 Good morning, I'm Mary Ellen and today I'm going to do a get ready with me and I'm gonna be chatting and Just kind of spending some time together. Just kind of like friends sitting talking with each other I do not do tutorials because I am not a makeup artist. I just enjoy it. I'm enjoying it more I am enjoying it more. I'm wearing my bathrobe I don't know for sure what I'm gonna put on so I just thought I'd go ahead and film this while I was getting ready So here I go. I'm gonna start out with my eyelid primer and I have a mirror right here I'm gonna see if I can do this without having to hold on to a mirror, but I just use the tiniest amount I mean tiny of the Milani eyeshadow primer. They don't make my very favorite Primer anymore. So this this works real well for me and I have to I can't use concealer I can't use foundation. I just I have to use a primer because it just doesn't last I'm gonna try not to talk about the products. I'm using Just sit here and talk maybe talk about jobs. I've had in the past. I don't know But we'll just sit here and talk my sister told me I have two sisters One is 71 and one is 74 and my 71 year old sister told me it was time for me to talk about makeup Because she knows how much I love makeup But I haven't had as much of a passion for it since the pandemic, but I'm I'm getting there just one pump of this and That's the dermatology Tension moisturizer and you'll see it doesn't really leave a tent But it keeps it from being white and one pump is really all I need If I'm gonna be outside I use other things to keep my face out of the sun and my neck and my decollete I use a hat. I use sunglasses. I I'm out in the sun about 15 minutes a day Just so I can get my vitamin D. This is the foundation I have heard my friend Kathy from Kathy's beauty care chat chats Mention a ton and I'm gonna use one pump and I bought the mini bottle of the tart found sealer And I bought mine in medium neutral and I'm just gonna put one pump on My wrist and I think you can go through any of my videos And I have never put a liquid foundation on with a brush Until I bought this and I bought this from BK beauty and it is the 101 brush And I love it for powder and for liquid foundation There's just something about it that you know, I like all my other brushes that I have but there's just something I like better about this so I'm just gonna put a little on Get it around my eyes first and I just tried to get it on the area that needs the most coverage and I'm always really gentle around my eyes and I don't use a Concealer the very first job I had was babysitting and I was about 12 years old I absolutely loved it. I was the youngest of three So I wasn't really around a lot of younger children And it was a pretty good gig in our town because you would get the same people asking for you again and again And that worked until I was about 16 and that's when I could date. I didn't babysit very often after I was 16 Now with a little bit There's just a tiny dab left on my hand and I'm gonna use this brush this into this brush I love this brush. This does really great for powder and for blush But I never did like it for foundation. So I'm gonna get whatever's left on my hand and put it right here and Usually right around my eyebrows for some reason I it doesn't take foundation very well And I don't know why and if I put foundation just in this area There's no need for me really to go down my neck unless I just want to because I don't really share I just share it out to here, but I do like the new tart foundation See, I've been using the next product for probably three or four months and I love it It's called the brow freeze by ABH I had been looking for an alternative to my hairspray Because I do this every day and you just I've just bent a Old brow brush. I washed it and I bent it just so I could just dab it in here But this will keep my brows in place without my eyebrows flaking. So I'm just gonna go like this I get a little bit on there and I don't have to go back in and get more and Even my unruly brows the ones that are a little bit longer. I don't have to do anything with them Well, my brows are drying. I'm gonna go ahead and put on my lipstick and it is and I really do like it I'm not in love, but I like it. It is from Buxom and it's the full force Plumping lipstick and this is probably the most neutral color that I have because I'm gonna do a neutral Neutral to warm look which I usually don't do but this is called supermodel and I use it without any putting anything underneath my You know, I I don't prime my lips and I don't have on any Lip liner. I just go straight into it and it does not bleed. So and with three swipes one two three swipes You've got you know a nice subtle lip and and this is the palette. I'm gonna use today It's by Emily Noel 83 and it's makeup revolution made it and it's her the Emily edit And this is the second one I purchased when they came out Emily sent me both of them in PR I gave my PR away. I bought one for myself and and this was the other one and again, I gave my PR away I bought this I have not repurchased this one. It is beautiful. There are so many colors I don't think I'll ever need to repurchase that and in the next job. I had I was 17 years old I graduated from high school and I got a job full-time at the bank as a bank teller and I really liked it It was right downtown. It was like right next door to my dad's business and I was a paying I was a paying and receiving teller and then I worked up to being a note teller But I tell you what I learned so much from working at a bank I knew that what people what people wore what people looked like what kind of jewelry they had it had nothing to