00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:25.679
If you ever lost the learning in your makeup career, I've been able to interview makeup artists and other industry professionals to give guidance and be the mentor I needed early in my career.

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:40.799
I've got Michael Brown back with me today.
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:42.320
We're back again.
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:44.159
You couldn't have enough, could you?
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:45.840
Like, we need more MB time.
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:47.520
I can't get too much of MB.
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:48.479
Can I tell you?
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:50.159
I had such a good chat with you.
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.320
I can talk as you now realize.
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.200
And listening back, I was like, oh my god, I need to shut up.
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:57.920
Like, you know, because you can't have a silent podcast.
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:05.840
True, but also, you know, but then I felt so good when I heard people like Heidi and Max that have also had like a 25-year career.
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:08.799
I'm like, we talk a lot because we've done so much, you know.
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:10.239
So that's that's it.
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:11.040
Yeah.
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.719
So Mike joining me today because we're gonna do some kit favorites.
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:21.040
Yep, but we're also gonna do a new segment where we're gonna use some of the kit favorites on model space.
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:22.719
In a real time scenario.
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:24.239
Who doesn't love a demo?
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:24.640
Come on.
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:31.200
And not like a content creator demo where it's like the eyeliner starts and it's edited, just like, oh, it just finished.
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:31.840
How did you get there?
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:32.879
You know, like I hate that.
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:34.159
It's like, well, how'd you get that?
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:35.359
Where's the blend?
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:36.480
We didn't see it go on.
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:37.519
It's so edited.
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:38.000
Yes.
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:44.000
So this is gonna be a bit more in real time and see what I really love and what you love on a model.
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.120
I'm excited because I always get to learn about new products.
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:47.359
Yeah.
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:49.760
You get, I mean, you get everything, don't you?
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:50.959
Yes, I do.
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:54.480
It is such a bonus, you know, to save money on kit.
00:01:54.799 --> 00:02:02.159
Obviously, it is insane to get products like there's a few here that haven't even launched in the country yet, and they've still sent it to me to trial out.
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:03.760
So I love it and I'm so grateful.
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:04.799
But also a lot.
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:06.719
I live in a small one-bedroom apartment.
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:09.039
I've only got a couple of cupboards and they're all full.
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.680
So I was like, I just give away a lot as well.
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:13.280
So we'll talk through that too.
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.680
I mean, it's nice to give stuff away.
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:16.639
Yeah, it is.
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:28.800
It's really because I I mean I don't get anywhere near as much as you, but I get some stuff and I give it to my friends and my friends' daughters, and like if someone gave that to me when I was younger, exactly.
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.199
Even now, it's so exciting.
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:42.080
It's funny how you forget because even when I was working for brands, I think in my original episode with you, I talked about um I always started on the retail floor working for brands.
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:51.120
I was working for the Lauder Group for three, four years, and we got gifted so many products at trainings, and then L'Oreal, I was working head office, so I had keys to the cupboard.
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:56.560
So I used to take things home, and then now being freelance, I've not paid for a thing in 12 years.
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:58.879
So you forget the value as well.
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:03.120
And now I give things to people like, oh my god, you sure you give me this bread?
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:04.319
I'm like, yeah, take it.
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:09.919
And sometimes I have some gift bags on my dining table and friends come around for a drink, like, can we open them?
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.800
And I'm like, it's just a gift bag, like, I need to open them now.
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.840
I'm like, oh my god, I forget the excitement and everything.
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:22.479
So you've got to you've got to take back sometimes and go, we are very, very lucky to receive these products.
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:23.360
Very lucky.
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.120
I mean, I know you and I both went to the Ness and Me again event with the perfume.
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:28.639
Yes, I'm wearing that today, actually.
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:30.240
I love that fragrance, yes.
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:31.680
She gifted so much.
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:32.719
A whole range.
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:33.840
Six perfumes?
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:47.039
Yeah, and like you think about fragrances, the expense, and these fragrances are a little bit special because they're 100% natural, which I don't necessarily, you know, care about myself, but I love that I'm wearing that's natural.
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:55.439
But for example, a friend of mine was breast well, is breastfeeding now, and I said to her, get those because she's scared about you know using a proper fragrance of alcohol content, whatever.
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.199
And she went out and bought them because I kind of influenced her from the gift.
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.680
Actually, I think I sent her one and then I kept the others.
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:03.680
But yeah, it's amazing, like all those fragrances.
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:04.879
Fragrances of the product.
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:05.919
But we talk about it, see?
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:11.039
So gifting is funny because some gifts she got, mm, I'm just not gonna use it.
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:12.080
Yeah, and that's different.
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:16.639
We actually went to an event, so it's kind of expected to get some kind of a gift bag.
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:19.519
But that gift bag was just so generous.
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:22.560
But then but then there's deliveries that come to my house sometimes.
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:25.680
I don't even know that PR agency or that brand.
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:27.600
Like, how do I even know where I live?
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.759
Like, like, how do I yeah?
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:34.319
It's just funny how things turn up my doorstep, and I'm like, I don't even know where that came from, you know.
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:37.199
So how do we manage all deliveries?
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:38.000
It is funny.
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:48.000
My building manager is so lovely, he brings my mail to my front door because most of them are gift bags and big boxes, and he's like, You definitely get the most mail in the entire building.
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.879
And there's probably, I think, 80 apartments in this complex.
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:52.639
That's quite a lot.
00:04:52.879 --> 00:05:03.360
So I'm lucky that I've got him to bring it up and I feel safe as deliveries because so many people that don't have you know, like a place of business where people can accept deliveries, struggle with that, they go missing.
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:05.600
Like a friend of mine, hers got stolen once.
