I am a straight 32 year old male that wears makeup. I wear it specifically because I have bad dark circles that won’t go away and it brings me a lot of self confidence to cover it up. However women should not have to wear makeup if they don’t want to. I tell my wife I think she is beautiful with or without makeup but like me it’s a self confidence thing. So wear makeup if you want or don’t if you don’t. No one should judge you either way.

I know Ariel's go-to is to wear black (which I feel cause why not? black goes w everything) so it's so nice to see her in color! such a cute simple outfit

Ariel something that helped me not touch my pimples are those tiny stickers that are sold at target that they say they get rid of your pimples but I mostly just use them to not scratch them. And it has helped soooo much! the brand is called “the mighty patch”
you can also just straight up find blister bandages and cut them down to size. they have to be "hydrocolloid bandages" and they have to be adhesive all over, not just band-aid style where the bandage part is unsticky. then just use clean scissors and customize any size you need. soooo much cheaper this way.

Something I wish I had growing up was seeing fellow Asian ladies showing how to put on makeup on our features. I followed all the directions on makeup packaging and the makeup counter ladies, and it looked awful on me because those weren't meant for my features. One example is cat eye eyeliner, I'm glad Becky mentioned there are alternatives. I learned to follow my lash line and disregard every tutorial that didn't come from someone with eyes like mine. Kids are lucky these days that there are Asian makeup tutorials on TH-cam that are easily accessible.

A great tip for practicing makeup is to do it later in the day. If you do it right before bed, if its good you can take a picture and if its bad then you're about to do your skincare anyway. If you want to test how long it will last then you can do it as soon as you get home from school or work and if it looks bad no one will see you but you'll still know how long it will last. If it looks great you can go out (if there's no pandemic). I did that on High School and college and it really helps especially when you don't feel confident with it.

I know a lot of us use TH-cam for escapism, and so watching MUA's use luxury brands can be enjoyable, but I've always found it disappointing when every makeup routine I watch is out of my price range.

I'm a uterine cancer survivor and now I'm having to be super careful with what I use for my skin due the effects from surgery. One of the brand names for makeup/skincare I found is Cocokind. I'm a big fan of their tinted sticks. You can use them as a blush, highlighter, tinted lip balm and even eyeshadow. They are 100%natural.
I love that you guys touched on beauty brands in the drugstore having a larger shade range and how they are owned by the same big company as the higher end brands, but I also wanted to let you know they do this on purpose to keep their customer base what they want/like. It’s all selective, if it wasn’t they would put more dark shades in these higher end brands.
Love the discussion about wearing makeup at work. My first “big girl” job out of college, I was called in to HR and was told I needed to look more put together and more professional and start wearing makeup. Which is when I started buying makeup and watching TH-cam videos to learn. It’s what got me in to makeup so it’s a bittersweet story.
I hope that doesn’t happen to me as I don’t plan to wear makeup to work :/ I’m a little older now but in my freshman year of college, my professor told the girls in the class to go buy some makeup in preparation for the job fair. It made me so mad. Maybe it’s a stupid thing to be upset about, but I hate that women need to use BEAUTY products and cover up their faces to look professional.
@@minanowroozi9741 I ended up falling in love with makeup but it’s sucks that is how it started. I wish that there wasn’t this (ridiculous) standard that people have to wear makeup to be considered professional.
@@minanowroozi9741 It depends where you work, but through my professional life (in office work, teaching and tailoring men's suit) I haven't ever /had/ to wear makeup. The main thing was to just look clean and like you take care of yourself for men, women and gender nonconforming folks (so skin care is the primary thing to calm acne or extra oil or dryness). For meeting clients and video calls when I was in an office, it was moisturizer, tinted lip balm and just a smidge of mascara so my features read better (and helping my boss with some colour corrector so he didn't look so sleep deprived 😂 )
One of my tips especially for people that don’t wear makeup a lot and you’re a bit sensitive - if you have a big event (wedding etc) is to wear makeup the week of the event so your skin gets use to having stuff on it. I did that for my friends wedding a few years back and my skin didn’t breakout the days afterwards or feel itchy during the wedding
this is such good advice omgg❣️ I have this issue with make up so I’ll definitely be wearing make up today to prep for birthday makeup on Friday (actual birthday) and Sunday (seeing vaccinated family) 🥰🥳
I listen to you guys every night to fall asleep because my anxiety keeps my thoughts racing. I listen on spotify but I came on TH-cam just to tell you. you guys are so comforting and I've tried to listen to other podcasts to go to sleep but nothing else works like yours guys does. anyway, goodnight!
As a mom I really try to be careful about the messages I send about makeup. The phrase I use is “fancy” we don’t need makeup we just wear it when we want to feel fancy.
