CURRENT BROW ROUTINE: Natural, Fluffy Brows + DIY Grooming

So I was definitely overdue for an updated brow routine/tutorial! Here's what I've been doing to get that "fluffy" blow look and also how I maintain them at home.. since many of us will have to do that right now lol. *estheticians, plz don't come for me*

you guys are welcome back so today's video is going to be an updated routine so I've been doing my eyebrows a little bit differently recently and you guys have been noticing so I wanted to do an update a video because they feel like it's been like 3 years or something like that since I did a brow tutorial anyways in this video on the guys how I groom them at home which I thought was perfect timing considering all of like the brow salons right now are really close. At least they are New York state I'm not sure about other states right now but in light of recent events maybe now is a good time to learn how to groom them at home so I'm obviously not a professional if you are an esthetician or whatever you're probably going to cringe at this video but I'm just going to be sharing with you guys what works for me and I know sometimes I feel like watching an amateur is more helpful than watching a professional because professionals are very like I don't know sometimes it just like what can you go back I'm not understanding cuz they're just they know exactly what they're doing and sometimes it just harder to follow I don't know if that makes sense but like I said I'm not a professional this is just what works for me so many sharing Envy grooming and then also how I feel them in and get this kind of like fluffy braulick which I've been very into it's very like supermodel like and I've been loving it so that's what we're doing today also I wanted to say really quickly at that I have had my brows laminated in the past by elimination is super early trending right now and at the end of the video I touch on and do like a little mini review and my thoughts on it if you guys have been wanting an update on that make sure to stay tuned to the end of the video for more info and yeah I'll just get started with grooming and I have been waxing my eyebrows at home for literally like over 15 years I've been doing it so every once in awhile like when I go to get my eyelashes lifted or I go to get my brows laminated I will have my girl like to touch up my brows and just and while I'm there but otherwise in between that I do all of my own maintenance so I do have several videos on my Channel showing how I use this Sally Hansen wax strip kit but right now I feel like it's a good time to re-share it and refresh you guys because I still loved it and yeah so we'll see it in here okay so it seems as though they have decided to redesign my favorite product and change it completely so yeah I picked up a box of this like not too long ago cuz I knew I was running low on my old box I feel like one box last me like years I had last night really long time so anyways they decided to redo this so I guess we will try to use these strips normally they're like clear plastic ones but I got to ask you these now okay what else is in here I guess they also have numbing wipes I am a grown-ass woman to keep those white like twee zing hurts more than waxing and then they have these which normally comes with a little bottle of the finishing oil this is weird Okay well I guess this will be a brand-new tutorial because I am not familiar with the man take one of the smaller stripped and basically what I do this is making it so difficult for me

GRWM: for no reason *social distancing edition*

hey guys welcome back so today what are we doing with our lives right now I don't know I feel so weird I feel so awkward I don't know how to start this video so we're just going to start it obviously it goes without saying the world is crazy right now and there's a weird energy going around even if you're just sitting at home

 alone like it just feels weird like I feel just strange and I don't know what to do but a lot of times in my regular life I kind of feel this way just on a different scale and a different way I feel confused and I don't know what to do when I just feel overwhelmed so when I do like that sometimes I just sit down and do my makeup and it's like therapeutic I asked on Instagram and Twitter what you guys wanted to see as far as content and if you still wanted me to make content for you guys cuz I know that it all seems a little bit frivolous and superficial but a lot of you guys said that it is escaped and is kind of therapeutic for you as well so that's what we're doing today so feel free to sit down with me and do your makeup obviously you don't have to do the same look at me I don't even know what I'm going to do to my face was going to get right into it hopefully this will be kind of just like a little break from reality a little bit of an escape and yeah I hope you guys are out there staying safe and smart and sane sane and sanitized and just try to remain calm so let's get to it would you look at that this is also a messy bun tutorial did you get that did you get that I feel like we were all born with the innate ability to create a messy bun but with a number of you guys to ask me how to do on I I I don't even know how to explain that you just do it I don't know there's like no good way to like say what I just did you just kind of I don't know anyway so for today and I'm starting off with my face and I'll be trying out this new matte primer serum from Neutrogena they came out with a bunch of new products I tried the concealer and it was a hard no for me so hopefully this goes a little bit better so this is just a little dropper serum and yogis very lightweight all right so I'm not that stinking a little bit because it is a little bit Tacky by thing today I don't think I'm going to try a new Foundation just because I don't really have any new ones to try i Funny not that many foundations are coming out right now no I don't know so I am going to be using my favorite do you are backstage face and body and it's in the shade for warm Olive and you guys know that I love this I've used it many many times and it's just one of my favorites and when I am tan I have not found another Foundation that matches my tan better than the G or range because I just do the olive tones so well if you guys have any other Foundation brands that you feel like have like really good Olive undertones feel free to share because I feel like there are not very many Brands who get it right so then I wanted to try out this new concealer from Pat Maratha so this is her skin fetish Sublime concealer and a lot of people have been raving about this and I have not tried it be coordinating foundation with a lot of people love just because the price one of these are pretty high and I don't know sometimes I don't want to try and cuz I don't want to recommend you guys trying to talk today because there seems to be a lot of hype so this is what the applicator looks like it's fairly small which I kind of prefer bigger one but we'll see how it goes so I'm going to start after the last products because I feel like sometimes I apply way too much so weather and I already found the video one time and was not successful so if you see some random Shimmer particles on my face that is what that is about that is also why my beauty blender is already dirty cuz I just found this

