00:00Hey guys, this is Mi-Anne and this is Beauty With Me.
00:02I'll do pretty much anything to keep my makeup on, including, but certainly not limited to,
00:09dunking my entire head in a bowl of water, which is a real thing that actually happened
00:16last week.
00:17A few months ago, I discovered the Jamsu method, which is a makeup setting technique that involves
00:22powdering your face a ton and then dunking your head in water for 30 seconds.
00:27Sound appealing?
00:28Not really.
00:29Jamsu, which literally means diving in Korean, started gaining a lot of traction in the States
00:34last year.
00:35The method is supposed to make your makeup resist water, sweat, and humidity.
00:39Oh, and it's also supposed to make it last for 12 hours.
00:42Sign me up.
00:43I'll be honest, it all sounded a little too good to be true, but naturally I had to try
00:47it out.
00:48So, I thought who better to test it out with me than someone who lives and breathes makeup
00:53like myself.
00:54My friend Ashley Vera, who just started her own YouTube channel, came to Refinery29 to
00:59put Jamsu to the test.
01:00I am here with Ashley and we are going to Jamsu powder dive.
01:05How long does your foundation last usually?
01:07Between five to six hours.
01:10Maybe.
01:10Okay, so this is supposed to last for 12 hours, so I'm excited to see how it plays out.
01:16Should we just get into it?
01:18Yeah.
01:18Okay.
01:19Performing Jamsu isn't all that involved.
01:21All you need is a bowl full of water, a lot of baby powder, or setting powder if you'd
01:26rather go that route, a sponge to apply it with, and some tissues.
01:30First things first, we're going to apply our foundation and concealer the way we normally
01:33would.
01:34Okay.
01:34So, let's do it.
01:39Now that our foundation is on, we're going to use concealer, I'm going to use this one
01:42from Too Faced.
01:45Whenever I put on concealer, I always tend to make like an upside down triangle under
01:51my eye.
01:51I just feel like it lifts it.
01:53Yeah, it's kind of like a highlighting skin too, right?
01:55And why are you using a concealer that's like so much lighter than your skin tone?
01:59Um, I don't know, I tend to make the, there's foundation all in my shirt.
02:05God damn it.
02:07Next is the best part.
02:09After we applied our base, aka foundation and concealer, Ashley and I generously powdered
02:14our face in baby powder.
02:16This is sort of like baking.
02:17Yeah.
02:17Yeah.
02:18And do you do that?
02:18I do it for almost every day.
02:20Damn.
02:21That's dedication.
02:22Yeah.
02:23It's pretty much concealing and setting the under of your eye.
02:26It was supposed to resemble a well powdered mochi or powdered donut.
02:31Generally speaking, I was not a huge fan of all the baby powder on my face.
02:35It doesn't smell good.
02:37It made my face look really dry.
02:39It got a little bit in my mouth.
02:40It wasn't all that pleasant, but it was worth it.
02:44So we are all powdered up.
02:45I think that we have no excuses, but to just do it.
02:48Yeah.
02:48All right.
02:4930 seconds on the clock.
02:50Take a deep breath.
02:53Okay.
02:54Ready?
02:55Yeah.
02:56Go.
02:56Go.
03:01Go.
03:03Go.
03:05Go.
03:05I made a huge mess.
03:07I made a huge mess.
03:11My skin didn't look great post-dive.
03:13It was blotchy and powdery and dry, but I pressed on.
03:18I've been told that it's supposed to end up looking more natural as you wear it.
03:24As the day goes by.
03:24Yeah.
03:25Because I think your natural oils kind of seep through and it like
03:28Look a little better, but I think we should just go in with the rest of our makeup, right? Yeah
03:32Let's do the rest don't make it without it. So I'm gonna go in with bronzer first cover girl same
03:39Oh nice, I feel like that anything we put on our face now. That's powder is gonna go on really
03:44smoothly
03:50So with all of my makeup on it actually doesn't look as weird
03:54It's still pretty powdery though
03:56Especially around the nose after we finished putting on the rest of our makeup Ashley and I decided to test
04:01out the method for the next
04:0312 hours check it out check it out
04:07In the vlogs right here
04:11My makeup is actually looking
04:15Really good. It's a little bit dry in some areas if you can see here
04:20But overall like from afar my face looks like someone asked me if I had my face airbrushed earlier
04:26So I feel the makeup is holding up very well
04:29I don't feel as oily and I don't see much of the powder anymore. I like it so far
04:37Hey guys, I'm back from work. It's about 7. I'm here spending some quality time with my kitty
04:42The makeup is holding up pretty well. I went to an event with La Prairie after work
04:48and
04:49It looked pretty flawless that whole time
04:52I have not had to blot my face at all today, which is
04:56Really weird because I usually blot my face like four or five times a day
05:00I don't feel as oily still
05:02I mean my lipstick has wore off and everything but usually I would be really oily in the t-zone
05:10Over here and I'm not
05:12I just really want to take my makeup off. I usually don't wear it this late
05:15But as you can see the makeup actually has held up really well
05:19I think that putting the powder on my face actually made my bronze like my contour products stay on
05:26Way longer than they usually do the dryness around my nose
05:31It's definitely still there if you look closely as you can see my makeup still looks the same and I
05:38love it
05:38I would definitely recommend it for anyone who has the time to actually
05:43Do the process
05:46I
05:47Was really surprised that my makeup looked that good for 12 hours that being said Jamsu
05:53Was very messy. I can't say that I would do it again just because I
06:00Just would rather use setting powder or setting spray or primer, but it was still a very good experience
06:05Ashley loved it. She would use do it. Definitely do it again
06:09I don't know if I would