An option that is eco friendly and great for sensitive skin for removing makeup: magic makeup eraser towels. I just add water and it takes off so much makeup with just a plush little towel. I found mine at Bed, Bath, & beyond but you can find dupes almost anywhere that sells makeup. At the end of the week I throw them in with my regular laundry and the makeup always comes out and has never affected the rest of my laundry. I got all my friends to use them and we literally won’t shut up about. Not a spokesperson- just an enthusiast!
I work at Ulta, honest to god helping people find makeup that works for them is the BEST part of my job. The point system is also really good, and the credit card deal is chefs kiss.
I am an engineer and I don't ware makeup at all and wow the judgment I got when I started lol and the few times I wore makeup, just lipstick and mascara, I got comment about it being too much. So I just gave up on caring how anyone else feels. I wear no make up and lipstick if I am feeling a little bored that morning haha
I'm a statistician and have had similar experiences. If you're a woman in a male-dominated field, you're often damned if you do and damned if you don't. If you don't wear make up, you're trying to deny your femininity or trying to be a man; if you do wear make up, you're using your sexuality to get ahead. I don't wear make up for many other reasons (plus I switched careers--went from a statistician to someone who works with aggressive animals! And I like working with aggressive animals a lot better than working with misogynists).
I teach math at a large state university and I’m 28. I stand out like the sorest of thumbs because I like to dress in fun colors and wear a bold lip. The culture in STEM where you have to be the absent minded, old, white man in order to be taken seriously is the bane of my existence. We can be serious about our profession and wear makeup, but it’s cool if it’s not your jam too! I just like to be a rabble rouser and fight the system :D
@@sarahandrews1516 haha I love all of that. I may not wear make up but I have half blue half purple hair so I 100 percent don't fit in with my co-workers haha
i love how patient and kind becky is. now a days with youtube and google, it’s so easy to find the answers to your questions and no one should be “educating” or spoon feeding you, look things up. on. your. own. so i have a lot of respect for becky and appreciate for becky
I think the best part of this podcast, was the regular reassurance that if you don't want to use a particular type of makeup, you don't have to. I've never been into makeup, despite years of people trying to convince me to wear it. At this point, and only for very formal, professional events, at the most I'll wear a little lipstick and/or eyeshadow. But there were nearly two decades, in which I had to really stand my ground about not using certain products. I really appreciate that even though this was a podcast about makeup, the emphasis was to use what you actually want to use, and not what the "fashion collective" says you are supposed to use.
The makeup market is overly saturated. I don’t think Becky would want to make more waste. But I see her maybe making a small collaboration with a brand she is passionate
Hi, French speaking person here! I can tell it's a Japanese brand because the translation is literally "key OF skin" which mean nothing in French lol (like there's a key made of skin?? wtf) Bad translators think they're fancy and it's hilarious
I really appreciate that the advice was conscious of the lack of inclusivity in the makeup industry, especially “clean” beauty. I’ve been gravitating more towards the “clean” products because I have eczema and very sensitive skin, and as a dark skin Latina it was impossible to find items that worked for my skin tone. Thankfully they’re starting to catch up (at the slowest pace lol). And don’t get me started on the lack of representation in the “clean beauty” community (influencers/reviewers). Love you ladies 💕
I know this is an old video but I'm bingeing. I really want to say how much I appreciate Becky always being sure to acknowledge complex problems surrounding topics. The fact that she broached classic and accessibility, the fact that she obviously goes out of her way to stay informed even on issues that don't directly affect her, it's really wonderful. It always reassures me what a safe and welcoming space they are working to create in the office. Thanks Becky, thanks Try gang.
WOAH IM SO EARLY. I love you guys!!!!!!!! I had to switch to a homeschool because of COVID and it makes the days very monotone and lonely, Tuesday’s have become my favorite day ‘cause I get to sit with you guys! It feels like getting to hang out with friends. Thanks so much for all you do!!❤️❤️❤️
Speaking of exciting places to put highlighter reminded me that when there was going out I'd put highlighter all over my ears! It made me feel like I looked like the type of lady that 🌠glowed🌠 from within yknow
As a women who only knows makeup from the internet and HATED how it looks on me. I've learnt so much about how makeup is suppose to work, looks and just thank you ☺️❤
As a non-fluent in english, I will be super grateful if someone lists all the makeup products recommended (I am most interested in that low waste product that does lips-cheeks-eyes) Thank you!!
there is also a brand called LiveTinted created by a youtuber named Deepica and she has created huesticks that can be used for color correcting, cheeks, lips, and eyes and one colour for contouring :) its vegan, cruelty free, clean, has skincare ingredients and its made in a copper packaging so its recyclable too i believe
So glad you guys brought up the link between the lack of make up and being considered not so professional. I barely ever wear make up and often consider whether I should start wearing it to work to not feel so left out I guess
I kind of feel like we are all becoming friends just through the comment section! Love this episode and I hope Becky drops more product recs soon! I want to start double cleansing I was just scared of picking products...
dont be scared of picking products! trust yourself :) all you have to do is choose an oil cleanser or cleansing balm because the second part of double cleansing is usually your normal face wash! i believe in you
Wow I'm never this early! I love this podcast!!! I love the topics they talk about. I wish I was better at make up, but I don't wear it enough and when I do it, it makes me look like a clown. I love you ladies.
