I've been wanting to make a video again.
For a while now.
And that's kind of a nice feeling.
So, I'm gonna make a get ready with me type-video, because I need to get ready for the day, and
uh, that's how it goes.
So, I've just washed my face and stuff,
so let's go.
[sound of cat claws on scratching post]
Really cat?
You're doing that right now?
[scratching continues] [snaps off camera] Can you stop?
Can you stop it?
[Meow!]
No.
I'm actually gonna, put one of those clips back in.
I haven't always worn makeup, in fact I used to very specifically not wear makeup.
And I didn't not wear make up for like...
I feel like I may even have a video of this on my channel, but the main reason that I
didn't wear makeup is because I just never got into it and I didn't see a reason to get
into it and to learn about it.
So I just didn't bother.
But.
In June I was in a wedding, I was a bridesmaid, and the bride, like, on a day-to-day basis
wore a lot of makeup and in talking about her wedding she was talking about how she
was hiring a professional makeup artist and how she was kind of going all out.
And I'm just like, "Hmm, umm, cool, so I'm gonna have to step up my game."
So I said, alright, well, I'm gonna go and buy some stuff and I'll just learn how to
do it.
So that's what I did.
I learned how to apply makeup.
Because I was a bridesmaid.
And I've continued to use it.
And I'm a little, I'm so surprised.
It's been a lot of fun.
Hi kitty.
I'm sorry I took your toy away.
That's a good place for you cat.
In learning to do my makeup, I feel like I really have to specifically mention Miss Mary
Lu, who literally sat down with me and was just like, "This is how you use this", "This
is a good technique to applying these things", like literally, anything that I learned I
probably learned from sitting down with Mary once.
She's great, she's always beautiful, and she has a really great channel, so check her out.
Eeek.
This is always the scary moment where I look really, really intense, with like, way too
heavy eyebrows, and then, we blend it in, and it's all okay.
It's going to be okay.
See, look at the difference.
This one's a little red, because I was rubbing it.
But it's much softer.
So the thing about makeup, for me, is that.
I mean, I'm very lucky, I have very clear skin.
My hair is a kind of unique color, so people can focus on that and they don't notice that
I'm not wearing makeup.
So I was able to just kind of coast without figuring out how to do makeup for a really
long time.
And that was nice, but now that I've learned a little bit, and have a bit of a routine,
I can see a lot of the benefits of having that kind of routine.
And I think one of the main benefits is that, even though, like I just said, I don't really
have very bad skin, I think that having a makeup routine has forced me to have more
of a skin routine and I'm washing my face more often and things like that.
So that's probably good.
Am I even in focus?
[camera sounds] Yikes.
[camera sounds] That's embarrassing.
[unintelligible]
(softly) Ahh!
It's so far out!
Muhuuh!
So, yes, I don't NEED makeup, but it's actually kind of fun, which I wasn't expecting, like,
AT ALL.
So it's been cool to create a bit of routine and have this kind of creative outlet that
I get to like, go out into the world and like, everybody sees.
And sometimes people notice and sometimes they don't.
And if they don't then that's fine, but if they do, that's also, kind of nice and, like,
"Oh, thanks, I've worked on it, I've been working hard on that."
When I first started wearing makeup, like practicing for the wedding, everybody noticed.
Like, hard core everybody noticed.
Like, "Oh, you're wearing..."
And sometimes it was like really, like, "You're wearing makeup, aren't you, it looks really
good." Stuff like that.
I never got anything bad, nobody was saying bad things, but like, sometimes it was more
subtle and people weren't sure if it was a change or if they should say anything about
it, and they're just like, "You look really nice today?" and I'm just like, "Oh, thank
you."
Just let them wonder a little bit.
That's fine.
There you go, that's pretty much it.
And lipstick.
So, this is going to be super over the top for what I'm doing later today, but I don't
even care.
This is maybe like, a little bit more than I wear when I'm just like, "Oh, I wanna wear
makeup today, but this is kind of a typical look for me.
I don't always, oh, I guess I can do the thing.
I don't know how to do the thing.
I don't know what I'm doing.
I didn't put anything on my cheeks.
But, there you go.
And then I'll put my glasses on.
I think that's the big thing for me, is like, I look...
I feel super made up.
And super extra when I'm wearing makeup, and I've just put it all on and I'm just like,
I look so over the top.
Everybody's going to notice everybody's gonna say something.
And then I put my glasses on, and I'm just like, "Oh, no, I still look like me, it's
fine."
This is a video, and I'm glad to be done with it because this means that I'm much closer
to being ready for the day and because now I can turn the airconditioner back on or at
least open the windows, we'll see which one I decide.
Thank you for watching.
And I hope you get a chance to do something you love today.
And I'll see you again soon.
I hope, I think!
Yeah, I'll see you again soon.
Oh, and, sidenote, you may know this from following me on other social media platfroms,
but my choir is in America's Got Talent this season.
I've talked about my choir before, I'll link to that video, up here somewhere.
If you are interested, the first audition aired a couple weeks ago, we sang Africa,
by Toto.
We go got four yeses from the judges, and got through to the second round.
The second round, AKA Judge Cuts, AKA I know so much about how America's Got Talent works
now, because I'm in it, it's fine.
This round is called judge cuts, and we are in the episode that is coming out this next
Tuesday, which is the... 24th, I think.
It's the episode with guest judge Olivia Munn, so that's allowed.
I'm allowed to say that now, it's been announced, and I've also already mentioned it on all
my social media platforms, so I figured I would mention it here too.
We're on America's Got Talent, we're going to be singing in the next round and I'ma be
on TV.
There you go.
That's it.
That's all I got for ya, kay, bye!
