As an oily-skin person who gets sweaty-faced if the temp is over 73 -- plus the fact that my skin is changing a lot lately (tysm, perimenopause!) -- I'm very much Team Minimal Base now. Full coverage foundation isn't doing me any favors these days, and it's just impossible to main that "done" look when you're a sweat factory who lives in the gulf south. ALSO ... it's absolutely amazing how much blemishes/spots/things you want to cover seem to "disappear" once you increase the overall _contrast_ on your face. Fill brows, apply mascara, strong lip color, and a little blush -- suddenly those spots don't jump out anymore, because they're kinda blending into the background and the focus is on the stronger contrast of your lips and eyes. Magic!
Absolutely agree and I have found this to be so very true about blemishes/ contrast in the last year or so. I do everything else before I can seal. I honestly wouldn’t do it any other way now. I have found that I can seal less than I do when I start concealing first. And I only spot to conceal, even if I have some slight redness on my cheeks, I use a bit of a red blush anyway, which usually covers it up better than trying to conceal it! Thank you for sharing this about contrast, because I think so many more people need to experiment this way! I find I apply far less make up and I ever did before and I actually look effortless because it was effortless
@@ashlynnkaplan680 Yep! Less work, for what's often a better end result, that's also easier to maintain. Win win win! (This is absolutely NOT because I'm lazy and can't be bovvered.) (Okay it's a little bit that.)
That's weird. I don't usually wear foundation at all, which works fine, if I do a minimal makeup routine. Mascara, eyebrows and just a hint of blush and lipgloss or tint. But as soon as I apply real lipstick or do a more bold eye look...suddenly my skin looks way worse. Shinyness, pores, patchyness...every tiny little flaw jumps out at me. Things, I don't even register, usually. And I'm like 99% sure, it's not me wearing an unflattering color or such. I tried a lot of lipsticks in my life and I'm pretty sure that by now, I've figured out, what suits me. But if I want to actually wear it, I feel I need to wear foundation as well, to even out my skin first.
I've been doing number 1 and 2 for years. Actually, it never ceases to amaze me how much complexion makeup Americans tend to wear. They call it flawless but, in my opinion, when their faces look completely different than their chest and arms, it doesn't look like flawless skin, it just looks like they're wearing a mask. Same with fake eyelashes, so plasticky and, well, so fake. However, I love a bold (and therefore fake) lipstick, so I guess it's just a matter of preferences😅
I have a very hooded inner corner that I've basically spent my entire makeup-wearing life trying to cover or hide away so my favorite makeup risk I've gotten into recently is actually putting a textured sparkle, a glitter, a bright color over that inner corner and drawing attention to the hoodedness of my eyes there and I've found that I actually love it.
This is exactly why I started following you - thoughtful, creative, and artistic ideas that are borne from the friction of setting boundaries. Don’t just go buy something for inspiration, make it work with what you already have. Chef’s kiss!!
Hi Hannah I was forced this week to wear no complexion make-up as I had microneedling done and was advised to do limited make-up this week . I had my first compliment today as a male colleague said I looked so beautiful today ,wow can you believe it only had on a bronze nude lip product and eye liner as an added color this was such a big eye opener for me with regards to changing up my look😁
I love this! For people who wear a full face of makeup every day, minimal makeup feels like a huge risk. Vice versa, a full face for those who like minimal makeup would be a way to step out of their comfort zone. You touched on another great idea. For those who love to glow, trying a matte look would be interesting, and vice versa, going from matte to glowing could be a great challenge. Neutral to bright could be fun, similar to what you did. Mixing warm and cool tones could be interesting. You never know what you may find. Walking through a department store, a brand rep asked if she could try a new color of blush on me. It had just come in, and she wanted to see how it looked. That little experiment taught me that the peach blushes I always wore didn’t do for me what pink did, especially a bright, blue-based pink like we’ve seen popularized lately.
Love 💕 the idea of freshness and newness without any purchases. Let’s all take a moment for self-reflection and think about all the multitudes of reasons why we wear makeup and buy things - especially makeup - and how we can recreate those feelings without buying more things! Genius!
Loving the pale blue monochrome. I can't walk away from my eyeshadow without adding something sparkly, but this is a reminder of how nice a coloured matte can look.
I remember wearing a red lip round the house a few times first before wearing it out for the first time, and that helped me get used to my face in it. For my makeup risk: as a pale person, I found bronzer a risk before. I'm just starting to wear lip liner for the first time and overdraw my lips. Feels really risky to me still!
