 Good morning. I'm Mary Ellen from the channel Mary Ellen after 60 and today I'm going to do a get ready with me eyes basically and believe it or not this one was requested by several of you it was a look that I did when I did my yearly skincare update and I also want to announce two winners of my last giveaway and today I'm just going to be using brushes from BK Beauty I had purchased a set and then I purchased two additional brushes and Lisa from BK Beauty sent me her new collection so I'm going to be using some of those brushes today but I want to talk a little bit about brushes. I am not a connoisseur I will tell you that Trish McAvoy I have purchased a lot of Trish McAvoy brushes I bought a set and then I bought one every month until I had everything that I wanted and I still love those I love some of my real techniques and my eco tools I think somebody who is good with makeup can absolutely use anything if they're just using their fingers if you're good with makeup you can do it there's several things I like about her brushes they are very gentle on your skin in the video that I talked about them I said they are soft where they need to be soft and firm where they need to be firm well I want my tip really soft I want my tip to move so it doesn't manipulate my skin whether it's on my eyes or on my face I tap my skin I do not massage it it's I'm 66 years old and I've never had any type of procedures and I don't have any special lighting and I don't use filters this is just who I am the way a brush is cut is important because it'll just pick up product more evenly it just makes it easier to do I've been using makeup for over 50 years and I never liked sponges that back in the day those wedges were really popular but I found a few brushes even back then and that's how I applied my I makeup with the exception of the little sponge tips and I bought some sponge tip because if I want to use any like shimmery shadows on my lids I want I like to use the foam tips is what I'm trying to talk about what I can tell you Lisa's brushes are excellent quality she gives a part of every purchase she gives it to the kindness campaign that's just her mission in the video where I spoke about him first after she saw it she offered me a 10% discount for my viewers or anybody who wants to use it it is not anything that I earn money for it's just a 10% discount for you so I'm going to go ahead and get started with my get ready with me before I get started I'm going to do two things I'm going to put on some lipstick and I'm going to do my eyebrows and then I'll do the rest of it and what I'm going to use is what I think I think they have quit selling it but it probably is one of my all-time favorites it's a it cosmetics at lip stain in inspiring red and I want and you can do what I like about it is you can do just a little or a lot and I think today I put on a healthy coat of it but it will literally stain my lips and stay and I hope they don't quit making them but you know there's another product I have today that they quit making some time ago and I bought the replacement what they put out instead and I have on my tart creaseless eyelid primer and then I purchased what the other one from Tarte and you can see how little I used I just so disappointing that it's not good but I will tell you I learned this from a youtuber probably about five years ago if you have an eyelid primer that doesn't work on your eyelids that it's good to put them like if you wear glasses if you put that eyelid primer like where you were your little things you know I'm talking about it'll keep your makeup on now I'm gonna put on some brow gel and I don't have any anything on my brows right now but I had four and I told you some time ago I would let you know which was the best I had the Ulta and one from Sigma the Anastasia which I have I like and I've used I've used it on and off for some time and the NYX control freak and I'll tell you which one is the best the NYX control freak with the wand from Sigma because it has and it works and it fits it has a very short wand and the one from NYX or NYX it's a regular size mascara one so I used the Sigma up and then I put this in that and it works so I'm just gonna go ahead and do my eyebrows okay on my face I have the CC plus powder I have my it superhero mascara that will be open anew in the first day of spring and that's how I keep track of it fingernail polish doesn't work but I will throw this away and take my little hair tie I have that I have the milk navy eyeliner in my upper waterline I do have permanent eyeliner and that's it I don't have on any concealer or I don't have anything else or primer just that's what I've got the other day I did a get ready with me and it was like really really long so I may put some photos in but this is the number 106 brush from BK Beauty this knocked my it cosmetics dual-ended brushes at a first place and they've been in there for so so long what I like about our brushes they are soft where they need to be soft but they are dense where they need to be dense they don't give so I can just get in there and put my powder and that's the only time I use a brush if it's foundation I use my fingers but I do like powder foundation and this was this was my favorite my favorite so I even use this I do have pat the CC plus powder on my eyelids I always I usually powder my eyelids gives me a little SPF and I'm gonna use a light colored shadow anyway to begin with so I'm gonna go ahead and get started on the look that