SPEAKER_01We have Kate, Michael, and me, Vanessa. We're gonna do a little makeup.
SPEAKER_02We are! So you saw some of the kit favourites. I know you came halfway through and oh, I'm learning so much. I've got so many kit favourites, but let's put some of them to the test and put them on the face of it. Amazing. Now, skin prep, it's a bit boring to show. I think we all know skin
Skin Prep — Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream
SPEAKER_02prep, but what I use the most is the Charlotte Toby Magic Cream. If you don't know, it just got reformulated back in June this year. So if you're using an old one from a year ago, it's the old magic cream. Still good, but this one's got peptides, nice cinamides. It's actually a bit more of a skincare makeup prep cream, but you can see the glow it gives. That's just magic cream. It is beautiful on the skin. It leaves a film, but not a film that's going to be peeling. Because as you're Vanessa, some skincare products, if it's a proper skincare brand, like a Rationale or a skincare brand, I don't recommend it to use for skin prep because sometimes the film will go on the skin. You put foundation, you start rubbing, and it all peels. Magic cream is designed especially for foundation, that's why I use it. But for me it's the glow. Hello, look, so that's on. That's on first. Now
Tarte Ballin Primer
SPEAKER_02we talked about the ball primer. Tarte have these primers. There's a bronze version, a pearl, and this one's just the clear. It's got little balls on it. How exciting. So you press it up. Now, because it's a mattifying primer, the clear one, the pearls more glowy, obviously, if you've got a dry skin, and then the bronzer's obviously bronzy. I just get a little bit out, and then I use it on the centre of the face. But I find that it's quite, I've used it on a few clients because I've only had this in the kit one month. It's quite a new product for Tarte. I just use it on these areas. It also gives a bit of a massage. We love that. But it is also getting that mattifying primer on the areas that you want.
SPEAKER_01I feel like you can see it. I can see that it's matted that down. Yeah, once it dries down.
SPEAKER_02How does it feel on the skin? The little balls, the balls. Ballin, the ballin primer. You saw how I used it. I only use it in these areas here because that's only where I want mattifying. I don't want mattifying on the areas there. But does it actually feel nice? Or does it feel weird having these little silver balls on the face?
SPEAKER_01It's good.
SPEAKER_02You could really do a whole lymphatic drainage of that, but I only use it in the centre because I want the mattifying.
SPEAKER_01How do the looks in?
SPEAKER_02Of course. Touch and play. Touch those little silver balls.
SPEAKER_01Oh, it does feel lovely.
SPEAKER_02I did a client recently really early morning. Now it's windy at the moment, it's just, oh, they're quite cold. But imagine on a hot day when your skin's a bit warm, it'd be great as a primer. Now, next, I
Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter
SPEAKER_02know we all know the Hollywood Fallers filter. It's been in my kit so long that the packaging's rubbed off. I don't use the jupe because a dupe version looks good at first, but what I've found is it does not last as long, and later on in the day, the kind of glowiness of it, it goes a bit catchy on certain skins. This one's got a lot more skincare properties in it. So, in my experience, doing brides and photo shoots and things like that, I think it lasts. Again, it's not just about glow for me, it's also a blurring primer.
SPEAKER_01I agree.
SPEAKER_02And I really like to use it right under the eye here where a dark circle goes because already you can probably see it reflects light. So anyone that's got a dark circle, bring the beautiful Hollywood filter where you want the glow. Obviously, you can probably see that on camera, but right under the eye, and then above the lip, centre of the nose, centre of forehead, a little bit on the chin, but some chins get really oily. So ask your client, and then same thing, bringing that one on the highlight bone. And I do love it. Some people use it as a foundation, I don't know how because it's so glowy. Like to me, that's a disco ball, yeah. But I like that it just gives that real glowiness under the foundation. So any foundation I put on is now gonna have this beautiful glow, and I do find it reflects light on a shadow under the eye. What do you think? Sorry, Delhi, I really got excited then. What do you think, Vanessa?
SPEAKER_01I love that.
SPEAKER_02Approval for Vanessa?
SPEAKER_01And you know what? I love how you talked about well, it's not the same.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, when you I do follow some people on Instagram that really go through the dupes and the pros and cons, and one girl's more about the actual ingredients. She's I think she's got some kind of pharmaceutical background. She talks through the ingredients, go, that's why shallops last longer, that's why your skin looks better if shallots, because it's got more skincare in it. And the she listed ingredients that should be lower in the section, whereas in Enco Beauty or other juke brands, it goes really high, and that's why it looks good at first, it doesn't last. Yeah, so you can't beat it. You know, I cannot do a makeup now without the airbrush flawless. Yes, but I just received literally yesterday in the mail
Make Up For Ever HD Foundation
SPEAKER_02the new HD from Makeup Forever. I love these little lips on there, look how cute they are. I have heard so much about the HD foundation, I've never used it. Have you used it? No, I've never used it. This is the new version because I think it got redone last year or something. It's a new HD, Makeup Forever. I haven't used it. I think it's medium, but you can obviously build. Yeah. My usual one is this because that got reformatted last year, and most of my clients have made carpet events, so I just think it lasts for 10-12 hours. Let's have to give it a go. And guys, this is my first time, so if it doesn't look good, we can take it off. But I think with colour match, it only sent me two shades, right? So I've only got two shades to but I reckon let's give it a go. The hourglass. I don't know why, just love hourglass. I don't like big foundation brushes, I like small. Definitely an angle because most of the foundation will apply on that part of the brush. And blend. But then when you flick and sweep, apply, blends, apply, blends. So you get two applications there. Let's give it a go. This is 222N, N for neutral. What about you and your kit? I'm such a neutral person, are you? Yeah. Or would you like a bit of warm and stuff?
SPEAKER_01I do prefer a neutral, I think.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I only now you've got a bit of colour actually. You touch light, but I reckon let's just use it because from where I'm standing, it's blending away. It smells nice.
unknownSmells really nice.
SPEAKER_01I really think it's perfect.
SPEAKER_02So I'm using small amounts, guys, because I have not done this before. It's a brand new foundation. But I've heard so much and seen it. Oh, it actually looks beautiful.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, wow.
SPEAKER_02HD foundation. So this is great, especially if you're an artist doing lots of camera work. Look at that. It actually is more realistic, like the skin-like. I don't know if you can see that, but for my view, it looks like your skin just more even than the other side. So this is good. But back to the neutral story, right? You know how Hung Van Gogh has just launched his foundation range, and every single shade is neutral. There's no pinks, no warms. At first, I was like, oh, that's weird because some people do need it, but then I looked at myself, and in my kit I only have neutrals because it's just easier to match someone's skin tone. So I was wondering what you do.
