Recreating + Reacting To My First Video Ever!

people today I am here to recreate my first video ever what what is that I've been getting requests to do a video like this for the longest time now and um to be honest with you I was kind of scared cuz mama life isn't always this time seven or eight years ago my channel but in all seriousness today I am here to look back to my first video I posted on YouTube here ever that has been 7 to 8 years ago lot a lot of things have changed in 7 to 8 years and a month ago when I plan to winter wonder week I had this video planned for today and I woke up this morning to 6 million and I woke up this morning to 6 million followers here on YouTube and my mind is blown I like I can't even handle or process what is happening here like how full circle is that that I have this video planned a month ago and now today when I have this video planned looking back to the past and I had 6 million folders this is so surreal to me thank you so much I love you so much so yeah looking back to my first video ever I love how it started with a black screen it's like it's a surprise oh that accent OH first of all girl that angle girl that everything so this was recorded 7 to 8 years ago and when I look back to my first video I see a very insecure young girl who has been through a lot and has no idea what is supposed to happen to her later on in her life but I got bullied so much for my height I'm 62 and when you're a kid and you're anything but normal you are weird and you get bullied on so I got bullied a lot for my height for my weight for my face it made me so insecure and it made me so of myself almost that I when I started rolling into YouTube and the makeup community it was sort of like my it was like my alter ego I could put all this makeup on and become this invincible untouchable fierce and strong woman that I never could be in real life and when I look back at this very insecure little face right here I wish I was there to tell her that you know everything was gonna be all right oh girl you know yo ass girl get wrinkles what am i doing oh I love how I almost have an English accent and my dear George circular motion Oh Barry and I love that brand back in the day I also think it's so funny that I went for a green look I have never been a huge huge or like green fan so for me to do my first video with green eye shadows like girl what were you thinking makeup had the ability to show me that you know I didn't have to be that bullied girl who was so insecure and like not feeling herself at all and I could be the strong woman as soon as I dusted that powder on and created this crease I just I felt invincible and that is what makes makeup so beautiful to me it's not just the makeup art it's the part of transforming yourself and feeling yourself and feeling strong and invincible and like nothing can touch you because you have your armor on and it's not like oh my got to wear a layer upon layer upon layer no but it's like this armor of confidence and that is what makes makeup so beautiful and amazing to me and that makes it so much more than just makeup thank you for always allowing me to be myself and for always allowing me to go a little hand with makeup every now and then but you always were there having my back supporting me show me warmth you love and I literally grew up on YouTube I was 14 years old I'm 22 now I can't imagine what kind of person I would have been today without YouTube because it made me stronger it made me more confident and it made me feel good about myself you made me feel good about myself alright so enough blabber I'm gonna go right onto recreating this look right here I took inspiration from it and applied the techniques that I know of today and try to make it modern and of this time of this Nicki right now that feels so much better about herself but we've come a lot especially those brows girl we've come a long way I definitely encourage you tweeting your favorite gurus who've been around for a while to do this as well yeah without any further ado if you would like to know how 28 Nicki looks like 2016 Nicki makeup look then keep on watching all right so here we both are what a freaky difference oh my god all right baby show me what you got all right so I already did my base and eyebrows because I always thought more Lina makeup geek do her brows and base before filming so to me that was what I had to do so I don't quite remember what I did for foundation or all that stuff I do know that my brows were a hot mess what are these eyebrows girl what you doing I will not be be creating this beautiful brow a break and judging by this photo I had no freaking clue what foundation was I see all that redness I see all those pimples coming through all right you know what let's do a little dora the explorer here as always the first thing I'm using is exactly to help blending later on I'm gonna grab this Mac powder to set my crease and brow bone area this is in the color emphasized I'm gonna hop into my morphe 35o I'll matte palette and taking this color as a transition color in my crease and if there's one thing I wish I knew sooner it is a transition color this has really lifted my makeup game to the next level because everything just looks so much more blended and perfected now going in this color right here to build definition on the outer corners and I'm doing this mainly to shape my eye more I have hooded eyes and seven years ago my eyes used to be even more hooded because I have such a huge forehead it kind of lifted my eyes up with it a little bit so I am thankful for that but I've definitely learned that placing definition on the outer corners is really gonna lift it all I remember using this green pigment by gosh from the drugstore for the green on the inner third of my lid looking back now that had no pigment whatsoever I'm going in with this awesome amazing beautiful insane I shadow by makeup geek this is called limelight and this is going on the inner third of my lid this is everything I always bring my lid colors way up to mimic a bigger eye for the center of the living Ong into this Cosette green shadow right here this is this is really pretty and now going in with Mac's Femina waar to deepen that outer corner even more for the outer corner of my lower lash line and going back in with that darker Brown we applied in the crease and I love how nowadays I'm not afraid to go down with my eye shadow on the lower lash line before I would use to keep it really small or nothing at all but now I smoke it out baby from there I'm going on with the color that I also use as my transition color in the crease and to really open up my hooded eyes what I love doing is blinding my inner corners today going in with the jus a highlighter in the color ice for an extra touch of yumminess and going into this makeup geek eyeshadow in the color epic and use this as a smudged out liner and lastly for lashes i'll be using Lily lashes Miami I was
