Hi, my name is Mekdes and today we're doing this glam eye look.
So, I'm gonna jush my hair a little bit, definitely want to make sure that the fro
is even, that's my number one challenge in life.
I went in with a wide tooth comb earlier and just picked it out as best as I could but…you
can never jush too much.
First step, conceal.
I really love this concealer, it's by Rimmel.
It's a little bit lighter than my skin tone so I start here just to take care of those
dark circles, and I try to focus right under my eye where it's the most dark.
I do go over it again with Glossier Skin Tint in Deep, just to match my skin tone as best
as I can.
And the reason why I love it so much is it's really light coverage so even with the concealer
and the skin tint over it, I still feel like it's pretty natural.
You don't get that caked-on look.
I tend to like the dewy look, so I go all over and then when I'm done I go back and
touch up areas where I feel may need a little more concealing, and you can see it's still
pretty light.
If I found that I used a little bit too much Skin Tint, I'll just cover and powder the
parts that are a little bit shiny with Glossier's Wowder in Dark/Deep.
For brows, I use Glossier's Boy Brow in Black.
And I really like it because it's simple and easy to use, so you can see it's pretty
light and natural—which is what I love.
After this, I'll go over the Skin Tint with my Tarte blush in the shade of Paaarty.
If there are any parts that I feel like need some extra help, I'll just use my Wowder
brush just to hit some of the areas around and make sure it's not too glossy.
And so, for a highlight, I really love the Haloscope in Topaz.
I just really focus on the highlights of my cheekbones and I don't want to take away
too much from the blush, so I really just focus on the top and I blend with my hands.
On top of the Balm Dotcom, I'm using a Sephora gel lip liner in the shade of Hot Sauce, it
just gives it a little more depth.
Clearly, you can see that I missed the line of my lip so...just go in and use your hands
to fix it.
I like it because it doesn't take away too much from the eyeliner look.
So, I use a mixture of two products for my liner.
It's Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Pot in Blackest Black and for the brush I use Revlon Colorstay
Liquid Liner.
I make little tiny strokes because I'm pretty prone to messing this up and with the smaller
strokes, you can always go back and correct.
And once I feel I have a nice outline, then I'll go back in and really darken that up.
And I think that's pretty good.
If I've extended the wing a little bit too far out, I'll take a Q-tip and clean it.
You can use any Q-tip, but this one has a pointed end which helps with a more precise
line.
I could stop here and go for a cat eye and call it good, but I'll take my brush and
I'll actually follow the bone structure of the crease and I'll follow that inward
to really emphasize my brow bone and my crease.
I just kind of wanted a peak of something cool.
So once I get it as even as I think I can, I'll go in with mascara.
I use CoverGirl in Lash Blast, it's the green one in the color of Very Black.
I like it a lot because I feel like it just extends my lashes and really completes this
look.
My day-to-day look is pretty simple, so I was really inspired by the graphic liner and
the impact it had just visually.
Yeah, I wanted something different, something strong.