I’m a guy and I don’t like looking too painted but been wearing a very light base(rose Inc.) for evenings out and events. It’s super low maintenance and I don’t feel suffocated and I don’t think it looks as severe as men can look with a full beat and a beard. I do test runs at home on the weekend if I’m adding eye makeup.
Another fun “risk” that I love is to wear a pop of color as a liner. I had this teal eyeliner a long time ago that I used to wait to use for like the “right” occasion which meant I never wore it. I then decided one day that I wanted to use it up so I just started wearing it like every day and I loved it so much. It was such a simple way to do something just a little bit fun and I’ve honestly missed it ever since I finished it up.
The light blue eyeshadow is absolutely killer on you! It is such a lovely contrast to your natural coloring, but it is also awesome to see that amazing Gucci shade in use. LOVE!
I like this concept! A risk I think anyone can take is repurposing products such as eyeshadow shadow as blush - some of us have neon pinks that we can try the pink blush trend with. Can you do a video on your signature looks? About 2 years ago I started collecting really loved looks and noting the descriptions and products, I’m at about 20 very loved combinations so far. It’s some double liner, it’s some spicy neutrals, it’s some shadow placement/blending techniques, and sometimes it’s just a color block combo that really suits me.
I appreciate seeing 1990 full on here. It made me realize just how "up my alley" this shade is. I own exactly zero lipsticks, I am a lip chewer lol. I would quit that habit for 1990.
Fellow lip chewer here. My lipstick doesn't look good for long at all - the middle is usually gone within 15 minutes - but I still wear it. I just make sure I always have a small mirror & wind down lipbrush and reapply the centre. (And as I'm a skin biter too, bright red lipstick shows up all over my hands!) Don't deprive yourself. 💄👄
A risk that I recently took and I love is to wear no base (only sunscreen) and use a lipstick as a monochromatic colour all over the face (lips, cheeks, eyes and a bit of the forehead). No concealer and no mascara. Intellectually stimulating video as always. Thank you for providing Beaty with Brains x
Here is what I do to de-rut. In the summer when I tan, I have been known to do a bold colored pencil eyeliner with a corresponding colored mascara. Cheeks are blush free. Base products are minimal. Lips are sheer and nude, like with a slightly shimmery nude gloss. Favorite eye colors include teal pencil with green mascara, cobalt pencil with cobalt mascara, lavender pencil with purple mascara. I wrap the color all around the eye and smudge it and go in with a generous amount of mascara. The eyes come front and center and it’s a great look with bronzed skin. You can experiment with bronzer all over the face and then do the eye. Then, to really complete the message, wear corresponding colored earrings.
My makeup risk I’ve tried a time or two now, was a multi-color-blocked pastel eye. I loved it, and actually thought it turned out really flattering. I like the idea of makeup as personality/fun/character, rather than “beautifying”
You have inspired me to step out in just some Glow Lust all over, and a bit of shape tape on my forehead, undereyes, and chin. I feel beautiful and light!✨
From the 3rd thing, a matte eye at all would be something new for me. The other two, I often do. I also like to wear one and done shimmer or satin shadows. But when I try to do all matte (not just monochromatic), I tend to throw a topper over it. I tend to go ham on the shimmers 😂 But watching different creators definitely helps me to keep my makeup game fun. I love recreating looks, whether it's from videos or pictures. The next look I wanna do is one of the Yucca palette promo pics.
it feels like you've described my usual makeup - no base/bear base, bold lip without any other makeup or one bold eyeshadow without sculpting 💜 I guess skipping mascara and not doing *anything* with brows can be those risks worth trying)
Yay! I’ve followed Alyssa for years and y’all have always struck me as playing similar tunes just w different instruments. So fun seeing your take on this idea!