I did in that video and then I'll put on my blush and go from there and I use the Kat Von D palette and I will put it up here as long as I own this I will never need to buy a transition color because as you can see on the top the three colors those are all perfect for transition and I use the middle section is what I use and all of the brushes I'm going to be using are BK Beauty so this is the number 203 and I'm just going to apply the output number one pretty well all over my eyelids I'm not the best about recreating looks that I did before but to my knowledge this is what I did and something I want you to notice about brushes how little what I look for in a brush is something that does not move my eyelids around a lot because I think that's part of the reason that my eyelids aren't creepy yet I mean they're not youthful but they're not bad at all and I think by not manipulating them a lot and I always look for that in a brush so if you see me do this and I go right in here and go up to here and this is an all matte palette and makeup revolution makes one too that I understand is a dupe I've never tried it but I really do like the Kat Von D so I'm just gonna make sure I've got this all covered and I don't use my color switch to clean my brushes what I use is just a microfiber towel because I don't want to damage them and I don't know what I mean I just think they're a better brush so I want to take better care of them this is the 202 brush and I'm going to go into number two the color number two the shade number two and I barely barely have to touch it and I get a ton of it and I'm just going to go in right above my crease and I got a lot I went in too much but that's okay we'll just keep making it work you really have to use very little product when you use these brushes because they do pick up a lot let's see I was a little bit smarter this time took less and I won't have to work as hard I don't a lot of time I don't do the V I mean I think it all depends on how your eyes are shaped I like to kind of keep my eyes more open you know I don't want to close them in this kind of is what works for my eye shape I'd be like to try different things every now and then but I've just always kind of flicked it up on the ends right there and this is a 204 and I don't do this very often but I'm going to today I'm just gonna go right here right underneath my eyebrow and then I'm going to wipe off what I have and go underneath them back to number two I'm going to the dark brown again and just go right here just a little bit and I usually go all the way across now I'm going to use this really tiny little brush and I love it and this is what I think makes the look look so much better and I'm going to go into the black and I'm just I don't have to load it up very much I'm just going to click ahead of the couple of times and then I'm just going to go right above my lashes and you don't need anything you don't need any water and this is my favorite part I'm going to make a little wing and I just look down in my mirror and I put my eyes like this and I go like that and I go like that and if I want it to come up a little bit more I go out and there's a little wing and I'm pretty sure this is the look that I did on my skincare video now I'm going to go ahead and use my blush that small slanted brush that I did the eyeliner with or the wing with and these two brushes were given to me by Lisa this is a 107 brush this is meant for blush and this is a 108 and I think I mean brushes are a lot of times designed for certain things this would be a perfect brush for me just to do an all-over eyeshadow look one eye shadow but I think that it was probably the purpose of it was for powder underneath the eyes like if you want to set your foundation or for blush or highlight and I don't use a lot of highlights but I'm going to show you one that I really like today my favorite blush of all time is from hourglass and it is mood exposure and you know every once in a while I'll say I have a favorite of a different one but this is my go-to I got to get back and use it and I don't use very much and it lasts a long time so I'm going to barely put my brush in there and I've got someone here and I'm just going to go on my cheeks and I like to and I'm going to use the other side I load it at both sides a little bit and I have always loved kind of a sunburn look so I kind of put it all over my face and another product I use and I only use this when we're going out late afternoon early evening and here it is it's the hourglass ambient lighting powders I think is what it is well I I used this the other day when I did my get ready with me and we were going out and I just took the 105 brush and I just went across tapped it off and went ahead and just put it all over and it really looked nice and it felt so good going on I've used this to put on powder foundation too it is a lovely brush I cannot say enough thing good things about bk beauty brushes so if I wanted to use it just as a highlight I didn't put hardly any on my face I would use this brush and just go on my cheekbones and it would give just a little tiny bit of shimmer and that's all I really want is just a little bit most of the time sometimes I like to kind of push the envelope you won't be seeing any exciting travels from Jim and I coming up because something came up and we weren't able to take our trip but we can reschedule that now I want to announce the winners of my last giveaway I had two winners of the it cosmetics lip
