Beauty Boot Camp: Makeup from Desk to Date Video

So, Christine, what I'm gonna do is take your natural look that you've come to me in which is straight from the office and I'm gonna show you in 3 simple, simple applications as far as eyes, cheeks and lips, how I can take your look right now from natural into a look that's gonna be totally ready to wear evening, going out with your boyfriend, girlfriends, dancing, nightclub, that kind of thing. So what I'm gonna use here is black, scary black but I think it will look amazing on you. And just close your eyes. Now what we wanna do is just around your eye area start incorporating. Like I said, if you see my finger wiping off and smudging, that's totally fine. You wanna be able to do that. I'm getting rid of the residue. You look straight up. Great. What I'm doing is I'm basically brushing and putting it on. But with makeup, one of the greatest tips I've ever learned is don't be afraid to put more because you can totally wipe it off. This actually is a powder that is going to turn--look up--to almost a basic sort of wet eye look that's sort of Christina Aguilera, pop-icon-smoky-Britney-Spears feel which is great when you go to a club. You wanna feel like your eyes are standing out but you wanna get there quickly.

How do you know when to use a shimmer and when to use a matte eyeshadow?

I think the best way is personal taste. So if you're a young girl, shimmer is great. But if you're an older woman, I think--look up-- shimmer needs to be at the right places, so maybe shimmery blush is great as opposed to shimmery eyeshadow. And then on top of that, if you wanted to add a little bit of black eyeliner because it's that funky time of year, you can totally just quickly with a pencil pop that into the corners of your eye like this and that just gives it like a hot, sexy look. I think one of the things about blush is what color to wear, which tone to wear. In this case, what I'm gonna do--I like your pale complexion--I'm just gonna incorporate some rose on the centers of your apple just to brighten you up. That also has a little bit of a luminous sheen to it. It does have a pearlizer in this blush. So you get color and you also will get a sheen to it. And then on your lips, I was thinking that perhaps we'd go for something in a lip gloss but at the same time, it's a modern color and it's a hot fuchsia pink. It doesn't give you a thick, heavy coverage. But what it does do is totally revamp your lip look in the sense that you now have a sheen to it. On top of that, you now have a really modern bright color. And basically in 3 steps, we went from lip stain, lip gloss, a rosy pink cheek and then finally the black smoky eye with a little bit of eye pencil. How do you think that is gonna look? I think you're gonna look pretty damn sexy.

Thank you.