do with How much money they had I don't know if I've told this before but I think it's pretty funny You know, we were always taught to do what we were supposed to do do what you're supposed to do and and you'll be okay Well one day dad noticed my car wasn't there and When he came home for lunch, he said are you sick and I said no He said he said well, why aren't you at work? And I said well you get one sick day a month and he said Mary Ellen He said that's you're supposed to be sick and I had no idea I thought oh, if you get one sick day a month, you better take it because you're gonna lose it. So anyway So that was in 1971. I got married in January of 1972 and I worked there until I had my son in 1975 and I tell you what it was a very learning experience. I'm gonna use gratitude It is the highlighter, but I'm gonna use it on my inner part of my lid right there on both of these So I stayed home with my children I had another child in 1977 and I did a little bit of adult education for a while and I enjoyed that a lot that I would do like Two weeks, I'd work two weeks every three months and my mom and dad would come out and babysit It was it was or else I'd take the kids in there, but it was really nice And in 1979 I Became I took a job one day a week as a waitress at a nice restaurant And I learned a whole lot there if you have a good memory and you treat all your customers alike Which you should anyway, you can really make a lot of money being waitress Now I'm gonna put a little bit of powder on my face I have big big windows in here and the Sun's gonna come up It's gonna be bright and then it's not going to be and when the Sun is really bright my skin really shines So I'm not sure what it's doing now, but I'm gonna go ahead and put some of the powder What I like about this palette is that it has everything you need in it It was wonderful to travel with when we were traveling and we will travel again But I hope I got all my shiny places I think this video is gonna be too long if I talk about all my jobs So I'll I'll continue with those later I really haven't had that many jobs or that many Addresses in my life. The next is my superhero mascara. You know, I love it It's I've saved a ton of money by not buying other mascaras I really have found the one that I liked and for me, it's as good as it gets but I'm not gonna be able to use this The mirror I'm looking at right now is a one-time Magnification and I can't do mascara with that. So I'm just gonna take it out of here I opened this up the first day of autumn and I do that the first day of every season and that way I know that my mascara is aren't gonna they're gonna be good So I just always look right down and I don't curl my lashes anymore six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve and Then I take just a wand that doesn't have anything on it And that's not bad lashes for one for twelve for twelve swipes. It's not bad I like it. I mean, I'm happy with the length of my lashes and I do use the Grande lash and I could have them a lot longer, but this is fine for me and after I have my mascara on I use the Milani I found it and it's blue and I really like it And I don't know if it stays put in the upper waterline if you buy any other shade But then blue does and I just go like this. I don't touch You never see me pull and tug at my eyes Because if I couldn't do this, I just would skip it, but I really think it makes a dramatic look and it does Wait make the whites of my eyes wider and I'm gonna use the darkest color in here and I'm just gonna squirt a little bit of water on the lid and Like I've said many times. I don't need fix plus I don't need anything But I like just plain old water and it stays and I only dip this into just a certain part of That I always use the top part of the eye shadow Because it will sometimes make it hard where you can't use it as eye shadow anymore But I'm using this other brush that is I love it. It's a 208 it's a tiniest little brush, but it does such a good job putting on my eyeshadow eyeliner And I make a little tiny wing up like that And I don't ever put it down there. I could but I have I do have But I do have tattoo eyeliner and I've had it for probably 10 plus years I really I can't remember exactly when I got it, but I knew that Jim and I were we were going to Branson And I'm not kidding you I could not believe it how bruised my eyelids were and it was just like the most beautiful Shade of I mean it was just like beautiful eye shadow And it but I would do it again in a heartbeat if I needed to but I don't think I'll need to because I've it stayed this long Now to make this area less dark I use a light eye shadow and it it does work for me better than Any kind of concealer or just regular powder will work for me and I just kind of Dab it on right in through there, and I hope you can see how it lightens that up That's the darkest area on my face and Then I'm going to use a little contour Which I usually don't but I'm going to try just a little bit and I'm going to use the end of this brush and Just barely touch it in there and go like this and like this Lend it out Wind it up I want my face to fall any more than it has and The blush in this palette is called joy and I'll tell you now. This is going to be a giveaway I usually don't tell you at this point, but I'm looking forward to my giveaway and Then if I want to put a little highlighter on I will and I'll just put it on the top of my cheek And that's called gratitude So that is it for today as far as makeup goes I'm not gonna now that I'm not using hairspray Oh my brows. I need to find another use for it. I know I'll come up with something Okay for the giveaway today.
