00:00 Hi guys, it's Vincent Oquendo, makeup artist.
00:02 So if you know me from Instagram or social media,
00:04 makeup Vincent, toss the weave back.
00:07 So I wanted to create a beauty look
00:10 based on a beauty blogger.
00:11 She's one of my absolute favorites.
00:12 It's Jackie Aina.
00:13 So she creates these really cool makeup looks,
00:16 and this look is a neon eyeliner.
00:19 (upbeat music)
00:22 Three, two, one, action.
00:27 - Hi guys, welcome back to my channel.
00:28 It's your girl, Jackie Aina.
00:30 I've already primed.
00:31 I'm going to set my primer
00:33 with a bit of translucent setting powder.
00:36 - Jackie, I'm gonna put you on pause for a minute.
00:38 Jackie, you got me all the way shook with the powder prep.
00:41 I'm like, I'm all the way shook about that.
00:43 So I'm gonna use the Maybelline Lasting Fix Powder.
00:46 Maybe I should prep my skin a little bit too.
00:48 So I'm gonna use the Barbara Sturm Calming Serum
00:50 and just get my skin prepped and primed.
00:55 I'm trying to get on Jackie's level.
00:57 I love a good serum.
00:59 Dramatic much?
01:00 Maybe.
01:01 And then I'm gonna use the EOS Lip Balm.
01:04 I love this.
01:07 And now I'm gonna use the Lumify Redness Reliever Eye Drops.
01:12 I'm gonna put one drop in each eye.
01:15 Let's see how well I can do this.
01:16 Don't judge me.
01:18 I hope I still look pretty.
01:22 Take a look at these peepers.
01:24 - I'm gonna take my Sink or Skin from Shiseido.
01:26 - Oh, love.
01:27 - Ooh, I love it too.
01:29 - I'm gonna just twist.
01:30 - Boop.
01:31 - That's just so good.
01:31 - So I'm gonna use the Diapholy brush by Shiseido.
01:35 I'm putting the Sink or Skin foundation.
01:39 I'm so glad she said she loved it because I love it.
01:43 I'm really scared about putting liquid foundation
01:46 over powder, but you know what?
01:48 It looks really good on her skin, so.
01:50 - After I push that down.
01:51 - Oh, I'm shook.
01:52 ♪ We're happy and we're singing and we're covered ♪
01:54 ♪ Give me a highlight ♪
01:56 Okay, so we need to conceal.
01:58 I think I'll call this underpainting
01:59 where you kind of highlight backwards.
02:01 Basically, I'm gonna be backlighting my under eye highlight.
02:05 - Okay, so this is one of my absolute favorite tricks to do.
02:08 I use a long-wearing concealer underneath my eyes,
02:11 something that's just not gonna budge.
02:13 That is my safety net.
02:15 It's like wearing good underwear.
02:16 When the underwear is right, honey, she supports you,
02:18 you feel good, you feel sexy, you can do anything.
02:20 So, super safe.
02:24 - So I always do my chin down.
02:26 I'm gonna go right underneath the eye.
02:28 And I love her tip about letting it cook for a minute.
02:31 I'm gonna do a brief word about undertones.
02:34 Let's say if you're a warm undertone,
02:36 you need to be using that same undertone,
02:39 but you could be paler in that undertone.
02:41 The only way you're gonna figure it out
02:42 is by trying it on your skin and giving it a minute
02:45 and then blending it out.
02:47 So we're gonna let that cook for a minute.
02:48 She has a proper pan, I got my hands.
02:51 (laughing)
02:52 Play on, Jackie.
02:52 - I'm just gonna keep it very close to the center.
02:54 - She has a little baby brush.
02:56 I like the baby brush.
02:57 I'm going right up on my brow bone.
02:59 I love how what she just did,
03:01 contoured herself with a darker color.
03:04 So I'm gonna use the Instant Age Rewind.
03:06 (soft music)
03:09 God, I look like a color by number right now.
03:11 I'm so gagged, I need to blend my eyes.