A fantastic, non-eye irritating makeup remover is Pond’s cold cream. It’s a great first cleanser- you put a little on, gently rub it around- then use a reusable cotton pad and wipe it off, or a makeup towel, and it takes off SO MUCH stubborn makeup. I do stage makeup, full-face paints, and I need a gentle but also diesel cleanser... Ponds is my absolute go to. Then the second cleanser is usually an alcohol-free cleanser (Mario Badescu seaweed cleanser is my current fave), to get that creamy/greasy feeling away from the creamy cleanser.
From someone who's not from US it's good to see them talking about different brands. Coz all we associate with US are morphe, jeffree star, fenty, mac, kylie, kkw etc
Omg thank you Rachel for bringing up that women shouldn't have to feel the need to wear makeup to be professional at work! 49:25 I had a boss when I was in my later teens (17-19) and worked in clothing retail, our district manager told me I needed to dress more feminine and wear more makeup in order to make sales and do my job properly. I was told if I didn't comply the consequences we're write ups and termination. Thankfully i stood my ground and went to hr but it was coming from an almost middle aged man who wore khaki cargo shorts and flip flops to work 🙄 the hypocrisy was real but it did end up becoming a running joke amongst myself and some coworkers😂
on the subject about makeup at work, i think it is important to note that you still need to shower brush your teeth and brush or style your hair. However, makeup shouldn't be required ever, unless your some sort of TV personality or model. If men don't have to wear makeup, women don't have to wear it either. simple as that. if your boss has an issue with your acne, that's on them not you.
loved this episode! i will mention though that when double cleansing, make sure you use whatever oil or oil based cleanser on your dry face before wetting it! The idea is that oil and water don't mix so oil on your dry face (with makeup or sunscreen or whatever has collected throughout the day) will break down those particles more efficiently before using your face wash. Usually cleansers that are formulated with oil will turn into a milky texture once you splash water on your face (it'll activate the cleanser) and after this is when you'd use your typical cleanser (gel, cream, water, whatever cleanser works) to clean off any excess makeup, dirt, grime etc. However, if you're using coconut oil or something that isn't necessarily formulated to wash off with water, I would then use my cleanser to help take the oil off my face! The idea is that you'd need something with a soapy texture to help break the oil! If you tried to wash off the oil with just water, you'll find yourself dealing with a weird thick oil texture on your face haha Cleansing balms are also another option prior to cleanser! There are some balms that are formulated with plastics or something and isn't that great for the environment though :( My fav oil cleanser that's decently priced (im talking canadian $$$) is the iunik calendula cleansing oil (korean skincare brand) and then i use the cerave hydrating cleanser as my second cleanse :)
Thank you Rachel for bringing up makeup and professionalism. As a woman in her thirties with no interest in spending time/money on makeup, I'm constantly frustrated with these kinds of societal expectations of women...
May I suggest that Miles gets a small segment of the pod? It would be interesting to hear Miles ask the ladies for advice about whatever random topic he comes up with
I’m waaaay too low maintenance with make-up. Eyebrow pen and gel. Benetint on my lips and when I feel like it a cream blush. And sometimes a bit of cover with some sort of concealer. But mostly just eyebrows and benetint and out the door😂 no mascara for me, too much of a hassle 🙊 Looooove a good skincare routine thooo
What has helped me be even more lazy is use Just for Men to temporarily dye my eyebrows for a couple of weeks 😂 Just leave it on for 5-10 minutes and wipe it off! Life changing
Bronzer is typically warm toned, contour is usually cooler toned. I use a gel cleanser too Maggie. I do add a cleansing balm if I have a full beat or a smoky eye. Ariel, the cleaning balm is also gentle enough for my super sensitive eyes. I bought a winged liner stamp that really has helped me. It gets me started and I can get the angle right before completing the rest of the line.
This episode really highlights just how different the ladies are from their audience. Were just in totally different economic brackets. Stuff like "It's only $17" and "there isn't anything good less than $20" just blows me away.
I’m not in their tax bracket and that sounds about right. You choose what you prefer to spend on and I choose to spend on quality skincare. That doesn’t make you or me any less of a person.
My show-and-tell would be micellar water and reusable/machine washable cotton pads. I have sensitive skin and this combo gets off the makeup easily without having to rub and scrub your face.
