hello friends welcome back to my
channel if you are new welcome my name
is Christine today we are doing a try to
get ready with me it's been a while
since I've done one of these videos and
they're actually one of my favorites
because it just feels like we're sitting
down hanging out and try to get ready
with me is are like my favorite to watch
too so I hope you guys will enjoy this
in front of me I have a ton of new
makeup that I haven't tried yet a lot of
new makeup that I have been testing that
I really enjoy but I haven't shown on
YouTube yet so let's sit down chat hang
out before we go and get started first
make sure you hit the subscribe button
if you haven't already and hit that
notification bell I post a new video
every Tuesday and Thursday and without
further ado let's go ahead and get
started
first of all I don't know what's going
on with this baby right here also I woke
up today with the worst puffy eyes ever
and it's been a while since I did a
little bit of skincare in front of the
camera I have these milk makeup cooling
water eye patches and I haven't tried
these yet I got them in a PR package the
other day okay so these feel super
cooling and I'm actually gonna leave
this on and do my eye makeup that way we
are multitasking I'm gonna use the
Maybelline tattoo studio brow pomade
this is in the color 382 black brown I
actually really enjoy this brow pomade
this little brow brush that comes with
it is like low-key fire as well so I'm
going to go ahead and use this and do my
brows really quick
now that the eyebrows are finished we're
gonna move on to the eye makeup I love
do my eye makeup first
especially if I'm gonna be experimenting
with a fun look and I figured I haven't
done a smokey eye in a while so I wanted
to do something like this
so starting off with the eyes I don't
normally prime my eyeballs especially
because I just did my skin care so I
don't really feel a need to use an
eyeshadow primer to create this look I'm
actually gonna be going in with the
Urban Decay Naked honey palette this
palette is so stinkin pretty and it has
all the colors that I want to use today
I'm gonna start off with a big fluffy
blending brush this is a brush from
Aliexpress I actually love these eye
shadow brushes I remember I'll go ahead
and link them down below but morphe also
makes really great blending brushes if
we go back to the look her eyes are
super super diffuse and it looks like
there is a lot of different colors that
are blended out in her crease so I'm
actually gonna go in with a brownie
orange color and this will just make it
the transition be super super seamless
looking so this one is in the shade
keeper I normally like to pick up a
whole lot my favorite technique is to go
ahead and pack the lid with this color
really just do a lot of packing and just
make sure that we have all the color
laid down and then I'll go in with
circular motions and blend this out
brand I have been binge-watching the
show you we just finished season two I'm
so shocked by how it ended season 1 was
so much better than season 2 but while
we are watching it we were like this is
such a terrible show why are we watching
this we had one of our guy friends Josh
if you guys are part of my Instagram fan
we had a friend from Seattle that came
in to visit and he stayed with us for
about like a week in half so it was
super nice to have a show that we
watched together we also had so much
sushi last week we went four different
times which is insane I just used that
one shade and buffed out it is a really
clean blend so I'm gonna go ahead and do
the same to the other eye also I don't
remember if you guys remember me talking
about it but we were supposed to go to
New York back in December but ended up
not happening just because they ended up
getting so busy but I did book a trip in
March and I'm going with some of my
girlfriends also I do want to kind of do
been up a little bit so I'm gonna grab
this color drip here to kind of deepen
it up a little bit and I had this tiny
little luck see two three one small
tapered blending brush that I'm going to
use but we don't really like have an
agenda of what we want to do we don't
even know where we want to stay yeah I
think we're talking about staying in
Midtown but I've only been in New York
with my family and I feel like traveling
with your family is a totally different
experience and traveling with your
friends I feel like now is the time to
travel when you don't have a house and a
mortgage and a baby and a dog and all
that stuff to worry about there's no
better time to travel if you guys
remember the same time last year I was
in Tokyo and having so much fun I
literally talked about that trip every
single day like to this day I still talk
about it way too much bran and I
eventually want to go visit and we
briefly talked about possibly moving
there we kind of like entertained the
idea but I seriously would move there
because I had so much fun when in New
York I'm planning to meet with a couple
of brands that I know that our their
headquarters are out there so that would
be a really fun trip you guys have any
like recommendations or really pretty
photo spots I need to go to I would love
to know so you can go ahead and leave