SPEAKER_01I'm still hung up on this. This actually I know. That's insane.
SPEAKER_02It's actually giving okay, the Charlotte one gives coverage more like visual coverage, but still looks natural. This one, I'm seeing coverage, but I'm also seeing lots of skin.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it's just a really nice protection. Yeah, and it's not clinging to anything.
SPEAKER_02It's beautiful. Yeah. And of course, no peeling nothing, because I use the magic cream. And I don't, you don't have to use magic cream. I also sometimes use this actually under the makeup from the turium. That's a beautiful product. That's just no actives, no vitamin C, no retinol, no nothing that's gonna act like make your skin sensitive, just peptide. But that's great under makeup. Think of makeup needs something to bond, right? Skin needs like the foundation just can't go on a bare skin, it will look dry and go into pores. Just get something that fills in the skin, feels a bit tacky, no residue. Don't use rich oil-based occlusive creams there for night. Use things light, which is why I like magic, and it makes the foundation so beautiful.
SPEAKER_01Oh guys, I'm actually really.
SPEAKER_02And there was nothing in the bag because when something's not launched, often the PR or the brand will say this launches on this date, but this didn't have anything of that, so it must already be in there. It is gorgeous. And I have seen lots of makeup artists start transitioning to this foundation.
SPEAKER_01I can see why now.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it's so nice. I wonder how it goes with everyone's skin and skin type.
SPEAKER_01But apparently, so I've heard it's good on everybody. I mean, look at that. And I've heard that from multiple makeup artists. Yes, even like some really tough critics, to be honest. Because some people, you know what I mean? Like some people you follow on Instagram, they really, you know, yeah, I love a tough critic personally.
SPEAKER_02Look, I have been seeing lots of people angry about double wear being discontinued. Not sorry, not discontinued, but I was over double wear because I was one of the originals, because I worked for Lauder back in 2002, 2003, so a long time ago, but double wear was like the king of foundations, it was number one in every retailer. I don't forget when I say that. So old. We didn't have Sephora back then. It was Maya, David Jones, and pharmacies. It was number one, yeah. The number one foundation. I got over it, it's too thick for me.
SPEAKER_01But I'm not a fan of double wear, I can't.
SPEAKER_02People love NARS. You love NARS?
SPEAKER_01Oh, I like the new, I like the new foundation. Yeah, long wear. But I don't, okay, I don't love a long wear foundation. That's right. Long wear foundation is the only long wear foundation that I will wear on myself because it's quite fine in texture, it's quite blurry because I'm not sure.
SPEAKER_02I'm just so used to long wear because of the jobs I do, they need to last for hours, TV shows and stuff. But I also love the YSL All Hours. Have you tried that?
SPEAKER_01I haven't, but I that's beautiful.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I'd love to try that. But this it's given me, think about a double wear or my airbrush flawless, and luminous silk had a baby. Yeah, because luminous silk is so beautiful. We all love luminous silk. This is giving me luminous silk vibes, but just a bit more coverage. Yeah, I love it. Oh.
SPEAKER_01I just and it also looks really good on camera because I don't like something that's too glowy either. Glow in the wrong places isn't always the best.
SPEAKER_02For the jobs that I do, I actually don't do that much. As I said, I glow underneath the skin. So when we turn the cheap, look at that beautiful glow. It's coming from within though, yeah. So it looks like your skin. If you put highlighters on top and glow on top, that's when it can start looking artificial. I love this, but it actually looks really good. I'll be interesting to see how it wears, which we can't really do in this video. But it is stunning, and that was literally true, guys. I've never tried it before, it was brand new.
SPEAKER_01What colour is that?
SPEAKER_02222 neutral.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_02Sunstone. So they only sent me two shades, and thank god one of them was more shade. Yeah, it looks great, and you can bring it down to the neck. The brush I love, as you can see, I sweep a lot, but once I get it on, then I can stipple and dab, and you can get more coverage by stippling and dabbing, but I start centre and work out. I never apply a foundation straight here, straight there, or straight there, because it has nowhere to go, right? Coverage should be concentrated here and then spread out. Beautiful. Now I know some people don't use foundation under the eye because it can move and crease. I only use it, a tiny little sponge. I only use it in this part though. I don't use it on an active area, active meaning expression. I only use it just here just so it really does blend in and a bit close point, just a little bit on the lid. Because I don't mind when the lid's got a bit of colour there. Yeah. Because it can create a bit of a shadow.
SPEAKER_01Oh, you mean like natural colour? Yeah, the natural shadow.
SPEAKER_02Because if you block everything out, you have to really build back again. And sometimes I go, you know what, all it needs is a little buff, and I use hardly anything, like I'm actually just really blending it in. But see that side, I just blended it a little bit. Does it take out a little bit of redness?
SPEAKER_01It's ever so subtle on camera, yeah, but it's just given that little bit more brightness.
SPEAKER_02Because Kate in her everyday, she's very effortless, minimalist. Let's just be fresh, glow, tint. I can just tell, look at the beach hair, she loves it. So she's probably not like a full glam girl, right? So this is why I recommend to people sometimes you don't need to get an extra eye primer or an extra concealer to make your eyeshadow last. Just put a little bit of foundation, but when I say little bit, a little bit. Because if you put too much, it'll all crease. So the sponge I buffed, it's gone under. Now I don't put anything physically there from like product skin, because in that area, all of us, no matter the age, skin type, we all move here expression. So I get rid of it. But see how that's uniformed at all. And you could stop there, put a bit of blush on lipstick, and you're done. Yeah. And maybe mascara. But for me, I'll go extra today because we're doing glam, but that's beautiful in its own right. Thank you, makeup forever. I'm a fan.
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Concealer
SPEAKER_02That's a Charlotte. I think every complexion product I own is Charlotte Tilbury. But this is like the actual concealer. So it's the airbrush that's full coverage. For some people, for some shoots, I don't even use foundation. I might just use this in areas of dot and then blend it all together because it's so full coverage. You literally need three dots. That's it. Anything on your skin? Not really, maybe a bit there. And your skin's beautiful. So, same thing, I've got this little tiny sponge it's actually a brand Kitology.
SPEAKER_01Oh, it's Penny's brand.
SPEAKER_02Penny's brand, but she's having a bit of a sabbatical? Yeah, sabbatical. So the brand's got because I had to buy some more and she's just not working at the moment. It's such a good little one. I love Kitology, but yeah, look at that. That's just made it really concealed in that area. And then that little spot there. So you can see now it's a bit more complete, isn't it? Than that side.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. And then this side we have a way to say a bit more complete.