I never wear foundation because I haven't been able to find a color that matches my skin tone. I might look pale white in the winter but if you compare me to someone who is actually white I am very olive green due to my cherokee heritage. My Mom and I both have such a hard time finding anything that matches us.
Look into Alexandra Anele. She is fair skined with olive undertones and she reviews foundations and concealers and tells you what works for that type of skin tone.
Thanks to the episode last week I have a daily skin routine now! Cleanse,moisturize and sunscreen (finally got myself some); spf 30 and then cleanse and moisturize at night! Instant improvement to my skin. Thanks Becky!
i get my makeup online directly from the source or packaged up from others, straight from the people. i did this after watching many reviews and try ons on youtube and reading all the reviews everywhere.
DANG! I just thought of a question to ask and im surprised no one brought it up with them !! Ladies in the comments: how do you apply foundation/makeup to your neck without it smudging onto your clothes?? Or do you even need to put makeup on your neck?? I use a Fenty liquid foundation that matches really well to my complexion and I just use that with some spot concealer (and milk hydro boost primer) but i never do my neck because it smudges onto my fashionable clothes and i can't risk that!! T__T I also dont use a powder makeup setter. I just use a setting spray from nyx that works well to give my face a dewyness but it doesn't stop smudging. How do women deal with makeup on their necks, especially when you're wearing nice clothes?? If my foundation matches my face well...do i even need to extend it to my neck? Ive asked one or two of my female friends and there answer was like 'oh....yaaaa....makeup does smudge...' and that was it!!! so i never bothered to ask them again. some background about me: I'm a 30 something gay asian male and i recently got into wearing light makeup and i dont have much experience with it other than watching jackie aina vids lol. I got into skincare and my skin improved a lot but i still wanted to feel extra pretty because i'm into K dramas now and the guys and girls look so perfect so i just wanted to up my game a touch.
I think if it matches your skin tone, you don’t need any on your neck! Just try to blend well just underneath your jawline and as long as your face and neck don’t look different colors, you’re good!
reusable makeup wipes are cheaper in the long run!! I bought these really awesome really soft ones and I use those with just water first, then put on my cleanser to melt the rest away and my skin is so much happier than when I would use the disposable makeup wipes!
Okay but can we get a Try Wives episode WITH RACHEL where they get EXTRA glam makeovers OR drag makeovers where Eugene calls his drag queen friends and gets to be the judge.
I don’t know if it was in this episode,BUT I am from Europe and we drink in my country a lot of sparkling water! Rresearch says that it is hydrating, even more than regular water and it s recommend after workouts! We also have a lot of different types of water and they have add ons like minerals, which change the taste of the water. I just wanted to throw it in there cause it s popular myth about sparkling water!
Oooh, good question! I used to get a nail polish subscription every month and they would throw in random makeup that I've tried once and didn't like. I tried it, so I can't give it to someone, but I just can't throw it away
I'm not Becky, but maybe I can help 😂 I usually buy another foundation so I can mix them together to create a better shade match. If you don't want to get a whole new foundation, there are liquid pigments available (blue, white etc) that you can mix into your original foundation to change the tone or the shade. I've never bought them so idk the brands that sell them, I just know that they're an option. Hope this helps!
For a huge shade range check Madara, a European certified natural cosmetics brand. Their "Skin equal" foundation is popular, though on the pricier side compared to commercial brands. Here the term "natural cosmetics" is it's own thing completely, you can't sell products as natural cosmetics if it doesn't have one of those specific widely recognized certificates with more or less the same standards like no animal cruelty (ever) and a required levels of organic and fair trade ingredients. The companies are usually local and have smaller selection of products in general, so all shades are not necessarily found everywhere, but the orientation in the past years has been becoming more inclusive as the companies grow and have more resources. Madara is certainly pioneering on that field around here.
I use to wear makeup but it got to be too much of a hassle since I have such oily skin. My face would always get way too shiney/feel heavy and still can even without makeup. I've been on the same medication for years to try and curb the over oil production my skin makes.😅 At least it keeps me looking younger longer on the plus side.
Can you do an episode like what Rachel suggested where you talk about what you're using and Becky shops with you? I find her suggestions so interesting and eloquent and since you all have such different concerns/lifestyles I'd love to hear what she'd recommend for you.
yess instagram is full of small businesses! it’s an amazing way to find woman owned, POC owned, lgbt+ owned and ethical makeup brands. loved to hear that Becky looks there too!
I'd love if you'd have a video with Becky doing everyone's make up and telling them what works for each of their faces because they have different faces and it would be amazing if you could bring even Miles' fianceé!