I love your practicality on suggesting we use what is already in our stash . I have so much stuff and many times I don’t even use makeup because it’s so hot where I live in South Texas . So I end up with a collection that doesn’t get used or used very lightly . I am a one and done color person so I don’t really need another new palette. 😊You are a breath of fresh air and a beauty . Keep on doing such a great job for both the younger ladies as well as us more mature ladies I love that your recommendations span all age groups ❤❤❤❤❤
I like trying out different locations on my eyes for a single focal point for a pop of colour. Instead of the inner corner with a sparkle, I can do a circle of colour on the outer eye, or a coloured liner look but on the bottom lash. Something that helps me thinks of the shapes differently and not just the colours
I recently lightened up on foundation and feel so much better. I have always worn full coverage due to rosacea, lots of broken capillaries and high sensitivity to hot weather (I live in Georgia 🙄). It came down to no longer caring what anyone thought about me. When I'm in public with no makeup people ask me if I'm feeling ok, it's that bad. Once, a thoughtful cashier started to fan me with a poster because she thought I was overheated, but in reality I was just fine. Transitioning to a lighter coverage foundation was truly pushing myself but I'm glad I have done it 🎉 I love a bold lip!! My favorites are Sephora #lipstories in matinee and Labyrinth city, Sephora satin lipstick in 15, and Revlon cherries in the snow. Wow!! I need to try that monochrome eye!! I know I have untouched shades in my collection. Lovely video ❤😊
I've been enjoying the single shadow look a lot these days. It's been extra helpful on days where I'm in a funk and a whole face seems like too much work. I try to use a happy color and see if it helps improve my mood.
Hannah, I LOVE this idea! You look especially great in that blue eye shadow look! A risky look I've been meaning to try is false lashes only--no eyeshadow, and the rest of my face pretty bare and neutral. I have very little space for falsies, and most of them look ridiculous on me because they go way up into my brows. However, I found one style that I like. Problem is I'm so unskilled at applying them, that I mess up my eye makeup every time. So I thought wearing only the falsies with no other eye makeup would be the cure for that. I need to remember to try it!
Wow, I just discovered both your channel and Alyssa’s this past month, and have been loving both of y’all’s perspectives on slow fashion/beauty and your creativity in pulling together great looks without spending more. So it was fun to hear you mention her! Loved this video; inspired to try all of these. :)
This is very similar to my makeup style. My skin is pretty good, so I’ll just slap on tinted SPF mixed with a glow product for base then I do one feature only: bold lip, eyeshadow or that sunburnt blush look (plus a light coat of brown mascara with any of the looks). I feel these “single feature” looks are very fresh and modern.
Some simple but impactful ideas, feeling very inspired now! A bunch of years ago I had a bright, mid-toned blue eyeliner that I used to line my upper lashes with. It falls into the monochromatic but colorful eye look, I might need to make that my summer eye…
Wow I am seeing your subscriber count sky rocket over the past months, and I am so happy for you. This such a nice community you’ve built here. I’m so glad to be a part of it😊
6:21 I’ve been going for this approach for the past two years. I had significant acne at one point, so I have a good amount of hyperpigmentation and scarring. I gave up attempting a “flawless finish”. I felt like it just made everything more obvious. To achieve a somewhat uniform look I had to use so many products, it gave off a spackle impression. Now I focus more on skincare and spot concealing, without caring too much about full coverage. My skin looks so much better overall. My healthy bare skin peeking through makes the scarring have way less of an impact. I highly recommend this even for those with a lot of hyperpigmentation/scarring. ❤ so glad you suggested this
I feel like having two toddlers has pushed me into the less base bold lipstick space. When you have limited time and still want to look good it really works…needless to say I own so many bold lipsticks now. Also I got bangs, cheap alternative to Botox 😂
Love your account, Especially how informative the fabric videos are, please talk more about great quality fabrics, how they effect how clothing looks and how we can incorporate them in our own wardrobe! ❤
I love that blue shadow on you. And, I agree, it’s a good idea to do something that stretches in the direction of discomfort. I’m 59 and I’m a pretty simple makeup girl. Lately, I’ve been trying new things everyday. There is really nothing to lose and a whole lot of fun to be had.
I really love your videos. I feel like I always learn a LOT, but more specifically/importantly, I learn how to think differently. The tips in this video are great. One of my takeaways is, "look at what you have and intentionally break your routine", which is so refreshing in so many ways. I think about your video on looking great when you don't feel great (paraphrasing the title there). I've used your approach (black turtleneck/elevated casual top, hair in a low bun/pony with clips for fringe, eyebrows, bold lips, done) when I simply cannot think about how to put myself together, and it's just a total life saver every time! And it's made me start to think about/take notes on other such go-to looks I can create to ease the decision-making fatigue on other days. I regularly think about your analytical approach to what you have in your wardrobe and how to determine if you need more of a certain category. I haven't come up with my levels yet, but since watching that video, I think about it constantly when I feel like I don't have anything to wear. I've realized a ton about what I have, what I keep buying, and what I actually need to buy. ANYWAY, thank you. I really appreciate how you think and the fact that you take the time to share your processes.
I already do less steps than most people on socials but last weekend I decided to pair down things even more and I had one of my best makeup days ever. A true lesson in less is more.