SPEAKER_02Well, you can go on to your other makeup mascara, I'll show it. But for me, who normally does quite full glams, yeah, my clients are either going on television, like I did the other day, someone going on today's show. When I'm doing Farmer Wants the Wife, the host is actually on TV the whole time, or they're going to a big red carpet. Maybe it's the Melbourne carp or Logis or a big event, or they're hosting events, brand events. That's my kind of glam. So most of them are full glam because it is event glam, you know what I mean? And it's photography and red carpets. Yeah, I just had a little spot there. I thought let's just give that a little extra coverage. So I'm pinpointing small little areas. Love it. It does make a difference when you use the actual concealer, right? How's that looking? Looks amazing. But with this concealer, my best tip is less is best. That tube or wand will last me. I'm using teeny because it's so full coverage.
SPEAKER_01What colour is that?
SPEAKER_02Oh god, I can't get my eyes. This is a medium number five. Okay, medium. But they sent me in every shade. I had a box of, I think there's 40 shades. It's ridiculous. So many shades from deep tan, medium, light fair. This is medium. But I like the airbrush, all of Charlotte's airbrush products, they're blurring.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_02The setting spray, the powder, the foundation, they're blurring. Okay, now to add a bit of dimension, because now we've got glow, foundation. The next thing that I do in my makeup, do you think we will step that you do? Yeah. I do. It's like a full next, next, next, next. It's like a slow. Yeah. I wear it straight from my kids, so it's got a little it's a bit old and wear and tear.
Westman Atelier Contour
SPEAKER_02Because once again, the Westman Atelier, do you know this brand? Yes. Isn't it fabulous? I remember Gucci Westman, she actually trained me. I told you on your episode when I worked at Longcom. She was the back then in 2007, 8-9, she was the creative director for me. So I'd be phone to Paris every year. She trained me. And then now she's got her brand. She came out with Mecca last year and obviously we got gifted. It's still the same one from over a year ago. It's still going. It's it's it just is so blendable that you don't need much. So this is truffle. Ah. Biscuit I use on extremely fair skins. Keep my Nicole Kidman type clients and fair skids, otherwise it doesn't really show up.
SPEAKER_01It doesn't, does it?
SPEAKER_02But truffle is my favourite. Basically, I feel contour used to be right under the bone, like there. Contour from there used to be there, right? But a lot of people are doing it, but then they don't know how to blend and they blend too low, so it's it starts cutting in your cheek too low. It does. I feel contour is now higher. It's like on the edge. The highlight's still there, blush is there, but this is contour there. So that's where I would draw it. A little bit higher and more at the back, like that. I go higher with mine too.
SPEAKER_01I do a bit more lifting.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I brush up. Yeah. So I don't because I want that to be exposed. I don't want to be too much contour there. But this product, this is the truffle colour, as you can see, it has a nice bronzy tone. But look at the blend. Because you don't even have to try hard. Biscuit's a bit cooler, isn't it? Biscuit is cooler. Like when I was doing Rule Housewives with Sydney two years ago, my housewife was Martine, the beautiful, almost like a life-size Barbie doll. She was so blonde and fabulous. But her skin is so fair because she literally walks. This is true, she walks around with a parasol, has driving gloves, she's so against the sun, but her skin is so transparent and clear and milky that this colour was just way too orange on her. So I had to use biscuit the whole time we were filming and it looked beautiful. So biscuit's great for the fairer skin. But look at that. Gorge. Yes, I'm blending, but I'm not pressing hard, I'm not rubbing it. You know, some of them really catch on the skin. I think that is stunning. I mean, you look took to the front, you should see a little bit of a difference there. We're lucky, you've got beautiful cheek buttons, but you should see a sculpting there. Now, of course, you can go much more than that for a full glam, you can go there. But see what I mean about the application. What do you think? Because I don't I don't go any lower anymore.
SPEAKER_01No, no, I love I yeah.
SPEAKER_02Okay, let's do this side. Yeah, I'm finding contours really change in application. Sorry, Ian starting, yeah, because I used to go under the bone. I would have gone there, too low. Yeah, but I feel like now we're like, no, lift.
SPEAKER_01I feel like it goes where bronzer is.
SPEAKER_02Yes, but I also think we're not trying to sculpt as much anymore and be like sucked in cheekbones and that gaunt look face. We're actually looking at that lifting, yes, and I quite like that messaging. Even some of the content creators and influencers that obviously I'm like, do you know what you're talking about? Are you trained? But I must admit, most of the messaging is positive. Let's lift our faces, not sculpt them. So that's why I feel that our contouring is has gone higher, it's not lower anymore, it's right there, and then building up into the cheekbone. So this is the truffle steel. I'm just using excess around the temple and hairline, but it's so blendable. Yeah, it just melts, it just melts, and that's why I think I've had it for so long because I'm not using you know those liquid ones. The product there's so much liquid coming out of them. I think you waste a lot. Whereas that's a cream stick, I feel like it's yeah, it's so easy to blend. Yeah, look at that, and of course, you can bring it a little bit higher here if you want more of that bronzed look. Some people at the moment love more bronze, so you could even do a little touch there just to get, you know. But before Vanessa, I was talking about my favourite blush. And we can do that next. In a minute, but you know how I said
Haus Labs Bronzer
SPEAKER_02house slides blushes are my favourite because of the yeah. Also, they do have bloody good bronzer. Oh now, I was always Charlotte Tilby bronzer.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Before that was Mark Jacob's Beauty, the old Mark Shaker's Beauty, and they discontinued the white coconut one. I don't like sparkly, I don't like heavy, I like natural, right? The house slides bronzer. Bronzed, is that umber? Anyway, it's light. So I am loving this at the moment. I'm gonna use my little makeup to make an Amario brush. How about these brushes? So, just a little bit, because I feel like we could bronze you up a bit more. What do you think? Are you a bronze girl? You know bronze?
SPEAKER_03I get it naturally.
SPEAKER_02See how the contour gave you the shape, and like then as soon as you buff it up and amp it up with the powder bronzer. Look at that. Yeah, it's almost becoming a blush bronzer. But I love this the house last because it's not freaky. Oh, that's a lot of product, that's a lot of bronzer, there's no shimmer. I don't know why bronzers have shimmers in them because who wants a shimmer? And a bit of bronzer on the nose as where the sun would hit first, a little sun-kissed. Yeah. But see how now that just gave a little bit extra dimension. It really did just bronze us up. You can even obviously bronze the neck. The Mario brush is great because it's quite flexible but still got a nice structure to it. And don't forget, guys, everyone, no matter who you're working on, normally needs a bit of bronzer there because no one walks around with their head up. True. So it's always white there. Even if they've got brown everywhere else, don't forget that part of the neck. It's that part there.
