Back in the summer I did a poll on what series everyone wanted to see. Turned out the most votes were for the seven deadly sins. It took me a while to figure out how to put this plan into action, but it finally panned out. I filmed this and uploaded it a couple weeks ago. It is my video for "Pride". Pride is normally displayed using purples. I love those colours. I'm glad I finally buckled down to do this. It turned out lovely.
I hope you guys enjoy this and is entertaining and helpful. Keep a lookout for my next one which I could be lazy about.

Series: Back to School Makeup Tutorials
Hey there everyone!
So I decided to do a back to school series. I know a lot of people are just doing one look for tutorials. I thought this was cool, but then thought wait a minute not every age range should be wearing the same types of makeup. After thinking this I decided to take my back to school video tutorial one step further and turn it into a series.
I find a lot of gurus just do what they would think is great for themselves when they do videos like this. I was looking at it from a different point of view, especially when meeting a few grade 6s who were the children of my parents' friends. These girls had heavy makeup on. I was shocked. I couldn't understand why they would have their makeup like that, let alone why their parents would allow that. Now I do understand parents are all different. I for one will probably let my 12 year old start experimenting with makeup, but I will be there to help her with it (provided I have a girl when the time comes). This made me look back to how I did my makeup in middleschool and highschool and made me realize that I didn't know all that much and never really learned techniques to use. I only saw pictures and I thought I was recreating them.
This series is to teach decent technique to different age ranges so they can still experiment, but at least know a certain technique that will help them out a bit better. I will be doing a video for grades 5&6 (ages 10-12), 7&8, (12-14), grades 9-12 (14-18) and college/university (18+)
Grades 5&6
For this video I'm mostly focusing on light colours that accentuate, but still look natural. No lipstick, foundation or eyeliner will be used as they create too hard of looks for such young and delicate soft skin.
Grades 7&8
For this video I'm using a simple simple light neutral with a very pale pop of colour. There is a powder foundation, and a thin thin line of eyeliner.
High School
There will be two looks created for these grades. The first is a neutral look using the Urban Decay Deluxe Palette. It will be a pretty simple neutral just using browns and golds. The next look will be a more colourful look, still using the same palette. Both looks will have an eyeliner look, however each look will change for eyeliner.
College/University
This has 3 videos. The first will be a business appropriate look, good for presentations. The second will be a going to class look, and the third will be a good look for going for coffee and hanging out with friends on campus.
Extras.
I am going to do 3 extra videos.

Waterproof Makeup
The Basics of making your makeup waterproof and sweatproof is finding the right products. What I suggest doing is using cream products more than anything and then setting them with a podwer over top. The cream products tend to stick a lot better, they sink more into your skin so you get more of a glow. For Mascaras and Eyeliners you really just have to test which products work the best with your skin type to get a good hold and won't run. For me the best ones I've tried so far are from Maybelline. They don't run much for me.
My last tip for swimming with makeup. DON'T RUB YOUR EYES!!!!!!! If you rub your eyes when getting out of the water, something will smudge and run, what you want to do is bring an extra little towel and dab at your eyes and face.
Also, think about what you're doing. You don't need to wear makeup to swim, you don't need it to go to the beach. So if it's a party where there may be swimming, but you aren't sure, this is a good idea.

Day to Night Makeup Look
Ladies and gentlemen here it is! My first YouTube video! What I wanted to do with this was show you how I would take what I consider my typical day look (for school, work etc) and how to turn it to night for a special event. From a slight change of the hair, to changing the makeup.
I normally go neutral and simple for a day to day basis. So I went with a soft brown and a shimmery gold. To transform into night I added a matte black shadow to intensify the outer corner and added more of the brown to the crease to add extra depth. I then accentuated my cheek bones with extra bronzer and a beautiful highlight. Then making my lips look full with a two tone lip colour; a deep red on the outer corners, fading into a light pink in the very center.
If you like what you see comment and subscribe to my channel. More will be coming and I'd like to hear what you have to say. I know the quality is shitty I'm sorry, I still need to get a better camera and a tripod. Also I need to figure out how to light my videos better.
I hope you all enjoyed this! I'll speak to you next time!
