyes with this loose setting powder, and this is basically because I'm this is liquid on my face, and again, there's greases and stuff to set where you we want that to stay in that spot.
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:08.159
That's what you're using the setting powder for.
00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:09.759
So I then put it down there.
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:14.320
I'll put it, I pack it under my eyes, and when I say pack it, it's like you put it on a page.
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:17.200
No, that's called baking.
00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:19.279
It's more of like I use like a denser brush.
00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:21.039
So we'll talk about brushes another day.
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:25.600
Okay, but like I use a denser brush to pat under my eye to concentrate where that is.
00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:30.399
The rest of my face, I use a really fluffy brush to set and then lightly go over.
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.360
Because I want under my eyes to look brighter because I think that makes me look more awake.
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:36.000
Because you can see, like, I you makeup can't fix everything.
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:41.600
I have really teary eyes, so you'll see like under my eyes here is really bright, but over here it's a little dark, it's just wiped off.
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:42.159
It's tears.
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:42.639
That's normal.
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:44.320
You're a human being, it's gonna look like that.
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:47.039
Um, but I want my under eyes to look as bright as possible.
00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:53.120
And then I go in with the setting powder, and then from here, this is where I go into contour and bronzer.
00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:59.600
I personally use the powders of it just because I think it lays nicer on my face than using a some people use liquid.
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:07.519
So bronzer is what you're using bronzer to emulate what happens when you the sun hits your face.
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:09.519
So have you gotten a lot of sun lately?
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:10.080
Yeah.
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:19.039
So for you personally, you have like the sun naturally, you're like a little bit tanner on your forehead and like the outer sides of your cheeks.
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:27.200
All you're trying to do is emphasize because if you just covered your skin, you want that natural sun to come through still, but you covered it with the makeup.
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:30.080
So you're trying to emulate where that already exists on your face.
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:34.720
So like top of forehead, some cheeks, and then jaw.
00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:35.440
Exactly.
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:35.759
Okay.
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:36.320
Exactly.
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:36.960
For your face.
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:38.720
That's but it's not contour.
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:39.440
It's not contour.
00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:46.159
Because contour, contour is you're building shadows on your face that aren't necessarily there.
00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:50.960
Accentuating the only con yes, I only contour when I'm doing like a full face.
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:53.519
Like when I'm like going out and I'm like going out at night.
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:55.519
My everyday makeup, I'm not contouring.
00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:58.480
Contouring is literally building in shadows on your face.
00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:01.440
So again, similar to like painting, you're gonna use a darker shade.
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:05.039
So for based off of what you would want, you'd want something that's a little cooler.
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:05.440
Okay.
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:12.640
Um, so the sh the bronzer is gonna be because you're trying to emulate sun, it's gonna be warmer, so it's gonna have like the redder undertones and a little brighter undertones.
00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:20.480
The contour is gonna have the cooler undertones, so that's gonna be more of like a pale brown, and then you're recreating the shape of your own face.
00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:25.599
I personally don't believe in like over-contouring to like create a shape face shape you don't have, but I like to accentuate it.
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:50.880
So for me personally, I contour right in here, and then I bring it in a little bit, and then I also I do like a all around my outside of my face right here, and then I go down into here because I have a little bit of a double chin, and so I find that instead of like doing like a harsh contour line like right here, to make it look more narrow, I'm pull I'm like almost recreating my chin.
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:55.279
So I'm like pulling it down here, and it's naturally this seems a little bit less obvious.
00:17:55.440 --> 00:18:03.680
So that's my contour, and then I contour the sides of my nose just to make them a little make it a little cute button, and then under my lip, because I like to make my lips a little more prominent.
00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:04.480
Oh, like right here.
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:05.039
Okay.
00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:06.880
I I bronze down here too.
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:07.279
Okay.
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:20.799
Usually if I am doing contour, I'll do that before bronzer because then when I do, because the contour is a little bit more of a precise brush, the bronzer, if I feel like it's a little too too precise, the bronzer brush is gonna break that up a little bit, so you're it's divers a lot of tiny bit.
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:31.039
Because you don't want each different brush to be from different products, are you cleaning every time you use it or how you I have different brushes, different brushes for everything?
00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:32.559
I have different brushes for each step.
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:37.200
Okay, and so but I do between steps, that's when I I have a towel down this whole time.
00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:41.279
Between steps, and this is maybe excessive, I wipe off my brushes.
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:44.559
So, like if I've just otherwise you're keeping everything clean.
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:48.559
I personally think that everything should be seamless.
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:56.400