Plus then you're practicing for the perfect look on the day!
this is such good advice omgg❣️ I have this issue with make up so I’ll definitely be wearing make up today to prep for birthday makeup on Friday (actual birthday) and Sunday (seeing vaccinated family) 🥰🥳
I listen to you guys every night to fall asleep because my anxiety keeps my thoughts racing. I listen on spotify but I came on TH-cam just to tell you. you guys are so comforting and I've tried to listen to other podcasts to go to sleep but nothing else works like yours guys does. anyway, goodnight!
As a mom I really try to be careful about the messages I send about makeup. The phrase I use is “fancy” we don’t need makeup we just wear it when we want to feel fancy.
An option that is eco friendly and great for sensitive skin for removing makeup: magic makeup eraser towels. I just add water and it takes off so much makeup with just a plush little towel. I found mine at Bed, Bath, & beyond but you can find dupes almost anywhere that sells makeup. At the end of the week I throw them in with my regular laundry and the makeup always comes out and has never affected the rest of my laundry. I got all my friends to use them and we literally won’t shut up about. Not a spokesperson- just an enthusiast!
maggie looks so cute and cozy in her outfit
I work at Ulta, honest to god helping people find makeup that works for them is the BEST part of my job. The point system is also really good, and the credit card deal is chefs kiss.
I am an engineer and I don't ware makeup at all and wow the judgment I got when I started lol and the few times I wore makeup, just lipstick and mascara, I got comment about it being too much. So I just gave up on caring how anyone else feels. I wear no make up and lipstick if I am feeling a little bored that morning haha
I'm a statistician and have had similar experiences. If you're a woman in a male-dominated field, you're often damned if you do and damned if you don't. If you don't wear make up, you're trying to deny your femininity or trying to be a man; if you do wear make up, you're using your sexuality to get ahead. I don't wear make up for many other reasons (plus I switched careers--went from a statistician to someone who works with aggressive animals! And I like working with aggressive animals a lot better than working with misogynists).
I teach math at a large state university and I’m 28. I stand out like the sorest of thumbs because I like to dress in fun colors and wear a bold lip. The culture in STEM where you have to be the absent minded, old, white man in order to be taken seriously is the bane of my existence. We can be serious about our profession and wear makeup, but it’s cool if it’s not your jam too! I just like to be a rabble rouser and fight the system :D
@@sarahandrews1516 haha I love all of that. I may not wear make up but I have half blue half purple hair so I 100 percent don't fit in with my co-workers haha
i love how patient and kind becky is. now a days with youtube and google, it’s so easy to find the answers to your questions and no one should be “educating” or spoon feeding you, look things up. on. your. own. so i have a lot of respect for becky and appreciate for becky
I think the best part of this podcast, was the regular reassurance that if you don't want to use a particular type of makeup, you don't have to. I've never been into makeup, despite years of people trying to convince me to wear it. At this point, and only for very formal, professional events, at the most I'll wear a little lipstick and/or eyeshadow. But there were nearly two decades, in which I had to really stand my ground about not using certain products. I really appreciate that even though this was a podcast about makeup, the emphasis was to use what you actually want to use, and not what the "fashion collective" says you are supposed to use.
Becky should start a try guy makeup line now..after the tea and the cook book and hotsauce.. it has to be makeup line
The makeup market is overly saturated. I don’t think Becky would want to make more waste. But I see her maybe making a small collaboration with a brand she is passionate
@@solcarlosofficial that's gonna be nice
First we need Eugene's alcohol line
Clé de Peau is a French name ("key to skin", "the key to your skin's beauty") but is a Japanese brand :)
Yes it’s owned by Shiseido.
Hi, French speaking person here! I can tell it's a Japanese brand because the translation is literally "key OF skin" which mean nothing in French lol (like there's a key made of skin?? wtf) Bad translators think they're fancy and it's hilarious
Honestly this is my lifeline at work on Tuesdays😂
I really appreciate that the advice was conscious of the lack of inclusivity in the makeup industry, especially “clean” beauty. I’ve been gravitating more towards the “clean” products because I have eczema and very sensitive skin, and as a dark skin Latina it was impossible to find items that worked for my skin tone. Thankfully they’re starting to catch up (at the slowest pace lol). And don’t get me started on the lack of representation in the “clean beauty” community
(influencers/reviewers). Love you ladies 💕
How am I supposed to scroll the comments if there are none? 🤣🙃 Have a beautiful day beautiful souls ❤️
That’s what I’m sayin!!
Thanks, you too! 😊
I know this is an old video but I'm bingeing. I really want to say how much I appreciate Becky always being sure to acknowledge complex problems surrounding topics. The fact that she broached classic and accessibility, the fact that she obviously goes out of her way to stay informed even on issues that don't directly affect her, it's really wonderful. It always reassures me what a safe and welcoming space they are working to create in the office. Thanks Becky, thanks Try gang.