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:17.519
Yeah, so I'm lucky that I always feel that it's safe coming to this address, but it can be overwhelming because some weeks I'm working back to back, you're really busy, you don't have time to even go through it.
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:23.519
Like you might have a little peek, but then you don't want to open it completely because you might go, oh, that could be a content moment, you know.
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:29.600
So then I the dining table becomes this mountain of products where the last month I've been quite quiet.
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:34.720
So it's been nice to be a little bit well, obviously I'd rather be working, but it's been a bit quiet for me.
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:36.079
So it's actually been good to go.
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:38.800
I can go through my gift bags and really properly go.
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:40.240
Is that a gift for someone?
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:41.680
Is that a kit favorite?
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:43.279
I put it straight to kit.
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:43.439
Yeah.
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:46.959
Straight to kit, or is it I'll see how it goes kind of thing?
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:48.800
So I've got a few little ways to do it.
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:49.279
Yeah.
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:55.040
Yes, and there's different places in my house, like the laundry's like I'll keep and I've got no room for you.
00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:06.160
Yeah, or or a really beautiful box or a gift that you go, oh, this would be a nice opening, like unboxing, which I know unboxing is a bit like ugh boring these days, but some of them are just so beautifully packaged.
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:07.759
Well, we both got the Walita.
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:09.040
Yes, the cake.
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:13.439
I mean, if there's a cake or something, it has to go on the socials, you know.
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:14.319
Icing.
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:15.680
Yeah, the icing was good.
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:26.800
But then also Charlotte Tilby, for example, their mailers are always over the top, like a slide out, and there's wording and there's things and there's magic, and you know, it's it's it's not just in a box.
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:32.000
It's like, okay, that's a whole elaborate gift box that needs to go on the socials.
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:32.480
Absolutely.
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:35.360
Then something's come in a bag, some come not even wrapped.
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:38.560
It's it's it's so different from brand and PR agency.
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:42.800
And I'm not saying that you have to do this elaborate gift for us to put on socials.
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:47.920
You just have it has to, or you I feel like you just need a way to make it work, right?
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:48.800
Like for you.
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:52.639
And also, there's no possible way I can show every gift.
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:57.279
I get at the moment 15 to 20 minimum a week.
00:06:57.439 --> 00:06:57.600
Wow.
00:06:57.839 --> 00:06:58.240
A week.
00:06:58.399 --> 00:06:58.560
Yeah.
00:06:58.720 --> 00:06:59.519
It's so it's a lot.
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:00.240
That is a lot.
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:04.720
And some weeks more, some weeks a little bit less, but average is 15-20 a week, right?
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:05.519
There's no way.
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:06.800
Also, it's boring content.
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.120
Like, no one wants to see me opening packages all day, every day.
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:12.959
It's just like I only do it when I go, ooh, that's a new innovation.
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:14.079
I've never seen that before.
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:15.600
And I've been around 25 years.
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:19.759
So for something to be like maybe the applicator is like, ooh, that's cool.
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:26.800
Like Tarte has these new primers that have rollerballs built into the primer, and you're kind of massaging the skin.
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:28.000
I'm like, that's cool.
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:28.319
Yeah.
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:32.879
You know, so that's when I did, okay, I'm gonna sit down and go through this because I've never seen that before.
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:35.279
So I love innovation, I love something different.
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:41.120
Maybe it's a texture, a shade, or if you've been seeing it going viral on social media, I'll do an extra post about it.
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:42.000
Yeah, for sure.
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:43.759
All right, should we get into some favorites?
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:49.120
Oh my god, I mean, it's so hard because, like I said, I do receive so many gifts.
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:50.160
What do I show?
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:57.439
There's been so many, and everything I'm showing you, I don't think there's anything that's not that old, really, apart from probably the Fenty powder.
00:07:57.600 --> 00:07:59.279
Everything is really current.
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:04.480
And as I said to you before, there's something I've got in my little kit right now that hasn't even been launched in the country yet.
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:11.040
So I'm very lucky that people trust me, like even uh recently a sunscreen brand said to us, we're gonna launch this in three months.
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:12.639
We know you love the old version.
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:15.519
Can we send you the lab sample and give us your feedback?
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:16.879
So that happens to me a lot.
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:20.800
Brands go, it's only a lab sample, it's not even packaging yet, but can you just try it?
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.000
Yeah, and it and it and it and you know, tell us your honest feedback.
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.240
And I'm honest, I can't go, oh, it's fabulous.
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:27.680
I got too great, you know.
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:29.120
Well, they want that's why they are.
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:30.560
But I love that they trust me.
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:31.920
I'm like, okay, that's great.
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:33.519
So I don't know what should we start.
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:36.399
Should we start with complexion, maybe?
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:37.519
You start with complexion.
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:38.320
Go through the face.
00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:39.039
Absolutely.
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:39.519
Yeah.
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:40.000
All right.
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:46.799
So look, Charlotte Tilbury and I just I just love the brand for many reasons.
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:54.799
It's one of those brands I get asked this all the time, especially when you're out somewhere, an event and a wedding, and no one really knows you, and they go, What do you do for your living?
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:56.080
You say makeup artists.
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:56.720
Oh my god.
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:01.279
People go nuts, and so many girls are going, what's your favourite brand?
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:09.039
I was like, how can you see there's there's no way you can answer that because so many brands do things like some do good complexion, yeah, terrible eyes.
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:11.679
Some do good eyes, good lips, terrible complexion.
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.360
You know, it's hard to find a brand that can do everything, but I do think that Charlotte Tilbury.
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:21.840
If I had to just go, I can never use it's pretty good for eyes, lips, yeah, I mean skin, yeah.
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:23.279
They do everything pretty good.