My version of only using a lipstick as color makeup is wearing blush with no other color makeup (usually I use clear shiny lipgloss with it though). It’s kind of fresh and sweet looking I think. Very season appropriate right now
a risk I want to try is a heavy under eye eyeshadow with little to nothing on the upper lid and i also want to try no sculpting products, just a statement blush on the cheek and blended onto the eye
I have been trying various lip shades, oranges and browns and pinks. Anything beyond a neutral lip seems to feel risky. Thanks for another awesome video.
Recently I tried taking a chunky shimmer shade all over my lid space, from lash line to brow, over a finished look (like what HLP used to do quite often) and heavily draped with a shimmery blush to connect it to the shadow. It was so pretty at dinner and dancing in the low, twinkly light. I was so nervous it would look too coachella-esque but I was so happy with how it turned out.
I just bought the new dark blue lipstick from Make Beauty because I was scared of it but also drawn to it. I've been loving the bold lips that you've been doing so I want to try them, both in safer colors, and blue.
I audibly gasped at the reveal of the soft blue eye shadow. It works perfectly with that suuuuper light makeup base and just a touch of mascara. I’m doing this look today! (But with a pastel purple)
Entire video of experimenting with one shadow pop of color eye looks please!!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍so beautiful on you because it’s so different from what we’re used to. I love it.
Also monochromatic eyeshadow and in general makeup that isnt necessary mainly there to shape a face towards "beautyfication" is just so much more fun and creative.
I really enjoyed this video, Hannah! Thank you so much. I am a “more is more” girl with makeup so I’m excited to try all of this! I will rock a bold blue-based red or super bright pink on some occasions but I realized there is a Merit orange shade called Cabo that I’m afraid of! I’m going to wear it today, super built up, with just a touch of mascara and a very natural base and see what happens! I’m very pale so I do feel more confident with blush. Thinking of using the same Merit lipstick on my cheeks but super sheeted out, with my finger. And that’s it! Tomorrow, I’m already thinking of playing with an old, beloved Huda Beauty palette that is a workhorse in my stash. The Mercury Retrograde palette is full of pinks and purples and rose colors that I turn to constantly. But, I have neglected a matte mint shade, as well as a sparkling teal shade, forever, aside from swatching with my finger. I think I’m going to use one of them tomorrow, paired with my beloved Clarins lip oil. I’m excited! Also thinking of a brunch I have this weekend where I want to show up natural and glowing. I’m going to do what you did in look one with what I already have. I plan on using the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter lightly all over (as you did with your Natasha Denona product) and a touch of my Givenchy concealer (the actual concealer, not a color corrector like yours) only on the couple of places I need it. I’m excited to try it and see how I feel! Thanks for the ideas, and for allowing me to ramble and map them out here! Love your content and the community you’ve created! ❤
as someone on like… baby (foetus?) levels of makeup artistry, these looks appeal to me a LOT because of how un-intimidating they seem in terms of application. ever since you showed the about face eye paints i’ve been considering investing in one for one-and-done looks. (i’m curious if you did end up keeping the fractal glitter one, it’s the one i’m most drawn to) 💜
Im a guy and I have the shimmery silver one and it has a lot of impact very easily. It’s a great fun shadow. I am just dabbling in stuff like that and we go out dancing a lot😊
I'm so into the blue eye look! It reminds me of the monochromatic yellow eye look from the smiley palette/rebranding video, which I've LOVED recreating. Definitely going to pull out some lesser used colors to try out in the coming weeks.
I LOVE color. Give me all of the colors!!!! And recently "risked" doing a monochromatic mauvey look with eyes, checks and lip and loved that too! Love your content! Thanks for the video.
I feel that all these risks are in some way winking to 1990's makeup, and I like that. I've been happily riding on the almost-bare-face, crazy-eye-makeup bandwagon for a while now, and I've been really enjoying it. I find it so unrefined and refreshing. More creative than beautiful, which I like because it tells something about me to who's watching me. And overall, I agree, often much greater self-reinvention comes from changing makeup habits than from using new makeup products
I usually go for mattes to avoid emphasizing lid texture, I like to build dimension for my hooded eyes, and thought bright orange was my worst color. So I put one a shimmery copper orange eyeshadow all over my eyes. completely untouched. I'm SHOOK by how much I like how it looks!
Hannah I would loooove to see you do a warmer toned overall look! I’d be so curious to see you in a warmer green/warmer browns and, warmer brows too! I think it would be fun to see the difference between that and the tones you typically gravitate towards!
