what that looks like after 24 hours click somewhere in the screen I'll have it up or I'll put it in the description box below not gonna wear this for 24 hours but I am putting it on my face right now oh you see keep that see those little frizzies am I just gonna no am I just no oh maybe a little bit oh I'm gonna regret that oh I already hate myself I'm picking up that foundation on a beauty sponge and I'm just gonna start tapping it in up and down movements make sure you stay tuned towards the end of this video for a special giveaway where I'll be giving away a little bit of Shmoney in these rough times look how Flawless that is look how good you want to make sure that you blend the foundation all the way to every little corner that is visible on your face so if you have your hairline you kind of want to smudge it into the hairline a little bit so it's traceless you never want it to look like you're wearing a mask oh my kidding my Foundation always looks like a mask forehead or in my case what I do with the forehead is I focus most of the product like on the center and then I just kind of bring it up oh boy now it's time for concealer and I have two options so it's up to you maybe you have one of these laying around I have the elf 16 hour camo concealer really like that one but this is a newer one if you're loving this one too this is by makeup Revolution it is a 16 hour wear conceal and Define a lot of you guys know the conceal and defined concealers but thave a new one infinite makeup Revolution it is and I'm using the color C2 foreign a little bit I'm Gonna Bake My under eyes and set my entire face using the fit me loose powder in 05 by Maybelline okay I'm gonna go off camera for a little bit and do my brows um I did a brow tutorial not too long ago and I'm using the Maybelline brow ultra slim defining pencil this is up there with Anastasia Beverly Hills uh the benefit precisely my brow like this feels like high-end makeup in my humble opinion one of the best eyebrow pencils on the market so I'm going to be using this to fill out my brows and then I'll be back browser done brows are looking luscious and sharp and now it is time for a soft Ultra glam makeup look so I've done a soft glam makeup tutorial before and it was mainly focusing on a lot of matte Shades and today I want to channel that same Vibe but add a little bit more Glam and more Sparkle this right here is the LA girl Pro Artistry eyeshadow palette in the Killer I don't know the name but it is this one with these sort of like neutral Shades in it so what I want to be doing is create that soft Smoky Haze that Smoky lash line and then a pop of Shimmer on the lid before we apply any Shadow though we have two Optimus Prime we have to Prime that eyelid to make sure that all the hard work that we're putting in is Gonna Last and a nice and affordable trick for that is just picking up your concealer and using that as a base once your eyelid is primed it is time for the first Shadow and the first color I want to go in with feels like this shade right here all right I'm picking up that shade and I'm stamping it into the crease and we're going all the way in so from Outer to Inner Corner we are defining that crease and I'm just stamping that color onto that concealer base because that way the pigment is really going to adhere to the sticky concealer almost acting like a magnet and with that same brush whatever is left on the brush I start diffusing the harsh Edge by making soft circular Motions like this then on a more fluffy brush you just want to fluff that color into the front of the brow this is going to give you that beautiful sculpted look at the nose region on the lid I don't know why but this color is speaking to me so I want to pick that up on a brush and put it down on my lid but a little bit further up because you want to keep very close to the Lash line clear for dark smokiness oh my God L.A girl said hi doing Saturn quarantine season here let's cheer you up there's a little bit of Fallout on the face where we're just going to get rid of that but oh yes okay that right there that what's happening on the lid right now oh that was exactly what I was looking for so now it is time to smoke out the Lash line because one of the key features of soft Glam is a smoky lash line so I'm going in with this chalk lady Brown here and we're going to town by the way I do want to take this moment to address all your sweet messages for my mom my mom got really really sick about a week and a half ago and because we ran out of tests for everybody here in the Netherlands tonly test the elderly or people in severe conditions on the virus tdidn't test my mom so we never got like a 100 like yes you have it but she had all the symptoms and even the doctors said you pretty much have it you just we cannot give you a test right now so she had to go back home and rest and get well and Mama tutorials is finally doing a bit better very slowly and that's one thing she definitely mentioned is that this virus takes extremely long to get rid of out of your system she coughed a lot she was very tired her lungs were a problem but very slowly she's crawling back up and she even dressed up wore a little bit of makeup a couple of days ago and it made her feel even though she was exhausted because of it it made her feel so powerful so thank you for your well wishes and I just want to let you know that Mama tutorials as Mila chokes on The Fallout of this palette but I just want to let you know that Mama tutorials is slowly getting better and of