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:36.159
Anyway, I've been using the complexion of Charlotte for a long time, like the Hollywood Flawless Filter, the brand new reformulated airbrush uh foundation, the airbrush powders, pretty much my whole complexion is Charlotte.
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:39.840
But there's one thing that I think people don't know about the Magic Vanish.
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:40.639
Have you heard of it?
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:51.200
It looks like a little mini press powder, and everyone thinks in my kit, oh my god, the baby powder, which they do do these for the little samples, but it's actually a brightening concealer.
00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:53.679
Mine's obviously everything he's used, guys.
00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:56.080
It's actually from my kit, it's not brand new.
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.639
So Magic Vanish comes in, I think it's four shades.
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:00.080
I mean the corrector.
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:00.480
Yes.
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:02.799
So you'd still do your foundation.
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:12.559
I still do a proper concealer first, like proper, like let's get rid of the bag or the or the puffiness, you know, maybe use a peach colour to you know correct.
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:15.039
But then this is more like my finisher.
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.399
Once I do all the makeup and I go, you're done.
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:20.320
I use it almost like we're done.
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:25.519
We're about to set with powder, we're about to setting spray, and I get it and just pop it under the eye.
00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:25.759
Yeah.
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:29.919
And it kind of gets everything blended together, but it's a real brightener.
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:30.960
Magic Vanish.
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.679
Now, one and two are my most used shades.
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.320
One is more for my probably skin tone, quite fair.
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:37.679
I'm quite fair at the moment.
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:39.279
Two, probably maybe for you.
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:44.559
And then three's got a real like peachy, real peach undertone.
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:46.720
Then four is like almost orange.
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:47.039
Okay.
00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:48.480
So it's real corrective.
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:52.000
But Magic Vanish, I now can't do a makeup without it.
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:53.360
Like, you gotta try.
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:57.600
It's just something that is like, I know Tarte do something similar.
00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:01.840
I think NARS have a pot that's supposed to be brightening corrector concealer.
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:05.679
But this one is just that that's number two, so it's your shade.
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:07.759
It's actually a really beautiful texture.
00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:14.639
It reflects light, and I really notice it when I'm doing like photo shoots, people on camera.
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:18.000
Because in real life, you might not see it when they're going to an event in daytime.
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:19.120
Sorry, daylight.
00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:23.679
But when I'm on set or something, and I go, oh, she's it's three o'clock, she's getting looking a bit tired.
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.799
I can redo that part with the magic vanish.
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.879
Boom, you are alive, your under eye is fresh, it's bright, it's dewy.
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:32.080
Brings it back to life.
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:33.279
I can't, I can't.
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:34.879
I've actually run out of number one.
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:36.080
I'm waiting for the stock.
00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:40.159
I text Charlotte, yes, so not herself, not Charlotte's like, hey Charlotte, no, darling.
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:44.399
No, I text the PR because I'm desperate for it because it's got you know so many events coming up.
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:47.120
Yeah, they're like, it's in customs, we can't, we can't push it.
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:48.480
So that's my favorite.
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:49.679
Wow, there we go.
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:50.879
Yeah, big one for that.
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:51.440
Love that.
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:52.000
Okay.
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:56.720
Now, for also complexion, we'll go into like blushes, right?
00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:00.000
I'm a massive, massive blush fan.
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:00.399
Yeah.
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:00.879
Right?
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:04.799
Now, all my clients, I go, you're gonna get a lot of blush because it's just me.
00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:07.600
Now we can we can choose a really neutral colour.
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:10.879
You don't have to go pink or peach or really bright, but you're gonna get blush.
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:13.840
That's just my kind of aesthetic with makeup.
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:18.080
Now, the House Labs glassy, they're called glassy blush balms.
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:18.879
These are the ones.
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:21.679
I'm sure a lot of you watching have seen these.
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:24.320
They're a wind-up balm stick.
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:28.720
Now, the most my most used shade is ginger, which is this one here.
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:32.559
Yeah, Peachy Pink kind of had a baby, like a peach and a pink and a baby.
00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:35.679
It's kind of like, I don't know, it's not even salmon-y, I don't know.
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:39.120
It's just like a beautiful kind of got like that top.
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:40.240
No, you can't even see it.
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:42.080
Oh, it is a bit more, no, it isn't as top, is it?
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:42.240
No.
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:43.759
It's just so fresh.
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.720
Yeah, it's it's a like a quite a neutral blush in a witch.
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:51.600
It's just so, it's it's out of, I mean, there's so I've got my my my kits behind me.
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:53.360
There's like the entire range in there.
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:54.639
There's probably 12 shades.
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:54.879
Yeah.
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:57.600
From bright orange to deep burgundies to brown.
00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:01.519
Like I think the cinnamon one, that's like your bronzy brown, the shade cinnamon.
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:02.559
Beautiful that one.
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:05.519
I use K, it's called Kahn or something, or KM.
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:05.919
Okay.
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:08.240
I use that on myself just to get like the glow.
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:11.200
See the glow there, that's actually from this, but I really dull it down.
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:12.399
So it's not like blush.
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:12.639
Yeah.
00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:14.960
But there's pinks, there's peach, there's orange.
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:15.759
Have a little go.
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:17.679
There's burgundies, there's browns.
00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:20.639
It is stunning as like a glow blush.
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.159
It's good for this colour too is good for someone who's not a blush person.
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:27.200
Yeah, and that's that that's why that's my most used.
00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:29.120
Like, I did a bride recently.
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:36.559
I don't do weddings very often, but I did a bride recently, and it's like that first part of blush, it's like a layering blush.
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:38.559
It's not full-on high pigment.
00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:38.960
No, no.
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:46.159
So if you want full on high pigment in a in a in a stick form, maybe the NARS or the Charlotte Tilbury sticks are more pigment.