This is sort of in the vein of your first suggestion, but: I used to never want to wear eye makeup without also base makeup, because the skin felt too natural in contrast to the made-upedness of my eyes. This, however, would inevitably lead to me not wearing makeup at all, because I don't muuuuch care for sweating through foundation, as I will inevitably do, in case I apply it. So my makeup risk, which I now love doing, is saying fuck it, applying eye- and cheek makeup, but just leaving my skin as is. And it works really well. It's not perfect or necessarily balanced, but it's me and my makeup excitement shining through instead of "creating the perfect look/face".
Thanks to your recent videos, today I am rocking a mustard focused eye with mustard & white striped pants (always thrift shop after a HLP fashio vid!) & white tee...definitely outside my former comfort zone but so much fun!
I’m watching this video after already having done my makeup today, but oddly enough- I tried something new. I always wear mascara and I usually feel that my makeup looks incomplete without it. Today, I did a bronze smoky eye and after finishing my makeup I realized I didn’t want to put mascara on today and I didn’t! I really enjoyed my makeup today, so I would say the makeup risk paid off. Thanks for the video, Hannah! :)
This was such a fun video, Hannah! I loved going through my makeup stash to rediscover the hidden gems I applied the most pastel colors from my almost untouched Huda Beauty Mercury in Retrograde palette and fell in love with colors that I’ve been too timid to try 🥰 Thanks for walking me through Can’t wait for the next one ❤
Love the eyeshadow and bold lip idea. I never wear pink or red or even bold brown lips. I need to try that. Blue eyeshadow is kind of scary for me. 😬 And bold gold. Also, I think I want to experiment with lashes, something I never do. Minimalizing my face makeup (except for blush) has been so freeing for me. I can pretty much just color correct and conceal around my mouth and be done. 🤗
This blue pop up your eyes dramaticly! Stunning
The hair, the blue shadow, the glowy skin and top/dress is giving such 70s vibes and it's stunning on you!! Beautiful!
Yes I would love to see her hair feathered! Where is that trend? It needs to make a comeback!
Agreed! Hannah can rock any look.
Hannah looks like a movie star in that look!
I was just about to say the same thing! Hannah looks like the 4th Charlie’s Angel.
Yes! I was so looking for this comment! I swear!!! 😂😂

Saaaaame

Yay! Light blue eyeshadows
Have been waiting for you to show us how you wear it, NOT DISAPPOINTED
UGH that blue eye and glossy lip!! so right!!
You have inspired me to step out in just some Glow Lust all over, and a bit of shape tape on my forehead, undereyes, and chin. I feel beautiful and light!✨
love it!!!
LOVE the blue eyeshadow look on you! You look Lana del Rey-Ish 🤩💙
Same!
From the 3rd thing, a matte eye at all would be something new for me. The other two, I often do. I also like to wear one and done shimmer or satin shadows. But when I try to do all matte (not just monochromatic), I tend to throw a topper over it. I tend to go ham on the shimmers 😂
But watching different creators definitely helps me to keep my makeup game fun. I love recreating looks, whether it's from videos or pictures. The next look I wanna do is one of the Yucca palette promo pics.
I am totally the same with always throwing a topper on even if I've tried to do all matte!
it feels like you've described my usual makeup - no base/bear base, bold lip without any other makeup or one bold eyeshadow without sculpting 💜 I guess skipping mascara and not doing *anything* with brows can be those risks worth trying)
Yay! I’ve followed Alyssa for years and y’all have always struck me as playing similar tunes just w different instruments. So fun seeing your take on this idea!
I love your practicality on suggesting we use what is already in our stash . I have so much stuff and many times I don’t even use makeup because it’s so hot where I live in South Texas . So I end up with a collection that doesn’t get used or used very lightly . I am a one and done color person so I don’t really need another new palette. 😊You are a breath of fresh air and a beauty . Keep on doing such a great job for both the younger ladies as well as us more mature ladies I love that your recommendations span all age groups ❤❤❤❤❤
Oh my goodness the blue shadow w/the lashes and soft lip is stunning on you Hannah, a TOTAL mood!
