Recreating My DISGUSTING Old Makeup Looks!

hi sisters james charles here and welcome back to my youtube channel for today's video i'm very very excited because it is a little bit of a special anniversary video and i'm going to tell you why i'm not exactly sure when this video will be uploaded but today the day that i'm filming this it is the end of october which means it is my five year anniversary of the first time that i ever put makeup on myself it is so crazy to think about i cannot believe it has been five years obviously so much has changed in the last several years we've been able to build an amazing family together your 23 almost 24 million sister strong which is so crazy but probably the biggest thing that has changed overall has been myself particularly my makeup artistry skills it's always one of them gotta be ugly i am definitely very very proud of the artist that i am today but it has been quite the roller coaster of a journey to get here five years now of practicing trying out new looks testing out new products learning new techniques and overall just really mastering my skill for today's youtube video i thought it would be super super funny to try to recreate some of my worst makeup looks and make them a whole lot better let's go ahead and get started [Music] okay you guys so when i tweeted asking to send me my worst makeup photos you definitely did not hold back which is fine okay that is what i signed up for that is what i asked for this first look that i want to show you today is something that can't even be saved with techniques and it is this look right here i probably got tweeted this photo like a thousand different times and every time that somebody tweeted it it got several thousand likes so clearly this one is definitely a crowd favorite oh this is a look that i truly feel can't be saved with techniques um it was really just the stylistic concept in general that it's really the problem here i'm not sure what possessed my brain to think that literal aluminum foil eyebrows would be a good idea oh what is this i was trying to do something artsy something very off on guard clearly it did not work so instead of recreating it today i'm going to just re-imagine it if that makes sense and do my interpretation of a pink and black metallic let's just get into it this is so stupid as you guys can see my base is already on so i'm going to go ahead and zoom you in so we can just focus on the makeup look for today well as you can also see my eyebrows are done but it's because spoiler alert i'm not gonna do tin foil brows today but there will be a cool metallic element of this look like i said it's just a re imagination so just using some shape tape concealer as my eyeshadow base and the first thing that i want to do is surprisingly and i never ever encourage this but i'm going to grab a little fluffy brush this is an m506 from morphe and dip into black and we're going to put this just on the outer corner now in this original look i did a full on black smokey eye which as you guys know i really don't love doing so i have a fun idea how we can include the metallic into the eye look so we're just gonna put this here first and now i'm going to grab a m456 brush and i'm gonna dip into escape which is the dark purple shade in the palette and we're gonna use this to very very very very carefully buff out the black with the excess escape i'm gonna bring this purple into the inner corner as well furthering that crease but obviously it's not black which is what we want with a larger fluffy brush i'm just gonna dip into skip the neon pink shade that we all know and love and use this to basically buff out the purple and create that beautiful effect okay you guys so now it's time for the metallic element of this look and unfortunately like i said it is not going to be tin foil on the eyebrows what is this but i do want to do a really cool pop of silver and not just eyeshadow i really want to use a cool pigment so i'm going to grab this new palette from the makeup by mario collection which is super super cool and it comes with this like spatula shovel if you will basically to scrape the top of this product and it like creates some fallout just like there as you can see and then it comes with this mixing medium as well and you put in a few drops then you mix it together and it creates like metallic pigment which is super super cool okay so i'm basically going to use this now to cut my crease wow that is sick and then once that metallic pigment is all on there i'm just going to grab a little bit of a purple eyeshadow and blend together this edge definitely want to do a little bit of liner as well i wanted to keep that little and now it just got really big which is not what i wanted but it's too late now if i'm gonna be honest i'm really not liking how this look is turning out so far but if we've learned anything on this channel is that sometimes those looks end up being my favorite so i'm just gonna keep on going if you see this footage that means that something good comes out of this in the end and to be fair i obviously hated the original look anyway what if you don't get it we're just going to play around with this before i move on to it the lashes i'm going to grab a little bit more of this silver pigment and luis had a really cool idea to pay homage to the tinfoil brow instead of actually doing a tin foil brow because that would be disgusting to do like a fun little graphic line underneath the brow oh that's kind of fun that's kind of cool i'm okay i'm not mad at it okay maybe i'll put a little bit in the waterline too just like right in here yeah kind of cool i mean not my favorite look that i've ever done but kind of fine the eyebrow detail is a good idea louis next i'm going to go ahead and add basically like a ton of blush you guys know it is now one of my favorite steps but when i first started doing makeup i hated blush i just thought that my face was not right for it i thought that i don't even know why i just i didn't wear blush and this look is obviously one of those moments but i think that this look would be really really really pretty with a super heavy pink blush that almost like connects into the eye shadow and a pink highlight to go along with it so we're gonna put that on right now i'm gonna bring it up to the temples as well oh so pretty like are you kidding with that wow that line was such a fun idea luis that was famous of you oh my god should i like outline the outer top too we'll decide later for now the bottom line is cool we're gonna grab some literally from my palette and give it a little spritz we're gonna put this right on the cheekbone for a pink radiant glow okay and then just grabbing a pink highlighter i'm gonna put that in the middle okay i this okay not my favorite look that i've done but like she's cute right maybe a little blush on the bottom of the nose too this is oh my god not only was i not wearing blush this was also before i learned how to put on fake eyelashes that's how early on this makeup look was there was a time period where i could not figure out how to put on fake lashes that glue my eyes together you know normally i would cut this out of the video but let's go ahead and just pop on some nice mascara and a pair of falsies really just to show the personal growth just gonna grab my lash on my tweezer just like this this is a lily lashes in the style miami i'm gonna grab my duo painted on glue