Makeup For Youtube Videos

One of the biggest struggles I hear from my clients and viewers like you when it comes to creating video content is that you don't like the way you look on camera or you don't feel pretty enough to be on camera. Look, I get it. This space, this is not natural, this is makeup. It took me about a half an hour to get ready today and in this video I wanted to give you some tips and tricks on what I do to get camera ready and the makeup I use. Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of Just the Tips with Trina where I provide online entrepreneurs tips and tricks on how to create a video content strategy that works for them.

And we're all on social media these days, so you can check me out right up here where you can see what I'm doing up to on a daily, if not weekly basis. Just head on over there, follow me, do your thing. Like I said today, I want to give you some tips and tricks on doing makeup for being on video. Being on video is a different type of makeup than everyday makeup. Since lighting is so important when it comes to video, it's really going to wash you out. So you do have to focus on makeup a little bit. But I really preach doing batch filming so that you take the time to do your makeup and you do a month's worth of videos in one day. So you only have to worry about doing this routine once a month. What I start with when I do my makeup is a foundation. I have full coverage foundation. This is tarte Amazonian clay foundation. This is a little bit more pricier. I use it. If I'm going to do a lot of videos, I know I'm going to be sweating that day because I'm going to be in front of the lights. So if I'm doing a lot of videos, I will use this foundation. So another option that I use is this Rimmel London Lasting Finish foundation. It's not as full coverage as the other one. It's a lot more syrupy or thinner. It's great. It covers up any blemishes that you might have. And this is another one that I use quite frequently. Alright, so you got that first layer on. So now. So now we're going to go to under eye concealer. Because I'm a mom and I'm pregnant, so I do have bags under my eyes. One of the Best products that I use to really cover those under eye bags is this Maybelline Instant Age Rewinder, Eraser, Dark Circle. Now, they do have these in different colors, but the one I really like is. It's called the brightener. The brightener? Yeah. I think there's light dark, there's different colors, but the brightener is more pink and it does a lot more to cover up those under eye circles that we all probably struggle with. So after the under eye makeup, you really want to make sure that stays while you're filming and you're in front of these lights. So a setting powder that I use is this Laura Mercier translucent powder. I got it from Sephora, which the higher end products that I show are from Sephora. Lower end are obviously from Target. There's nothing one better than the other. It's just I like to try different things. I will use this with a little brush and pat it under my eyes to make sure that the under eye concealer just stays there during filming. Then I use the little poof guy that comes with this and pat it all over my face just to really set that makeup so that it's not sweating off my face and I don't look like, you know, a total mess on camera. Then I will use this bronzer and this is great because the lights do wash you out. It's just a fact. It's going to make you look a lot whiter, so you want to do some contouring. So what I do with this, it has a nice little brush here. This is from Benefit. And I will brush some bronzer right under my cheekbone on both sides, on the sides of my nose, and then just around my face, on the edges of my face, just to give me a little bit of color because of those bright lights. Then I will use a blush, put it right here on my cheeks. And I use this hourglass bronzer. I mean, blush looks like this just on the cheeks here. And then finally, to really make my face pop, I'll put some highlighter illuminator stuff right here, right on my cheekbones, right under my eyes. A C formation right here. I use this Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector kind of looks like this. I don't use a lot because you can look a little white there. So I just pat a little bit on under my eyes and up around my eyebrows while we're on eyebrows. Again, if you have light eyebrows, you need to do something to make them stand out, especially on camera. I use this gimme brow product from Benefit. It has like a Little spoolie with some tinted paint. Pretty much you just brush through your eyebrows and then comb them down and it just gives them a little tint to make them stand out on camera a little bit better. Alright, we're moving right along with this process. Next is obviously some mascara. I use this too Faced brand better than sexual mascara. And I'll put all the products down below in the description box so that you can make sure if you want to check them out, you know what they're called and the brand that they're from. I use this mascara because it does give a fuller eyelash look as opposed to putting fake eyelashes on or whatever. I do have some sensitive eyes so I have to be careful with the mascara I use. I will do some eyeliner, trust me. I. Eyelining has taken me probably four years to master and these eyes still aren't perfect. But I do use this Kat Von D tattoo liner because it does have such a point applicator. It's easier to put on. Then it's time for a little bit of eyeshadow. I have two eyeshadow palettes that I use. This is the Naked two from Urban Decay. It's got a lot of different eyeshadows in it and then the it cosmetic Natural Pretty eyeshadow. It's got a lot of colors in it and it's basically all that I need to really, you know, just look a little bit more professional. Jazz up my look a bit more. One other product I forgot to mention is a lipstick Women, especially for you. Again, the lights are going to wash you out so you really want to make sure that you either have some tinted chapstick on your lips or a lipstick just for filming. Because you really need to make your lips pop because it's just going to look better on camera. It's going to make you feel better when you do. Watch yourself back. I like this one from Tarte. It's a lippy lingerie and the color is Envy. I like it because it sticks to my lips. I don't have to worry about it getting on my teeth, which is another thing you have to watch when you're doing videos. If you're using lipstick, make sure you don't get any on your teeth. I've been there before, so definitely try out a lip color. It doesn't have to be anything super fancy. It just needs to be used during your video. If you are a guy and you're watching this, obviously you're not putting mascara on and stuff. One thing I would definitely recommend is buying some kind of setting powder. Another great one that I like to use is from CoverGirl. It is the clear. I forget what it's called, but I'll let you know down below the exact setting power from target that I like. Just pat it right here in your T zone and down your nose and maybe on your chin because that's where you're going to be the most shiniest. If you do have dark circles as a guide, go ahead and use some concealer or that under eye concealer that I talked about for under your eyes. Those are the makeup tips that I have. That's my process. Again, it takes me about a half an hour to do this, but then I'll film six videos in one day and that's three weeks worth of content for me because I'm putting up two videos a week. This isn't the typical face. If you watch me on Snapchat or Instagram, I usually have a sloppy bun and no makeup on. So this is something I do once a week to create video content to just look more presentable and to really feel better about myself on camera.