those down in the comments my goal this
year is just to travel a lot also I
announced on my Instagram some of you
guys may know but I am actually part of
the Sephora squad and it is their
first-ever ambassador a program that
launched last year and they only picked
24 people to be a part of the program
which is insane my contract with them
actually ended in December and they
reached out to renew the contract so I'm
gonna be working with them a lot more
again this year so I think it's just
really really cool i also am in talks
with signing with other companies to be
part of their ambassador program like
this whole year has been so much fun and
i can't believe it's been a whole year
since i've lived here in LA now i still
miss the arrow so much I feel like
Seattle will always just have a warm
spot in my heart because I love living
there and I think that people they're
just so good and I still haven't yet
found a friend group that compares to my
little circle back in Seattle that looks
really really pretty and buffed out but
if you can see in the photo it looks
like her dark cliched is all over her
lid so I do want to bring in that shadow
a little bit further so I'm gonna pick
up that same color
kind of
Paquette right here this is also a great
tip you guys struggle with lending out
your eye shadows is to just pack and
then blend if you guys want to see like
a whole video on like my favorite
techniques brushes and tools and my
favorite like eyeshadows feel like
that's not a topic that's talked about
enough but really there is so much more
that goes into it than just having a
technique you also have to have the
right products right eye shadows the
right colors that go together so it
doesn't look muddy so yeah if you guys
want to see a full video on that just
let me know that is the difference
between the two I this eye looks so much
more smokier than this one does so I'm
going to do the same to the other eye
and then I'm gonna go in with that same
ilex brush brush and use that to kind of
buff out the edges so it's a little bit
more looking and then using the same
brush I like that it's really small but
still fluffy so I can get a good blend
I'm gonna pick up this color sting and
this will just further deepen out the
crease color and see how between the two
eyes this one just looks a little bit
more deeper and smokier that's what we
want I used to be in the habit of using
my fingers for the shimmer shade but I
recently started using a shader brush to
help pack the color onto my lid feel
like it gives me a little bit more of a
precise color so I'm going to go ahead
and use the Sigma e25 blending brush and
pick up a lot of this color HBIC and I'm
just gonna pack that onto the center and
kind of do like a soft cut crease
looking thing feel like not a lot of
people talk about this eyeshadow palette
but colors in here so pretty the
pigments are really really good I feel
like Urban Decay just kills it with the
eyeshadows in this area right here we
want to make it a little bit more
seamless looking so I'm gonna pick up
their first brush that we use from
Aliexpress and kind of just buff out the
edge okay so that is what the eyes look
like I'm super happy with that I'm gonna
go ahead and curl my lashes hop on a
little bit of mascara I've been using
this Too Faced better than sex mascara
and I love this stuff the wand is super
super fat but I feel like it does a
really great job of building up my
lashes I just really like a really thick
and full looking lash line so I've been
loving this mascara as always I would go
in with my heroine make curl and volume
waterproof mascara
to kind of prep my lashes and keep them
curled all day and then I will be going
in with my better than sex so this is
what my lashes look like after they just
looked so thick and I didn't put too
much time into my lashes today because I
am going in with falsies in the photo
she has a tiny bit of eyeliner but not a
lot but I think I want to do a baby Winx
I haven't done one in a really long time
I recently have become obsessed with
this TARDIS liquid eyeliner it's
actually dual ended so there's liquid
liner on one end and then a pencil
eyeliner on both but this is super
waterproof super easy to draw a really
good line so I'm gonna go ahead and wing
out my eyeliner really quick I do have a
tutorial on how to do a winged liner
that'll go ahead and link up in the
corner so I'm gonna go ahead and speed
through this okay so that is what the
eyes look like after I'm gonna go ahead
and pop on these lashes I've only used
these one time but they look really
really cool edges these are the Sephora
collection X loli lashes and these are
in the style room okay so this is what
the lashes look like on so gorgeous I
also did do a how to apply lashes
tutorial on my IG TV so I'll go ahead
and link that video down in the
description box
since these lashes are super dramatic
when I look up you can kind of see like
my actual waterline so to make the
lashes look a little bit more natural
one trick I like to do is to align my
upper lash line so I'm actually gonna
take the other end of this Tarte
eyeliner and kind of just block this out
and as you can see it doesn't make a
huge difference but this add lashes just
look a little bit more natural we've had