03:13 Oh my God.
03:14 Jackie, I almost forgot.
03:18 She did this little trick.
03:22 And that gives you such a good little contour.
03:26 When a flash hits that, baby.
03:30 Wait, am I about to go get a nose job?
03:32 Who is she?
03:35 You know what, Jackie?
03:37 I commend you for using these tiny brushes
03:40 because it is a lot of work doing it with the baby brush,
03:43 but the payoff is really good.
03:45 Oh, I almost forgot this side.
03:47 (gasping)
03:48 Fired.
03:49 - I feel like things changed--
03:50 - Wait, Jackie, what are you doing
03:52 with this highlighter?
03:54 Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
03:55 I can see that you're using a square, yes, a square brush.
04:00 But you're doing this for your nose highlight.
04:05 And I think you're using a concealer from what I can see.
04:08 So I'm gonna try to follow along and do it.
04:10 (soft music)
04:13 We're back.
04:16 - It's time for brows, I'm gonna do them off camera.
04:18 - I'm going to fill in my brows.
04:20 I'm using the Maybelline Brow Ultra Slam.
04:23 (humming)
04:25 And I'm going against the grain.
04:28 The brows are like someone's signature.
04:31 I don't want my brows to be too fierce today.
04:33 And also, I do boy brows with a little bit of girl
04:37 sprinkled in, a little bit of girl.
04:40 So at first, if you have very thin, sparse brows,
04:44 you wanna go against the grain,
04:46 and then you can square it off right here.
04:49 Then, from the inside of your eye,
04:52 you wanna go straight up and create flex.
04:56 And you just brush it up so it feathers it.
04:59 Then, identify the highest point.
05:01 That's the highest point of my brow.
05:03 You can punctuate the top.
05:05 Don't be afraid of taking your little concealer brush
05:09 that you used on your nose and going right underneath
05:13 to pull out your natural shape and to cheat your brows.
05:16 All of this is to make your eyes pop.
05:18 'Cause guess what, kids?
05:19 We're all wearing masks these days,
05:21 so we're gonna be like this, and guess what we got left?
05:24 Bloop, the eyes.
05:25 See you later.
05:26 If you feel like your brows have gone a little sinister,
05:29 if you feel like they have an evil plan,
05:32 then by all means, soften them up, honey.
05:36 Don't let them run the show.
05:38 Ma'am, get in line.
05:39 You don't pay bills.
05:40 I'm using a brow gel to keep these little suckers in line.
05:45 And now we're gonna do the other brow.
05:47 If this brow comes out better than the other side,
05:49 don't judge me.
05:51 Back to Jackie.
05:52 - I'm going to take the bright pink, the bright pink up top.
05:55 I'm just gonna add a little bit of white.
05:56 - I'm gonna just use my concealer as primer
05:58 like she was doing.
06:00 And I'm gonna use the Shiseido Kabuki White Kajal Ink Artist
06:05 because I like that pale, gorgeous lid.
06:08 Chin up, and I'm gonna just apply it
06:12 on the ball of my lid first.
06:13 I'm gonna go inside to the corner of my eye.
06:16 It's not an official primer,
06:18 but it's gonna do the job
06:21 'cause I have my concealer on there as well.
06:23 So it's gonna make it a little milkier like her primer was.
06:26 So I wanna get a clean brush so I can buff her out
06:29 just like Jackie did.
06:31 Get it on quick 'cause it's waterproof.
06:34 Go, you will not be able to move it.
06:36 Jackie's using a very pink shadow.
06:39 I'm gonna use a Mehron shadow.
06:42 A lot of these shadows that I'm gonna use today
06:44 are close and comparable,
06:46 but not the exact ones that she's using.
06:48 So please forgive me.
06:50 And she's gone right in the crease.
06:52 Chin up.
06:54 (gasps)
06:55 Ooh.
06:56 Ooh.
06:57 (gasps)
07:01 So the idea is is when I put my chin down,
07:03 you see a little slice of color.