I like trying out different locations on my eyes for a single focal point for a pop of colour. Instead of the inner corner with a sparkle, I can do a circle of colour on the outer eye, or a coloured liner look but on the bottom lash. Something that helps me thinks of the shapes differently and not just the colours
I recently lightened up on foundation and feel so much better. I have always worn full coverage due to rosacea, lots of broken capillaries and high sensitivity to hot weather (I live in Georgia 🙄). It came down to no longer caring what anyone thought about me. When I'm in public with no makeup people ask me if I'm feeling ok, it's that bad. Once, a thoughtful cashier started to fan me with a poster because she thought I was overheated, but in reality I was just fine. Transitioning to a lighter coverage foundation was truly pushing myself but I'm glad I have done it 🎉
I love a bold lip!! My favorites are Sephora #lipstories in matinee and Labyrinth city, Sephora satin lipstick in 15, and Revlon cherries in the snow.
Wow!! I need to try that monochrome eye!! I know I have untouched shades in my collection.
Lovely video ❤😊
That’s it I’m fed up of trying to obtain a perfect base in the morning while rushing to work. I’m going basic with a mono eye loved it 😍
I've been enjoying the single shadow look a lot these days. It's been extra helpful on days where I'm in a funk and a whole face seems like too much work. I try to use a happy color and see if it helps improve my mood.
the blue eyeshadow is such a perfect shade and looks beautiful on you!
Hannah, I LOVE this idea! You look especially great in that blue eye shadow look! A risky look I've been meaning to try is false lashes only--no eyeshadow, and the rest of my face pretty bare and neutral. I have very little space for falsies, and most of them look ridiculous on me because they go way up into my brows. However, I found one style that I like. Problem is I'm so unskilled at applying them, that I mess up my eye makeup every time. So I thought wearing only the falsies with no other eye makeup would be the cure for that. I need to remember to try it!
Wow, I just discovered both your channel and Alyssa’s this past month, and have been loving both of y’all’s perspectives on slow fashion/beauty and your creativity in pulling together great looks without spending more. So it was fun to hear you mention her! Loved this video; inspired to try all of these. :)
Adored this! And the ice blue eyeshadow is STUNNING on you, very Daisy Jones
🥰
This is very similar to my makeup style. My skin is pretty good, so I’ll just slap on tinted SPF mixed with a glow product for base then I do one feature only: bold lip, eyeshadow or that sunburnt blush look (plus a light coat of brown mascara with any of the looks). I feel these “single feature” looks are very fresh and modern.
Some simple but impactful ideas, feeling very inspired now! A bunch of years ago I had a bright, mid-toned blue eyeliner that I used to line my upper lashes with. It falls into the monochromatic but colorful eye look, I might need to make that my summer eye…
Love the last look!! So much fun!
Same!
Wow I am seeing your subscriber count sky rocket over the past months, and I am so happy for you. This such a nice community you’ve built here. I’m so glad to be a part of it😊
The first word that comes to mind when I think of you is elegant ❣️
I love Alyssa’s channel! I’m starting a low buy so the idea of being risky with what I already have is super fun and creative.
hannah, you and alyssa are my absolute favorites. i am so glad you enjoy her too!
6:21 I’ve been going for this approach for the past two years. I had significant acne at one point, so I have a good amount of hyperpigmentation and scarring.
I gave up attempting a “flawless finish”. I felt like it just made everything more obvious. To achieve a somewhat uniform look I had to use so many products, it gave off a spackle impression.
Now I focus more on skincare and spot concealing, without caring too much about full coverage. My skin looks so much better overall. My healthy bare skin peeking through makes the scarring have way less of an impact.
I highly recommend this even for those with a lot of hyperpigmentation/scarring. ❤ so glad you suggested this
I feel like having two toddlers has pushed me into the less base bold lipstick space. When you have limited time and still want to look good it really works…needless to say I own so many bold lipsticks now. Also I got bangs, cheap alternative to Botox 😂
The blue is looking glorious on you. Would love to see you experimenting more with such colours!
Love your account, Especially how informative the fabric videos are, please talk more about great quality fabrics, how they effect how clothing looks and how we can incorporate them in our own wardrobe! ❤
That blue looks STUNNING on you!!
I love that blue shadow on you. And, I agree, it’s a good idea to do something that stretches in the direction of discomfort. I’m 59 and I’m a pretty simple makeup girl. Lately, I’ve been trying new things everyday. There is really nothing to lose and a whole lot of fun to be had.
I really love your videos. I feel like I always learn a LOT, but more specifically/importantly, I learn how to think differently. The tips in this video are great. One of my takeaways is, "look at what you have and intentionally break your routine", which is so refreshing in so many ways.