this eye mask on for a good amount of
time so I'm gonna go ahead and take it
off my undereyes feel super hydrated I
love it I want to use this tatcha cell
canvas I've actually had this for a
while and never used it can you believe
that okay that was a lot
fucked up this whole thing great job
Christine I had my makeup done at
Sephora the other day and the gal said
that this works best if you press it
into the skin rather than rubbing well
feels super nice
I know people compare it to the elf
putty primer but honestly this feels a
lot better than the puddi primer alpha
one just feels a little bit more
silicone II this one feels a lot more
like skin care if that makes sense
for foundation I'm going to be using
this Too Faced Born This Way
undetectable medium to full coverage
foundation this foundation is new to me
this would be my first time ever using
it and I'm so excited because I've heard
so many amazing things about this if you
guys recently saw my latest comparison
video I compared the Giorgio Armani
luminous silk to my Pat McGrath skin
finish foundation these are two of my
newest holy grails and if you haven't
checked out the video I'll go ahead and
link it up in the corner but anyways I'm
gonna go in with this Born This Way
Foundation this is in the shade sand a
little bit sticky so it might be a
little bit dark for me but I might just
go in afterwards and correct it with
concealer to face actually sent it over
this little foundation brush as well so
I thought I would use it and see how it
works
bring it down so it kind of matches my
neck a little bit more actually I'm
pretty pleasantly surprised by the
coverage and you really do not need a
whole lot like the amount that I use on
once you get ended up covering this
cheek as well I actually like the brush
and this color a lot I feel like it's a
good all of you tone so this is using
the brush alone I'm really happy with
the coverage and the finish that's
really really pretty as always I like
going in with a sponge to kind of just
blend everything in so I'm using this
sponge from cletus's
Aliexpress up-close my skin looks super
super good it's kind of a satin skin
finish so I think you have dry skin I
think it'll work with any skin type I
have this Becca under eye brightening
corrector that I just received I was at
one of their new launch events and this
was in the little goodie bag I have
heard so much about this and you guys
know I'm loyal to my it cosmetics lab
right under-eye but last time I tried it
I actually really really liked it it is
super brightening and I think this is in
the color light to medium I'm actually
gonna leave it like that and put a
concealer over top I was at this launch
party but this is the new light shifter
brightening concealer from Becca it's
supposed to be a concealer that kind of
reflects light instead of relying on my
cover to brighten up your eyes so it's
kind of like a foam tip applicator
okay so I don't know if you're supposed
to use the two of those together but my
undereyes looks super highlighted and
healthy it looks like there's a slight
sheen to that under eye brightener but
not a whole lot it does look really
really pretty since we want a more full
coverage look today I'm actually gonna
go in with this also new concealer from
hourglass concealers like one of my
favorite things to play with but this is
their new vanish concealer and this is
in the color apricot so I'm just gonna
go ahead and use this and highlight and
conceal the rest of my face and since
this foundation is a little bit dark I'm
just gonna take a little bit of this
right here as well okay so blend it out
ended up going in with my it cosmetics
heavenly luxe duo brush and using the
side to kind of buff out the rest of the
concealer but now that everything is
blended out it looks really nice my
under eyes look super super brighten I
don't know if you're supposed to use a
both of those together because I feel
like they're a little bit too bright um
but I think once we have all the other
makeup on it'll look a lot more natural
where I set my face I do want to go in
with a couple of cream blushes these
ones from Illya are some of my favorites
these are the Ilia color haze multi
matte pigment so I have three different
colors here this one is waking up
temptation and Studdard
since my foundation is already kind of
warm I think I want to go more of a like
Bobbie color so I'm going to use this
color waking up this is what the little
applicator looks like this is also a
clean brand as for as well I love Ilia
see how that blush just makes everything
look so much more natural okay next we
want to go ahead and set the face I have
this powder from Too Faced this is their
translucent powder and I have been
loving this I've only tried out a couple
of times but it photographs really
nicely and sets my makeup it kind of has
a yellow tint which I actually really
like it just makes the skin look so
airbrush and pretty and also helps my
creams to kind of stay on longer as well
I really really
like this powder I also like to set any
of the blemishes I have as well so that
way when I pry bronzers and stuff on top
it really does stay now I want to set
the rest of my makeup so I'm gonna go
