Now for those of you who are new here you should know that my 11 year anniversary is coming up I've been doing the entire YouTube game for 11 years at the end of June and it inspired me to kind of look back and see what changed. I want to take a trip down memory lane and look at my techniques, look at my products that I loved using and just look at what I was like in 2014 And I'm doing so in a little challenge called the "Then versus Now" makeup challenge And it's literally where you go back in time and You show on one side of your face what you used to do like technique-wise, product wise, What your face used to look like back in the day Versus your current techniques, your current favorite products and what you really like to do with your style nowadays I'm going back to the year 2014 to the month of July where I uploaded a bright rainbow eye makeup look and I know that especially In the eyes department, my techniques have really shifted and I want to see what I used to do So prepare for a lot less lip filler different teeth and a way more insecure little Nikki and let's go back in time Okay, this should be interesting especially since we're starting off with the base and I know that especially in the base department I've come a long way, like a ver- Like a long way. I'm looking at the video called "Summer sunset smokey cat eyes makeup tutorial" Like use all the keywords you can girl. Today. I'm gonna go for my face and body by Mac in C1 and to give that a little bit more coverage here and there… [Nikkie] WHAT?! I'm gonna slap on a little bit of the Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation Stick in 0 Porcelain. [Nikkie] GIRL where's the primer? A BRUSH?! Oh I don't think so honey. Okay. There are a whole lot of plot twists going on right now first of all, no primer second of all one of the most Sheer coverage foundations in my entire collection and then also applying with a brush I have found the foundation combination. First off, the face of body foundation by Mac. This is AMAZING if you're doing portfolio work if you're doing like high-fashion makeup because you want the skin to look like SKIN, and then wherever I need more coverage, I said I'm going in with the Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation Stick and I'm in the color Zero, okay, so let's not prime and dive straight in and I'm just gonna start tapping this on [whispers] That's horrible And as you can see that gives you No coverage at all. Can't wait. Hold on for just one second. There is no change It just looks wet on this side. Nothing changed I mean clearly I wasn't loving myself because I gave myself nothing to work with here. This is Shine. Now, I need to remind myself not to, you know kind of shift into my new habits. I need to apply this Like I would back in the day. Oh girl. Why a brush? You're not Lisa Eldridge! Okay time for concealer We're gonna be using Mac Pro Longwear in NC 15 Okay, okay pro longwe- [whispers] OMG please tell me you still- OH YESS Okay, how did I apply that? WITH A BRUSH?! [insert shocked pikachu face] [gasping] STOP WHY A BRUSH I remember using this combination Frequently and thinking I don't know why my makeup isn't holding up Well, first of all girl, where's your primer? Second of all girl, this foundation is not for you, honey It is not for your skin. So after, I'm setting my face using this Chanel "Universal Libre" loose powder in 20 Claire and I used this for years upon years. Now thank the Lords of makeup We're in the present makeup days and it's time for a full coverage beat. First, primer and I need a hardcore primer that is gonna have my face looking nice All day long until I decide I want my makeup to go away For foundation, the more coverage the better, so I'm going in with the Juvia's Place "I Am Magic" Foundation in "Bali". Oh yes. Oh honey. I'm hooome For concealer I am using the Juvia's Place "I Am Magic" Concealer in number 22 and I definitely Am not afraid to like really amp it up Underneath my eyes guys. Nothing beats Blending in your base products with a sponge. It just for me, it hides the appearance of my pores It makes the foundation and the skin become one. It just creates this like flawless Illusion that I love so much when it comes to makeup And then of course I'm setting using my holy grail powder Fenty Beauty "Butter" I know from back in the day, I would line my brows So I would place a line underneath, a line at the top I would fill in everything in between using a Paint Pot Put some clear brow gel on and carve out the bottom and call it a day And to me that was like the perfect brow. IT WASN'T. You know nowadays I give myself a fuller looking brow. I give myself individual hairs at the front Like I have a full- Like if I could write a novel about how I do my brows nowadays I would so I remember going in with a taupe-y shadow and just lining. Literally putting two lines Now I would fill this in using a paint pot by Mac in the color "Taylor gray" and I would just fill this in and brush it in and That's it [high-pitched] OOOH MY GAWDDDD My brows have come such a long way and I thought I was killing the game And then I would carve them out using my Mac Pro Longwear concealer That is sad. That is, compared to how much love I put in my brows nowadays, this is This is sad. This is even more sad than the final episode of Game of Thrones. This is- this is heartbreaking So just for the sake of shock value I'm just gonna do my other brow off camera now so you can see the vast difference in one second Get ready for a brow glow up in three two one Tada, this is everything my heart desires when it comes to my brows And this is it's just not that there's necessarily anything wrong with it. It's just This is like the full fantasy and this is like dreaming about having a fantasy. Alright time to move on to the eyes now if you've been an OG follower you know that Mac soft ochre Paint Pot used to be one of the sentences I would say in every single video for years upon years upon years upon years I wouldn't literally get comment saying the day you stop wearing soft ochre Paint Pot is the day You stop doing makeup and I have departed from soft ochre so much that I don't have it in my collection right now Guys I'm gonna be so real with you. I'm scared I don't know if I can still do shadows the way I used to do them because I have created this technique now That I know works for my eye shape. I know what kind of shape really works for my eye shape I know how to enhance and when I look back at this video, I'm going in with my first lid shade Lids first, crease after. This is insanity. So I remember the sugarpill shadows being my everything back in the day I mean look at how much of the pan is showing up. I- Always use these when I wanted a bright shade Because I feel like these w
