My third Youtube challenge of the year.
The first challenge, blindfolded makeup, made me laugh. The second challenge, letting my cousin do my makeup, made me shriek. While this third challenge made me excited. How else should I feel when Brunei's top makeup artist does my makeup? Albeit with no thumbs.
So how did it go?

My father retorts.
His sarcastic jabs at my makeup are accurate though. Seeing as I do love purchasing new products to play. Though it did make me ponder at the amount I spend. Not just on all my makeup but the makeup I use regularly. So how much do I spend on my everyday face?

That is so freaking hard to find. Seriously.
I call this an 'American' Makeup Haul because these US-based brands are hard to find here. A rare commodity, lauded by the few who manage to grab it. International shipping is horrible, expensive and time-consuming.
It would take months before they arrived, friends warned me. These arrived late, three months after purchase. However, that was my own fault. A story for a later time. Now, we'll focus on these products.
So what did I manage to get?

And proceed to fail at professionalism.
The Five Looks For Eid, a highlight of how professional as I could be, ultimately left a lot snipped out. The awkward laughter, long pauses and my inability to hold a brush properly. Yes, there were many scenes cut for the better. Then proceeded to edit together into one pathetic video.
Here is the Blooper Reel!

And Selamat Hari Raya!
Chomping on food, meeting old friends and making awkward conversation with family. There's truly nothing like Eid. Hence why I love it so dear. My favourite part is getting ready. Able to dress my best, and slather makeup without hassle. For this year, I thought I would share a few looks. Best for the festive season but easy for beginners.
Here are my #5Looks4Eid!

And most likely, you will be wearing makeup. A lot of it.
By the start, we pamper ourselves with expensive looks, with great flicked liner and contour sharp. It won't last. By the end of the day, mascaras will smudge and lipsticks will fade. An unfortunate, inevitable occurrence. However, there are some ways to minimise the outcome with just a few extra steps.

So little time to watch.
There are so many beauty bloggers in the world. I should know, I am one.
YouTube is filled with them, each looking different and similar at once. And though, I don't watch many, I do have my favourites. Those who have a voice among mummers. Who I keep visiting because of their skills and value. There are many but I narrowed it down to five.
Here are just a few Beauty YouTube Channels You Should Follow!

Ever.
This is my cousin, Faiz. Bored one day, lounging in his room. I asked him, 'Do you want to do my makeup?' to which he grinned and I immediately regretted my words. But as a girl who holds her words, we filmed My Cousin Does My Makeup.
And he failed miserably.

Whatever that means.
Cut creases run rampant in beauty communities. The epitome of strong eyes; bold and beautiful and found on multiple Instagram pages. With the suggestion of my cousins, I decided to do one myself. Wearing a strong cut crease with a bold lip.
So how did it go?

A question posed often.
Usually out of curiosity than malevolence. I answer jokingly with a half-hearted smile and benign laughter. 'People scream when they see me bare-faced,' or 'One thing leads to another and nothing ever stops.'
A person's descent into makeup madness begins slowly. Just a concealer and mascara before exploding into puffs of powdering smoke and smokey eyes. I decided to tell my beginnings through visual-audio form.
Ish.

Let's ignore my stunning, totally real blue-green eyes and focus on the matter at hand. What's the secret to glowing skin? Is it Inner Peace? Happiness? Kindness? Nope.
It's highlight. Lots of highlight.
Also known as 'Strobing,' this finish has become rather popular this year. A strong glow for dewy skin. I made a quick step-by-step Strobing Tutorial a year ago. I thought I would revisit the concept and improve on it. This time, focusing on creating a strong strobe with a warmer finish.
So here is my revamped Strobing Tutorial! How to Achieve Glowing, Dewy Skin!

Or was I?
Urban Decay's Naked Skin Foundation will always be my holy grail.
But it has its problems. It's too lightweight and causes flashback, hence why I only use it as an everyday foundation. So when events arrived, I realized I needed a full coverage foundation. Not too thick for my normal skin type, and would last throughout the days.
So I picked up Too Faced Born This Way Foundation. In hopes it would be the full coverage I needed.
Is it? Yes, and no.
