 Hi friends today we are going to be going through all kinds of elf makeup. I love elf it is probably my favorite drugstore brand because you can go from pretty much beginning to end and get a full face of makeup and that's just great and then they have some things in their line that rival high end. So we're going to do this whole thing today and we're going to go ahead and get a full face of makeup going. I will say that I don't have two things from elf. I already have my eyeshadow primer on. It's Anastasia Beverly Hills eyeshadow primer. It is my holy grail. It is my favorite. I've never found one from elf and I didn't pick up one just specifically for this video and mascara. I really haven't found a mascara from elf that I cared for at all. So if you're new to my channel I welcome you in today and thank you so much for stopping by and hope that you do decide to subscribe and if everybody that is here would please give this video a thumbs up. That would help me so much. It does help my video get generated out there. I am going to tilt this camera just a little bit down and we're going to go ahead and get started. Very casual background. I kind of am liking just switching up and just being able to do this right here as far as just on my bed. I don't have any pillows. I'm not real fancy with my bed because I spent a lot of time in my bed. So anyway what we're going to do today is we're just going to go through every single thing and starting with primer but the one that I'm going for today is kind of my gold standard from them and many of you as well love the poreless putty primer but I am doing the luminous poreless putty primer and I really like this one because it does give a subtle glow to your skin and it's just really really pretty as far as you know kind of filling in pores and making those pores look quite diminished. It's just a really beautiful primer. I found another thing that isn't ELF but I have to use my LA girl corrector underneath my eyes. I haven't found an ELF corrector. Have you guys found one? That is a good one. I don't think that I've even tried an ELF corrector but this one from LA girl is my gold standard my holy grail. I have a few that are high end but this one just does the trick and never lets me down so I absolutely love it. By the way if you hear something in the background it's my fan. I have to have it. It is so hot. It's like over 100 degrees today. It's supposed to be so this is the palette that I'm using for my eyes. This is the ELF retro paradise palette. You guys have probably seen this a lot. This is everybody good as good quality as they normally have been lately with the little four bite sized palettes and these 18 pan palettes are no different. They're so good but I'm going to start with a pop of color to kind of set the eyes off a little bit first and then we'll go into the other one. So I'm going to use that one as my transition color and I know that in a lot of my previous videos I did a lot of the tape. I kind of gotten away from that this summer. I don't know why. It's not that I don't love the tape because I do for a beautiful crisp line out there. It's just so gorgeous but I think I've just kind of this summer gone into really just casual mode if you will. So I'm just stippling this brush across here and getting that purple built up so pretty. What a pretty purple. Not really too bright. Not really too much especially if you're light skinned. Okay next color. I'm actually going to use a fluffy brush and I'm going into this medium well it's actually pretty dark cocoa color. I'm just going to kind of try to do as few colors as possible on this eye look and then bringing this one down on the eye as the crease color. When you use a fluffier brush in a dark color you're still going to get a lighter color out of it because it's not going to lay it down as much. So keep that in mind even though that color was really dark. Look how light it's being right there because I tapped off my brush really good and I just am laying it down very lightly so it's really turning out to be pretty. It almost looks like it's another plum color in there. So I'm going to take this charcoal color right here and it is going to define the outer corner of my eye and that should deepen it up really well. Yeah that's a really deep color so that's going to go in there really well. And then because this color right here I'll show you even though it looks like it's super white right there to you guys and super bright it really isn't. It's a very kind of a sheer ish color. So I'm going to just take that color that is almost like a bone color and I'm going to mix those two together for my finger and then I'm going to spray my finger and that is going to be my lid color and I will tone that down a little bit but still bring a lot of brightness. And I'm just going to lay it across my eyelid and like I said it will be bright still but it won't be as bright as that bright white. I am not in love with that at all. Okay I don't like that at all so I'm just going to just kind of take that off a little bit. We're going to do bright. We're going to go bold. We're going to go in with this bright blue right there and I'm going to lay that across there and see if we can get some pretty color going. Oh yes much better much better. That blue is pretty. Okay friends I had to adjust my camera that angle just was not working. So in order for this color not to transfer onto the upper part of the lid or the eye I'm going to just brush across it with a fluffy brush. Finger lays it down really good but it can sometimes lay down so much that it's going to transfer on your eye during the day. All right friends if you ever get to this point and you find that the colors just aren't working for you they're not working together whatever try going in with a peach. Try going in with a very light orange a very soft wash of it across your transition color can completely brighten up your makeup. So that's a tip for you and I'm just going to go up in here into the transition color and try to brighten this all just a little bit. Just got a little