Product Focus / Benefit's High Beam [+Mini Tutorial]

[Ev3ryDayFabULoUS]

highbeam looks gorgeous on you!

i have it, but it just doesn't really do much for me. Great review though hun!

btw i Love this look! <3

[lipSH0CK]

@Ev3ryDayFabULoUS You should check it out their newest liquid highlighter, Sun Beam. =)

[Ev3ryDayFabULoUS]

@lipSH0CK ooh i will! ^.^

[MelyssaDTV]

Love your hair! Give me information, I want the same "ombré" hair effect!

[lipSH0CK]

@MelyssaDTV Thanks! It's just a deep mahogany on the ends here from a previous dye job.

[TheNaturalibra]

You are incredibly sweet and endearing. Your tutorials are very well put together and you're very likable. I've been looking around for makeup guru's who I can subscribe to and I will with you. ouwithout calling out any other popular makeup gurus, I will just say, you are very original, personable, friendly, honest, to the point, and respond to people in a very friendly way. Thank you. #subscribing!

[lipSH0CK]

@TheNaturalibra This comment made me smile. =) I appreciate your feedback and you subscribing to my channel. Welcome to the family!

[Nathiya18]

Have you tried moon beam? Which one would be better for women of color?

[lipSH0CK]

@Nathiya18 They both work for women of colour. High Beam has a silver-pink finish, Moon Beam has a golden-pink finish.

[Nathiya18]

@lipSH0CK Reason is because many reviews online claim that when women of color use moon beam, it ends up looking purplish.

[lipSH0CK]

@Nathiya18 I've never experienced that but everyone's skin chemistry is different.

[molisanto]

you are like the most beautiful youtuber! wow!!

[lipSH0CK]

@molisanto *blushing* Oh, wow. That is so nice of you to write.  Thank you!

[MzWest35]

[RenelVisionary01]

Have you ever done a tutorial on Iman cosmetics? What do you think of her brand?

[lipSH0CK]

@RenelVisionary01 I've never used IMAN cosmetics.

[milamonster]

also wondering, i have super oily skin, would u recommend this or anyother highlight?

[lipSH0CK]

@milamonster Yes, just use it sparingly.

[milamonster]

im glad u did this. ive always wondered about this product for my nw45 tone. i think ill get it =D

[lipSH0CK]

@milamonster Great future purchase! =) You'll love it.

[fiercedeluxe]

Thanks

[lipSH0CK]

@fiercedeluxe No problem!

[fiercedeluxe]

I love this product...been using it for years. Please make another video soon.

[lipSH0CK]

@fiercedeluxe I have some videos coming up! Just finishing editing them. =)

[lipSH0CK]

@daniellejessyca If you're asking whether this is my real hair or not, it's not.

[cindypltnm]

I miss ur vids...Seconndly, I happen to agree with you on this product. I'm a NW 47 and had sample bottle of this product for months before I actually tried. To my surprise it blended in beatifully within my skin tone. I'd always assume that this product because of the light pigmented color, it would not fit! So for those of you NW 45 women and up...please try it, it is really an understated beautiful liquid high lighter:)

[lipSH0CK]

@cindypltnm Yessss! I love when people leave their own firsthand experiences with products I love and recommend! It's such a universal highlighter. =) So glad you liked it!

[LoveRevolutioization]

Love your videos! I kinda have a question: what makeup would you suggest for a beginner (I've never worn makeup) and has mild acne? Thanks for the advice!

[lipSH0CK]

@LoveRevolutioization Are you asking about face makeup?

[kshanee2]

Can I ask where you purchased you lace wig unit from it looks AUH-Mazing on you!

[lipSH0CK]

@kshanee2 Private vendor.

[12pinkbubblez]

your soo pretty! :)

[lipSH0CK]

@12pinkbubblez Thank you! You're very sweet!

[kraven2113]

Can you do a video on your hair? It looks beautiful! Is it all yours?!

