  • Like daily suntan lotion protects your face.

  • I mean, have you seen me? Im the color of a sheet

  • Yes, this is indeed an incredibly thick

  • 50 SPF suntan lotion,

  • that normally one would put on the body,

  • and yes, I do put it on my face.

  • That was too much.

  • It's fine, I'll put it elsewhere on my person.

  • I just love using incredibly thick suntan lotion

  • as a primer, because I think it just does

  • good things to my skin.

  • And also my makeup just looks delightful

  • and really does stay in place.

  • Next up, foundation, and before I go any further,

  • I should also menton the fact that,

  • I know some of the brands I used are not cruelty-free,

  • it's MAC, I'm looking at you.

  • However I am transitioning all of my makeup

  • to being cruelty-free brands, because I have allergies,

  • and life is fun that way.

  • I basically have to make sure

  • that I don't put anything on my face

  • that will cause it to become bright red and bleeding a bit.

  • Allergies, they're fun.

  • If you also have eczema or skin

  • that really readily reacts to things,

  • please do leave me brand names down below

  • of things that you use and you found to be really helpful,

  • because I could really use the advice.

  • I have a slight issue when it comes to foundation,

  • that you may have realized just by looking at me,

  • which is that, my hands and my neck

  • are in no way the same color.

  • I love when people do the little patch test thing

  • on the hand of foundation and they're like,

  • yeah. Yeah, that matches.

  • Have you seen this?

  • Yes, my neck is rather yellow

  • and my hands are quite pinkish, as is my face.

  • It's 'cause I have thing called PoTS,

  • it's a condition where your blood just doesn't work,

  • you can find out more actual explanation in the card above.

  • So I take some kind of yellowy foundation,

  • and add in a bit of pink concealer

  • to attempt to make the shade of me.

  • For a really vintage look,

  • we're gonna go for a very full coverage.

  • You don't want anything, no tiny blemishes, no freckles,

  • although freckles actually can be quite cute and vintage.

  • Anyway, I don't have freckles to make cute.

  • (pleasant music)

  • And voila, I know, it looks slightly lighter,

  • because there is a massive light shining in my face.

  • But I promise you, it does genuinely match my neck.

  • So there you go, and remember, compare your face

  • to your neck, not your hands,

  • just like before you sign any new contract,

  • you should always use comparison websites.

  • Money saving tip, see, I told you so.

  • Time for concealer, because my face

  • wasn't pale enough as it was.

  • And it's also time to ask, what could you be concealing?

  • Is it your tax returns, if so, uh-oh,

  • time to get an accountant.

  • At the beginning it is very easy to file

  • your own tax returns, but as you continue,

  • oh gosh, do you need someone professional.

  • It may seem like an unnecessary expense,

  • but it really does help in the long run.

  • You don't want to get taken to court.

  • (pleasant lighthearted music)

  • All right, eye primer, now, if you like me,

  • have eyelids that go somewhere when you open our eyes,

  • I mean, can you see my eyelids, I can't.

  • They're not there.

  • Then you'll probably have also tried

  • every single eye primer under the sun,

  • and found that they don't.

  • The only thing that I found that works for my eyes,

  • is to use concealer and eye shadow,

  • but you have to put it on when the concealer's wet.

  • But this means I get to open, the Sleeping Beauty Palette.

  • [fairy dust sfx]

  • Based on the book that appears

  • in the original "Sleeping Beauty" film,

  • which apparently is huge and this is like

  • a teeny, tiny, version.

  • And there we go, I now apparently have the color

  • of Princess Aurora's legs on my eye.

  • You know what else has legs, the make-do and mend attitude.

  • Sometimes, it can actually be cheaper

  • to have your clothes altered or fixed by a tailor,

  • than it can to just actually buy new clothes.

  • Time for eyebrows, and oh yeah, I've got this far

  • without mentioning them, yeah, these are my eyebrows,

  • this is how they grow, I don't even pluck them,

  • it's just a, they just started falling out.

  • [music]

  • Vintage eyebrows are generally very thin,

  • quite, is full the word?

  • They don't tend to have gaps, that's full, right?

  • Yah, and always with a lovely arch, which...

  • We'll get to.

  • (bright bubbly music)

  • Yeah, that's as much at they grow,

  • so let's fake some niceness shall we.

  • I would advise that you follow your own brow bone,

  • but as my wife pointed out

  • in that wife does my makeup video,

  • you don't have a brow bone, it's just mushy really.

  • So I just go with, whatever shape I'm making that day.

  • I try and make it look the same.

  • I'm a big fan of the eyebrow pencil.

  • Both because it just sort of screams vintage to me,

  • but also because I don't have to learn

  • how to do that modern thing with the brush and the fade

  • and the front and you know.

  • Nic and easy, is how I like to keep my makeup.