WOAH IM SO EARLY. I love you guys!!!!!!!! I had to switch to a homeschool because of COVID and it makes the days very monotone and lonely, Tuesday’s have become my favorite day ‘cause I get to sit with you guys! It feels like getting to hang out with friends. Thanks so much for all you do!!❤️❤️❤️
Speaking of exciting places to put highlighter reminded me that when there was going out I'd put highlighter all over my ears! It made me feel like I looked like the type of lady that 🌠glowed🌠 from within yknow
Me a person that doesn’t use make up: “nods in agreement about a subject I have no experience or interest in for an hour”
maggie’s eyebrows are gorgeous
As a women who only knows makeup from the internet and HATED how it looks on me. I've learnt so much about how makeup is suppose to work, looks and just thank you ☺️❤
ariel really is the cutest little mom- you ladies are all so amazing i love watching and listening to you, always great energy 🤍✨
i just love the try wives sharing secrets( especially beauty,shopping,bucket lists)
love you try guys and try wives
This podcast genuinely makes me feel a lot less lonely. Thank you a million times
As a non-fluent in english, I will be super grateful if someone lists all the makeup products recommended (I am most interested in that low waste product that does lips-cheeks-eyes) Thank you!!
Olio e Osso is the brand. The product is the lip and cheek tinted balm :)
becky just posted the links to all the products mentioned on her instagram account! her insta account is @becksmecks2
I will mention E.L.F also had lip and cheek tint sticks for $4, and MILK makeup has a similar product for $18, where as the Olio E Osso is around $28.
there is also a brand called LiveTinted created by a youtuber named Deepica and she has created huesticks that can be used for color correcting, cheeks, lips, and eyes and one colour for contouring :)
its vegan, cruelty free, clean, has skincare ingredients and its made in a copper packaging so its recyclable too i believe
Thank you so much! What a beautiful community
So glad you guys brought up the link between the lack of make up and being considered not so professional. I barely ever wear make up and often consider whether I should start wearing it to work to not feel so left out I guess
I kind of feel like we are all becoming friends just through the comment section! Love this episode and I hope Becky drops more product recs soon! I want to start double cleansing I was just scared of picking products...
dont be scared of picking products! trust yourself :) all you have to do is choose an oil cleanser or cleansing balm because the second part of double cleansing is usually your normal face wash! i believe in you
Wow I'm never this early! I love this podcast!!! I love the topics they talk about. I wish I was better at make up, but I don't wear it enough and when I do it, it makes me look like a clown. I love you ladies.
A fantastic, non-eye irritating makeup remover is Pond’s cold cream. It’s a great first cleanser- you put a little on, gently rub it around- then use a reusable cotton pad and wipe it off, or a makeup towel, and it takes off SO MUCH stubborn makeup. I do stage makeup, full-face paints, and I need a gentle but also diesel cleanser... Ponds is my absolute go to. Then the second cleanser is usually an alcohol-free cleanser (Mario Badescu seaweed cleanser is my current fave), to get that creamy/greasy feeling away from the creamy cleanser.
I love you guys. My husband works nights and I am alone often, but listening here helps me feel like I am in your company. Thank you all ❤️
we just gonna breeze over Ariel's initials being AMF and Maggie being like "mmm, love that," hahaha
Was looking forward to this all week! My baby is sleeping so I think I’ll kick back and relax and watch , we will see how long this lasts lol
Yay for the 10AM nap🙌
Wow I was waiting for this! Just started listening to it on spotify and got the notification on youtube
I love tuesday mornings because of this pod ♡ always looking forward to it !
From someone who's not from US it's good to see them talking about different brands. Coz all we associate with US are morphe, jeffree star, fenty, mac, kylie, kkw etc
Omg thank you Rachel for bringing up that women shouldn't have to feel the need to wear makeup to be professional at work! 49:25
I had a boss when I was in my later teens (17-19) and worked in clothing retail, our district manager told me I needed to dress more feminine and wear more makeup in order to make sales and do my job properly. I was told if I didn't comply the consequences we're write ups and termination. Thankfully i stood my ground and went to hr but it was coming from an almost middle aged man who wore khaki cargo shorts and flip flops to work 🙄 the hypocrisy was real but it did end up becoming a running joke amongst myself and some coworkers😂
on the subject about makeup at work, i think it is important to note that you still need to shower brush your teeth and brush or style your hair. However, makeup shouldn't be required ever, unless your some sort of TV personality or model. If men don't have to wear makeup, women don't have to wear it either. simple as that. if your boss has an issue with your acne, that's on them not you.
loved this episode! i will mention though that when double cleansing, make sure you use whatever oil or oil based cleanser on your dry face before wetting it! The idea is that oil and water don't mix so oil on your dry face (with makeup or sunscreen or whatever has collected throughout the day) will break down those particles more efficiently before using your face wash.
