started i was a baby here in la i've grown so much since that video in so many ways this was before veneers this was before the lip filler but it's also the placement of like my blush my bronzer

gonna be so much fun okay so i'm gonna pull up the video the first video i ever made when i first moved in to my one bedroom apartment in l.a so this is like my everyday outfit then versus now like today it's so much more sporty i feel like the way i dress that even my room and everything was was so texas and girly wedges oh my god the wedges now i'm in sneakers back then i would would never wear like fitted tops or anything and that was fitted towards like my boob area or my like stomach area just because i was so self-conscious i had myself when i was 20. i always had like extra loose skin around my stomach and i always covered it up in my my boobs it just looked like deflated balloons i just would cover them up as much as i could so i would layer on tops it looks really cute and it looks like a little more dressy but now that i'm free like i'm i'm just free i'm always in crop tops and now i'm like i wear fitted bodysuits and stuff like that but i got a tummy tuck in 2016 for 2017 i think i was able to then wear in my 30s more like fitted stuff here i think i was like 27 26 or 27 something like that okay so the first thing that i'm doing is grabbing an eyebrow color from an eyeshadow palette i would always do this even with my under eyes like when i first started doing makeup i would always use like a brightener from my eyeshadow palette for my under eyes everything from my eyeshadow palette that's kind of like why i created my first palette the latte palette for face and eyes because i would always do that and i feel like it's easier i always had trouble with my brush fitting into it so that's why pans are bigger going back to this eye shadow just takes me back so i have a morphe palette that's a nyx palette but it's something like i would use back in the day so i'm going to take this shade right here because that looks like the closest to my eyebrow color i think and i have my eyebrow brush back then i would just follow my natural brow shape now i never follow my brow shape i always like a straighter brow and i actually after 2014 i went straight to super glam and my brows were like full and arched and there was so much makeup i'll do this side as my og follow my natural shape oh my god throwback now i feel like my shape is just too thin and it's not flattering for my face and my eyebrow is like way back here and i always like drag it in so wow my makeup has changed so much since i first moved here like my style the way i spoke if there's no copyright music i'll let you guys hear what i sounded like but i was like almost so timid and scared of everything and everyone and you can tell in my voice no i'm just a lot more confident in what i do i've grown some thick skin since i moved in la from that time and just going back and hearing my voice and seeing how just how much i've evolved and developed i feel like i was such a baby there this video by the way is only three minutes and 49 seconds how did i make it and i remember getting this palette i think i got this palette from when i was in the nyx face awards in 2013. that's how i had that you know why i was extra shy too is because when i first moved here i moved here because of ipsy so i had a videographer in front of me filming the whole time and so i was already super shy and nervous and then after that i was like i'm just gonna do voice over the whole time when i first started because i was like i can't like i'm scared i'm nervous this is awkward and then i started getting really comfortable and now i don't have anybody filming me i feel myself and i can see myself so it's easier okay so this is my eyebrow i think this is pretty good in old school style i followed my natural brow shape my shape now this is what i do i love using pencils especially this one for me this is like brow pencil of the year for 20 20. this is the urban decay brow blade it's one of my favorites so one side has the pencil and the other side has like a pointed tip it's an ink stain so i have like five of these because i adore them so much and i run through them so fast like i have another one in here now what i do is i line up the front of my brow with the tip of my nose my nose is kind of crooked naturally just to let you guys know but this helps to kind of balance and give my face some symmetry so i take the tip kind of line it up where it would start and it's like right there but trust me at the end it makes me feel better and i feel like it looks really good so and now i just draw like soft little hairs forward so it looks like hair draw them straight up like flick my my brush and it looks like little baby hairs right there and i'll go through the whole brow like that and then i start to balance out my brow i like a straight brow i think ever since maybe 2018 or 2017 i like started going into the straight brow ever since i got back from korea and i did the half american half korean makeup i fell in love with the korean brows and i feel like it looks really good with my face shape and helps to balance everything so i just run my brush very or run my pencil very softly over that naked area and i'll just fill in that spot and then right here is where i'll start to do this straight brow and i'll map out like how straight i want it and then i kind of elongate my brow a little bit because it's a little shorter than what i'd like and then i'll turn my brush on the i mean my pencil on the other side i keep calling it a brush and just do these little licks these hair like looks so you get some dimension and natural like hair type of strokes through there and they're not perfect they just kind of go through them and it looks pretty natural afterwards and then i have another step so there's so many more steps than what i had back then actually is this one from sigma it's the color and shape brow powder duo in dark so take both powders and then i'll just make sure that everything is really locked in and set i do my brows before i put on anything on my face like primer or any makeup because i feel like it grips to my skin a little bit better okay so there is a big difference in my brows now this brow is a lot more rounded and smaller this one's full and luscious all right so i go straight to concealer what i didn't even put on primer like what these days i do a lot more skincare so before i even put on anything on my face i'll use a moisturizer this is actually a hydrating primer from my line but i'll use this for hydration because i am very dry so i'll put it