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:49.919
But this is the most glowy, hence why it's called glassy blush balm.
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.240
It is the most glassy blush.
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:53.039
Like, I love it.
00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:54.159
It gives you the glow.
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:55.200
Yeah, the glow.
00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:58.000
But speaking of house laps, I've got the powders.
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:03.360
They sent me the whole range of the powders, and I must admit, this is my favourite, the peach, what's it called?
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:04.960
Uh, well, Pomelo Peach.
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:08.879
But I've got the hot pink, I've got the red, I've got the brown, I've got the normal pink.
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:10.000
I haven't tried these.
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:11.279
I can't go past them.
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:16.799
So now what I do is I do the glassy blush balm almost in my highlighter step of the makeup.
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:19.759
Just to give me a little bit of colour to see how the makeup's going.
00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:25.679
And then once I go, I'm happy with this colour, I then put the powder over the top to bring the blush alive.
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:26.720
Try the texture.
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:27.600
Yeah, it's beautiful.
00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:28.960
And I've actually put it over the top.
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:30.480
Oh, yes, I'll put it over the top.
00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:35.120
I know Patrick Tarr, I love his by the way, the double, you know, the duo blushes gone.
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:35.600
Yes.
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:41.759
Now I love those for a kit, and makeup artists would love it too, because it's literally a powder and a cream in the one packaging.
00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:47.840
They're in my back room because I still have them, but you know, because I get products so regularly, my kit doesn't change.
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:51.360
Yeah, my kit is updated every three months, it's all new again.
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:52.879
So a lot of wastage.
00:14:52.960 --> 00:15:03.759
But anyway, but he always says his technique is yes, powder first to get the colour on, and then the cream or the glow to dull it down.
00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:05.120
Both make sense, right?
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:06.320
Yeah, depending on who you are.
00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:13.279
But for this particular, so for house labs, I do the other way around, the more traditional, which is like the cream first and it's over the top, but yeah.
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:15.840
I do I do love spectacular.
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:16.399
Yeah.
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:17.360
They are amazing.
00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:23.200
They're not as well, actually now he's got a few hot pinks and the real ready burgundy ones.
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:23.360
Yeah.
00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:26.639
House labs for me have a lot more colour range.
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:26.879
Yeah.
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:32.720
Like from orange to pink to peach to red to burgundy.
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:37.360
His are all in that bronzy, whiny burgundy.
00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:41.759
There's no real I mean, there is one hot pink, but you know what I mean?
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:42.480
It's not, yeah.
00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:45.360
I find House Labs's colour range, I think, better.
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:46.159
Yeah, right.
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:49.440
Like, I love his textures and I love that it's all in one packaging.
00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:52.240
So if you're into one packaging, Patrick Tarr.
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:58.240
But if you don't mind, I just can't get like I'm obsessed with the House Labs blush combo.
00:15:58.320 --> 00:15:58.639
I just can't.
00:15:59.200 --> 00:15:59.919
That's your blush combo.
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:00.159
Yeah.
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:01.519
Yeah, everyone now.
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:01.759
Yeah.
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:04.000
All right, what's next?
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:07.679
Let's go to eyes, should we?
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:09.440
So many product cards.
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:15.919
Okay, now Charlotte Tilbury again, but these have been an absolute, no word of a lie, game changer.
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:17.360
The new eyeshadow sticks.
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:21.519
Now I've got all of them in my kit just there, but I just brought a few shades to show you.
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:24.320
These are the exaggerized eyeshadow sticks.
00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:28.399
Now they had a global artist from Charlotte Tilbury in Australia recently.
00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:35.200
So Mecca invited me to Melbourne, to MechaVersity, to really see it all launching and happening, and it was a vibe.
00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:45.200
So I really got to experience not only my own thoughts of like trialling on my hands and everything, like I would do when a product delivery comes, I put it on my hand and go, hmm, nah, yes, no.
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.399
She was obviously a pro artist, so she's worked for Charlotte herself.
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:51.360
Her tips were insane how to use them, how to layer them.
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:54.720
But she kept saying to me, you don't even need to put a powder over the top.
00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:57.519
You can literally use three or four shades and layer.
00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:00.320
Because in other brands I've tried that, they crease.
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:04.319
And they say no creasing, but when you start layering, they crease.
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:09.759
Now there's six matte, like these beautiful kind of matte shades, and then there's six metallic.
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:14.559
So when I say metallic, it's not too glittery, but just a bit more frosty, you know.
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.440
But the shades, like these torps and caramels.
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:19.200
Now, have you tried them before?
00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:20.240
I think I have.
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:21.440
Oh my god.
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:26.720
So I went to London in June holiday, but a bit of work.
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:29.599
I was doing Royal Ascot the birthday, I believe.
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:32.160
My birthday, but yes, Royal Ascot with Kate Waterhouse.
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:38.880
I did seven glams that week, and I was like, God, to carry all my powder eyeshadows, it's just too much and heavy and powders can break.
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:42.079
I only took the six glow and the six matte.
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:44.079
That's all I took, and I did all my makeup for that.
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:45.680
They're not dry and chalky.
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:48.880
You know how some cream eyeshadows make that dry.
00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:55.440
I actually got annoyed because when I got to MechaVersity and saw the, you know, the all the uh what do you call the signage and the branding?
00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:57.680
That was like, it's a makeup artisan or sick.
00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:01.119
I was like, excuse me, you're trying to take our job.
00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:14.079
Don't say that, but yes, it they're marketed as a makeup artisan the stick because they really are creamy, blendable, buildable, and they last for hours and just yeah, they're they've been a game changer in my kit.
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:16.000
This colour looks like perfection.