I think about your video on looking great when you don't feel great (paraphrasing the title there). I've used your approach (black turtleneck/elevated casual top, hair in a low bun/pony with clips for fringe, eyebrows, bold lips, done) when I simply cannot think about how to put myself together, and it's just a total life saver every time! And it's made me start to think about/take notes on other such go-to looks I can create to ease the decision-making fatigue on other days.
I regularly think about your analytical approach to what you have in your wardrobe and how to determine if you need more of a certain category. I haven't come up with my levels yet, but since watching that video, I think about it constantly when I feel like I don't have anything to wear. I've realized a ton about what I have, what I keep buying, and what I actually need to buy.
ANYWAY, thank you. I really appreciate how you think and the fact that you take the time to share your processes.
I already do less steps than most people on socials but last weekend I decided to pair down things even more and I had one of my best makeup days ever. A true lesson in less is more.
My version of only using a lipstick as color makeup is wearing blush with no other color makeup (usually I use clear shiny lipgloss with it though). It’s kind of fresh and sweet looking I think. Very season appropriate right now
a risk I want to try is a heavy under eye eyeshadow with little to nothing on the upper lid and i also want to try no sculpting products, just a statement blush on the cheek and blended onto the eye
The light blue shadow looked so pretty on you.
The brown lip looks amazing on you! These are great ideas. You don't need to go buy something new to do something new!
I have been trying various lip shades, oranges and browns and pinks. Anything beyond a neutral lip seems to feel risky. Thanks for another awesome video.
Orange is so beautiful impactful and underrated!
Wow! The blue eyeshadow looks really nice!❤
Recently I tried taking a chunky shimmer shade all over my lid space, from lash line to brow, over a finished look (like what HLP used to do quite often) and heavily draped with a shimmery blush to connect it to the shadow. It was so pretty at dinner and dancing in the low, twinkly light. I was so nervous it would look too coachella-esque but I was so happy with how it turned out.
I just bought the new dark blue lipstick from Make Beauty because I was scared of it but also drawn to it. I've been loving the bold lips that you've been doing so I want to try them, both in safer colors, and blue.
Thoughtful, creative, inspiring - just the Monday boost I needed
I audibly gasped at the reveal of the soft blue eye shadow. It works perfectly with that suuuuper light makeup base and just a touch of mascara. I’m doing this look today! (But with a pastel purple)
Entire video of experimenting with one shadow pop of color eye looks please!!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍so beautiful on you because it’s so different from what we’re used to. I love it.
Also monochromatic eyeshadow and in general makeup that isnt necessary mainly there to shape a face towards "beautyfication" is just so much more fun and creative.
I really enjoyed this video, Hannah! Thank you so much. I am a “more is more” girl with makeup so I’m excited to try all of this! I will rock a bold blue-based red or super bright pink on some occasions but I realized there is a Merit orange shade called Cabo that I’m afraid of! I’m going to wear it today, super built up, with just a touch of mascara and a very natural base and see what happens! I’m very pale so I do feel more confident with blush. Thinking of using the same Merit lipstick on my cheeks but super sheeted out, with my finger. And that’s it!
Tomorrow, I’m already thinking of playing with an old, beloved Huda Beauty palette that is a workhorse in my stash. The Mercury Retrograde palette is full of pinks and purples and rose colors that I turn to constantly. But, I have neglected a matte mint shade, as well as a sparkling teal shade, forever, aside from swatching with my finger. I think I’m going to use one of them tomorrow, paired with my beloved Clarins lip oil. I’m excited!
Also thinking of a brunch I have this weekend where I want to show up natural and glowing. I’m going to do what you did in look one with what I already have. I plan on using the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter lightly all over (as you did with your Natasha Denona product) and a touch of my Givenchy concealer (the actual concealer, not a color corrector like yours) only on the couple of places I need it. I’m excited to try it and see how I feel! Thanks for the ideas, and for allowing me to ramble and map them out here! Love your content and the community you’ve created! ❤
That blue eyeshadow looks beautiful on youuuuu
Okay but for your consideration: that gucci blue eyeshadow + merit 1990. I love a pastel eyeshadow with brown lips!!
as someone on like… baby (foetus?) levels of makeup artistry, these looks appeal to me a LOT because of how un-intimidating they seem in terms of application.
ever since you showed the about face eye paints i’ve been considering investing in one for one-and-done looks. (i’m curious if you did end up keeping the fractal glitter one, it’s the one i’m most drawn to) 💜
Im a guy and I have the shimmery silver one and it has a lot of impact very easily. It’s a great fun shadow. I am just dabbling in stuff like that and we go out dancing a lot😊
@@taintedlife2618 ooh thank you! ☺️ i’ve seen people apply the silver and that also looks really pretty 🤩
Sending in a request for a video on fabric types when buying clothes…and how to take care of clothes!