SPEAKER_01It's just not exposed.
SPEAKER_02No, because no one walks around with their chin up. And if you do, how weird. So, yeah, what do you think? Love. House does bronzer. Love it. Now we're gonna go into
Haus Labs Glassy Blush
SPEAKER_02the star of the show. Now, the glassy, glassy blush bar. As I mentioned, there is, let's get a few out so you can see what I mean. There are so many shades, like pinks, oranges, lavenders, burgundies, browns, bronzy, like insane. But I use the ginger the most. I find glassy ginger is my favourite. Now you can either dab it onto your hand to get less. I just go straight into skin. It really does go where the highlight is. Let's see. It's almost blushing but highlighting at the same time because that's why it's called glassy. It does have a built-in highlighter and it does give you that blushy look. It's not super, super high pigment like a powder blush, but I do love it just to really lift and don't be afraid to go high. But that is just stunning. Especially with green and blue eyes. Any blush that goes right under on the orbital bone here, which is quite high, I know that some people are freaking out, but it does reflect. Can you see her eye colours coming out already?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it's like a corrector in a way, it's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, and this side's beautiful, doesn't it? With the bronzer and the clear there.
SPEAKER_01It actually has really when you can compare it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, look at the different size. But obviously, there's only one shade. There's so many shades. I used the orange one the other day. This orange looks quite scary when you first see it. You're like, Jesus, that is going to be so orange, but it's actually not because it's the glassy. Once you buff it in, it just gives this nice fresh sun-kiss, like I'm back from Europe kind of glow. Don't forget they all blend, and they're all supposed to be a harder blush.
SPEAKER_01They do blend very easily, and yeah, it I think that's a good way to explain it a highlighter blush. Yeah, definitely.
SPEAKER_02A highlight blush. But as I mentioned before, some people they need that extra oomph, extra vivoom with their blushes. If you want a similar type of blush, but way more pigment than this, the Charlotte Tourbury ones, again, Charlotte, but these sticks, they're way more pigmented. Like the Rare Beauty. Amazing, but those Rare Beauty ones, they are so pigmented. If you're not an artist, I'd be scared how you're doing it because you need to drop and then blend because these are good. But that's almost, I think that's why I like these better because I'm never scared to put too much on because they're so glassy. Yeah, you can pop them. Yeah, I'd definitely use them on the cinnamon and the kayan, they're the bronzy kind of colours. Cayenne and yeah, the cinnamon, they're stunning. Bit on the nose, but yeah, these blushes have now become a definite staple in my kit. They're just beautiful. Glow, glow. Love it. Okay. Now, that foundation though, I'm gonna go to eyes next because I feel like we've got enough base on. We can always come back to it if we need to amp up the cheeks and everything. Now
Charlotte Tilbury Exagger-eyes Eyeshadow Sticks
SPEAKER_02we spoke about the fabulous Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadow sticks, the exagerise eyeshadow sticks. They are just so good. There's six matte and six kind of pearly metallics. I'm gonna use more of the nude tones today because I want that nude kind of look. Look at the shades already, you can tell. It's gonna be good. Yeah, I love her. But there are deeper shades than that in my kit. There's more bronzy metallic ones, there's dark browns. Yeah, but let's just go with these. So, I'm gonna go straight to the top. I love how that's on there. People think that's the I remember this girlfriend of mine goes, Oh, this looks amazing. She's loves doing that, nothing came out. And I said, No, no, that's just that's the colour, so you know what it is. You gotta pull and you just so good. But I love that I can show a client and go, hey, that's what it's gonna look like. Look at that beautiful shape. And often I do this and I go, that's the kind of vibe we're going for. And I do this, I go, like, that's how your eye's gonna be. Lighter in the middle, darker there, and they're like, oh great, because you can really see the colour. But yes, that is not the applicator. You've got to do that. So, what I like to do is really work it to the lips are closed for me. They are so creamy. Oh, that shade is spectacular. Don't you just love a basic torp shade? I love torpedo. These shades, no one pass, no one walking past a makeup bar and a retailer is gonna go, wow! Because everyone loves the shimmers and the dark colours, but people but people don't buy the shimmers and dark colours. It's wow factor, but these are the colours everyone needs in their kit. So I just do that, a bit messy, don't really care how it looks right now, because I use a brush. My favourite brushes are Zaweaver from Flora. Just been in my kit for so long. I hosted an event once with the founder and just thought you're amazing, and they're all cut and tapered so beautifully.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it looks I love that shade.
SPEAKER_02So I really get this on, like it's a real structure-based shade for me. I mean, you could do that, pop a bit of mascara on and exactly, and that's why in London I literally just took these sticks, I took no powders, and once they're blended, just make sure in this area here you've really wiped it and really blended it, and that way it's flat to the skin, and then it will set, and then you don't have to worry about it creasing.
SPEAKER_01I like that it doesn't look chalky. You know how sometimes a cream, we've said this in our before, they can look chalky. Yeah, this looks great, it's such a nice colour.
SPEAKER_02Even that by itself, that's just one colour. Now, what is this for? It's so good. This one, my eyesight. Oh god, it's called cashmere sculpt. That is just the most beautiful, basic torque shade that kind of ever I think everyone would need in their kit, right? Yeah, I need that. It is stunning, and then obviously you can add some depth here, just open for me, love. Just the depth in around here, you can put a highlight there, maybe two more colours, and you're done, right? That's stunning by itself. You can put brown mascara on, done. But let's do the other side. So, Vanessa, you haven't tried these?
SPEAKER_01No, I just tried them in our little chat before.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god, you need them.
SPEAKER_01But the if I look, I'll try them on myself as well because I find most cream shadows make me look really creepy, if that makes sense. But this actually looks like it is quite smoothing and blurring.
SPEAKER_02It actually has got a blurring in it.
SPEAKER_01It doesn't look dry.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it's like a it's supposed to be a long wear, yeah, no transfer, like it doesn't transfer to other areas once it's set down. It's a blurring, smoothing product. Now, remember the traditional cream sticks, the Laura Mercier will be wearing that, they'll always shimmer. Yes, it was really hard to find a mat, and that's when I found NARS, the total seduction sticks. Amazing, but as I said, if I start layering, no, they just crease. Yeah, these are just so smooth, and I can buff it out to almost nothing. There's no harsh lines anywhere. Obviously, I can go deeper on that lash line so I'm really making that deeper.