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:23.200
Yeah, the the the the there's like a cashmere or the cashmere something, and anyway, the colours are just beautiful.
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:26.799
But I love that there's six, six matte, six sculpt.
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:30.960
Before that, I was actually using the NARS versions, and the NAS ones are great.
00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:35.839
But when you start layering them, the cream on the cream, that something wasn't working.
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:41.599
Whereas these I find you can layer, layer, layer, build, build, build, and they all melt together and are fabulously blended.
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:42.799
So they're they're my eyes.
00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:43.680
Yeah, I can't wait for that.
00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:44.720
Thanks for Charlotte's.
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:49.839
Another one for eyes is I'm obsessed with brown mascara lately.
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:52.400
Now, look, not everyone can wear brown mascara.
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:55.200
I did a personal client last weekend, it was her 40th.
00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:56.720
I know her through a friend.
00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:10.640
She is part Indian and she's got beautiful, long, you know, imagine the beautiful, long, dark hair, dark eyes, obviously a warmer, darker, deeper skin tone, black lashes, and she likes a dark eye.
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:15.839
The brown wouldn't do anything for her because, you know, it's like that colour theory thing.
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:25.039
You know, some people can wear red lipstick and black liner and black mascara, and it actually looks natural on them because of their colours and their skin tone and hair colour, right?
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:30.400
Whereas a blonde, blue eye, fair skin, red lip, black liner, whoa, that's intense, right?
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:32.720
So for her, a brown mascara, nothing.
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:40.720
But a lot of my clients do have like a caramel hair, red hair, blonde hair or medium brown hair, and lighter eyes, especially.
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:41.359
Whoa.
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:43.839
Now, the Fenty, hella thick.
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:46.000
The black is my absolute go-to.
00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:49.759
As I said in my episode with you, most of the work I do is a vent makeup.
00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:52.559
So even a little tubular, I need more.
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:55.119
I need thick lashes, you know, for a vent makeup.
00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:55.839
Red carpet.
00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:56.640
I need like thick.
00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:59.279
So I use hella thick anyway, but this brown.
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:01.839
I don't know if you can see it there.
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:02.799
Oh, yeah, beautiful.
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:04.079
But it's a good brown.
00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:07.279
Now, you know how years ago most browns were brown black.
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:07.839
Yes.
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:09.039
It's not brown black.
00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:11.599
It's an actual, you probably just can't see it in this line.
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:13.759
It's an actual chocolate brown.
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:14.240
Yes.
00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:14.640
Right?
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:15.519
A chocolate brown.
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:20.559
Not brown black business, because that's kind of the same as black to me, but a chocolate brown mascara.
00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:24.400
I use Fenty because I like the thickness of the mascara.
00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:26.319
The other one that I love is lash clash.
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:27.759
I haven't got it here right now because I've run out.
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:29.359
Lash Clash from YSL.
00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:29.839
Okay.
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:32.400
That colour is even more orangey brown.
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:36.640
So if you've got green eyes, for example, like a company with green eyes or your own green eyes, whoa.
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:38.880
Because the orangey brown contrast.
00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:40.799
But brown mascara.
00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:41.119
Yeah.
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:46.640
I just think you don't always need like for a day event and a beautiful day glam.
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:48.559
I did this into Franklin recently.
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:49.440
She's got light eyes.
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:51.119
And it was filming on her farm.
00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:51.440
Yes.
00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:53.119
But she wants glam because it's filmed.
00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:53.440
Yes.
00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:55.839
Just black mascara filming on a farm.
00:20:55.920 --> 00:21:03.920
I just felt like we just did layer, like a couple of layers of this brown, and it actually made her eyes more green, I think, than a black mascara.
00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:05.839
She was like, oh, this looks better than black.
00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:06.079
Yeah.
00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:07.039
So I don't know.
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:08.400
But I'm just so into brown.
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:10.559
Colour maxing, isn't that what's happening at the moment?
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:11.039
Yeah.
00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:12.319
Yeah.
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:20.079
I just think think about your colour, your person's whole colour theory, their skin colour, hair colour, eye colour, and do a mascara that matches.
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:22.000
Black might not always be the best option.
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:24.799
Yeah, I wish, I wish black wasn't the best option for me.
00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:28.319
But you'd probably probably be suited more black.
00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:28.720
Oh, yeah.
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:30.319
I mean, you could go the black brown.
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:36.640
I know like I've got the MCO Beauty Tubular, they do a black brown, but I'm just into a chocolate brown at the moment.
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:37.119
Love it.
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:38.000
M brown.
00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:39.680
Cycle brown mascara.
00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:42.799
The other thing I just got, now this is not new.
00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:43.200
Okay.
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:46.640
But Benefit is a brand that we we all know Benefit.
00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:47.920
It's been around for so long.
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:48.160
Yeah.
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:53.920
They have gifted me and been invited to events for a long time, but not for a long time.
00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:59.759
And so I went to an event recently through Snapchat, and the head of marketing and I were chatting, and she's like, don't really see.
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.440
You using March, or we see you do today's show segments, never benefit.
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:05.039
I said, You guys don't send me anything.
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:06.160
She's like, What?
00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:08.480
And I go, I think I've dropped off the list.
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:09.440
I don't get anything.
00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:14.319
Next minute, the biggest box came, and I'm so grateful because I haven't used Benefit for a while.
00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:15.039
I forgot.
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:16.880
Now, this is now what's the name?
00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:19.119
Mighty Fine Brow Pen.
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:22.880
As we know, Benefit is famous for brows, right?
00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:24.880
But this one is a feather.
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:28.640
So you can see it's got three tiny prongs there.
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:34.559
You shake it, get the product out, and it comes on and just do little, like little feathering strokes.
