new Foundation for DARK SKIN, Testing New PRODUCTS, DETAILED makeup tutorial for beginners

Today I'm going to be trying out some products that are new

Okay, that is subtly beautiful

Very natural. Oh my God, I'm underwhelmed. When you're trying something new for the first time, just don't

What up baby? Let's do some makeup. I don't have a full face of new makeup, but I've got some new stuff. Okay

And I am excited about them. One of which is going to be the L'Oreal True Match Super Blendable Foundation

I have the shade C10 Cool Deep and W10.5 Warm Deep. So let's see

You know, I like a neutral shade, but I was sent these two. So let's see if either of these work for me

Okay, wow. This is $11.19 on sale. It originally retails for $13.99

There are 47 shades. Is that accurate? 47 shades. Wow. It's supposed to lock in moisture, provide medium coverage, natural finish

adapts to any skin color and texture. Hmm. Super blendable. Let's try it out

And if you try this, comment and let me know because I'm curious. Starting off with this lip primer because that's a must. Okay

I always do skin first because it just flows better that way

This is a NARS Soft Matte. Wow. Let's put this only in the T-zone because that is the only area that I wish to mattify

And let's see how this interacts with this foundation. If you're a beginner at makeup or just have some things that you still need to learn

make sure you look at my beginner makeup playlist where I have lots of videos for you to choose from. Okay

So let's do a swatch. This is C10 Cool Deep. Ooh. I already feel like this will look beautiful on me. Ooh

This W1 is looking olive. Oh, I feel like the two of them can work

This is W10.5. They both could work for me. Which one should I use

Oh my God. Which one would you use? Oh, I got to figure this out right now

All right. I'm going to go with the C10 Cool Deep because I feel like this will be pretty and we'll

see how the look all comes together in the end. And if I feel like it's too red, then of course I'll know for next time to use the warm one

I may have taken too much. We'll find that out soon, won't we

Ha ha ha. Ooh. This is the Morphe E63 brush and cool means that's going to have a red undertone to it

And I normally like a neutral, so a mix of both. Of course I could mix foundations, but who has time for that

It needs to just work for me off rip. So here I am blending in more pouncing motions because I do want to get the most amount of

coverage out of this as possible. I do go over my eyebrows because I like to do my eyebrows differently when I have on

a full face of makeup. And if you've been here, you already know. And if you don't, now you know

You know? I'm focusing more on the middle part of my face. Then I'll make my way toward the outer part of the face

The key is to make sure that this foundation or any foundation is not caked up around the

hairline or the chin. Okay? So you of course want to have the product there, but it don't need to be sitting there

You feel me? So what's left over on the brush is what I am now bringing to the outer parts of my face

Okay, off rip, the deepness of it is stunning in a way that I like. Because you know I like to go darker and then I lighten it all up with my concealer and

the whole nine yards. So what I will do is with this concealer, this is Lancôme Tante Deau Ultra Wear in

the shade 500. This is, in my opinion, going to balance out the redness in this foundation in a great way

I do see the medium coverage of this foundation. I do feel like I can still see my skin just a smidge, nothing too wild. Right

It's not giving light coverage, definitely medium. And I like it. What do you think so far

And if you use this, comment and let me know. Now let's blend this in with this e.l.f. sponge, which I just soaked really quickly

And then I made sure to squeeze it out in just the right way. Because you still want it to be a little bit wet, but not too wet

I do a video in the Bake Up For Beginners playlist, which explains to you how to make

sure that your sponge is the way you need it to be. Right

Not soaked, not dry, just right. And here's what I mean by the highlight brightening up the whole entire face

You see how this is so light, which is what I like. I love it to be this light, right

You see how this is so light that now, once I'm done with all of this

I don't know, can you hear me? Once I'm done with all this, it really is going to brighten up the face and not make

it look so dark as it was before. And not as red as it was before

You feel me? And that's why I like to go darker with the foundation. Because once I start to lighten it up and then I bring the shadows back in, it just

all works. You know? Okay, and now to contour. This is a new product

This is the Milk Makeup Matte Bronzer in the shade Spaced. This, I have to say, is annoying because I don't know if it's just because it's too hot

or whatever, but when I take this top off, the inside comes off

So not to waste the product, I'm going to take what's inside here

Let's use my finger like so. Very deep. And then let's apply this nice deep shade

Okay, so I've got the product in place. Let's blend this out

I'm angling it or bringing it backward. Now, you can argue that I brought this down too far

So let's clean that up. Nothing else on this sponge except what was already there