SPEAKER_01That's such an amazing tone though, isn't it?
SPEAKER_02I don't know how it is torped or am I making that up?
unknownIt's taupe to me.
SPEAKER_02I call it a torpedo. It's like a torp or like a little, I don't know, mushroomy, yeah. I don't know, but it's roomy that base colour that kind of everyone needs. Yeah. Okay, open your eyes. Ooh. Yeah, I love it. Now, it's also insane for a lower lash line. Now, I wish that was slightly pointed to do a lash line, but I guess they had to make sure it suited the whole eye. But you can just look right up, you can run it basically on that lash line and just use the edge. It probably doesn't need to be a point to be honest, because I still use it this way, but you can see there how that is just beautiful as well. And then I always just buff a little bit, even if you don't want it to be too soft, because I feel like if you buff with a brush, you take off the excess of the cream, so that's why it will never ever crease or smudge. And in London, I did seven glams in London, and I only use these, and they were going out all day just to the races to rural ascet, so it was like a 6am, a 7am, and 8am glam every day. Yeah, and they wouldn't get home till 6 pm, and it was still on, so amazing wear. So this is the cashmere, very neutral. I love that. I love it. You could definitely stop there. Yeah, that those little fashion girlies, the fashion makeup artists, especially. Yeah, that's all you would do.
SPEAKER_01But it's a fashion like a matte groundwork.
SPEAKER_02Cashmere sculpt. Now, the only thing I'm gonna add in because I feel like we need a little bit of depth. This one is called mink sculpt. Oh, what is the names? Got mink sculpt, a bit more of a brownie. You can see the difference there, adding a bit of colour. So the outer area. Well, it's not that much dark, is it? No, okay. It's close for me, so the skin. I'm just gonna add that there because I feel like I just want a little bit of this, and see how you can easily just use it in the actual socket line. It blends so easily, so you don't have to worry about it. You can actually use it on the skin, like direct where you want it. And I'm just adding a little bit more depth. Yeah, nice, but really subtle. And for some people, they might go straight to the milk, sorry, the mink, and skip the cashmere because this is their depth colour. So everyone's different when you find a depth colour. Yeah, the other day I was the client was running a bit late from a f from a delayed flight. I knew she wanted smoky. I didn't even do these colours, I went straight to the dark brown. It's gonna buff her anyway. Yeah, it's fine, but yeah. The last shade of this I'm gonna use is just so this is more of a pearlescent one. As I said, there's six pearl, you know, metallic and six matte. This is called ballet quartz. Oh my god, it's actually very ballet, isn't it? It's that little ballet slip up. So with this, I like to use a small brush. Let's get a little tiny brush and look up for me. There we go. Nice. Just literally ballet quartz, a little V and close, and just slightly on that top lid there. I don't need any more. Remember how years ago we always put that typical finger there, metallic. Metallic. Now I like a matte eye. I just think matte eyes are so attractive and sensual and they blend, they don't crease, and look up for me. But if you had this little highlight just in that area, need it all across the eye. That's just the eye opener you need. And after this, I don't look, of course, up to you. You can put three more shades on, you really darken it up. You could do so much with this eye makeup, but I'm gonna stop here to show you three of the exaggerized sticks, then go into liner mascara and finish.
unknownAmazing. Amazing.
SPEAKER_02So, guys, definitely recommend if you haven't got them. Amazing. Now,
Tight Lining & Eyeliner
SPEAKER_02are you a tight liner underneath? Yeah, I love it. Do you like a tight line? Do you know what tight lining is? So obviously we know eyeliner on top of the lid where the lashes join the skin on top, but you can lift the eye up and go underneath, like the upper waterline, and that just really tight lines. Now, because I'm using brown mascara on Kate today, I find with the brown mascara the tight line just looks even better, right?
SPEAKER_00Yeah. So I'm gonna do that.
SPEAKER_02The Fenty eyeliners, right? I don't use them that much because I do prefer the makeup forever. Excuse me, I do prefer the makeup forever pencils, the black, the brown, the cacao, even the burgundy as like a top up. These are a softer, rounder little ball tip. That's why I use them underneath because I don't think a big sharp pencil like that with a point, like a cilillo heel going under the eye, oh, that could be a bit ouchy, right? So I think it's best always to find one of those rounder, wind-up pencils. This the Fenty ones are definitely long wear because you don't want one that's gonna run and smudge at her either. So find a long wear. What I do is people on Instagram always use their thumbs and lift up, I don't know how their makeup never smudges. When I do it, sweaty old hand. I do that and the whole makeup's gone. So I lift up the lid. Look down for me, love. I lift the lid up like that. Smart with my little eyebrow brush. What a that's a fat tip. And it doesn't, it normally doesn't hurt. And I just line underneath and I can redo little areas, but you can see now with that tight lining done. Ooh. Yeah. Now I've actually started doing way more tight line and less eye line. Have you? Yeah, I don't do any eyeliner. When you do a beautiful shadow like this, and you want that nudeness, freshness of an eyeshadow, there's the minute you do a line on top of the lid, it takes away that and it kind of goes, oh, now I'm seeing eyeliner.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02So what do you think? Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I'm the same. And also it works better on more of a hooded eye as well.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, and so see that line. I did this eye. You can see that it's got the depth under the lash. So when the mascara goes on, it's more like a connection between tight line, waterline, lash, right? There's no white bit there. But if I really wanted to, I could even use like a small, firmer type of brush, not a fluffy one, and just look forward. You can even just grab that the bits of it and blend it in. So sometimes it can go, I think I left it on too long because this one deserves a quick set.
SPEAKER_00Actually, trend.
SPEAKER_02No, this one is like a long, like it does not move at all, which is why I like it for tight lining because it doesn't go down to the bottom. But what I mean is you can actually use a little brush, even just get a bit here, and you can kind of buff it in, right?
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02So then it actually looks like it is a bit of a smoky line at the end. Yeah, I can see that.
SPEAKER_01Does that make sense? Very subtle.
SPEAKER_02Rather than having a liner, tight line, and just buff the end out, and then you get that effect as well, which I think's eyes are on that boom.
SPEAKER_01Nothing.