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:36.960
It's three little like, can you see?
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:37.440
Yeah.
00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:39.039
It can't be three little prongs.
00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:41.279
It works out so beautifully, too.
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:42.079
Yes.
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:45.920
So there's so many clients, and I'm once again, I'm a brow purse.
00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:47.200
I like thicker brows.
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:48.079
I brush mine up.
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:49.839
Even to go to the gym, I brush my eyebrows up.
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:51.519
I just love fluffy big brows, right?
00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:55.599
And yes, we know the Arky brow from Anastasia Beverly Hills.
00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:59.599
Insane 0.5 millimeter head, like it's so small.
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:01.440
So you can do individual hairs.
00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:03.039
Often I'm in a rush though.
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:03.359
Of course.
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:04.640
Because clients are late.
00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:07.279
And often they're so blonde or there's not much brow hair there.
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:08.880
So you're really building it, right?
00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:10.640
This has been a game changer.
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:13.519
But and not game changer, time saver.
00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:17.440
Because if there's not much brow here, I can just use that and go cheek cheek cheek.
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:18.799
And it's like three hairs in one.
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:19.519
Oh my god.
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:20.880
This one's 3.5.
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:22.319
3.5, so lighter.
00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:25.519
This is a like 3.5 is the one I use the most.
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:25.839
Yeah.
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:27.839
Because it's more that taupey brownie.
00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:29.200
That's a great colour for you.
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:30.319
Oh, 3.5.
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:37.200
Honestly, if you've got someone that hasn't got much brows or yourself and you want something quick, rather doing like obviously archie brow.
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:38.000
0.5mm.
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:38.799
Heaven.
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:40.559
But it's individual, individual, individual.
00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:42.160
I think it's more time consuming.
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:43.680
This has been like dun dun dun dun.
00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:44.559
This looks amazing.
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:44.880
Great.
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:46.720
So thanks, Benefit, for the new gift packs.
00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:47.759
So that's ice.
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:54.079
Now, going into lip, I think we all know that makeup forever, the artist pencils.
00:23:54.319 --> 00:23:55.519
Yeah, you obviously have them.
00:23:55.680 --> 00:23:56.559
What's that, Carl?
00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:58.240
Oh, I'm gonna show you.
00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:02.480
So, Anywhere caffeine, I think you know, is the most popular nude.
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:05.119
I think nearly every makeup artist I know has anywhere caffeine.
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:07.119
I've worked with Chantel Baker before in Melbourne.
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:08.720
She's like, duh, get the anime caffeine out.
00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:10.640
It's the only nude we use.
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:11.839
Try that one.
00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:14.079
But there's also Limitless Brown.
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:14.880
Oh, yeah, okay.
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:18.720
And it's funny that I wouldn't think about putting, because I use this for eyeliner.
00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:28.559
Limitless brown is a chocolate brown that I use a lot for eyes, either as a you know, tight line, a little wing, and I smudge it, or an actual liner smudged in.
00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:29.839
Limitless brown, right?
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:37.279
But lately, everyone's doing this full-on brown lip liner, then getting an eyeshadow brush and buffing it out.
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:37.519
Yeah.
00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:38.640
Game changer.
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:38.960
Yeah.
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:40.000
Limitless brown.
00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:41.359
What's the other?
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:42.720
There's another brown one.
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:44.000
The Endless Cacao?
00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:44.319
No.
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:45.759
That's a torped colour.
00:24:46.079 --> 00:24:47.279
Velvet or something.
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:49.680
Or maybe this is the one I've used on my lips.
00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:50.799
That's a brown brown.
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:52.319
I think I have used this one on my lips.
00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:54.160
That's putting it's got a bit of red to it.
00:24:54.400 --> 00:25:03.200
Because I do a client of mine and she has beautiful, I mean, I don't even need to do much, but she does love that darker lip line and limitless brown.
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:05.039
I'm thinking that's that's very dark.
00:25:05.119 --> 00:25:06.880
She goes, no, no, and then you buff it with a brush.
00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:08.160
I'm like, oh my god.
00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:10.559
Buffing it with the brush thing is amazing.
00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:16.799
But when you look at this, okay, I love my Anywhere caffeine.
00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:18.640
I love my Limitless Brown.
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:22.960
And I'm never gonna not have them in my kit because I feel like they are the best, right?
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:23.279
Yeah.
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:24.640
Eyes or lips.
00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:26.720
But Charlotte.
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:27.920
Once again, Charlotte.
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:33.920
They have these lip contour duos, lip cheek contour duos.
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:42.960
It basically, a slight shade difference, but it's basically limitless brown on one end, and it's basically anywhere caffeine on the other end.
00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:46.799
And when you have a look at it, it is basically the same.
00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:52.400
So if you're traveling, for example, when I went to London, I didn't take my makeup reverence, I just took all of these because there's other shades of these.
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:54.960
There's a pink, there's a fair, a medium, a deep.
00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:56.960
It's basically in one stick.
00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:01.680
I think more brands should look at Charlotte and go, yeah, why don't we have lip duos?
00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:04.559
Because these days, people are using two lip liners.
00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:06.640
They are one for outer, one for inner.
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:11.039
That ombre lip, the 3D lip, the blended blur lip, it's all in.
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:12.559
So yeah, very similar.
00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:12.960
Yeah.
00:26:13.119 --> 00:26:13.839
What do you think?
00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:14.559
Love it.
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:15.039
Love it.
00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:16.559
Great, great shades, hey?
00:26:16.799 --> 00:26:17.440
Great shade.
00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:19.839
And really and a great little tip for traveling.
00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:20.880
I don't pay for it.
00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:22.400
So I'm gonna have it in my kit.