Usually cleansers that are formulated with oil will turn into a milky texture once you splash water on your face (it'll activate the cleanser) and after this is when you'd use your typical cleanser (gel, cream, water, whatever cleanser works) to clean off any excess makeup, dirt, grime etc. However, if you're using coconut oil or something that isn't necessarily formulated to wash off with water, I would then use my cleanser to help take the oil off my face! The idea is that you'd need something with a soapy texture to help break the oil! If you tried to wash off the oil with just water, you'll find yourself dealing with a weird thick oil texture on your face haha
Cleansing balms are also another option prior to cleanser! There are some balms that are formulated with plastics or something and isn't that great for the environment though :( My fav oil cleanser that's decently priced (im talking canadian $$$) is the iunik calendula cleansing oil (korean skincare brand) and then i use the cerave hydrating cleanser as my second cleanse :)
Ariel looks so good with that highlighter! I need that dupe tho ✨
Thank you Rachel for bringing up makeup and professionalism. As a woman in her thirties with no interest in spending time/money on makeup, I'm constantly frustrated with these kinds of societal expectations of women...
YESSSS! We do NOT have to wear makeup to be professional. Thank you! 👏🏼 👏🏼
I love all of this! I'm so glad Becky kept thinking of people who can't afford luxury brands. Also, love the pod in general ❤
May I suggest that Miles gets a small segment of the pod? It would be interesting to hear Miles ask the ladies for advice about whatever random topic he comes up with
I’m waaaay too low maintenance with make-up. Eyebrow pen and gel. Benetint on my lips and when I feel like it a cream blush. And sometimes a bit of cover with some sort of concealer. But mostly just eyebrows and benetint and out the door😂 no mascara for me, too much of a hassle 🙊 Looooove a good skincare routine thooo
The thumbnail is Trypod energy but the podcast vibes are definitely cutie booty. Thank you, Professor Becky, for your insights!
Would love to see a video of Becky doing Rachel’s make-up and helping build a routine!
What has helped me be even more lazy is use Just for Men to temporarily dye my eyebrows for a couple of weeks 😂 Just leave it on for 5-10 minutes and wipe it off! Life changing
💞 2nd pod appreciating maggie’s cozy sweaters 💞
Ariel the thing you put on looks great!!
Becky’s hair is goals!
it’s been a very stressful week for me and being able to unwind with the pod is always so comforting :) love it as always!
Forever saving the laundry episode and the Becky as an expert episodes cause they changed my life and I need to rewatch and take notes
Bronzer is typically warm toned, contour is usually cooler toned. I use a gel cleanser too Maggie. I do add a cleansing balm if I have a full beat or a smoky eye. Ariel, the cleaning balm is also gentle enough for my super sensitive eyes. I bought a winged liner stamp that really has helped me. It gets me started and I can get the angle right before completing the rest of the line.
This episode really highlights just how different the ladies are from their audience. Were just in totally different economic brackets. Stuff like "It's only $17" and "there isn't anything good less than $20" just blows me away.
That could be because they’re from California in the LA area
Chanel is also a luxury prestige brand so most of their makeup and skincare is priced in that regard ie minimum of $30
They are in there thirties or most of them. Most people by there thirties can afford those prices.
Legit I shop mostly in target and ulta for makeup. I can't afford Sephora it 's WAY TOO expensive.
I’m not in their tax bracket and that sounds about right. You choose what you prefer to spend on and I choose to spend on quality skincare. That doesn’t make you or me any less of a person.
I needed this episode so much! I always struggle with makeup so thank you!
This is so useful especially since I had an unfortunate Not Like Other Girls phase and have no idea what to do when it comes to makeup
I enjoy this podcast so much because I always feel like I’m talking with my older sisters that are also my friends and they’re giving me advice🥺💜
My show-and-tell would be micellar water and reusable/machine washable cotton pads. I have sensitive skin and this combo gets off the makeup easily without having to rub and scrub your face.
I never wear foundation because I haven't been able to find a color that matches my skin tone. I might look pale white in the winter but if you compare me to someone who is actually white I am very olive green due to my cherokee heritage. My Mom and I both have such a hard time finding anything that matches us.
Look into Alexandra Anele. She is fair skined with olive undertones and she reviews foundations and concealers and tells you what works for that type of skin tone.
I went to sephora where they took a picture of my skin with this machine and the exact match of my skin tone in products they carry popped up
Thanks to the episode last week I have a daily skin routine now! Cleanse,moisturize and sunscreen (finally got myself some); spf 30 and then cleanse and moisturize at night! Instant improvement to my skin. Thanks Becky!
i get my makeup online directly from the source or packaged up from others, straight from the people. i did this after watching many reviews and try ons on youtube and reading all the reviews everywhere.
one thing i learned from jeremy renner (he used to be a make up artist) - frame the face! brows, lashes, lips 😂
DANG! I just thought of a question to ask and im surprised no one brought it up with them !!