SPEAKER_02It doesn't go at all. I do admit the makeup forever ones, they're probably not as long where if you do it on the top, it will transfer. Sometimes I like that if I want that real smoky look, then I change to a different liner so it does transfer to get that like lived-in, you know, grungy effect. I'll do the same with this eye, I've extended it there, and I use my little brush. Look down for me, and I just extended just a little bit there just to get you know a bit of something going on. But my favourite liner, as I mentioned before, is the Make Up Forever Limitless Brown. So we're gonna use it just so I can show you. Here it is, the Make Up Forever, the Marco Brown Limitless, the Limitless Marco Brown. I just think it's the best brown I've used. It's so chocolatey, it's amazing. So what I do is close above, but I don't want too much in the centre. I just want to put most of the colour on the outer, and then really lightly the leg more into the tight line area so you can see it there, and then use a brush and quickly, because most of the liners now they set, so move quickly, and this just gives more of a smokier lash line. The cashmere sculpt and the minks sculpt, and all the beautiful Charlotte Tilbury ones are like stunning for nude. But even if you use that for day, open for me, yeah. I wear that day, I come home, I'm going for drinks with the girls, I'm going out for dinner. I add this on, and it instantly changes the look to be a smoky brown. See that? Yeah, beautiful. And then obviously look up from me. I only do get tiny on the edge. I hate it going all the way through. And that's all I can really do to make it like from day to night. Love it.
SPEAKER_01Especially with Kate's complexion.
SPEAKER_02I do actually. Sometimes I have to get sometimes I get an angle brush. Yeah. Zoeaver as well. And actually, you do from here, I grab from there, yeah, look straight ahead for me, following that line up there. Action. So following the bottom line to get her right angle. Because if you do it closed, you'll get the wrong angle. And see how it's given me a little bit of a wing. Yeah. And then with that eyeshadow brush on before, yeah, it kind of shows me that I can actually extend a little bit higher there and give her that shape if I wanted to. And then that can just clean up. See, it's just so subtle, it is, but it extends the uh extends the eye for her just to have a bit more of a lift. But I'd never ever close the eye and then try and do a wing effect that way. I always have the eye directly open, use the angle exactly on the bottom, and that shows you where an eye should be, and then you connect. Yeah. So into that chocolatey look right now. I think Hailey Bieber. Yeah, but I think Hailey Bieber also started this brown trend. She started doing brown liners and brown little flicks and brown this and brown that, and I feel like it really has given brands the idea to create more chocolatey product. Yeah. Obviously, you can use a brown liquid liner. Sharp Scobby has a great brown liquid liner. My favourite gel pots are Bobby Brown, they do beautiful gel art in a shimmery brown, a matte brown, a black, a navy, they're such beautiful colours. But I just prefer getting my little brush on the pencil, really. Yeah. And look forward straight ahead. You go from the bottom, we get that angle. You can see the angle right there. See the angle. And then the eyeshadow brush. Just make sure it's all blended. No matter how old you are, what kind of look you want, there's nothing wrong with just everyone you do, just giving them a little bit of a lift. Now, the only last thing I'll do is to make it even more like, okay, we've gone from this the nude look, tight line only. Now we've added eyeliner on top to give a smoky look. But now we're like, ooh, dinner's turned into after hours drinks. No. Let's get a bit sexy. Look up for me. We can actually use the makeup forever, the chocolate brown, the limitless brown inside the bottom waterline. And this really, once the brown mascara goes on, this will really get the eyes popping. Because this brown is more chocolate, it's not like a black brown. It's got more red to it, hasn't it? Yeah, it has a red undertone. Which is grey or blue eyes? It's blue or green eyes. And also the eyes have to settle, obviously. Give it five minutes to settle. But now we'll use my. I
Fenty Mascara
SPEAKER_02love that my got my name on it. It's got Michael engraved on my mascara. Thank you, Fenty. But the Fenty mascara. As I said, lash clash is more orangey brown. My favourite's the Fenty because I like a thick lash, but there's also other brands that are more like I think tart have a tubular that's quite good too, and a brown. Up to you. I like a thick lash because I'm extra. But look down for me to the floor and curl if you want. But honestly, I'm using brown mascara so much more in the last year than even black. Because you can still do brown for day, you can still put a tiny lash over the top and run a fake lash, but there's something about the brown mascara that doesn't make the eyes look so done. The black is whoa, especially those girls that have really long lashes, the black can overtake everything. I love the brown. I go really to the root to tip. Make sure, it's probably easier as an artist because we can go right to the root. If you're doing your eyelashes yourself, don't just touch the tips and go tip tip tip tip because it'll weigh, it's too heavy. You need to go at the base, so heaviness of the base to lift up. Look at the difference. Yeah, it's amazing. Can you notice how?
SPEAKER_01Oh wow, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Look at see Fenty, see? Yeah. The Fenty effect. That's why I use hella thick, because it literally will make any lash look like a fake lash. So I get it, you might not be for just going to the shops, get your tubular out for that. But if you want glam, Fenty Hella Thick, I use the black brown, love it. To finish the eyes, obviously, it's the brow. So we need to do that. I'm gonna show you two different ones.
Brows — Anastasia Beverly Hills
SPEAKER_02Now I know you've got a favourite of the Arky Brow. Yeah, I really love that. So Anastasia Beverly Heels, it's a very small 0.5 millimeter tip. You see that? Don't wind too much, but you basically twist and it goes down into the packaging. You twist up and then you twist that for the actual lead to come out. But this is great for me to base out the light, the brow. Sketch out, that's the word. So if I look here, actually it's got a spoolie on the end. So you uh see. Now the brow shape is there, it's a beautiful arch, it's in it's all in the right places. Yeah, the start point's right, the peak's right, the end's actually right, you just can't see as much. So with this one, you have to go on an angle a lot. Don't draw, but little tiny strokes just to get those little, just to get the angles. A little feathery. Don't worry if you feel like oh that one's heavier than the other one, because once you brush it all out and add like a brow gel or a wax, see, and see even here, I'm I'm not drawing down, I'm still going on an angle like a real brow hair would. Oh love, love it. And that's the torp, yep, that's a torp in the archybrow, the 0.5mm. I think it's one of the smallest, sorry, thinnest brow pencils I've ever seen. Yeah, definitely. I think Benefit have a precisely my brow definer, which is really thin too, but it's a rounded tip, and you don't get the hair like stroke. That to me looks like hairs. Yeah stuff. It's got the blade. And I haven't even brushed it out yet. So that's that. So this is the one I told you about in my favorite, the three prong. Maybe you can see the three prong. This is different again. It's the same thing, but imagine it. Now I think this colour's a little bit different. I've got to be careful it's not too dark. Let's see, it might be dark. So I just use it very lightly just to trace. And it's a bit more of a texturey feel than like a pencil. But I use it a lot, especially with people with no brows on the end, it gives you those little three prongs. It looks like real brow hair through. I love. So it does give that hair-like look, but I still prefer the other one.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. But it's really good to see the difference. I think. And even in the colour as well, to be honest.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01That's slightly warmer on.