muddy and I think that that just helped out so much. Can you see the difference there? I'm not sure if you can but it's just very slight and it's really helping out to brighten up that look. I really was going to do a neutral eye today for you guys but it ended up being a bright eye. So next time I'll make sure that I do a neutral complete eye for you guys. I ordered a bunch of stuff off the Elf Welp website and this is the Ryder Die Lip Balm. This is Mighty Mint. I don't like this delivery system you guys it's just a tube and you have to use it on your fingers and stuff. I'm not crazy about that. The other thing is it's super thick so it's hard to get it out but it's a good balm. It's a really really good balm. It's very hydrating and yummy and I really like it for that. I just wish it had a different bit of a delivery system than just a squeezy tube. Alright moving on to foundation. I did pick up their flawless skin foundation. I have had this in the past. I've liked it a lot. I do know that I need three pumps on this. Not all at once on my face but I do need three pumps and look how I don't know if you can see that or not but it is not my color. It is very very orange. So I am going to use my LA Girl Pro Foundation Mixing Medium or pigment and I'm going to put a whole entire pump in that and that blue pump right there is going to take that foundation and it's going to take the orange out of it. It's going to cool it down so there's no warmth in there hardly at all. This foundation is a little bit thicker so it does go on a little bit on the heavy side so I just am kind of careful about how much I put on. I know I put on three pumps on to my hand but part of that was to mix it. I'm going to spray my sponge and this is just a spray you can use Max Fix Plus. You can use any prep spray you want. I didn't pick up one from Elf but this one is just from Fourth Ray which is a sister company of ColourPop. So I'm just going to bounce this around bounce this around with my beauty blender. This is my preferred way of putting things on because I find that when you do it this way it really turns out to be so much better for mature skin. Alright that is one layer. I'm going to go in with a second layer because I do have a lot of things right here that it didn't cover that I'm not super happy about but I'm going to go in with a second layer and mostly sticking around these cheeks right here to try and get them covered. I do have a lot of blemishes right now. I don't know what's going on. Menopausal hormonal acne is just nothing to mess with. It drives me crazy. I'm telling you between the hot flashes the night sweats and the acne and the changes in my skin being thinner and actually I'm oily in places where I've never been oily before and then so dry in places that I just can't even figure everything out. It's just really driving me nuts. I think the night sweats are the worst though. I don't know about you guys. What do you think is the worst part of menopause? I said this the other day and it is true. It's like do we really need menopause on top of everything else we've already done here? We had periods. We had to go through puberty and then we had babies. We had to go through having birth and babies and c-sections and nursing kids and changing diapers and got our kids all grown up and like that's not enough for us. Here you go you can have menopause too and that's just like really? Do we really have to have menopause on top of everything else? Okay so if you guys can see I like this foundation a lot. It lays down very matte. If you like a luminous foundation try a luminous primer like I did at the beginning. It does help a little bit. You can see there's a little bit luminosity going through here. What's nice about it is that this foundation didn't completely cover so that it looks like a mask. It does look much more matte and I did have to correct it but you can still see that a few of my blemishes coming through. I have one right here and one right here so you can still see that coming through. So your face is still going to show through which I think is a good thing. But I think it's a good thing to be able to see skin through your foundation and using a sponge instead of a brush does help that out a lot. For concealer I'm using their hydrating chemo concealer and I used this in my last Get Ready With Me 2 and I had no idea that I was going to be using this again but Elf Get Ready With Me were using all Elf products. So I'm just putting that right there. A few dots around and then I'm going to just barely kind of spread this around. When I spread it around I'm going to let it sit. So that's just going to sit for a second. I'm going to dot my finger on all of these blemishes that are no good. So I have two of the Elf palettes. These are I think eight dollars at Walmart. These I customized. One was a blush palette. One was a contour palette and one was their I think this is called a heaven. I don't remember. I'll flash it up on the screen for you guys. And you could just pop these out. I show this almost every time but you can pop those out and you can customize it which is what I did. And almost when I'm customizing this you guys it almost acts like one of the hourglass ambient lighting powders. If I swore all this together that's why I did it. And then on the contour one this was the blush palette and I just popped that contour color out. Beautiful contour color. Really like that. It's very muddy. It's a great contour color. This is one of my workhorse brushes. This is the Elf small stepple brush. Had this forever. I am going to put that into the contour color and then I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to just do a little contour here while we're waiting for that concealer to set down. And I'm just going to just kind of little bit of contour. I'm not going to go ham with it because I'm really light right now because I'm not doing any self tanning. So I'm just going to put that into my hairline and I'm contouring that to bring my high high forehead down. I will link a video for you guys so you can see where I talk about