07:06 All right, so we're gonna use
07:07 the Shiseido Kajal Ink Artist in Lilac Lotus.
07:13 And I'm going right onto the lid with my pop color.
07:18 So as it dries, you're gonna be able to really
07:20 concentrate it and lay a lot more of it on.
07:24 One more clean brush.
07:26 And I'm gonna just pat that brush over everything
07:31 so that it blends it in.
07:33 I feel good about that.
07:34 I feel like we're in a good place.
07:36 Back to Jackie.
07:37 - And kind of what I'm trying to say--
07:39 - She's doing liner already.
07:40 - This brush is definitely not that--
07:42 - It's a dick.
07:43 - Okay, so she used a really thick brush
07:45 and she's paying the price.
07:47 I'm gonna try to use the UZ Eye Opening Liner.
07:51 It's like the pale pink one.
07:52 She went to the inner corner first
07:55 and then she lined it all the way out
07:58 and then brought it down.
07:59 So because I know myself a little too well
08:02 and I'm not that good that I can't rest my finger.
08:05 So I'm gonna use a puff.
08:06 Oh my God.
08:11 Did anyone else not breathe?
08:12 I did not breathe that whole time.
08:16 Okay, that came out really good.
08:18 Oh my God, I'm so proud of myself.
08:24 Cue applause.
08:26 I'm going out, honey.
08:28 I'm taking the dog for a walk.
08:30 Is it even?
08:35 It's even.
08:35 I'd like to thank Beauty Scoop for believing in me.
08:40 I'd like to thank all of you.
08:42 When you nail your eyeliner,
08:44 I feel like you should get an award in the mail
08:47 or at least a Publishers Clearing House check,
08:49 like one of those giant checks.
08:51 Big tip, micellar water and pointed cotton buds.
08:57 I don't know why I don't.
08:59 This is gonna let you get a quick and easy cleanup.
09:02 It's not gonna leave your eye greasy.
09:04 Back to Jackie.
09:05 - I'm gonna apply some of that King Liner
09:08 into my waterline, just be very gentle.
09:12 - She used the pink eyeliner.
09:14 I don't think I can use this in my waterline.
09:19 So I'm going to substitute
09:21 and I'm gonna use the Maybelline Tattoo Studio
09:24 gel eyeliner pencil in my waterline.
09:27 She looks good.
09:29 Okay, it's a little theater,
09:31 but if you're doing this kind of look,
09:33 honey, you've signed up for the theater.
09:35 Welcome to the circus.
09:36 I love it.
09:37 Honey, throw me in the three rings.
09:39 When you get to the outer corner,
09:40 you're gonna pull it out slightly.
09:42 You get a little party at the end.
09:44 - And then I'm gonna jump into blush.
09:46 - Yes.
09:48 I'm gonna get a light layer of mascara on.
09:52 - So this is the final look.
09:53 That's it, I'm out.
09:54 I'm gonna take some pictures.
09:55 I look good.
09:56 Soon.
09:57 - I'm gonna do a little mist to finish everything up.
10:00 This is the Maybelline Glass Spray.
10:03 Oh, so nice.
10:06 Such a gorgeous finish.
10:08 Okay, so to sum up everything,
10:10 the biggest takeaways are don't be discouraged
10:13 if you're watching these videos
10:14 and you don't have all the makeup that they have at home.
10:17 Just substitute with whatever you have
10:19 and that you feel comfortable with
10:20 and do not be ashamed of it.
10:22 I will not judge you if you don't judge me back.
10:24 I was really shook about applying powder first
10:27 and then putting my liquid foundation over it.
10:29 I have never done that in my entire life
10:32 because I started at a makeup counter.
10:34 It was like makeup bootcamp for like five years
10:36 and the golden rule was never, ever, ever, ever, ever
10:39 put cream over powder.
10:41 If you do that, you are asking for trouble.
10:43 I am shooketh because it worked
10:47 and I really love how it looks.
10:49 So kudos to you, Jackie, for breaking the rules
10:53 and blowing my mind.
10:54 (upbeat music)