So my last step is not necessarily a step that everybody does, but I take a very fluffy brush that is usually the bristles stay white.
00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:56.960
That's the point.
00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:00.720
I wipe it off so much between like it came white, I make sure it stays white.
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:01.039
Yeah.
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:03.920
And I wipe that off, and then I go over my face.
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:18.000
If I laid everything well enough and blended it as I went, I then go in and wipe my entire face with that brush because it takes the harsh lines away and it makes it more of like a seamless face, and then I go in with a setting spray.
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:29.920
A setting spray and the brush is just a clear it's just a clean brush, don't have any product on it, and it's just to buff out my edges and blend it to because a lot of I've gotten people to say, like, oh my god, are you wearing makeup?
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:32.640
And I'm like, I yeah, spent a lot of time on this.
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:37.200
It's because instead of it looking like oh you have a contour line, I need a bron bronzer line, I need a blush line.
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:40.000
It's yeah, okay, and then I love to go into a fake sparkle.
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:41.599
I love a Lexi tip.
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:44.559
Yes, but yeah, that's my makeup.
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:47.519
Do you feel like if you with that you could did you have any questions?
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:49.359
Yeah, that that was very helpful.
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:58.960
I feel like, especially with the brushes and understanding like I've bought setting powder, but I've never used it because I'm like, I don't know how to use it.
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:02.160
Um so I feel like now I can experiment a little more.
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:20.160
And with I think that's one thing that I felt self-conscious about if I do want to do foundation and blush for a regular day out in the town, is like um blending it in with a lash brush in the end because I like I don't mind having those really sharp lines, but I'm like I'm just like hanging out with people.
00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:21.839
I don't want I don't need to have that look.
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:22.400
Yeah.
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:23.680
Um yeah.
00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:26.720
So and I'll send you what that brush looks like because it literally is genuine.
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:29.519
I think it's like an X it cosmetics, like giant fluffy brush.
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:33.440
They ha they call it like a powder foundation brush, but it's super wide.
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:38.400
So the denser the brush, the tighter the bristles, the more concentrated the product will be.
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:38.720
Okay.
00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:40.079
Similar to a paintbrush.
00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:45.599
Um, and so the less dense of the brush, that's I use a very it's like very open, not dense at all.
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:50.559
So I'm not trying to like break that up and like disturb it all, but I want it to look like one police of face.
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:51.359
Okay.
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:53.759
Okay, last random question.
00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:54.960
Okay, I'm ready.
00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:57.680
I think this can be our like bottom slice.
00:20:58.079 --> 00:20:59.759
Okay, okay, wrapping her up.
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.599
What is your favorite animal and when was the last time you saw your favorite animal?
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:03.920
Okay.
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:06.079
Not about makeup, got it.
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:08.240
Alright, real tangent.
00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:08.799
Real tangent.
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:09.279
All the way, okay.
00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:09.839
Tangent.
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:11.039
Um, long tangent.
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:12.079
Uh, giraffes.
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:12.720
Easy.
00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:13.279
Done.
00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:19.440
And I actually may or may not have recently fed a giraffe in like the last couple weeks.
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:20.799
Oh, that's so cute.
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:22.160
Yeah, I love a giraffe.
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:23.200
Yeah, so fun.
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:24.079
I love a giraffe.
00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:25.359
What's your favorite animal?
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:26.960
My favorite animal?
00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:29.440
Wait, I did also just see giraffes.
00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:31.279
When did you see wait, you saw the wrap?
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:35.680
A while not a while ago.
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:37.920
Like how many weeks ago from now, do you think?
00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:40.799
Um, two weeks ago.
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:41.759
Are you kidding?
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:46.160
Okay.
00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:49.519
That's did we see drafts on the same weekend?
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:51.519
Okay.
00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:52.319
Okay, well.
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:52.880
Okay.
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:54.079
Okay, we want to be.
00:21:54.400 --> 00:21:56.640
We love we love uh living parallel lives.
00:21:58.240 --> 00:21:59.200
I love drafts.
00:21:59.279 --> 00:21:59.759
It was so cool.
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:00.799
I can't wait to show you the video.
00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:02.160
Did you have fun at the zoo?
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:03.119
I had a lot of fun.
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:05.119
Did you see your favorite animal at the zoo?
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:06.880
I did.
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:08.480
I did.
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:10.000
I saw my favorite animal at the zoo.
00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:14.720
Not my favorite, I mean, I have a lot of favorites, and that's a basic answer.
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:21.759