Wow! The blue eyeshadow looks INCREDIBLE on you! So summery and chic. I really love it! 💙🌻🦋✨
I love eyes with no eyeshadow. Maybe a little of the blush in the crease and thats it! Love a bold lip!
I'm so into the blue eye look! It reminds me of the monochromatic yellow eye look from the smiley palette/rebranding video, which I've LOVED recreating. Definitely going to pull out some lesser used colors to try out in the coming weeks.
I just still love your goodbye at the end 🩵 It‘s always motivating and just so wise and nice.
You look a boatload younger and healthier in this last look with the glowy skin and simple eyeshadow.
I LOVE color. Give me all of the colors!!!! And recently "risked" doing a monochromatic mauvey look with eyes, checks and lip and loved that too! Love your content! Thanks for the video.
I feel that all these risks are in some way winking to 1990's makeup, and I like that. I've been happily riding on the almost-bare-face, crazy-eye-makeup bandwagon for a while now, and I've been really enjoying it. I find it so unrefined and refreshing. More creative than beautiful, which I like because it tells something about me to who's watching me. And overall, I agree, often much greater self-reinvention comes from changing makeup habits than from using new makeup products
Beautiful fresh and light looks for summer
This is a brilliant video. Loved it. *chefs kiss*
Love that blue shadow on you.
I usually go for mattes to avoid emphasizing lid texture, I like to build dimension for my hooded eyes, and thought bright orange was my worst color. So I put one a shimmery copper orange eyeshadow all over my eyes. completely untouched. I'm SHOOK by how much I like how it looks!
I love these fun, little suggestions.
That sky blue shadow is a great look for you. it looks like the 60s brought forward to today - modern mod.
Hannah I would loooove to see you do a warmer toned overall look! I’d be so curious to see you in a warmer green/warmer browns and, warmer brows too! I think it would be fun to see the difference between that and the tones you typically gravitate towards!
This is sort of in the vein of your first suggestion, but:
I used to never want to wear eye makeup without also base makeup, because the skin felt too natural in contrast to the made-upedness of my eyes. This, however, would inevitably lead to me not wearing makeup at all, because I don't muuuuch care for sweating through foundation, as I will inevitably do, in case I apply it.
So my makeup risk, which I now love doing, is saying fuck it, applying eye- and cheek makeup, but just leaving my skin as is. And it works really well. It's not perfect or necessarily balanced, but it's me and my makeup excitement shining through instead of "creating the perfect look/face".
Such a lovely look for you! The dewy powder was the perfect addition
Thanks to your recent videos, today I am rocking a mustard focused eye with mustard & white striped pants (always thrift shop after a HLP fashio vid!) & white tee...definitely outside my former comfort zone but so much fun!
I’m watching this video after already having done my makeup today, but oddly enough- I tried something new. I always wear mascara and I usually feel that my makeup looks incomplete without it. Today, I did a bronze smoky eye and after finishing my makeup I realized I didn’t want to put mascara on today and I didn’t! I really enjoyed my makeup today, so I would say the makeup risk paid off. Thanks for the video, Hannah! :)
This was such a fun video, Hannah! I loved going through my makeup stash to rediscover the hidden gems
I applied the most pastel colors from my almost untouched Huda Beauty Mercury in Retrograde palette and fell in love with colors that I’ve been too timid to try 🥰 Thanks for walking me through
Can’t wait for the next one ❤
hannah you are just the best, i love you and your videos infinitely, hope you and baby poston are happy and healthy
Love this! Going to plan for my bold lip tomorrow 💙🩷
I follow Alyssa, too, and what great fun to apply this idea to makeup. Trying idea 2 with my New Wave lippie from Lisa Eldridge tomorrow!
Love the eyeshadow on you!! I do one eyeshadow color only because I am not good at applying many shades..and it is just easy…!
Great video concept, the third look is so fresh on you!
Love the eyeshadow and bold lip idea. I never wear pink or red or even bold brown lips. I need to try that. Blue eyeshadow is kind of scary for me. 😬 And bold gold. Also, I think I want to experiment with lashes, something I never do. Minimalizing my face makeup (except for blush) has been so freeing for me. I can pretty much just color correct and conceal around my mouth and be done. 🤗
Loved this take on makeup and am feeling really inspired!! If you ever come up with more suggestions i would love to watch another video like this❤
