00:04Hey everyone, it's Taylor from Refinery29. Today I'm going to show you how to mix your makeup like a pro.
00:12So if you're normally a tinted moisturizer wear and you need a little bit more coverage, you can mix your
00:17concealer in and you're going to get more of a medium finish.
00:21Now, because concealer is a little bit more opaque than a tinted moisturizer, you want to use a very, very
00:26little bit of the tinted moisturizer.
00:27I'm using the Laura Mercier Oil Free Tinted Moisturizer. And I'm going to be mixing it in with the Tarte
00:32Creaseless Concealer.
00:36Now, because this concealer is really intense, I only need a tiny, tiny bit of it.
00:41And again, we're just going to mix it with our finger.
00:46But this is going to take the tinted moisturizer from ultra sheer to more of a medium coverage,
00:52which will cover up more redness and even the skin tone out even more than just the tinted moisturizer alone.
01:04Now it's time to talk about lips.
01:08So with all the different lip trends out on the market, it can be a little daunting if you're more
01:11of a one lipstick kind of girl.
01:13Today I'm going to show you how to mix a few different colors with a few different lip products and
01:17get endless possibilities.
01:19Most of us have a classic red lipstick in our kit.
01:21But how do you take that classic red lipstick to a deep jewel tone for fall or lighten it up
01:26for a lighter pink for spring?
01:28I'll show you how to do that with just two extra products.
01:31So the lipstick I'm going to be using is the NARS Shanghai Express, which is a really opaque burnt red
01:37almost.
01:41I'm going to start by just applying that to the lip.
01:52So once you've applied it, you're going to blot a little bit off so that it doesn't get too crazy
01:56and too thick on your lip.
02:02Now I'm going to go in with the Estee Lauder Gunmetal Luminizer, which is a gray lipstick.
02:09It looks a little scary and by itself it would probably make you look like a corpse.
02:12But over the Shanghai Express, it's going to turn into a really deep, beautiful jewel tone.
02:27And voila, a beautiful jewel tone for fall.
02:31And now, using the same red lipstick, I'm going to show you how to create a lighter, fresher look.
02:36So taking the Shanghai Express, we're going to apply it again, but this time we're just going to blot it
02:40on so it's almost like a stain.
02:51And you can blend it out with your finger if you don't get it uneven.
02:57And now using the NARS Albatross Lip Gloss, which is a white shimmery lip gloss,
03:02we're going to apply right over the lipstick to create a lighter, glossier look.
03:09So there you have it. With a few essentials in your makeup bag, you can create a bunch of new
03:14looks.
03:14Let's do it!
03:16Now you live the jewels.
03:18If you remember.
03:18Let's mix the br enam�� suppressant.