Ladies in the comments: how do you apply foundation/makeup to your neck without it smudging onto your clothes?? Or do you even need to put makeup on your neck?? I use a Fenty liquid foundation that matches really well to my complexion and I just use that with some spot concealer (and milk hydro boost primer) but i never do my neck because it smudges onto my fashionable clothes and i can't risk that!! T__T I also dont use a powder makeup setter. I just use a setting spray from nyx that works well to give my face a dewyness but it doesn't stop smudging. How do women deal with makeup on their necks, especially when you're wearing nice clothes?? If my foundation matches my face well...do i even need to extend it to my neck? Ive asked one or two of my female friends and there answer was like 'oh....yaaaa....makeup does smudge...' and that was it!!! so i never bothered to ask them again.
some background about me: I'm a 30 something gay asian male and i recently got into wearing light makeup and i dont have much experience with it other than watching jackie aina vids lol. I got into skincare and my skin improved a lot but i still wanted to feel extra pretty because i'm into K dramas now and the guys and girls look so perfect so i just wanted to up my game a touch.
I think if it matches your skin tone, you don’t need any on your neck! Just try to blend well just underneath your jawline and as long as your face and neck don’t look different colors, you’re good!
@@asearchfordelicious ya I think im too scared to get any makeup on my neck LOL
Thanks ladies. It is great to see Rachel back after not being here last week. 💜
As an aspiring closeted drag queen that lives in a pretty conservative area, this podcast really helps. Love you guys.
I love Beckyyyy, I totally agree with trying each product one at a time. I usually do that with my makeup because I have acne-prone skin.
Yay! I love listening to You Can Sit With Us so much. It's my relaxing time every week. You guys are so sweet and fun.
reusable makeup wipes are cheaper in the long run!! I bought these really awesome really soft ones and I use those with just water first, then put on my cleanser to melt the rest away and my skin is so much happier than when I would use the disposable makeup wipes!
Okay but can we get a Try Wives episode WITH RACHEL where they get EXTRA glam makeovers OR drag makeovers where Eugene calls his drag queen friends and gets to be the judge.
Just watching this for the first time I would love to see a Becky and Trixie makeup collab
OMG Becky! Thank you for mentioning the tutorial for hooded eyes! So super helpful!! Off to practice!! Love the podcast ladies!!
Becky’s the most beautiful soul ❤️
I don’t know if it was in this episode,BUT I am from Europe and we drink in my country a lot of sparkling water!
Rresearch says that it is hydrating, even more than regular water and it s recommend after workouts! We also have a lot of different types of water and they have add ons like minerals, which change the taste of the water.
I just wanted to throw it in there cause it s popular myth about sparkling water!
Question for Becky! What should we do with stuff like foundation that doesn’t match?
Oooh, good question! I used to get a nail polish subscription every month and they would throw in random makeup that I've tried once and didn't like. I tried it, so I can't give it to someone, but I just can't throw it away
I'm not Becky, but maybe I can help 😂 I usually buy another foundation so I can mix them together to create a better shade match. If you don't want to get a whole new foundation, there are liquid pigments available (blue, white etc) that you can mix into your original foundation to change the tone or the shade. I've never bought them so idk the brands that sell them, I just know that they're an option. Hope this helps!
For a huge shade range check Madara, a European certified natural cosmetics brand. Their "Skin equal" foundation is popular, though on the pricier side compared to commercial brands. Here the term "natural cosmetics" is it's own thing completely, you can't sell products as natural cosmetics if it doesn't have one of those specific widely recognized certificates with more or less the same standards like no animal cruelty (ever) and a required levels of organic and fair trade ingredients. The companies are usually local and have smaller selection of products in general, so all shades are not necessarily found everywhere, but the orientation in the past years has been becoming more inclusive as the companies grow and have more resources. Madara is certainly pioneering on that field around here.
I use to wear makeup but it got to be too much of a hassle since I have such oily skin. My face would always get way too shiney/feel heavy and still can even without makeup. I've been on the same medication for years to try and curb the over oil production my skin makes.😅 At least it keeps me looking younger longer on the plus side.
Can you do an episode like what Rachel suggested where you talk about what you're using and Becky shops with you? I find her suggestions so interesting and eloquent and since you all have such different concerns/lifestyles I'd love to hear what she'd recommend for you.
yess instagram is full of small businesses! it’s an amazing way to find woman owned, POC owned, lgbt+ owned and ethical makeup brands. loved to hear that Becky looks there too!
I feel like a good question is how long is make up good for? Like when to throw out or replace certain items.
Agreed to the makeup wipes. I am trying to convert my mother to micellar water since I find that it works better.
"We don't stan Drunk Elephant here." I love that for us