this is my favorite one to use to paint a little glue on the band just like this it'll look blue just like that and then once it turns a little bit clear in about like 20 seconds maybe then you just pop it right on the eye and instead of just like plopping it on i'm going to hold this palette underneath me and look down into the mirror and i'm going to set the lash on top of my eye this makes it a lot easier to see what you're doing where you're placing the eyelash and making sure that it's actually fully stuck on there okay you guys this is one eye of this metallic look all complete i'm gonna quickly go to the other one off camera and then i'll be right back to finish off the rest of this look okay you guys we are back and this look is all complete and i will say it is growing on me a little bit but we have of course one step left to go and that is going to be the lipstick now in the original photo i just did simple black lips which i am going to do using my lunar beauty liquid lipstick in the shade wicked but i do think sometimes black lips can look so beautiful with a more avant garde type of look so i'm going to grab the lunar beauty liquid lipstick in the shade wicked and put that on and now just to make it a little bit more fun i'm just going to grab a reflective pink pigment and pat that right in the middle so much fun okay you guys well i think that is this disgusting tinfoil eyebrow makeup look officially all complete obviously the looks are nowhere near being similar but that is exactly what i wanted them to be like i said in the beginning i'm not exactly sure what creative concept i was going for but you know there's always room for improvement and i think a few years later this is a really really cool way to interpret that look i think this turned out really cool and it's time to move on to the next one all right you guys we are back and it has been a few days now i wore the same hoodie because i wanted it to seem like it was the same time but then i realized i have a new haircut there's also a new mold that has magically appeared on my face out of all the freckles and beauty marks we have there's one imposter among us and it is this baby right here because it is a pimple regardless the base is now on and we're ready to recreate another hideous makeup locker and this one that i want to do today i'm actually to be honest i don't think that this one is that bad but i can also see why so many people were sending this in and it is this picture right here now the eyebrows way too thick the lips are literally the same color as my skin tone there's no nose contour i have glasses on which i don't think looks very flattering but if i'm being honest i don't actually think the eye makeup look is that bad but you can't see it because i'm wearing my glasses now if you guys remember i used to have a very very bad eyesight i used to wear glasses and contacts every single day this past year i got lasik so i don't wear glasses very often anymore but for this look today i thought it'd be really really fun to put a 2020 james charles twist on it there was a trend in the makeup community a few months ago started by the makeup artist ashley emma where basically you take a pair of glasses you pop the frames out and then do a really cool makeup look inside of the frames so that is exactly what i'm going to do today so let's go ahead and get started to achieve this look today i'm basically creating an optical illusion so i'm going to put the glasses on my face where i want them to be and then i'm just going to take a brow pencil and i'm basically going to trace the insides of the glasses on my face now that we have this crazy shape going on on our face i know it looks ridiculous now but it'll all come together in the end i'm gonna go ahead and start painting i decided i wanted to do like a fun little like um night like uh not sunset but like dusk not dust a dusk sky not a full sunset the dust before at all sure and i'm just going to start basically putting this paint right up into here i'm actually going to go ahead and lay down blue over the entire base just because i'm going to layer more on top but for now this will be fine now that this color is all laid down i'm gonna start adding a little bit of purple just to make it a nice little ombre okay so this is looking so strange but i guess the illusion doesn't work i mean yeah okay i'm just gonna keep going i'm not gonna give up and we're just gonna see where this goes now that those two colors are on there i do want to add a little bit of black at the top of the the like frames or whatever just to add some more depth because i want it to be like a like i said nighttime vibes great now that that is all looking gorgeous i'm going to use some eyeshadows now from the james charles likes morphe palette just to set these colors in place and i feel like maybe help the blending a little bit because it's looking slightly busted right now first it's going to grab some black now i'm just going to mix together a little bit of acapella and a little bit of escape to create a nice deep indigo cult shade i'm just gonna pack this color right up in here now that we have the base layer this looks so crazy okay and it's time to add some nice details so i first want to start adding some clouds in the lower portion of the sky that kind of looks good that looks really good actually oh my god okay so we're gonna put a moon up in here [Music] that's a gorgeous little moon that we've created here on this lovely evening now that our moon is done we're just going to create some nice lovely stars in space we should play among us right now i'm in the middle of filming a video oh my god you guys okay so now that the makeup was on my face and looking gorgeous it is time to add on a nice pair of lashes now normally if i was wearing a pair of glasses i would not put on lashes because they would hit the frames which is super uncomfortable if you're a glasses wearer you know what i'm talking about but we pop the frames out of them so it'll be fine okay ready oh my god fun that's so cool are you kidding and from the side she looks crazy mama alright you guys i'm going to try to keep my head as still as i possibly can keep it because clearly if i move around the illusion does not work anymore but i think that is this really cool glasses illusion makeup look inspired by ashley emma all complete and although this was you know a little bit of a sister struggle to put together i love how it turned out in the end i think this is so so cool and it's definitely a huge huge improvement from the old makeup look all right you guys well i would love to continue this walk down memory lane but honestly i think i need to call it quits because these makeup looks are just so ugly i had so much fun recreating these and putting my current modern day twist on a lot of these old makeup looks and i really hope that you guys enjoyed it as well i really honestly want to turn this into a series so definitely let me know in the comments down below if you guys liked it what other looks you'd want to see me do and also if there's one that you absolutely hate leave me like a suggestion of how you think i could reimagine it because a lot of these looks that i was looking at i agree with you guys were so beyond ugly but i could not even think of how i could possibly make them better so definitely open to lots of ideas and suggestions but like i said if you guys
