00:00Hi, I'm Alisha.
00:01Hi there, I'm Ryan.
00:03Today, I'm trying the no mirror makeup challenge.
00:06It's pretty difficult to go on YouTube nowadays
00:07without seeing one of these no mirror makeup challenges.
00:11It's breaking the internet everywhere.
00:13I'm gonna look at myself for a little bit.
00:17Okay, let's get started.
00:18I'm gonna just put this liquid lipstick on my mouth.
00:22This feels so weird without a mirror.
00:25Ah!
00:27Did I miss?
00:28I can't even tell.
00:29I'm just dabbing right now, like on the lid.
00:33I hope that I'm getting the entire lid.
00:35I have no idea.
00:37Is this blending in?
00:39Is it sitting on top of my skin?
00:42Like, this is stressful.
00:45So I feel like I got my base down.
00:47You know what, since I'm doing a red,
00:49maybe I'll do a gold, a gold eye.
00:52I think for any glitter look, eyeshadow base is a must.
00:57So I'm gonna try and put this on.
01:00This one's like flesh tone, so it's not that difficult to get right.
01:04Although I'll probably mess it up.
01:05So I'm just going to blend this in with my finger in hopes that I'm covering all bases.
01:13And I'm gonna mix my two glitters to get the eye look that I want.
01:18I feel like, since you are just using glitter, it doesn't necessarily have to be perfect.
01:22I'm just going to just apply it the best that I know how.
01:32Oh my God.
01:34I feel the glitter falling.
01:36I'm pretty sure that my face is looking very festive right now already.
01:44Gotta wing it out.
01:46This is probably more than enough glitter.
01:49I'm just gonna like, just like, oh wow, yeah.
01:54I'm gonna just dab.
01:58I need a mirror.
02:01Now I'm just gonna do the gloss.
02:04Even the lip gloss has glitter in it.
02:06You guys went in today.
02:08I'm gonna add one of these guys here.
02:12These loose glitters.
02:14I mixed red and brown for sort of like a wine look.
02:19It's probably just gonna look like red and brown glitter.
02:23This is the blue color.
02:27Smells like clay.
02:30I just feel like right now I'm just like piling it on.
02:34I might try like, just like a little, kind of work with the like, fall that I got going on.
02:41I might as well just do a full face.
02:43Is this a good look?
02:45To make this look even more crazy sexy cool,
02:48I'm going to add some of this pink glitter.
02:53This is my wild heart right here.
02:56I feel like my face is covered.
02:59I've got glitter all over my hands.
03:01This is like a very subtle day to night look, I think.
03:06This is the final look.
03:08I'm ready for the mirror.
03:10Is that the mirror?
03:11Let's see, let's see.
03:14Oh, holy shit.
03:20I got some glitter on that too.
03:24Okay.
03:25Oh my god.
03:26All right.
03:27Yeah.
03:27I look like a circus clown that went to Vegas and got really drunk and passed out in a hotel
03:34room full
03:34of showgirls.
03:35So definitely the look I was going for.
03:40Surprisingly, I think that I applied the eyeshadows on my eyes pretty well.
03:45I have to say without a mirror.
03:47Now don't get me wrong.
03:48I don't think that it's good and I don't think that it's perfect,
03:51but it's definitely not as bad as what I thought it would be.
03:56The lips look a little crazy.
03:58Would I do this again?
04:00Probably not.
04:01It's definitely like a either or situation, but I'm pretty impressed with my abilities.
04:08Try it at home if you dare and we'll see you next time.