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:36.720
But if you're an artist out there that is buying, or you just want it for yourself, or you're traveling soon, because even artists struggle when they go, like, say they do go overseas for a wedding or a job, or even not overseas, just just just flying anywhere.
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:38.240
How do you condense your kit?
00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:39.279
Look for things like that.
00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:42.640
There are duos, it saves so much weight as well.
00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:46.720
Like for me, I took all these away with me rather than eyeshadow palettes.
00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:49.279
That was so much weight lifted off my luggage.
00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:50.079
I only took these.
00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:51.039
Now, everyone's different.
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:54.000
I know you might want an eyeshadow, but I took not one powder eyeshadow.
00:26:54.079 --> 00:26:56.799
I just took this because I also knew the clients I was doing.
00:26:56.880 --> 00:26:58.319
So I knew that it'd be okay for their eye.
00:26:58.480 --> 00:26:59.119
I knew their taste.
00:26:59.279 --> 00:26:59.599
Yeah.
00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:04.480
Now, the last thing for lips, I think you and I are both very excited.
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:07.119
House Labs have launched these lip lacquers.
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:08.559
Can you hear the little ball in there?
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:09.759
They love a little ball shade.
00:27:09.920 --> 00:27:12.960
So they're lip lacquers is six, eight shades.
00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:15.279
I don't know.
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:18.559
Sorry, Garga, but I don't love the shade range.
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:22.079
There's only three that I use, like the pinky version.
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:23.359
This peach is insane.
00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:24.240
What's it actually called?
00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:26.240
She's a Moby pinky colour.
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:27.279
Sheer petrol.
00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:27.519
Yeah.
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:28.720
The dusty rose.
00:27:28.880 --> 00:27:32.319
There's a bright red, there's a plum, and there's browns and deep.
00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:38.880
It's quite for the makeup I do and the clients I have, a bit too deep for me, but this one.
00:27:39.039 --> 00:27:41.279
And I had a client the other morning that had to go on television.
00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:43.039
I did her makeup at 5:30, 6am.
00:27:43.359 --> 00:27:44.960
Probably did her lips at like 7am.
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:47.039
Two hours later, she's on TV.
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:48.480
The glow, the shine.
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:51.440
It's supposed to be you pop it on your lip.
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:53.279
Wait, don't, don't do that.
00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:55.279
The worst thing you can do is do that.
00:27:55.359 --> 00:27:57.599
You're supposed to let your lips not touch.
00:27:57.759 --> 00:28:00.480
So just let them not touch for a while.
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:01.359
10 seconds.
00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:03.200
And then apparently it will last for eight hours.
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:04.319
It I had to go.
00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:05.119
I tried mine on.
00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:05.599
I don't do it.
00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:07.039
Because I saw you did a post on it.
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:09.680
And like the colour was so dark on me to the other bit.
00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:10.400
It was anyway.
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:14.000
It I had to go upstairs and get an oil cleanser.
00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:14.480
Yeah, yes.
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:16.799
Even put it on your hands.
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:18.559
It does not come off.
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:20.960
And you get you it keeps this shine to it.
00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:24.799
Yeah, it's supposed to be full-on eight-hour shine and eight-hour wear.
00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:39.279
I saw Sarah is it Sarah Tanno, Lady Garga's makeup artist, and she did a whole reel about them and she was showing how you leave your lips like untouched for like 10-15 seconds and then it will lock in and then you're done for the day.
00:28:39.519 --> 00:28:39.759
Yes.
00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:41.759
Well, I didn't do that when I did it on me.
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:43.920
I because I'm such a lip rubber.
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:44.240
Yeah.
00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:48.880
In my car, and it's like we're moving.
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:49.839
And I'm like, what is this?
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:50.319
This is sweet.
00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:53.680
And then I stopped and then it dried and it stayed.
00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:56.319
And I was I actually could not believe it.
00:28:56.559 --> 00:29:04.960
Even Fashion Week, which is a while ago now, but I did a um, I was actually working with House Lab exclusively to do talent and clients going to Fashion Week.
00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:06.319
And that that wasn't even out yet.
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:11.200
And they said, look, you can use these on the clients today and show the talent, but you can't post about it yet.
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:20.000
So I actually did someone, Ali Simpson, beautiful girl, I did her, and I said, It's like three o'clock and the show's at six, but this should last you.
00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:24.480
And I went to that show that night, and she kind of goes, it's still on, it hasn't moved.
00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:25.519
So I was like, Great.
00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:29.359
So if you're looking for something eight hours, maybe a bride, but the shades.
00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:30.400
It's the shades.
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:33.039
If there was more nude, kind of fresher shades.
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:41.599
I mean, I only had that in my kit, the pedal, because now what I'm doing is even when I'm doing a brown or a red or other colour, I just put that shade over the top because it's quite neutral, the pedal.
00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:43.279
So yeah, that's my favorite.
00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:52.880
One thing that I was sent from Gasp Beauty, it's a makeup artist in uh Melbourne, and I don't think a friend of hers, Gasp Beauty, it looks like a little pen.
00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:59.200
The back of it comes with these applicators and they're all different shapes, like an angle or a pinpoint.
00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:01.680
But it's actually a makeup eraser.
00:30:01.839 --> 00:30:08.400
So it's kind of got like a micella water effect inside, and then mine's being used, obviously, so don't mind that tip.
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:22.079
But if you like put a dab of, you know, the mascara dot, or your lip line has gone accidentally a bit too low, or maybe your eyeshadow underneath's gone too low, or mascara has smudged to the bottom of the lash line.
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:30.720
You can actually have a couple of dots there, and you can go flick, and it's like it's a magic eraser, like it's a makeup eraser.