contouring and how much it can help your forehead. If you have a five head forehead you can bring that down. So I love contouring. It's one of my best friends. I've got some cheekbones going. I brought my forehead down, my hairline down and now I'm going to build up a little bit of a gel line because I do have some sagging gels going on right there. And if I take this and I go straight down into my double chin then that hides that really well. The shadow makes the double chin recede. After that I am going to go in with my ELF bronzer. This doesn't even really look like a bronzer but for me in my fair skin it's very bronzy. I love the bronzer. It's so silky. It is one of their primer infused bronzers which I think is great and I'm just going to dust this kind of all over my face to bring a little bit of warmth to my face. Okay before I go any further with the powder I'm going to go ahead and work the rest of that concealer in so that it looks really seamless. I love letting it sit you guys. That is the trick if you have mature skin. You let that sit down. It's going to cover if you have really bad dark circles. You let it sit there. It's going to cover. It's not going to go into your fine lines. It's going to be just beautiful. Alright so that palette that I showed you I customized it. These two came out of the contour palette I think. I'll make sure that I list that down below where these came from. These two powders for sure are out of this palette and this is the total face palette by the way. And so these two are from that. These are from the contour but when I swirl all these together it's just these powders are so much like the ambient setting powders. They're light. They're very creamy. They're very soft and they just make the best under eye setting powder to just go like that. You get all these colors. You get brightening colors. You get the soft light in there. You get the banana powder that's going to brighten. I think it's so pretty. So I'm going to tap that off really good because I swirled for a long time because I was talking to you guys. Tap that off really good and then I'm going to go in and all I'm going to do is I'm going to just go across here and I'm just going to set that down ever so slightly because if I put too much in there it's going to get cakey but if I don't put any in there then it's going to get really creased. What do you think you guys? Isn't that pretty? It just sets it down. Makes it soft. It's really nice. All right you guys. So these are so good for cream blushes. These are the multi-sticks and I need to grab my glasses. I know one is in sparkling rose I think and then the other one let's see sparkling rose and then the other one is dazzling peony. I'll actually just swatch it for you really quick so you can see. There it is. So pigmented. Holy moly. But this is dazzling peony. So I'm going to use peony as a base color today and I'm just going to take my stipple brush. This just seems to work so good with cream products and I'm going to just take my stipple brush and I'm going to go ahead and use this as a base and then I am going to put a little bit of blush on top of it. I know that might seem like overkill but it will in the summertime when it's warm it will make your blush just stick like crazy and you're going to have blush all day. You're not going to look in the mirror and go my blush is gone because I do that all the time and because that's a cream product in between I'm going to take my brush and I'm just going to kind of get the cream off of it so the other breath the other blush doesn't stick so much to it and I have two different blushes of the primer infused. I did again order these off of their website because they had the sparkling ones that I couldn't find in store anywhere. So this one let's see this one is always breezy and then this one is always rosy. Always rosy is the matte one and I use it all the time and love it but always breezy is the new one I picked up. So we're going to use that it's again a pinky peep but it has the shimmer in it. It has the brightness like a Milani baked blush kind of and you can see how bright that's going to be. I'm going to be really careful with it and the first thing I'm going to do is pounce it into my hand like this so I don't get so much color on my cheek and then I'm going to go all right on top of that other one that we did and you are going to have some bulletproof blush. I actually take my blush all the way up into my hairline and across my eyebrows. I feel like it just ties the look together. I'm going to go down the nose a little bit and across the chin and then as a highlight this is their highlighters which I think looks so luxe. They even have the imprint on there. I just think it's so pretty. I'm taking a fan brush. So this one is white gold. Love it. It puts across a beautiful sheen across your cheeks without any chunks without any texture. I just really like it. So we're going to go across this cheek right here. Whoo! So pretty. Oh my goodness how beautiful that is. I'm going to go down the nose. I don't do the tip of the nose because I don't like a shiny tip on my nose but that's just me and then across my chin a little bit. I do my collarbone right there too with my highlights. I just like that that look and then I'm going to go and just put a tiny bit right there on the keyboard. Browser next. I am in love with the wow brow from them. This is in taupe. I showed this to you in my last Get Ready With Me. This is so nice because that little tiny wand is just perfect for the size of my own eyebrows works just really, really good. I like it because it catches every single hair I have. It's more of a natural look and when my hands shake with my palsy or my disability it means that it's not going to look super precise but that's okay because I can't hold a pencil very well and have it look precise but this is wonderful and I just work with this in my own hair and what it does is it does have fibers in it and it just absolutely grabs every single hair and then while it's grabbing the hair it deposits its own fibers in there