SPEAKER_02I've never really used it here, to be honest with you, in my work. Because most people have a brow there, but a lot of people don't have brows here. Yeah, exactly. So what I've what how I've used it is I've used Arky Brow or a brow pencil in that area, and I've used it on this area here to create that outer area, that outer brow area, like to make it fuller and thicker.
SPEAKER_01I think it's a good comparison.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it'd be good like that. Or someone look good, feel better, all those workshops they do. Yeah. And teaching people how to do brows when they've got cancer and no hair, this would be great to actually show a three-prong effect.
SPEAKER_01A little bit easier, a little bit easier, too. Easier, yeah.
SPEAKER_02For someone who's not artistic and that 0.5mm one, if you press even fraction too hard, it breaks. Obviously, it's so small. So you're gonna be really careful with it. But I do like the both. Yeah, it's different kind of looks.
SPEAKER_01I think it's a great comparison. And back to the Archie brow.
SPEAKER_02I know everyone here in Australia calls it archie brow, but when you hear Anastasia herself talk about it, she says archie, so I guess it's like architectural, like architect. That's how I get my sort of interaction. Yeah, yeah. Now I love the brow freeze wax. For me, it's just insane to really laminate and lift. And because it's a wax, not that gel, the gel in any brand tends to dry hard, and often you get the little white flakes.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Don't like that.
SPEAKER_01I don't like the white flakes either.
SPEAKER_02So because it's a wax, you can probably feel, Kate, how much it's pressing your brows to your head. Makes them flattery. So there's a bushy brow, like my very bushy, and of course, I can actually flatten my brows flat so you actually can see more individual hairs.
SPEAKER_01Love it.
SPEAKER_02Can you see that on camera maybe not?
SPEAKER_01I think it's caught in it a bit.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Oh, I can probably see it on this camera. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02It's definitely given for me. So apparently she made this, I don't know this. So she made this brush. So you're supposed to scoop with the flat kind of sculptor, you're supposed to scoop it out, put it on your hand, and then, oh god, my fingers are, and then you use from there. That's how she made this brush, but I just go straight to there and hope for the best. And also, what I found is I do have a really thick, unruly brow, you can use the back of that and press flat so then every part of the hair is flat to the head, so it's like a real uplift laminate kind of effect. Love that. That's how I do it.
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Vanish
SPEAKER_02It's time for the magic banish. I get really excited because magic banish is my favourite. Now, for red carpet glamour, even though you're definitely a shade two in terms of your natural colour. Now, when I'm doing super glam, I'm talking logies, TV, red carpet, we're going fashion glam. I actually would use the one to be that real almost kimkay white look under the eye, because it does look really good in photography. But we'll use number two, A, because I've run out of number one, and B, your skin colour is actually number two. So you just put it on. Now look at the eyes now. I think they look fresh. They look amazing. But when you put this on, look right up, and only in that little area there. I'm just dabbing it. It's like a little for me, it's a finishing touch. Bring it down. I just love how it kind of brightens everything. It actually Yeah, can you see or not?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I feel like it smooths a little bit.
SPEAKER_02It's a blurring, smoothing, under-eye brightener, corrector. I don't know. I just love it. Yeah, here I can see that it's fresh, but it's still a little bit dark in there, whereas I feel like it's opened up the eye more and made it super bright and light. Okay. Also great if you are finding wow, my bronzer and blush is quite dramatic. That all softens it in. I'll do this side again. Really beautiful under the eye. It's definitely my little finishing touch. But then you guys, I do the whole makeup because you've got the blush on. Look at that. It's glowy, it's blushy, there's a contour.
SPEAKER_01But sometimes we just need that little bit extra.
SPEAKER_02And everything's just settled in beautifully. See, and now we've got that magic vanish on. I'm not, um, I swear it looks like I'm very dramatic, but I'm just doing a little bounce on the skin. It's that point there, that highlight point there, that's what we need. That's gonna lift. And if you actually put a bit of blush to the back of the cheekbone, around the temple, the sides should look a bit more lifted now. Wow. Look, everyone's different. Some don't like blush under their complete eye, the black up really white there, totally fine. You can go back into your sponge. Often I actually do this and put it really peachy or pinky, whatever blush I'm using, really full on there, and then get my magic vanish and go to the top so the blush is still coming through, but it just dilutes it a bit. Up to you. But I swear I can't say how much I just love blush at the moment. I think it's just super fresh. Beautiful. Yeah? Yeah. Alright. And yet, and don't forget, your little sponge of magic vanish on can always be a little bit of a blend, like a connector. Okay, so we're
Lips — Anywhere Caffeine & Lip Lacquer
SPEAKER_02gonna finish up lips, eh?
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_02So I mentioned before one of my favorites is the artist pencils. We used Limitless Brown before as an eyeliner. I'm using Anywhere Caffeine. I think most makeup artists I know have it in their kit. It is such the perfect nude. Not too pink, not too orange, anywhere caffeine. If you don't know it, get amongst it. Now we're lucky you've got beautiful lips here. They're not too thin, not overly forward. You've got to see do we overline or underline. I'm just gonna do the bottom first, slightly underline. I kind of normally do this first. I just get the main area that I want to focus on, which is here. And then I just do the top and I'm going just above. I'm not purposely overlining too much. As I said, Kate's lip is a great shape. I'm just over, I'm just going just above, like it's on the lip. But I am gonna use that eyeshadow brush technique I mentioned before when you get the lip liner on and you just buff it a bit. Now, most of my lip liners I don't connect anymore. Do you do you do that? I don't connect this part because I find if you connect top and bottom, sometimes it can be it either elongates the lip too weirdly or it pulls it down because some people don't have an upturn smile. I mean it's just lovely. Thank you, Cak. But some people are aging or whatever, it can go like a bit like that. Yeah, it's gotta be very careful. So I don't connect anymore. I do the most pigment right in the centre, buff it around, and then I start drawing a little bit in the lip as well to get a little bit of a shape there. But I don't connect anymore. That's all we need to do. And then when we get a brush like that, like a small fluffy eyeshadow brush, we can then just take that and buff. Now, this is still anywhere caffeine. I'm just using the eyeshadow brush to kind of buff it in and blend it so it's not like a harsh line. I find this truly makes the lips look a little bit bigger and plumper. The harsh line really shows the lip shape by buffing this in, and that way you can connect the lips that way as well by using the eyeshadow brush to buff. I always keep the centre of the mouth uh because I'm working on an angle. I've just got to make sure that that part hasn't gone too hard. Working on an angle. But can you see what it's doing to the lip or looks amazing?