[lipSH0CK]

@kraven2113 No, it's a lace wig.

[kraven2113]

@lipSH0CK Wow it's lovely can you review it?

[lipSH0CK]

@kraven2113 I bought this one almost 4 years ago and it was purchased from a private vendor. I may start doing future reviews on my wigs since everyone seems to be rather interested in them (lol).

[LadyVeeStar]

Hey Lipsh0ck! Love your vids when are u going to make some more?

[lipSH0CK]

@LadyVeeStar Very soon, my lovely. =) Very soon!

[mzthng7]

Can you tell me where you got the decal on your wall?

[lipSH0CK]

@mzthng7 Target. 

[cinnamonsdelight]

What camera do you use?

[lipSH0CK]

@cinnamonsdelight A Canon VIXIA HD camcorder.

[cindypltnm]

@lipSH0CK I have this same Canon and I am still adjusting the settings. Your vid quality looks great, you need to share! I don't do enoughv ids, nor do I play around with my Canon enough and I have had it since last year:(

[lipSH0CK]

@cindypltnm Hm, it might not be your settings because I don't really shoot off of the automatic mode. It might be your lighting, to be honest. This camcorder doesn't perform that well in low light, so I have to make the room BRIGHT AS HELL. LOL.

[Anon00092]

i really enjoy watching your videos it's really hard finding dark skinned gurus on youtube!

[lipSH0CK]

@Anon00092 Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy them and I hope you stick around. =)

[DrGirlfriendPHD]

@lipSHOCK WHERE ART THOU BEAUTIFUL?!

[lipSH0CK]

@DrGirlfriendPHD Aw. =)  I'll be back soon. I was having video issues (ugh).

[meikala]

[Dollface30100]

Amazing WoW!!!

[lipSH0CK]

@Dollface30100 Thank you!

[MelyssaDTV]

What's the hair?

[lipSH0CK]

@MelyssaDTV This is the same hair as in the my latest videos. I just dyed it a dark brown.

[MelandMakeup]

I love your darker hair!!! xoxo

[lipSH0CK]

@MelandMakeup Thanks.

[Triniluvfashion]

Girl once I saw this video..I went out and got high beam...LOVE IIITTTT...THANKS BOO..my favs

[lipSH0CK]

@Triniluvfashion It's a great highlighter! ;p Glad you liked it!

[XXBeautyByBXX]

What color eyeshadows are you wearing in this video??

[lipSH0CK]

@XXBeautyByBXX A brown in my crease and a matte green on my lid -- both from the BH 88 matte palette. I have a M.A.C eyeshadow in my tearduct. There will be a "mini" tutorial for this look.

[butterfly9871000]

hey..I love your make-up tutorial videos you are the queen of make-up tutorials..I have a question I am very dark skin..can a dark skin girl like me contour my face after application of my foundation?..and if yes what color and product can I use to contour my face with?

[lipSH0CK]

@butterfly9871000 How deep would you say your complexion is? If you can, use a celebrity comparison. =)

[butterfly9871000]

@lipSH0CK hey..well I cant think of a female celeb but I am as dark as lance gross the actor in house of payne by tyler perry but a slight light but I am as dark as him...what can I use to contour and highlight my face with..do you have any advice thank you so much

[lipSH0CK]

@butterfly9871000 I find that on really deep complexions, contouring isn't necessary. I would rather focus more on sculpting the cheeks with blush and using highlighters to make the cheekbones stand out.

[butterfly9871000]

@lipSH0CK thank you so much girl..I just love your makeup tutorials alot and as a darkskin girl I feel that I am limited to wear certain colors on my skin because Im worried how am I going to look...but wait I wanted to ask I wear glasses right and I want to wear eyelashes so bad should let my glasses stand in the way of me wearing my fake lashes?..and what highlighters would you recommend for me to use because my bday is coming up in november and I want to give myself a extreme makeover...

[lipSH0CK]

@butterfly9871000 I don't like to wear false lashes with my glasses.