on this side i wish i can talk to my younger self and just kind of like girl what did you do this is like my everyday what that's why i broke out so much i still break out but my skin is a lot smoother than what it was and after my skin is hydrated nice and hydrated then i'll go in with an spf this is actually another type of primer it's from super goop i love love this primer it has an spf of 40. it's awesome i feel like it's great for oily skin i do have more dry skin but that's why i use my hydrating primer and then i'll go in with this because it has the spf of 40 and it does kind of smooth the skin out so i like that it has more of like a silicone kind of feel to it and it really gets into the pores and smooths everything out my primer is also smoothing but it doesn't have that thick silicone feel to it it's more of like a really hydrating moisturizing primer and that's why i like to use that but this one is going to smooth everything out and protect my skin from the sun as well so i like to use both of them together and i'm so sad that my younger self did not use primer the crazy thing is like i still use makeup forever this is my current favorite concealer from makeup forever then it was from makeup forever as well it's like the full cover one but this one is amazing it's new ever since it came out i can't stop using it it just gives me a new layer of skin it's smooth it just covers everything this is 2.5 i just got this new shade in because it's lighter it's more brightening so i'll use that afterwards so i'm just going to go in with the same concealer because it's basically the same brand and gives you more of the same effect and back then i would put it exactly on my dark circle like every dark spot that i had so i put on right in here here basically on my cheeks and that's where i have like redness and stuff so i'm just gonna throw it on there that's probably why i didn't put on foundation but i used my finger your fingers are fine they're actually they work really well but it's just i need a makeup wipe i feel like i can really see the texture in my skin because this is a mattifying concealer i need a primer you know i look dry but that's how i used to do it you know by the way you guys my nails are very baby short and i want to show you this from far away because i'm new at nail wraps but i just started getting these nail wraps from it's called neca nails it's a small latina owned business and i love to support small businesses especially latinas i never want to use nail polish again i just want to use no wraps because they look so smooth and they're easy to apply so i'll link them below if you guys want to try the neca nail wraps but they are a lifesaver because my nails look really ratchet underneath this wrap polish the next thing that i do surprisingly i put on my lashes i've been using this lash glue which is awesome because it's not hard to get out of your eyelashes and especially the way i put it on i need something that's going to be easy to remove i always get my lash glue and i just put it on like liner and it's going on straight onto your your skin so it's going to warm up quicker and that means it's going to get tackier quicker and then the lashes that i've been putting on these are like my everyday lashes i ordered more because i'm obsessed with this style it's so nice it's from patrick tall it's called the i mean style on and they look so pretty i cut them a little bit more on the ends just so they're not as like flared out these really transform your eyes like it gives you more of an elongated look so let me put these on i just set it in the middle and then i'll flip them upwards like this just to make sure that they are nice and they sit up on my eyes so that lashes on i just usually kind of let it sit there for a little bit before i go back in with mascara so i'm going to take this mascara from lancome it's the hypnose drama one of my faves love this style brush and their formula is really nice there's a hair coming out of it it's probably mine so it's fine all right cool so now i have my eyelashes on my brows and my lashes if my brows and my lashes are on i feel like i'm halfway there already i'm trying to catch up to the concealer so i don't put concealer on yet then i go in to this like it's it's a very lightweight foundation it has a lot of good for you ingredients this is also makeup forever i would almost say that this is more like a cc cream so on this side i'm just gonna even out my entire skin tone it helps to make my skin look super healthy and glowing that's why i really love this and now i would get into the concealer i just take it right in the corner down the nose very close to the inner corner and then i bring it out elongate the eye even more but instead of my fingers i'll go in with a beauty blender and press it into my skin and it's not going to look as dry as this side and like settling into my fine lines because i have all the hydration protection underneath it so it's just going to look nice even then i just bring it down to the nose i have this dark line that goes down the side of my mouth towards my chin so i like to bring concealer upwards to kind of make an illusion that i don't have that going on my face so next i went in with a bronzer on this side you could see i'm using the bare minerals bronzer and i loved the coverage on that bare minerals bronzer and that's kind of why i used it all over my face to like warm it up because it had the coverage but i didn't realize that that's the reason why i was breaking out so bad i would break out really really bad but my makeup before the breakouts looked really good in full coverage that's why i liked it but i stopped using it because i get really bad breakouts with it so for bronzer i'm going to take private island from fenty and that's going to warm up this part of my face i'm going to take this because it's pretty large and add warmth i still say the same thing add warmth to the outer perimeter of your face down my neck kind of sweeped it everywhere on my nose i didn't even contour my nose and then for bronzer on this side i use cream first so the one i use is from fenty it's the butter biscuit i'll do a little contour down the side of the nose the tip and on the forehead so i do a lot more shaping to my face these days in restructuring the face i'll add it to my cheekbone and right in here to the jawline and this is like my everyday i just kind of go through the motions here it's more of a i guess more of a glam every day because of the lashes and the contouring but this is my everyday that's what i do so once i have that i also contour my nose with the zoeva brush and