00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:37.759
And the one that this flat one here, you can actually use that and then like sharpen your lip liner edges.
00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:40.720
It is just, I don't know, it's been a game changer for me.
00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:44.400
You can use it with your clients because you can just use different ones, yeah.
00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:51.200
But I but but but I got the micella water uh that the the antibacterial wipes in my kit, so I just wipe it after every use.
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:55.279
But it is just like why I was like, why didn't I think of that?
00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:58.160
We all get the little micella water on a cotton tip.
00:30:58.319 --> 00:31:03.279
Yeah, often the cotton tip, the cotton goes on the face or it gets more smudged.
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:03.839
Yes.
00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:09.039
I find with that it's cleaner, it is so clean, it removes it instantly.
00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:09.519
Yeah.
00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:11.279
So game changer for me.
00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:12.000
Gasp.
00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:14.880
Now, I know it's not groundbreaking here, but sharpeners.
00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:16.880
I mean, we all need good sharpeners.
00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:20.079
I bought the old manicare one from the pharmacy recently.
00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:20.319
Yeah.
00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:24.480
Nut after about four or five uses, it all the lids kept breaking.
00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:27.920
So it was cheap, obviously, it's just manicare, no offense, manicare.
00:31:28.160 --> 00:31:31.039
But no, but makeup forever sent me theirs.
00:31:31.119 --> 00:31:35.039
It's just a little lid, and then you unclip that to release the little bin.
00:31:35.359 --> 00:31:38.079
I have never had, okay, where's something that needs sharpening?
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:39.599
I mean, these are kind of brand new, aren't they?
00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:42.880
Anyway, maybe this one here, the Charlotte Tilbury.
00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:48.720
I mean, it just I've never seen something that just makes it so quickly pointed.
00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:57.119
Like, anyway, that if you can get the makeup forever sharpener, you will never worry about it breaking and snapping and the lead so perfectly done.
00:31:57.279 --> 00:32:00.079
And then also it's got the little and quite a big bin.
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:05.279
And you know how some of them, like say the Manicare one, it just has that plastic covering and it always falls off in your kit.
00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:05.440
Yeah.
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:08.319
And the shavings, I have had that in my kit for three months.
00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:13.039
It is never ever once, even with travelling overseas, it never ever opened up.
00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:14.720
And it's chic, it's black.
00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:15.839
Yeah, it's you can't see that.
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:16.799
Make up forever.
00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:18.319
Thank you so much for sending me.
00:32:18.640 --> 00:32:21.519
And like it's such this funny thing, it's a sharpener.
00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:24.400
Like, big deal, but it actually makes a difference for us.
00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:26.640
We need these in our kit that are so high quality.
00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:26.960
Yeah.
00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:29.440
Now the last thing is tape.
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:32.880
I'm pretty good now, especially after working with Ray Morris a lot.
00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:36.640
She's so good at doing like a little wing or a flick eyeliner.
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:41.839
And like I've always done too, she always goes from the bottom lash line as your guide.
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:49.440
Never have your eyes closed and try and do a wing when your eyes are closed, because when your eyes open, the whole eye area readjusts.
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:52.319
For a lot of people, they're hooded or you know, it just won't work.
00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:58.960
If you follow the bottom line and use that as your angle and your guide, you will always get the perfect wing.
00:32:59.039 --> 00:33:00.960
And I try and use an angled brush.
00:33:01.200 --> 00:33:11.759
But for some people, they just want a wing, and you're like, a wing might not suit you the best because of your eye shape, you're a bit hooded or whatever, or you just still want it.
00:33:11.839 --> 00:33:12.960
And I'm like, how am I gonna do it?
00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:17.519
So just for a guide, I bought this on Amazon, it's just that kind of medical tape, I think.
00:33:17.599 --> 00:33:19.759
Actually, I think they use it for lash extensions.
00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:25.279
It was just this beautiful tape, but not like because everyone thinks don't use actual sticky tape.
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:26.160
Yes, it is.
00:33:26.960 --> 00:33:32.160
The real sticky tape removes makeup and it can actually, you know, affect people's skin as well.
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:34.240
So that one's really safe for the skin.
00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:37.920
It's not too sticky where it's gonna remove actual makeup.
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:53.920
It's the best, and it's and it's so small that it just fits in the little line there, and it kind of gives me a guide on someone's eye that I'll go, oh, you're a bit not really a typical wingliner eye, it just makes sure that it's perfect and I can put things on it, and yeah, it's great.
00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:54.559
Amazon.
00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:55.920
I think it was like, I don't know,$4.
00:33:56.400 --> 00:33:58.559
Like those little things are key as well.
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:01.119
But I do have real sticky tape in my kit.
00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:16.800
Okay, only if I'm using shimmers and glitters, and I want to remove the glitter and shimmer, but I wouldn't put it there because the sticky can actually be reactive for some people, like sensitive, and also it's too sticky, and I feel like it removes the foundation and everything.
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:18.079
That that doesn't remove anything.
00:34:18.320 --> 00:34:18.639
Love that.
00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:19.039
Yeah.
00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:20.800
All right, so that's it.
00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:22.480
I mean that's it, I think.
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:23.039
Love it.
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:26.000
So now we're gonna put some of the products into play.
00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:28.159
We've got our wonderful model Kate with us.
00:34:28.320 --> 00:34:28.719
Yes.
00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:30.719
And we're gonna live demo.
00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:31.840
Live demo.
00:34:32.079 --> 00:34:32.880
How exciting.
00:34:33.119 --> 00:34:35.519
This is a new this is one you need to get to YouTube for.
00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:36.880
All right, let's go do it.
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:37.599
Let's do it.
00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:43.199
Thanks for joining me today on the Makeup Insider.