That's a very stark line, but we're going to blend that in, okay

Just by doing this again to diffuse it. Let's hold this hair back and get this contour into the hairline as much as possible

But again, it doesn't need to be all caked up. We're just trying to make this look effortless and seamless

Pounce, pounce, pounce, pounce, pounce to get this blended in. This with the concealer and the foundation looks really, really good

Comment, let me know if you agree. And then I'm going to use this Sephora 57 brush to bring some of this product down the side of my nose

Leftover on the brush is the best way to go so that I'm not taking so much product, right

I do want my contour to show, but come on, we trying to avoid the line, which you might be like, uh, there's a line right there right now

I understand, okay? We are going to blend all of this out in a sec

We're not done yet, you know? You got to just trust the process. If you are a console on your nose, let me know

Because I always say that this is definitely a technique or a step in the process

that you may not want to take on as a beginner, you know

If you are advanced or intermediate, you might do this with a breeze. Like how I'm just doing it so quickly, you might be like horrified thinking, what

Slow down. So if you're a beginner and you know how to just do a little one, two, one, two

this may not be something you want to dabble with, you know, until you get more comfortable

But if and when you do decide to do this, girl, it just makes such a difference

It just, it just snatches the face in all the ways, you know

Now, we're going to take the sponge, the cleanest part of it. Not this side, because just not right now, but here

It's just a little strange way, but just this section right here, okay

And I'm going to blend the line of debarkation right between the highlight and the contour, okay

Do you see how now it is gone, all right? Same way here, twisting it, keeping the sponge that touched the concealer in the same spot

and the sponge, sponge area that touched the contour in the same spot, okay

And now we are going to turn this over and do the same here

Keeping everything right where it needs to be so that we are not transferring the contour

to the concealer, nor the concealer to the contour area. Do we see... This sun is getting on my nerves, okay

So, just ignore that. Just irritating me. Do we see that vibe? Mmm! Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

I do not have a different setting powder for under my eyes, so I'm going to use this

Tried and true, baby! Huda Glowish Luminous Pressed Powder. And let's make sure that the area under the eyes is not creased, okay

Taking the sponge, nothing else on it. Just going to do this to ensure that my natural wrinkles, which is natural, all right

Just make sure that they have not disrupted my concealer too much

And then now with this Sephora 99 brush, here we go. Before we rest the face, just want to get underneath there

Okay, now we're going to bring this down and continue to form that check mark

Hello? Brightening the under eye area. This might look ridiculous to you, but when the face is all done, baby, this looks so good

If you're using a luminous pressed powder or a loose powder under your eyes, let me know

And this I've just been using because it is just the Elstinkin Good Black Opal, okay

Powder foundation. The shade is Around a Clay Girl. And we're going to just set, but not just set

I'm intensifying the brightness of this other face highlight, honestly and truly

You can leave it. You don't have to use all these powders. You can just leave the skin looking satin, right

In between matte and hydrating, the in-between, the comfortable in-between. You can leave it satin if you prefer for your skin to look a little bit moist like that

And that's okay too. I really want to further intensify the highlight because why not

Huh, girl. This is how I like for my face to look. You feel me

You, of course, can take a pressed powder like I just did, and you can choose one that is not so light

That's also an option where you will still get the brightness, but not as much, okay

I like to do a lot. What I am going to do right now is I'm going to take a contour powder, okay

And I'm going to deepen up this contour, baby. And then we do the face powder

So this is the Elle Cosmetics Camo Powder Foundation. The shade is Rich 660N

And this is an LYS powder brush. I could skip this section, but what it's going to do is deepen out the contour in the most beautiful way

All right. Subtle, dramatic, comment and let me know. It's getting dramatic, but in the best way, you know

And now is where I do the powder foundation, which is my face powder

Now, this one I do have a new one of. This is the Makeup Forever HD Skin Matte Velvet

All right. And this is actually the shade 4N74, which matches the foundation in the HD skin that matches me perfectly

So this is 4N74, and this is the same. I am going to use this one now

It does come with this sponge where you can use to wipe it onto the skin the way that it's done in the promos, the videos that you've seen probably

I don't like to wipe any kind of powder foundation on my face, so I don't use this

But it comes with it in case you want a real fast way to be, like, wiping it on your face

This is the Sephora Pro Bronzer 80 brush that I just love to use with my powder foundation

I'm going to try this for the first time. This is supposed to match my skin, maybe kind of, sort of

But I'm really just trying to bring back some color, make everything look nice

This is my first time trying this. I hope it looks good. It's looking good. Thank you

I am applying this in the area where my highlight meets my contour

Okay. That's where I'm first applying it very wildly. And then now I'm going over the contour just a little, not to take it away, but to bring it all together

