Watching the video back at home is funny. There’s no music, for one. I’m not saying it would add much value, I’m just used to some jaunty ukulele in the background of beauty videos. Also, most of it is just my own face peering up at me. Once I get over how strange it is to essentially watch surveillance footage of yourself (is this how it feels to be a Kardashian?), I pick up on a few things. I usually swear by a Beautyblender-and-fingers combo for my base, but the brush she’s using leaves a wonderfully natural finish. I carefully study the placement and blending of that pop of colour, and bravely dip my brush into the untouched brights of my palette. She’s right; orange somehow works brilliantly on my eyes – which I never would have guessed – and black is a better evening option for me. I’ve also long been curious to try Tom Ford's bestselling Shade & Illuminate Contour Duo, but been thrown by the creamy texture. Now I can see exactly how much to apply and how deftly to buff it for maximum impact.