how to: WINGED LINER -pencil, eyeshadow, & liquid methods for the perfect wing

so today is going to be one of the most challenging videos that I've ever had to make how do you get email because today's video is going to be extremely challenging for me I am going to be tackling how to do winged liner so

 that being said obviously you guys understand where I'm coming from because Wing liner is no easy task I don't care who you are in this world you're not immune to having a bad wind liner day like it's hard it is hard okay but I'm going to attempt to show you guys the three different techniques you guys see me where all the time using you know regular liquid liner Shadow and also a pencil so you can do like a very precise Wing or a smudgy wing or like a soft diffuse when we're going to covering all those in today's video because I get questions about this all the time and sometimes I skip over it or like really fast forward it in tutorials and you guys are like weight can you please show us how to do so obviously I'm no expert I struggle with it myself so we'll see how she's video goes maybe in extreme struggle but that is life so let's get started also one thing I wanted to say is I don't know if I've always had this situation but I feel like I have hooded eyes now like I don't know if it's cuz I'm getting older and my eyes are getting saggy or what sound like that I always have these was I just doing my liner incorrectly all these years so if you want to know if you have hooded eyes are not basically what you need to do is just look at yourself in the mirror and if you have like some excess skin hear that like kind of droops down and covers up like your outer crease then you have put it as so this guy is a little bit more hooded than this one if you can see you like this one doesn't have as much saggy skin so you need to definitely just look at your anatomy and figure out if you have hooded eyes I don't know how I didn't really know what hooded eyes were all this time considering I've been on YouTube for so long but now that I do it is helpful because sometimes when you have hooded eyes your winged liner will look good when you're like looking down but then it disappears and then it's like where did all that work go so today we are going to be tackling the liner rambling and we're going to get into the first technique which is with a pencil so like a cream pencil gel pencil whatever you want to call it but this is my favorite pencil in particular for doing this technique so this is the Covergirl perfect point plus eyeliner this is in the shade espresso and has a Twist up liner on the side and then the other side has this little angled smudger which makes your life so much easier

makeup brush essentials (high end + drugstore)

hey guys welcome back so today's video we are talking about one of these top most important parts of makeup and that is how we apply our makeup and that has so I always get a lot of questions about Russia's and using what I'm doing my makeup and I needed to do an updated version because I have a lot of different brushes that I've been using and you guys have been wondering what they are and I'm so mad about the same Thumpstar wanted to run them all up into a video 

so I have some handy handy dandy little play my brushes I will be the first to admit that says do not be before we get into all the russias I quickly wanted to mention she was my favorite things to use and when I actually do clean them the first is this elf solid Bunch cleaner I'm really good about cleaning my beauty sponges because I just used them so much and it's so easy to say no to this is a little cold type of bar of soap and you just take it out get everything out of your super clean so I love that and then when I do actually washing brushes I either you to disobey or I just use micellar water so micellar water the way it's one thing I know I don't know what it is but it is like a magnet for like dirt and grime so I will use that and with regular water or I would use dish soap you clean my brushes that's how it's done and I just sit at the same for 7000 let's talk about when you're like getting into makeup at you're wondering why it looks so shity most the time it's going to be at your garage with your brush needs to be your best friend and used to help you not hinder you so I feel like finding good. Schs it's always a struggle is trial and error and you know the more that you try the more that you learn about them and see what you like so you might not have seen the old man that are still available for you guys to go out there just so some of these are little bit more and then I will move on but first let's talk about sponges here today these are both from the drugstore so they are affordable I feel like I miss dannie's are so many alternatives to the original Beauty blender which is like 20 something dollars that just doesn't make sense so this one right here is from Elf you guys is going to use this a lot I think it's just a few dollars and maybe $3 by Dollar something like that and it's really good they have a few different sponges but this is my favorite one from Elf just looks like this minus Thirty I just dropped on the floor as well as our dog care on it that's so I like that it has this flat as over here and it's very squishy I personally don't like my bun just SuperDuper wet when I'm using them I don't know why I just kind of have always been like that but I will say I will fill it with water skis out as much water as I can and then I will spray it with a setting spray or beauty three of them to work before I use it because a lot of the times after I apply I think I would just go in with the flat Edge and really depressed everything in so I really like this one and then the other one is very new to me but I am as fast as I just went out and purchased a backup of this I mentioned it in my February This and like I said in that video I love that I had this really pointy tips and get right in there and that's a little crevice because I have really dark Miss right in here so when I'm doing my concealed I really need to blend it in there so this one is still good and it like that has these flat edges so you can really use this to set under your eyes you can use it to bake cuz it has that flat as you can do that to clean up any Contour the edge of your eyeshadow was just such a good sponge and again it's not too poor as it's not too stiff these two are my top two favorite Beauty sponges of the moment next let's move on to Foundation brushes
