A makeup tutorial on applying dark lipstick, comparing a peachy shade to deep "Black Rose." She skips lip liner at first, applies it after for a velvety finish, and pairs it with blue eyeliner for a modern-1920s look. She also reflects on the makeup community's repetitive content and why she made the video.
I could go 2 ways with this lip. I could make it like a peachy kind of— go with something like this. Or I can immediately just go to Black Rose, which— Makeup by Josh, I can't— I'll never stop thinking about you without it. Again, lazy makeup artist. Don't like to put liners on. That always ruins me in the end. So, but for you guys, I'm going to try to be as detailed as I can. But I'm not going to do a liner first. I'll do the liner afterwards. Who knows? Sometimes I don't know what I'm going to do until I just do it. I think I'm— yeah, I want it to be the deep color because I've got this beautiful blue eyeliner on. Let's put the red. So blue and red. If we really think about it. And those are the colors. See, already, what the hell? Why this color makes me laugh. I was going on a date. I had to be downtown in like minutes, and I had no makeup on. Makeup by Josh was with me. And I'm like, oh, I'll just throw this on real quick. And I just took it. He's like, oh my God! You would have thought I was holding a baby over a balcony. See, that looks crazy, but I'm gonna go in afterwards and fix it. So I'm not trying to line it. I'll go in with a liner after. See? And then this goes. So. Huh? Smoke and mirrors, y'all. Smoke and mirrors. This is more like a boudoir look, kind of 1920s in a sense, a modern 1920s. Someone's in the comments like, um, actually, actually, that's more of a, um, retro, you know. Great. You tell me, guys. You tell me whatever you need to do. When people talk about Instagram makeup artists or Instagram YouTube or YouTube makeup artists, yeah, some of it's a little stupid because they're all learning from each other. They're all watching each other's videos and regurgitating the same stupid information. Some of it's awesome, but some of it's really bad. But you can't hate if they're gonna sit and do it and make the videos and try to you know. Be creative and be a light in other people's lives with what they, what they know, then good, good, keep doing it. I did this video today because, you know, I taught that lesson yesterday and another friend of mine was like, why aren't you doing YouTube videos? I don't know. 'Cause I don't know why I haven't done them, really. Okay. Ooh, goddamn, so fucking fierce. Oh shit. Oh god. What I love about this color, it just looks so velvety.
