The newest trend is color changing makeup that changes based on your pH level. We wanted to see if this color changing makeup really works, so we tried it out for you!
Transcript
00:00Maybe the more basic you are, maybe the more alkaline you are, not you basic, as in like
00:05acid versus basic.
00:07Milana, are you trying to tell me something?
00:10What's up guys?
00:10I'm Emily.
00:11And I'm Milana.
00:12And this is Test Lab, where we test out the internet's craziest trends so you don't have
00:16to.
00:17Unless we think you should.
00:18Let's get started.
00:19Today, we're testing color or mood changing makeup.
00:22Essentially, it's makeup just based on your pH levels, which sounds amazing.
00:26I'm not actually sure what that means, but Milana, you've used pH makeup before, right?
00:30Yeah, I have.
00:31Basically, it works on the pH levels in your body, whether you're super acidic or alkaline.
00:37Alright, so we have lots of products here.
00:39I haven't tried any of these, but I'm definitely excited.
00:41I'm a huge Smashbox fan.
00:43So I love we have this O Plump Lip Primer with Goji Berries.
00:47And then we also have cool Smashbox O Glow Intuitive Cheek Color.
00:52So we have these two different colors.
00:54Apparently, they go on clear and then kind of transform your face from there based on
00:57your pH levels.
00:58And then we also have this pH match maker, and this is bronzer.
01:02It says it matches a whole range of skin tones and does a whole range of bronzing.
01:07We'll see.
01:08But yeah, we'll test that one out.
01:09And then I'm going to be testing out the Lipstick Queen product.
01:12The first one we have here is Morning Sunshine.
01:14This one comes out yellow.
01:15It scares you a little bit, but then the coral after, if it ends up anything like this right
01:19here, I'm pretty excited.
01:21And then we've got Lipstick Queen's Hello Sailor Lip Gloss.
01:24This one is supposed to start blue and then turn dark.
01:29I love this.
01:29I would love the shade just on its own, but I'm excited to see what it'll look like.
01:33And then we've got the Lipstick Queen Frog Prince Cream Blush.
01:37It's green and then it turns red.
01:38I've actually never been one for a red blush, but maybe if it's custom for me, it'll look
01:42really good.
01:43All right.
01:43So I think I'm ready to get started if you are.
01:45Yeah, I'm ready.
01:45All right.
01:46Let's get our coats.
01:48All right.
01:48So I'm going to start with the bronzer.
01:50I'm going to do the blush.
01:51Sweet.
01:52Oh, it's already changing on my finger a little bit, like when I chew the green.
01:55I'm excited.
01:56Ooh.
01:57All right.
01:59Oh.
02:00Okay.
02:00How's it looking?
02:01Um, very, very pigmented.
02:04I feel like I have the opposite problem.
02:06Like I can't see mine.
02:08Yeah.
02:08But I'm like afraid that if I keep going, it's going to like all of a sudden hit you.
02:13It's going to be too much.
02:13Can you see it?
02:14No.
02:15What I'm not crazy about with this bronzer is it's leaving my skin a little patchy.
02:20But maybe I could see this working for someone if like you like a little more of a natural
02:24bronze.
02:25Mm-hmm.
02:25But not like a full-on bronze.
02:27Like a full-on bronze.
02:28I don't really see that much.
02:29And I feel the same about you.
02:30I feel yours is a bit more glossy than it is with an actual color.
02:32Mm-hmm.
02:32It's like the, it would be good for summer.
02:34Like I feel like it's like a light, cute, like, I'm trying not to do too much, but I
02:38guess here I am.
02:39Okay.
02:39So I'm going to do my Smashbox Lip Plumper.
02:42I guess I'll try the coral, but I'm not sure how coral and dark berry will look together.
02:47Interesting.
02:47Well, we'll find out.
02:48Ooh, this texture is different.
02:49It's like very goofy.
02:51Yes, very sticky.
02:52It's like the MAC really thick gloss, which I love that gloss.
02:56I do love that gloss.
02:58Mm, it's like very minty.
02:59Oh, I'm down for this.
03:01A little tingly.
03:02Ooh, I like that.
03:03This is more pink than coral.
03:05I'm in support of this one.
03:06I like it.
03:06I like this one.
03:07I also love this one.
03:09Hey, we got the nice lips down.