[Tirimisou]

Beautiful! Im subbing :)

[lipSH0CK]

@Tirimisou Cute username. Thank you for subscribing! =)

[BebeCurl]

I love the color combinations you use on your eyes and how they compliment the colors you place on your cheeks and lips. 

[lipSH0CK]

@BebeCurl This made me smile because I still struggle trying to find the right combination and balance. Sometimes it doesn't always work. lol.

[ulovemegz]

I need to get me some of thattttt! lol LOVING the make up!!!

[lipSH0CK]

@ulovemegz Yes, you do! It would be so pretty on you!

[BritPopPrincess]

I notice the most random things...but your engagement ring always turns around...mine does that arrg so annoying!!!lol now im engaged I notice these things anywhoo..congratulations and I love your vids!

[lipSH0CK]

@BritPopPrincess Aw, thank you so much for commenting, Patricia. =) The ring does move around a lot -- especially after getting it resized twice. I appreciate the congrats but it's not an engagement ring -- it's a promise ring. ^__^

[BritPopPrincess]

@lipSH0CK

opps well its still gorgeous! i was thinking of getting my ring resized but It seems there may be no point, damn skinny fingers x

[lipSH0CK]

@BritPopPrincess You should get it resized! You don't want it falling off of your finger, beb. =p

[fayfayglam83]

what color green are you wearing in this vid pleeeese do a vid thanks

[lipSH0CK]

@fayfayglam83 It is from the BH Cosmetics 88 Palette.

[lipSH0CK]

@ixheartxmakeup It's been requested. It will be up as soon as I get around to filming it.

[Creation182]

Whoops sorry about that.. I meant can you do a video on how you use bright bold lipstick colors and glosses to compliment darker skins tones.. thanks..

[lipSH0CK]

@Creation182 I'm pretty sure Erin of Scandalous Beauty did a video like this -- you should check it out over at her channel here on YT. She offers some of the best tips when it comes to topics such as this. I, on the other hand, rather focus on the actual application of said colours -- not so much the colour theory and mechanics.

[Creation182]

@lipSH0CK I understand thank-you for responding and LOVE your tutorials... thank you so much for giving a girl so many different ideas for looks!! Thanks

[lipSH0CK]

@Creation182 But I will be doing a video on my favourite bright and bold lip colours, so I'm sure when that video goes up I will include some tiny tips in there. ;p Thank you for understanding!

[Creation182]

@lipSH0CK rubs hands together.. in delight.. looking so forward to it!! lol.. Thanks!

[Creation182]

Hi there.. If you are unable to take this request I will respect that. BUT if possible.. lol.. can you do a video on the marvelous ways you make bright colors look great with darker skin tones. I LOVE all the different lip colors that you wear.. opens my mind to all the other colors I can wear.. BRAVO.. love your channel!!

[pinkpebl]

It looks gorgeous on you! I have the golden one called moon beam and i love it. Just like you i hate the applicator. xx

[lipSH0CK]

@pinkpebl I have the Moon Beam too! I am going to use it a future tutorial. =)

[missbubbie]

I know you'll be doing a tutorial on this look, but can you tell me if there's a MAC substitute for that green eyeshadow. Thx!

[lipSH0CK]

@missbubbie I do not know M.A.C. colours off the top of my head, so I'm afraid I don't know of a substitute.

[dancer2cry4]

amerie?

[lipSH0CK]

@dancer2cry4 No, Nicky. =p

[SuperGbaby2009]

Your videos are amazing! I know I'm going to have a good day if I get an email your a video from you has posted!. Not to be a bother, but BHCosmetics is having a sale until tomorrow and I was reading through the comments to find out where that shadow is from. I did find where you said it was BH, but they have like 100 different kinds. I just want to be ready to do this look when you post the video! Which palette and what edition? Thanks for everything you do, even reading and responding to me

[lipSH0CK]

@SuperGbaby2009 It's the 88 Matte Palette.