00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:22.799
Of course.
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:31.440
But um the tiger was hanging out, and he like walked up right to the glass and walked by, and I was like, I was so honored.
00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:35.119
It was so And also another time he was hanging out.
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:39.680
Um, there was like these cage walkways, and he was just like taking a nap.
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:41.359
Ugh, the bus.
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:42.720

So adorable seeing them like swing around and just be the cutest little creatures.
00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:57.359
Oh, that's great.

Animal fells.
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:00.880
A bridge.
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:03.359
What a crazy time.
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:04.319
What a crazy time.
00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:06.079
Well, I missed you.
00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:08.079
And I missed you too.
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:10.000
Do you see how long I don't wait for that?
00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:10.799
That's crazy.
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:12.000
But I did miss the buffer.
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:13.759
I'm going here under the bus.
00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:14.319
What's crazy?
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:18.400
And I literally said some of us have a buffer reaction to things.
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:22.559
What's crazy is we literally spent the last three hours together.
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:23.119
Literally.
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:24.240
Yes, that is true.
00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:25.920
So really she had no need.
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:27.279
I had no need to do that to her.
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:27.759
No.
00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:30.319
Um, but and I do love dolphins.
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:37.279
Dolphins! I regret my dolphin um rant last time.
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:38.640
Yeah.
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:40.880
You didn't even call me out on that.
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:42.799
Well, because I was I was in listening mode.
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:49.039
I wasn't gonna be interjected also saying that I'm wrong.
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:51.440
I'm really not good at confrontation, as you can tell.
00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:52.880
She should have told me I was wrong.
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:53.920
I'm allowed to be wrong.
00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:54.559
But that's okay.
00:23:54.799 --> 00:23:55.279
You're not wrong.
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:58.400
I know, I know, but I feel bad that they're your favorite animal.
00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:00.000
It's not my favorite animal.
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:02.400
One of my favorite I have a lot of favorite animals.
00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:04.559

Multifaceted, multi-dimensional.
00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:13.599
Yeah.
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:14.319
Love.
00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:14.799

00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:16.000
Well, I missed you guys as well.
00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:16.960
I missed the pod.
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:18.559
This is our little teeny.
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:19.440

And did you like that?
00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:23.920
Yeah.
00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:25.279
Did you like the BLT?
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:26.799
She has all the great ideas.
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:28.000
And I do too.
00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:28.799
Just another literally.
00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:31.680
I'm going to do her idea of an episode because she's brilliant.
00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:32.160
So.
00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:33.680
Any hoodles.
00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:36.000
And it was for selfish reasons.
00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:37.279
Now I can do my makeup.
00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:39.119
For all of you.

We'll do next next time.
00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:52.559
I I feel like getting my makeup done is fun, but if you're watching me do my makeup, then it would be the most helpful for me.
00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:53.279
Okay, perfect.
00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:53.519
Yeah.
00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:55.200
We'll do give a man a fish.

Yeah.
00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:58.480

00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:09.200
Fresh tuna?
00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:09.599
Ugh.
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:12.400
Some sea bass.
00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:14.319
Rainbow bass.
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:15.599

Let's just imagine.
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:33.519
If you are a fly fisherman and you would like to be on the BLT podcast, you can take the place of our little mascot.

And small scheduling note we will now be going to every other week, mostly from you guys telling us you haven't caught up.
00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:38.400
So yeah, we like when you guys tell us exactly what we're doing slow down.
00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:40.079

Yeah, we will absolutely happily slow down.
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:45.519
It's not like we either one of us are going through any major life, career, or personal changes.

We cannot wait until next time.
00:26:57.519 --> 00:27:03.039
And next time will be uh beefy next time Sammy.
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:06.000
We've been teasing this Sammy for a long time.
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:09.359
The typography football, right?
00:27:09.680 --> 00:27:09.759
What?
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:11.359
Typography, okay.
00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:14.000
Next time we got a beefy sandwich for you.
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:14.960
Beefy sandwich.
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:17.440
I'm gonna be talking about all things typography.
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:20.640
I'm gonna be getting us ready for the NFL football season.
00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:26.960
Woo! We've been teasing this episode since the very first one, and it'll be coming out the week before the first week of the football.
00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:32.160
I may or may not have forced her to watch football recently during the preseason.
00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:35.599
I may or may not have already asked why is this game important.
00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:44.960
And I may or may not have said it doesn't matter, except for we are rooting for every single we are rooting for every single person that is trying to get a spot on the roster.
00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:46.000
And who did I show you?
00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:46.400
Yes.
00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:49.519
I I now have a I am rooting for him.
00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:50.079
Yes.
00:27:50.319 --> 00:27:51.359
He's a great man.
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:52.799
Uma from the Eagles.
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:54.160
I don't know if that's his first name.
00:27:54.319 --> 00:28:02.240
The player from the Eagles from Nigeria who played his very first NFL game, and he learned football in May, and we're very proud of him.
00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:03.119
We decided.
00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:08.079
And now teach her exactly why she will be an even bigger fan.
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:15.920
And you're gonna be a fan of typography because it's the coolest thing ever, in my opinion, and it's the foundation of so many ways of communication.
00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:19.200
And I'm working on my pitch, but it's gonna be great.
00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:28.880
Um and as always, I hope you enjoyed our sandwich with us.
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:31.359
You're stuck with it.
00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:32.079
I don't care.
00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:34.720
Goodbye! See you later.