You feel me? And this shade is looking really good. Ooh. Now, you could use the powder foundation first and then do everything else

but that's simply not how I do my makeup. I use it to finish off the face, not to, in its entirety, give my face the coverage that it could give

if that's what you wanted. Okay, so I'm using this in the way that I like to use it

But know that there are other ways that you can use such a product

I like how this looks. Going back here some more so that my highlight under my cheek isn't too, too much

Like, I want to be there, but, you know, I can give it a little bit of decrease

I can decrease it a little bit. So, I don't know. This is the part of the face where I will add a little bit more highlight

more of the frosty highlight, right? Not the highlight that was under my eyes as a concealer, but more on the frosty realm

This is the Milk Makeup Highlighter. This is the shade Lit. So, here we are. Another twist off and take off

Okay, good. Oh, yeah, there's some moisture in here, but thankfully this one did not come up, you know, like the other one did

So, now, this I would use on my fingers. But let me just see something above my lip

Let's see. Okay, good. This is buildable because I would think that with what I just did

I would have so much on. But this is buildable. Lovely. Okay, right here, padding

Okay, very subtle. Now, I'm a little worried that I might end up doing too much

So, let me do the finger. I don't want to end up taking off my makeup. Ooh, this is creamy. Love

The warmth of the finger will help to get the product to blend more easily

Love, love, love. Okay, good. And then right here, middle of the nose to further highlight all this out

The warmth of the finger and then the second finger is clean to help blend it in

There were some other shades that were sent to me. I could definitely go with something more yellow, more golden

But this is actually pretty. This is reminding me of the Rose Ink one that I've been using

I like it. And then this is already highlighted, so no need to even go over there

That's why I love the Luminous Press Powder because it just – Look, the face is already highlighted, okay

Here's where it gets a little dicey because I don't use cream blushes. Well, this is a liquid blush, actually

This I'm sure you've seen used by many a people. This is the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Dream Pop Matte Beauty Blush Wand

Now, I remember using the Rare Beauty one, which I know was really popular on TikTok

And I don't recall what it was for me. Maybe I just wasn't comfortable. I'm squeezing this into the sink just a smidge to see what happens

because I don't want this to splash everywhere. It has this sponge. Oh, okay

You got to turn it. I didn't know that. Okay, now I'm squee– Oh, wow

That popped up very quickly. Okay, so I see the girlies just putting this on their faces, which I will not lie

it makes me very uncomfortable. I'm normally a hand and then the face kind of girl. Let me do what I know because I can't be following y'all

This is too much. Like, this is very risky to me. So, I'm putting it on the hands

I'm sure that this is going to look beautiful, but I've got to take proper precautions

Okay, that side part of the sponge. Taking, taking, taking. And let's start here and go in circles

It does sheer out. Okay, good, because it was looking really pigmented on my hand and even on the sponge

Okay, I could put this onto the face. It's got to be workable

If it's not workable, that's where applying it directly to the face is a tragic disaster

because then you'll have way too much and you won't even be able to blend it. It just looks ridiculous

Okay, that is subtly beautiful. Very natural. It's almost like I can't even see it

It's very subtle. Let's finish the other side. Oh my God, I put it directly onto the face and I think I squeezed out too much

Yo, okay. We're gonna do this. Wow. Okay, I'm gonna take off some of my sponge

Look, I'm doing different things just for you. Yeah, it is pretty sheer, but it was so wet that I worried that I just took off some makeup

Did I? Okay, let me turn it over. This side's clean. In hopes to bring this, just to blend that down a little bit

Yeah, I'm not gonna do that ever again. Putting it onto my face, it's not my ministry

That's what I mean. When you're trying something new for the first time, just don't

Okay, my hands are a huge mess right now. Definitely remember to twist it shut to the off section and then put the cap on

I did not do that and the cap was a mess, okay? I think that this looks subtly beautiful

I feel like there's more here than here, but honestly and truly, I wanna stop right here

because this is already enough for me, but hmm, pretty. I just need to get used to it

Now, let me deepen my contour just a smidge so that this back area looks like more of a gradient

See how it's medium? You can still see some blemishes right here on my cheeks, which I don't like

I like for that all to be covered, so okay. And by medium, I'm referring to the foundation

Okay, for eyeshadow, I do have this new palette from Milani. This is the 110 Whiskey Business Gilded Mini Palette, all right

But before that, let's prime the eyelid with this P. Louise base. This is the shade Rumor 02

