Drugstore Vs High End Makeup Tutorial | Back To School!

you for watching oh how I missed you guys I feel like it's been forever since I've been sitting down and filming a video for you guys but today I'm back and I figured since back-to-school is literally right around the corner I apologize for those of you that still have to go back so I figured for today's video I was going to do something a little bit different I'm gonna do half of my face drugstore and then the other half higher-end and hopefully that way you guys can see that if you find the right drugstore products you can really recreate any look that I've used in the past or any look really out there whatsoever you don't need to go out and spend all this money on makeup because guaranteed you're gonna get a very very similar look so some of these drugstore products I have not tried yet so what I figured I would do is again do half my face half my face and then kind of update you guys throughout the day and let you know how it's all holding up also before I get into today's video tomorrow is the launch of my Carli bybel collection with misguided so anyone who wasn't able to get it the first round fingers crossed that you can all get what you want tordered literally like quadruple the amount of the first round so hopefully that way everybody can get what twant so I just wanted to mention that as well but other than that let's get right into the video let me know if you guys want me to do a drugstore haul I kind of picked up like a bunch of products just because I wanted to make sure I had the right stuff to get this video completed today but um the first product that I'm going to be using is this elf poreless face primer I have not tried this one yet I have tried the NYX one the NYX poreless before and I did really liked that one but I figured let me try it for one and plus I really like elf so I wanted to use a little bit more of elf products so I'm going to do I guess my left side with the drugstore so I'm just going to apply this all over the left side of my face it kind of smells like I mean to do that kind of smells like eucalyptus a little bit I wonder if there than a eucalyptus in it as some of you know I was on vacation last week so I don't know you could tell but my whole forehead is peeling it actually doesn't look as bad now I think cuz my pan is kind of fading a little bit but it was like really bad for the first couple of days oh there's tea tree oil that's probably what I smelled in and then for the higher-end side I'm using the tarte cleanslate poreless primer i also wanted to mention that all the products and i'm using today are cruelty free so if you guys can make the effort you can find a really really great product that are not tested on animals so that has also been another thing that i've been not struggling with but it's been about finding new products that i really like that are cruelty free and swapping out all of my non cruelty free items like for instance if i were to film this video last year i probably would have used a lot of like l'oreal and Maybelline and all that and today I went to the store and I just only wanted to get anything cruelty free so I picked up some owl some NYX and also um Physicians Formula I also know that Milani is cruelty free tdidn't sell it at the Harmons that I was at though it's nice to make an effort because I know a lot of you guys are animal lovers so if you can buy a product that is not promoting the animal cruelty why wouldn't you do it right it just makes sense so from just applying the primer I'm going to have to say that so far the tarte looks like it blurred my pores a little bit more but we shall see as far as the foundation and all of that so since this is a back-to-school look I wanted to do like a BB cream and I wanted to keep it pretty lightweight that way it's more realistic I mean for me I love layers and layers and layers that's just how I like to do my makeup but today I'm going to keep it pretty natural that way Marcus a natural because for some people natural is like one layer but um and I keep it pretty simple that's the better word so it's so funny I went and I picked out a couple foundations and also BB creams today and when I got home all of them were just way too light which is crazy and I also went into my stash of BB creams and twere all too light as well I just got really tan when we were Jamaica and luckily I had a really dark NICs tinted moisturizer so I'm gonna blend in this one is in the color almond and I'm going to mix that in with the NYX BB cream I don't think I've ever had this problem that I can't find peace well that calf just fell on the floor and got all over my floor but the best part about my floors in my Beauty room is that tare tile so it's tile that looks like wood so if anything spills on it it wipes right up which is literally perfect for me so after mixing it it's basically the closest I think I'm going to get to my skin tone but with everything else that I'm going to be applying if it's not perfect it's okay so I'm just going to dot that onto my face and when you're finding a BB cream or anything that matches your skin just always match it to your chest that way when you blend it on your face in your neck it's not going to be a different color now I have my damn Beauty Blender and I'm just gonna push it into my skin I always like using BB creams when I was in school because they're a lot lighter on your skin especially when it's still warm out like September maybe a little bit of October it's still gonna be pretty warm and then for the higher-end SIA I'm going to be using the Tarte Amazonian clay weepy cream this one is definitely one of my favorites this is a little lighter but but again we'll make it all work I owe you guys a smoothie recipe video don't think I forgot because I did it so next I'm just gonna contour my nose I'm going to use the la girl Pro conceal this is my all-time favorite nose contour products like ever so I'm not going to use a higher-end product because I never personally use a higher-end product to contour so again this part is also optional most people don't contour their nose on a daily basis for like a natural look but for me personally I feel more comfortable with my nose contoured so I'm just going to do that really quick with again the LA girl Pro conceal and beautiful bronze I believe these they're like 2 or 3 dollars so before I blend the nose in I'm going to conceal I'm going to be using on the drugstore side the la girl Pro conceal and creamy beige I'm just going to apply this like right under my eyes a little bit there um and yeah what I'll just do this for the center because I can't really split it and then a little bit on your chin and like a little bit up there and then for the higher-end side I'm using the NARS creamy concealer in the color ginger this one's my favorite so get a little bit under the eyes on the chin a little bit up here it should be good I also have the pro conceal in