  • You know what's nice and easy, using this eyebrow pencil.

  • You know what else is easy?

  • Making a free appointment with your bank

  • to discuss how to raise your credit score.

  • In some countries, England, getting a credit card,

  • buying some stuff and paying it off fairly quickly,

  • raises your credit score.

  • However, in other countries apparently

  • that's not a good thing to do.

  • Basically, don't read any advice online.

  • Irony.

  • Go to your bank because they actually know stuff shockingly.

  • Back to eyeshadow and I've decided to go with,

  • wait, where are her eyebrows?

  • Brows, Dust 107.

  • Wait, I changed my mind, I then swatched the White 107

  • and decided that actually, that's really gorgeous,

  • it's the skirt of her peasant costume.

  • Thanks to my lovely little monolids,

  • I find that the easiest way to put eyeshadow on

  • in a very precise, quite vintagey way,

  • is to use a very small angled brush first,

  • and then a better blending brush to blend it out.

  • You want to concentrate most of your shadow

  • on the outer eye.

  • And then with the delightfully fluffy blending brush,

  • just blend that all out.

  • [music]

  • Alright, we're then gonna put even more

  • eyeshadow on my face.

  • This time from this lovely Sleek palette

  • that I have used quite a lot.

  • And as you can see this is my favorite.

  • Gonna be very careful, precise, neat and blend afterwards.

  • Using an arch as we go up.

  • Trying to find the kind of natural curve of your eyeball.

  • Don't worry if it looks really really messy, life is messy.

  • Life lessons with Jessica, it's going well.

  • All right, now we've outlined our eyeballs, time to blend.

  • (bright lively music)

  • Moving onto eyeliner, the only one I have found

  • that is really actually waterproof enough

  • to stick to my eyelids.

  • So this is really fun,

  • because I'm very blind in my left eye.

  • So I have to be able to see over my nose

  • with just my right eye, and it's a big nose.

  • You know what else is a big no?

  • Having a really drafty house,

  • because it's terrible for your energy bills.

  • You can buy really cheap insulation kits online,

  • you don't have to replace your entire window,

  • it's a really cost effective way of keeping down the price.

  • Moving on to mascara, this one is a real favorite of mine,

  • because the wand bends and that just makes it

  • so much easier, in my mind, to use.

  • All right, eyes done, time to move on

  • to that little rosy glow that your cheeks can give you.

  • [music]

  • So after I've blushed under the apple of my cheekbone,

  • I then tend to push down with a lighter powder on top of it,

  • just to give it a nice little blend,

  • so we have no sharp lines.

  • Yeah, I'm just bashing myself in the face, I know, I know.

  • You know what else will bash you in the face,

  • the tax man.

  • If you're self-employed,

  • remember to have a separate bank account for your tax money.

  • And just put 1/3 of all of your earnings in there.

  • And don't touch it ever, ever, ever, ever,

  • ever, ever, ever, ever.

  • Unless there's an impending zombie apocalypse,

  • in which case, money means nothing anymore.

  • Onto bronzer, I actually use just a little bit

  • around the hairline,

  • because it makes the rest of my face glow quite nicely.

  • My angled brush, just sticking the tip in there.

  • [music]

  • Now finally my favorite thing, lipstick.

  • I am utterly obsessed with Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour.

  • And this new Matte Ink version.

  • Why did I not know this existed before, it's just,

  • you put it on your lips, it's so easy to apply,

  • because you know, wand.

  • And it genuinely just stays there no matter what.

  • I really had to try hard at getting it

  • off my lips last night for about 10 minutes.

  • You know wat else we should try hard at?

  • Talking to others about finances, difficult, I know.

  • But our friends and family

  • can sometimes have really great tips.

  • All right.

  • (bright bubbly music)

  • Ta-da, the finished look.

  • [fairy dust sfx]

  • There you go.

  • Here is my everyday vintage makeup.

  • (bright bubbly music)

  • It's the makeup I wear everyday as I work from home,

  • so I guess that makes it my business look.

  • I hope you've enjoyed this video

  • and my sort of financial tips.

  • Most important thing though,

  • is to not just read things online or watch videos.

  • But to actually speak to an expert about money.

  • I'm not a money guru or a beauty guru,

  • I just wanted to make this video for fun.

  • And to give me an excuse to play with this makeup.

  • Also I'm just trying to help,

  • because really sadly, we live in a society

  • where things are very unequal,

  • 2/3 of my generation will never own a home,

  • that's mind blowing.

  • I'll see you in my next video, mwha

  • Let's see if I can remember that

  • I have really bad memory loss by the way

  • This is why I have to get fed lines

  • Um.... what did I say?

  • That was too much, hang on

  • It's fine

  • Let's go a bit closer

  • Really close now, aren't we?

Hello, lovely people.