and then it makes the eyebrows look thicker because it's depositing other fibers in there and then for setting powder I recently discovered the elf halo setting powder. They have these in so many colors. I got three and I'm going to show them all to you so this one is called light. Okay so that one is light. Let me just show you all of these so you can see all of them and this one is called medium. Let me just put some of that out so that is medium kind of just a little bit darker and then this next one is light pink. I really like the light pink. It just seems to work really good on my skin. The medium does a really good job of setting everything. The light does a really good job of brightening everything. The pink brightens as well so I think that I'm going to do the pink and the light together on my brush and this is another brush from elf that is my workhorse brush and that is just a huge fluffy brush. I think this is only like $12. I love that brush so this is just going to set down all of my makeup and just keep that sweat from coming through during today because like I said it's supposed to be over 100 degrees here which is crazy. After I do both of those I'm going to go in with that same brush and I'm going to swirl all over in this sticking to these two right here because they have a little bit of luminosity in them but these I'm just going to kind of swirl together and it kind of gives a really beautiful finish to the skin. It's really really pretty and today I didn't have an eyeliner from them either as far as one that could go in the water line so I am just putting my wet and wild brow highlighter in there. I'm going to take a pencil brush this is just I think this is my reefer brush and this is just that dark blue color in there. Make sure that you tap this off you don't want any fallout and I'm going to just do a little bit of a liner out there. All I'm doing on this is just a light dusting across here so that there's a cast of it and this kind of will lighten up the look a little bit. You can push that into the outer V if you want to. Grab your highlighter that we used. We're going to do inner corner and just press that down into that corner and I kind of push it towards the eye to brighten that up. Sorry I was looking in the viewfinder there. They're distracting. Okay next step last step as far as the makeup goes is the setting spray. I hate the spritz on this setting spray. It drives me crazy so I have to kind of start it up a little bit and then I can go in. That setting spray will spit at me like crazy if I don't do that. I got this set of lip gloss and lip liners. I don't like this hardly at all you guys. They just aren't great colors for me. I think that's what it is more than anything. I've already got a swatch on there so they're just not the greatest colors for me but I am going to do it. I'm going to work with them today. What I'm going to do is I'm going to use, they have a light tan brown color and then they have a pink and I'm going to mix these two together. I'm going to start off with my tan brown color and then I'm going to go in with the pink in a second. Oh that's orange so I can't do that. I've got to get the other color out. My lips just don't look good in orange so I'm going to get the other one out that looks a little bit more brown. Let's see if this one works out to be better. That's just a darker orange. Okay so I'm just going to do this in the middle right here and then I'm going to take the pink. That is a super bright pink. Okay I have a balm that they came out with recently that I'm going to put on top of here. I'm not crazy about this color either. Really bright pink again. Nice balmy texture though so if I find a good color in that I think I'll be happy with it. I am going to blot this because it's too bright for me anyway and then I'm going to just go in with the gloss that is a sheer gloss with some sparkle reflect in it and that gloss kind of toned it down a little bit. So I'm going to curl these eyelashes and then they do have a new waterproof. It said it was new on their website. It's a new waterproof liquid liner. It stays on all day. I don't have any breaking apart or anything like that and like I said I don't have a mascara but you guys I got sent this new one from Wonder 2 Cosmetics. Catherine Zeta Jones is bringing out a cosmetics line and they're the ones that are doing it and this is her new mascara and I really like it you guys. It goes on really well. It builds really quickly. Love the wand. It's not too big. That's really important for me because I can get shaky and have a tendency to not be able to control my hand and if the wand's too big I'm going to touch it somewhere or something's going to happen which usually happens anyway but this is a really pretty mascara and it really builds well. So I'm going to go off camera. I'm going to finish this up on both eyes and then I'll be back to talk to you about this look and elf makeup a little bit. Okay that's the finished look everyone. I hope that you do enjoy that. Look at that Catherine Zeta Jones mascara. That is one coat. I love this stuff. I will put my final thoughts down in this description box so that you can see because I actually haven't worn this on the bottom lash line so I'll let you know whether or not it smudges but Wonder 2 Cosmetics is known for being budge-proof. She has released just the mascara and I think those two liners but so far so good. So that is it for today's video. I hope that you did enjoy all of these elf products. Full face of elf makeup minus a couple right but thank you guys for watching and as they're elf products that you guys have that you absolutely can't do without. I'm finding that their brushes are so good. I really love their brushes. I've been using those for years. Lots of things in here that I've been using for years. Primers that kind of thing but I hope that you did enjoy it. Don't forget to give it a thumbs up on your way out of here. Please stay healthy, stay happy, stay sanitized. All those things. I love you guys very much and I'll see you all in my next video. Bye guys.