03:11So my last one is this blush, which again, you know I'm not a big blush person, but I'm
03:14excited to try this.
03:15I'm excited to see it.
03:16And your last one is you're layering up the lipstick, right?
03:18Yes.
03:18Okay.
03:19So we'll see how that looks.
03:20All right, so this blush, it goes on clear again.
03:23So it's kind of like the same consistency as the lip gloss.
03:27That's kind of cool.
03:28But it's already getting a little pinker.
03:30Oh.
03:32Oh.
03:32I already don't like it.
03:33I already hate this.
03:34Just blend it out.
03:35See where it goes.
03:36Okay.
03:36This one is also not going to be a winner for me.
03:40It's just not dark.
03:41I don't know if it's like the coral that went on before, but it's just like, I mean,
03:43I don't mind it.
03:44It's like a good texture, but nothing.
03:47I feel like my lip is the same color as before with like a blue sheet, which is-
03:51Exactly.
03:52I don't love that.
03:52Which is kind of nice.
03:53Those two together kind of give me a nice, like a little purpley vibe, but-
03:56Yeah.
03:57I think my winner is going to be this one.
04:00Yeah.
04:01This one's just good.
04:01I think my winner is going to be-
04:03Shocking the lip gloss.
04:04I think I might actually go and get that.
04:06Honestly, I think I might too.
04:08All right, so Milana, what are your final thoughts on beige makeup?
04:11It's fun for a cute little experiment.
04:13Am I going to throw down $50 the next time I go makeup shopping?
04:17No.
04:18It does.
04:18One thing it does do really well is it provides like that natural finish because I guess it
04:22does kind of melt into your skin, but I think it's leaving my skin feeling like a little
04:26gritty, like in a little dirty.
04:27So from like just layering and maybe it's because I layered the two, but also the bronzer
04:32just wasn't the smoothest application.
04:34And not typically how I like to wear my makeup.
04:36So it's good for a more natural look, but again, I think the only thing I'd stick with
04:40would be the lip-blumping gloss.
04:41Yeah.
04:42And it looks great.
04:42Oh, yours does too.
04:43All right, so now we've tested that on our face and we are going to really put it to
04:47the test.
04:48So we have two products here with us today.
04:50One is a lemon and the other is baking soda, and we're going to test these to see if
04:54the pH makeup works on those two things.
04:56Ooh.
04:56Yeah.
04:57It's going to be fun.
04:57I'm going to test out morning sunshine with a lemon to see if the acids in the lemon will
05:02react with the product.
05:03I'm going to do a little swatch test on my arms too, and then combine it with some baking
05:07soda to see if the color actually changes.
05:11I have my lemon, I'm excited.
05:15Nothing has changed.
05:17Nothing's changed at all.
05:19Should you hold it on longer?
05:20All right, so I have my two swatches so far.
05:23So I have my blush here, which is already starting to turn pink, and then I have my gloss here,
05:27which hasn't quite noticed yet.
05:28So what I'm going to do is add a little bit of baking soda to the blush and then to
05:34the
05:34gloss.
05:36Ooh.
05:37And this blush is turning bright pink, so.
05:40Oh, cool.
05:41Yeah, so the blush is really, really, really getting pink, and this gloss is just getting
05:46like a nice tint to it.
05:47Maybe the more alkaline you are, the darker the product is.
05:51I think so.
05:51And maybe the more acidic you are, the lighter it is.
05:54Look at this.
05:55Like, that's pretty dark blush.
05:56That was not what happened when I put it on my face.
05:58Yeah, no.
05:58Not at all.
05:59I want changes.
06:01No.
06:01I mean, I guess it's lighter.
06:02It is lighter.
06:03Yeah, it definitely is a little lighter.
06:04So maybe the theory is right.
06:05Interesting.
06:06Okay, well that's coming to know that it does kind of work.
06:08And that we can change it.
06:09Yeah.
06:09Yeah, okay.
06:10I'm pleased with that.
06:11Me too.
06:11Those are good experiments.
06:12To see that mine had worked.
06:14So I think what Milana and I found today was that pH makeup is cool, but it's not for
06:19us.
06:19No.
06:20But maybe you at home might want to try it out.
06:22Thanks so much for watching this episode of Test Lab, and we'll see you next time.