SPEAKER_01I love not going to the edge with the lip liner too. I think it gives you a more fuller. Yeah. It looks amazing, just like that, to be honest.
SPEAKER_02And even when you bath, you know, weigh the excess of any these liners are pretty good. I don't think these ones move that much at all because they're a traditional sharpen pencil. Some of those waxy ones, you know, the ones that you wind up, even the rare beauty and those ones that aren't like traditional sharpener, they are, but they've got that waxiness around them. Yeah, they can move on on certain lips. So I find by using the lip, sorry, the eyeshadow brush and buffing, it's taking the excess wax off as well. But I will just go back in because that's the strongest part I want.
SPEAKER_01That's gonna be fat colour, too, isn't it?
SPEAKER_02Anywhere caffeine, isn't it? So good. Such an amazing colour. Beautiful! Look at that. We've buffed, we're ready. Now, I have so many. Like I said, I love the gloss bum lipsticks, these are just stunning. I also absolutely cannot go without my velvet from Anastasia Beverly Heels, the velvet lips. These are totally matte, by the way, they're not a gloss. These are stunning. But today we're gonna show you the lip lacquer from House Labs, the brand new product that apparently lasts for eight hours. So I'm gonna do this because it's so we've put it on, we've made sure that Kate does not press. You can close your mouth, but just don't let the lips touch for at least 10-15 seconds. That's what we've been told by the House Labs team. And then people always do this. None of that. Let it sit for 10-15 seconds. You can see how nude it is, the beautiful gloss. It's quite funny because I brought this out the other day, and the client goes to me, oh, that's way too orange for me. And I go, Don't forget, it's a sheer gloss. You wouldn't think it's the same when it's going over anywhere caffeine, but look at that shine. That's only it liner in this. So we waited 10-15 seconds. I'm not saying go back and do that straight away, but if you were eating going out all day, this apparently will last you for eight hours. So we'll see, you can report back. Fenty, my last finishing touch, really, that I do on every client. Some clients might need an extra powder. At the moment, I'm using a house labs loose powder because it's so blurring. But Charlotte Tilbury is launching a new powder very soon to Australia. I had a sample of it when I went to Melbourne recently. It is, I think it's the most beautiful blurring soft powder, but it's not launched yet. But at the moment, I'm using my Fenty. I don't use it much, I just use it in these centre areas where I want blur and I want brightness because it's that white translucent. I just do little flicks underneath. This is a Ray Morris brush, it's so perfectly tapered. Chin, I also do a lot of powder and make this quite white here. The more white that bit there is, it actually sculps. So you can see now that this is a highlighting powder as well as a blurrer. Can you see that on camera? Yeah, you can. I still want this glow and blush, but I want that to be smooth, that to be smooth, that to be smooth, and that to be smooth. Obviously, depending on the skin tone, be careful of flash photography. But I've done this quite a lot for my red carpet clients and never had an issue because it's kind of a blurring powder, not so white. And forehead, very minimal. Wherever there's expression and lines, very minimal. But I find with a small brush, like I still see makeup artists using like almost the makeup by Mario, that that's too big for me for a powder brush. Very minimal, it should be so small and concentrated. Every powder, airy powder should be very thought out, and will this affect other areas? Will that be okay to put there? And then you get that blurred finish to finish and kind of sculpt.
SPEAKER_01Spectacular.
SPEAKER_02But it's still glowy, and I've just powdered the whole face. So I always choose a powder that has the word blurring in there. This is a compact blurring. I use the House Lab blurring loose at the moment for like extra powder for someone who's really oily or a longer setting, but the new Charlotte's coming out, so I'm gonna try that. Vanessa, I've got a bit of a exclusive.
Setting & Finishing — All Day-a
SPEAKER_02All day from Emco Beauty has just launched in the country. You've probably seen it all over socials because there's a lot of talk about Emco Beauty being a jupe brand. Do you love it, do you hate it? Some are for it, some are against it. I'm neutral. I think everyone should be able to feel beautiful and to feel like they're wearing something that others get to wear. And whether that's $5, $20, $30, whatever your budget is, you should be able to buy something. But it's how you feel. In my professional opinion, I know by using it, it just doesn't last the distance in the work that I do 10-12 hour days, and on a farmer wants a wife, we're doing 14-hour days, it just won't last. I'll be touching up more and doing more work, so I'd rather just get the shallow. But as Scandinavia had a contract with Urban Decay All Nighter. It was the original, it was the best, it was temp controlled. Now they've done a collab, so it's not a dupe, it's the first ever collab I think Emco Beauty's done. So it's actually the real Skindinavia original formula of All Nighter put into an Emco Beauty bottle called All Dea. I love it. Same packaging, so it's duping the packaging, duping the name almost, but Deia, same. So it's temp control and lasting, it's the original. I think go for it. Like it looks so much more affordable, and it's the original, it's brand new. Let me spray a bit. It was the original, because we all love the original, and it's got temp control in Australia, the humidity. Hello. Okay, head back for me. Okay, you know what I've noticed though? It feels like the mist is wider than the original, but the mist is still fine, isn't it? It didn't feel like splashy. I like it. The mist is just do one more time. I feel like we need to start again. Oh, that mist is so fine, I can't even see it. But anyway, the brand sent me one to try before the launch. I've got to say, I don't mind this because it's actually a collaboration. It's not a jupe. So I feel like you can't get angry at that. And get on Scandinavia, they've got L'Oreal kind of did a bad number on them. I feel so hey, they've got their brand back in a whole global brand. So, oh Dam.
SPEAKER_03Wanna try them?
SPEAKER_02But then it's on your hand or something. Yeah, well go. But that's it. Glowy, fresh, long lasting. Looks amazing. That's all my kit faves. Oh, yes.
unknownSpectacular.
SPEAKER_02Is it from brushology? They sent me all my brushes for me, but the clips are so cool. It looks spectacular. And look at this. Oh my god, baby. Look at this hair. See that ginger tone from the blush? It's all tonal. Even though that's dramatic for some people, like quite smoky and dramatic, it's still all tonal. I'm a to I love tonal makeup. I don't like when it's pink lip and a brown eye. I kinda like everything to be a little bit more tonal.
SPEAKER_01Spectacular, looks beautiful.
unknownThank you.
SPEAKER_01Thank you, Kate. Thanks for joining me today on the Makeup Insider. I hope you've enjoyed the show. Please don't forget to rate and subscribe, and I'll see you soon. Bye for now.