And I did my brows and I highlighted underneath my brows, which is important

I'm gonna put this on the back of my hand because a teeny bit of this goes a long way

And then to spread it all over my eye, first of all, spreading it on my finger here

Let's just put some on the finger and just move this along. Let's do that

My nails are long, so sometimes this can just be so messy. But you know what, Ashley

No, that just worked. I normally try to use a brush to do this, but listen, that just worked

Hold on, we're getting there quickly, okay? Use the finger. Look how it just warms up and gets the job done, okay

I normally do the brush because my fingernails get in the way, but it's been a while since I've used the P. Louise base and it blended very easily

So here we go. More on this side than the other, but it's really fine

We don't have names for these shades, so I'm gonna just use an assortment, starting off with these two here

And let's see how that builds up. Get this orange color up in here with the brown to deepen it a little bit

Let's see if we can get another drugstore situation going, right? Taking that orange-brown type color and then the brown-brown type color

like the true brown. Let's go right up in here, baby. This is the Sigma E61 brush

Now, I won't lie, I wish that this were warmer. Like, it's not giving me, I don't know if it's not warm enough

if it's not pigmented enough. I don't know what it is because I did base the eye

It just looks very neutral, almost invisible. Now, this is not coming out the way I would like for it to come out

However, it'll work for someone. It'll work for you if you're a beginner, if you're not sure of really how to do this

if you don't want it to look too loud and pronounced, then this will work for you because it's not giving loud and pronounced

which is what I like, right? That's what I prefer on my eyelids. So this will work for you if that's what you prefer, okay

And now all over the eyelid, let's use one of the lighter colors

Let's go really light so it can show. Let's go here because these two will end up, this is white, obviously

This will end up looking white. Let's start here and see how light that shade actually turns out

I normally would use a flat, fluffy brush, but I ain't got one in front of me

so we just using a straight-up fluffy brush. It'll do the job because this is a real simple, soft look, you know

This is looking more gray, so this is more cool. Again, it's just subtle

I'm not wowed. I'm just like, okay, it's giving very subtle. And the drugstore eyeshadow palettes aren't all like this

I'm underwhelmed, but if you just need to practice and don't want it to be so pigmented right off the rip

you will enjoy this. I'm gonna deepen this crease with the other brown, which was more cool

So here's an illustration, again, of why I don't like cool-toned eyeshadows to just overtake my whole eye

because if you look at this, it's giving gray, right? Cool, gray, ashy

That does not flatter my skin tone. It might for you, but it just doesn't for me. And this is why I always start off with that reddish-brown shade in my crease

and then I build it in to blend into whatever shade I'm using in the crease

because I want it to be warm, sunset vibes. You see this

This is giving more of the moon. And you might think that this is gorge

Like, let's say I had on a gray outfit, a gray dress, gray top, whatever. Yeah, I suppose, but I would never

But let's finish the look with some eyeliner, mascara, and let's discuss the lip

Let's use the L'Oreal Telescopic Carbon Black, right? This is the TikTok viral one

I bought it after that whole situation went down. You feel me? Here we are

We're gonna get up close and personal. Ooh, it's looking good thus far. I have an eyeliner, obviously, because I'm finishing my face

but who am I saying that? Is this the one? This wand looks different

Maybe I picked up the wrong one. This looks gorge so far. If you've tried this mascara, let me know

What's annoying is this wand. I don't know if that's supposed to be like that

This is what makes it great, but it's annoying. Because getting it in, see how flimsy it is

It doesn't go in well. It's annoying to push in. The wand is flimsy and irritating

So anyway, but, you know, the mascara looks good. All right, so comment, let me know what you think about this

If you have tried it, I would love to know. You know my tried and true lashes are these ones from AliExpress

I always link them below. All the products are linked below. So make sure you take a look at that link in case you want to buy these lashes

All right, we're near the finish line. I did the Lawless One and Done Mascara on the bottom lashes

That's my tried and true, right? And I want to use this MAC Cosmetics Locked Kiss Ink

This is the shade Gutsy. Now this is very, very bright. So let's line the lips first with this Rare Beauty Kind Words Lip Liner in the color Strong

This is giving MAC chestnut vibes, you know? Something brown to warm up the lips

Basically giving the lip a contour, you know? And then the shade goes in the middle

And I have not tried this out, so this one's also new. You could stop there

Let's build this up. I want this to spread more on the lips. It feels lightweight, not caked up, not strange in any way

Here's the finished look. If you loved it, like it, would change anything, comment and let me know

Like I mentioned, all products are listed below. I'm linking two. Pick one to choose from to watch another video

I'll see you next time. Bye. Bye