the 146 concealer i'll start at my brow and go down my nose i feel like this really changes the shape of my face my nose and i'll make a straight line and then i'll do the front a little bit to round it out and this just gives my face so much more symmetry and just go right through the crease with it just take a beauty blender make sure everything is nice and soft there's no crazy lines then i go into powder to brighten up the dark areas of my face and i'm using the bare minerals one that broke me out like crazy extra coverage and brightness on my under eyes and around like the hollow areas of my face so i'm gonna go in with this brush right here and my kat von d setting powder this is a super full coverage powder i feel like you can definitely get really cakey with this because it is very full coverage but if you use it right you look so flawless like so so flawless you don't see any dark areas so i'm gonna go in to my under eyes and then i just went over this area right here wow i didn't even have like any shadow at all and i'll just take this with my beauty sponge and it doesn't look as cakey in person i just go here and dab that and i like to set the center of my face i don't set around because i lose that luminosity i guess or that like natural radiant look so i'll just do that area and it looks a little more even okay then i go into my eos balm which i have an eos balm still obviously it's not from back then but this is a newer one so i'll use this on the side but i it's a little like grippier it's a nice prep but i don't use this so i want to stay true to my lip on this side on this side i'm going to use this milani green goddess one just because it's it glides on a lot softer and it just gives you like a nice little dewy finish whereas this one's a little more of a grip and then i go into instantly flirty lashes oh instant flirty lashes oh my god let me curl my lashes the way that i sound back in 2014 is so like soft sweet and almost like a little baby i don't know like i was just so scared and nervous about everything and i'm so glad i overcame that i don't know if i still i might still sound the same i'm just a little bit more expressive but i definitely feel like i have a lot more confidence from back then and so seeing those videos is just like it's a little cringy it's a little cringy for me but they're nice to look back at and see how far that i've come internally so i curled my lashes this side's already done and then my staple wing liner no eyeshadow just winged liner for this side i actually skipped a step i'm gonna go over with a powder bronzer so i'm gonna take the bronzer on my side and just use it as a blush it like sets the bronzer in place and then i'm going to go over the nose so now i'm going to put on the winged liner in the liner that i use with something similar to this this is a wet and wild mega liner i'm create a casual wing so i'm gonna do that now i have more folds than what i had in my eyes back then that looks about right how i used to do now i just use my lashes as my liner and then i used the better than sex mascara and i was scared to say the word sex texas is very conservative and that's how i grew up so i don't even cuss till this day if i do cuss i'm like tipsy or upset it's very like rare i guess actually as i'm getting older it comes out more back then it was like pg-13 or even pg7 g i don't know it was very very innocent that's just how i was raised i have the mascara the better than sex mascara and it's not the mini it's the full size this time she could get the full size so i'm gonna put this on and i loved the shape the shape of this mascara just stole my heart and i even showed you guys the before and after of how amazing the mascara was like you definitely see the difference you could tell when i turned it aside for the mascara on this side before i do the mascara i do put on some bronzer right there i should do it this is just like the step that i do to add a little depth right there so it's not so flat and then i grab my mascara and i'll put some mascara on i found a blush i think this the one i was using was from nyx it was like kind of similar to this from essence which is one of my favorite drugstore brands and we're gonna put let me see how i put on my blush very lightly almost the same way that i do it now i just bring it up a little bit higher i just put it on kind of exactly on my cheekbone and then i brought it up here but the way i do my blush now is different and now if i were to show you guys i don't do this every day but i would put it closer to the top of the cheek and i'll bring it up like that and then i'll put it on my nose obviously so it just the placement kind of changes your face shape a little bit you can tell right away just looks a lot more lifted youthful looks good now we're done with the flush let's see what else did i do now we're taking a oh this is like an inner corner highlight by itself and for that i grabbed this one this is from makeup forever it's starlit powder and i'm going to take a pencil brush and then i just put it on my inner corner and then i actually don't do anything else to my eyes so i'm gonna skip and then i went into a lip balm but i got this one instead this is from jouer and it has like a pink color to it so i'm gonna take this and apply it on my lips hopefully it gives me enough color and then on my side i'll put on my lip liner this is the creamy filling defined lip liner and crush and it still has like a pinky tone to it i just like to define my lip line a little bit more like right in here i just realized the amount of restructuring that i do to my face and lips is like that's probably why i look even more different and then i'm gonna take she's a tease this is the soft blur lipstick and i'm just gonna put that these two colors are like your lips but better and lastly i like a healthy glow so i use my skin gloss in copper literal bronze which is really pretty so this cream over your powder just gives you more of a natural healthy glow i love both sides but obviously my more current side is something i feel more comfortable in just because over the years i've learned how to make the texture on my skin look a lot softer hydrated figure out what my skin type was and really figured out how to enhance the structure of my face so just the placement of my blush and contour is so much more different now that you know i look different so cool to take a stroll down memory lane to see like how my makeup was back then i would love to see your guys's makeup recreations if you do this post a picture on instagram tag me i would love to see [Music] thank you guys for watching i hope you