[S1MNICITY]

everything about your videos is perfection....

your makeup applicatio... the editing... and the way you communicate w/ your audience... so glad I found this channel. Only problem is I'm going to go broke being a lipSHOCK discipline because I want to try everything you recommend ;-)

[lipSH0CK]

@S1MNICITY I love these types of comments! You are so nice to leave such a positive message! Thank you so much!

[MontanaKnotts]

you should do a tutorial like with all of your coastal scents things like just showing the things you have from that

[lipSH0CK]

@MontanaKnotts Thanks for the suggestion. I don't really have a desire to showcase them in a video that isn't a tutorial but we'll see.

[queenbeaesq]

Still waiting on the Adele video ;o). Also can we have a Kelly Rowland tutorial please, her makeup has been looking fire recently. I know I know, I am acting like I pay you lol!

[lipSH0CK]

@queenbeaesq I'll get to those when I can.

[MontanaKnotts]

do you ever use coastal scents?

[lipSH0CK]

@MontanaKnotts I have a few tutorials up using CS palettes.

[89CoutureBarbie89]

ohh ok thanks lol i've never done one of those before... yours looks so realistic!! did you apply it yourself? or did you get a professional to do it

[lipSH0CK]

@89CoutureBarbie89 I do everything myself.

[89CoutureBarbie89]

omg i love your hair!! i want my hair to look EXACTLY like yours lol please tell us how you did it!

[lipSH0CK]

@89CoutureBarbie89 It is a lace wig.

[89CoutureBarbie89]

@lipSH0CK

thanks for the answer, what is the name of the one you have on? it's one of the most naturallooking ones I've seen! And how did you apply it?

[lipSH0CK]

@89CoutureBarbie89 There is no name. It is custom made from a private vendor.

[isiomae]

yay! I really needed a review of this from someone who looks like me...lol. Much appreciated. :)

[lipSH0CK]

@isiomae Glad this helped. =)

[JennaiM]

You are always on point if you taught a makeup class i'd go

[lipSH0CK]

@JennaiM That's nice of you to say but I don't think that would happen any time soon. Hehe. I'm a horrible public speaker. =)

[tickledxoxpink]

Great review! Please do more of these product reviews with a mini tutorial at the end of the video. It's a helpful format. 

[lipSH0CK]

@tickledxoxpink Thank you! I will do this type of format in the future. =)

[miaboo29]

is that a lace front?

[lipSH0CK]

@miaboo29 No.  It's a full lace.

[xCupcakeBrown]

Can you do a video on how to actually apply a highlighter? I'm new to makeup.

[lipSH0CK]

@xCupcakeBrown Did you watch the end of this video? I showed how to apply the highlighter.

[LadyVeeStar]

I guess I mean a classic smokey eye using blacks or browns. But I am looking forward to the smokey looks that you will be showing for this fall!

[lipSH0CK]

@LadyVeeStar I got ya. There will be a smoky look using those two colours. =)

[Aprilm313]

Wow your eyes look great in here, can you please, please do a tutorial on them.... I would greatly appreciate it....

[lipSH0CK]

@Aprilm313 Yes, a tutorial will be done for this look.

[ELEXSEX]

[nicolediamond]

[lipSH0CK]

@nicolediamond Talk about what I'm doing? What do you mean?

[nicolediamond]

@lipSH0CK Like styling or daily maintenance - I think a lot of ladies would love to see that

[lipSH0CK]

@nicolediamond Oh, right. Thanks for the suggestion but I really don't think I will be doing any hair-related videos.

[sarahelunda]

you look good with dark hair!

[lipSH0CK]

@sarahelunda Thanks!

[LadyVeeStar]

I have to say that I absolutely love your vids! could I make a request to see how you would do a classic smokey eye? We are about the same complexion and I would love to see how it would look.

Thank you

[lipSH0CK]

@LadyVeeStar A classic smoky eye? Not sure I know what that is but I do have some smoky looks coming up for the fall. =)