ahead and use this Too Faced Born This
Way multi-use complexion powder this is
in the shade tan really really enjoy
this powder and I'm using a it cosmetics
heavenly luxe wall ball powder I meant
to go over to Brandon's parents house
and we're gonna watch the Seahawks game
he actually weird over there because
kick-off happened I only go to football
games because I care for the food I
don't care about the foot boss so I told
him that as soon as I'm done I'm gonna
meet him over there his parents are
gonna be like why do you so much makeup
on not everyone understands lifestyle I
used to leave the foundation on my lips
but foundation and concealer and all
that stuff really is not meant to be
ingested now that we had the whole face
set I'm actually gonna go in with
bronzer I don't think I've used this on
camera that often but this is the
Physicians Formula butter bronzer in the
shade deep I love this bronzer this is
made it into my 2019 favorites video
it's just such the holy grail I'm gonna
be using the spicy choco number six
contour brush I love this brush it's so
soft so I'm just gonna pick up a little
bit of that I love this bronzer because
it is really the perfect color it's
really good if you want to bronze and
contour at the same time last night it
was so nice it was the first time in a
while that I had absolutely no plans
especially when you have people over
that are visiting out of town and stuff
there's kind of a pressure to be a
little bit more present with them and
spend time with them so I hadn't been
working as much so I feel like the last
week after Josh left I was doing a lot
of catch up and last night was the first
time in a while that I just had no plans
I didn't want to work or do anything and
I soaked my long nails in nail polish
remover and remove them I also cleaned
like 30 of my makeup sponges and it just
felt so nice to have a night to do
nothing and I feel like it's so
important to just have a night where you
do self-care I'm gonna take this come
through contour brush from brink on motd
it's kind of like an angled buffing
brush and this is really good for a nose
contour I always always always always
my nose it makes such a big difference
also last night I also purge my closet
and went through all of my things and
anything that I hadn't worn in the last
year I just put it aside and so I'm
gonna list a ton of stuff on my Poshmark
and my Poshmark is just Kristine Lea
four is the same as my Instagram so I'll
be listing a lot of new clothes on there
a lot of things are brand new and I just
didn't wear okay so now I want to go
ahead and finish out the lower lash line
in the photo it looks like the girl had
a much more smoke look so I'm actually
gonna line my waterline and I'm gonna
use my Marc Jacobs gel eyeliner in the
color brownie do you want to look a
little bit more smoother so I'm going to
take this brush that we originally
picked up the shimmer shade on and I'm
actually gonna pack that shimmer shade
in the first third of my eye
okay then taking that small brush that
we use to smoke out our lower lash line
to pick up this dark brown one trick
that I like to do is to grab the little
brush pinch it so it kind of becomes
like a little fan situation and then
using that to smoke up my outer third
that is the exact effect that I wanted I
feel like I've been done a smoky eye
look like this in so long and I love the
way that that turned out oh yeah I do
want to intensify the little blush a
little bit so I have this buxom blush in
the color wanderlust using the Sephora
collection angled blush brush
and then dragging across my nose I'm
going to use this Pat McGrath labs lip
liner in the color supernatural and then
using this Patrick taw precision lip
liner in the shade she's proud this lip
liner is so stunning and I haven't
actually used it that much actually is a
little quicker situation any time I kind
of want to add a little bit more sure to
my lip but not change the look I'm
actually gonna use a little lip serum
this one from beauty guard is such a
goodie it's a swell lip serum and it
kind of has little plumping properties I
use the heck out of this okay
nearing the end we are now gonna set the
face I'm gonna use this NYX matte finish
setting spray I like this I don't think
you need it in your collection I'm like
almost out of it so I don't want to use
it up but a really good thing spray that
I really love is this rose water and
glycerin setting spray when I first
started my channel I use this setting
spray all the time and that's a really
good affordable option but I'm just
gonna use this one today before that
fully dries I'm gonna use my laura
geller gilded honey highlight and use
that to highlight the high points of my
face i'm using this sigma high cheekbone
highlighter brush i also recently
started highlighting part of my brow
bone as well kind of in one motion and
it just makes my skin look super
naturally glowy and then to set the
brows I'm going to use this Maybelline
tattoo studio brow gel every time I use
this it gives my brows a really nice
effect but you have to be super careful
otherwise you can really make your brows
on the way to dark this is the finished
look I love the way that it came out and
I feel like I never do my eyes this way
