  • Hey everyone! This is my boyfriend, Ben, as many of you guys know

  • and today he'll be doing my makeup!

  • I don't know what any of this stuff is!

  • I laid out the bare minimum, but did you do any research at all?

  • I looked at Si and Soph's, but it's tough because Si also doesn't know what's doing

  • so it's like the blind leading the blind.

  • Their video was really funny. You can watch it here if you haven't already

  • Let's just go ahead and get started! Let's do this.

  • Right! So first up I am going to do primer.

  • This is where Si helped me out because I had no idea what primer was before

  • so we're gonna go with this. - Yep!

  • Ooh, that's quite thick.

  • I really thought it'd just be like a moisturizer.

  • Alright I'm just gonna put this- - Wow, that's a lotta primer

  • I don't know if I'm supposed- - Oh! Did you wash your hands?

  • - Yep. - Okay. With soap? - Yep!

  • You had that headband thing, didn't you?

  • We were looking at photos the other day.

  • It's so ridiculous. - Put it up here!

  • Me and Stephanie just wore this randomly in San Francisco

  • I don't remember what you were wearing. Probably wearing this?

  • - Probably something black.

  • I am gonna go with the concealer. It's not quite foundation yet.

  • I think this is one that you do under your eyes. There we go.

  • A little bit up there maybe?

  • A little bit on the nose? Probably don't need to do that.

  • Conceal it on the nose.

  • You use this guy quite a lot, right? - I do! It's my favorite guy.

  • What's it called? Lil blob sponge?

  • Blob sponge?!

  • That's what it should be called actually! - Just blob it on!

  • It's called the Beautyblender. - Beautyblender. That is probably a better name for this

  • The things I miss from England: Obviously friends and family and stuff

  • but the main thing is actually Heinz Baked Beans

  • If you don't know what it is, it's because this country for some reason just doesn't sell it

  • I don't get it because they're the best things in the world.

  • I know! Our beans are really sweet, like the BBQ beans? It's like candy and I never liked it

  • So now that the concealer has been concealed, we will go for foundation.

  • You're off to a really good start!

  • I'm just worried about all the intricate parts with the eyes and stuff.

  • Ahh, using my little technique?

  • The only way I know how to do this is just because whenever you're doing makeup I see her in different stages, and this is one of them.

  • "Can you please pass the water?" *in a bad English accent*

  • "C'mon! I wanna water?!" *in a bad American accent*

  • So I think that's good! Lock it down with a powder.

  • I'm using Rimmel London Stay Matte.

  • Is this the one you use? The big brush?

  • I mean it looks the same if you kinda, y'know?

  • So me and Stephanie are gonna be Ken and Ryu from Street Fighter.

  • I got this like red child-sized karate suit, so I'm excited.

  • I'm going as Eleven, if you haven't seen Stranger Things a lot of people say I look like her

  • Bear in mind, it's a 12 year old girl.

  • It looks nice!

  • Next up we will go for the eyebrows!

  • Precisely My Brow Pencil

  • It's like a rocket. What's this side? - Oooooh!

  • Now that just got a whole lot more confusing.

  • For us it's really eating is the main thing, isn't it?

  • Eating is our number one top activity.

  • - I think Cinespia. Seeing a film in the park. - I know! It's so nice! - Having a picnic.

  • It's so fun to have our little picnic basket. We really got a lot of us outta that!

  • We love our picnics! Just being outdoors and eating.

  • Yeah! We're quite outdoorsy as well. We like hikes and doing things like that

  • but we like staying in. We kinda like anything really.

  • But remember that time we accidentally hiked 15 miles?

  • - Oh god! Sorry about that. - It was in Orange County somewhere.

  • Yeah, we went to Anaheim Packing House for some lunch and we decided to go for a little 3 mile hike.

  • We looked it up.

  • We had our jeans on, y' know? We didn't have our hiking attire.

  • I had my heeled boots. I didn't think I was gonna go on a journey.

  • Almost towards the end, there was a junction where you had to go left or right.

  • And for some reason. You know what it's like when you're convinced you're right

  • And I was convinced I was right and guess who was correct?

  • We're not one of those couples that are like, "No, I'm right." It was one of those

  • I was like, "Look babe, I really think I'm right." and I believed it.

  • And I was like, "Well I'm sure it's this way, but we'll go your way."

  • It was crazy. It was a very smug hike because I was like, "I told you so..."

  • but it was just a really long "I told you so." because we had to walk

  • We went the wrong way and from a 3-mile hike turned into a 10 mile hike.

  • I mean I was pretty much sold from the first conversation.

  • We were at a bar in San Francisco. - It was very chill.

  • It was like a dive bar with some friends.

  • We got on well. We were chatting. It wasn't anything too crazy.

  • Yeah! It wasn't romantic at all.

  • It was a casual get together.

  • You know when you know. I was talking and I was like,

  • "There's something about this girl" and ironically I flew back to England the day after or something

  • and as we landed I tweeted you saying, "Good hangs, Jen."

  • - with one "N" - With one "N"

  • But it still worked! Somehow still worked.

  • He slid into my DMs after that.

  • You can spend hours doing this because I have a feeling I actually might be spending hours doing this.

  • Yeah! You've been on the brows for a bit.

  • That'll do for now.

  • So now I'm going to start with some eyeshadow - Yeppers!

  • so I need a little brush.

  • That's my favorite brush!

  • This is the hard part cos you got loads of palettes

  • Estee Edit by Estee Lauder.

  • What kinda makeup are you gonna give me? Like where am I going?

  • So I'm gonna go for more of a nightclub kinda - Nightclub?!

  • Well so you don't have to see all the smudges. We'll go for a slightly smokey vibe.

  • Okay! Sounds good.

  • Alright eyes closed please.

  • Every now and again, you'll get like a jacket or something.

  • It'll be like pink fluffy things with this crazy stuff and I'll be like, "Oh, I don't like that."

  • but then you'll put on like a nice hat, different bottoms and I'll be like, "How'd you make that work?"

  • I can't really think of anything I don't like.

  • I feel like Ben and I have quite similar fashion taste. - Yeah.

  • I feel like there are certain combinations that just aren't quite right

  • and I like Ben's second opinion about it. - Yeah, you do ask me!

  • Like remember when I tried to make the plaid pants with the distressed sweater work

  • and you were like, "It's just a bad fit."

  • I love you because you don't judge what I wear at all. You're the most open minded person.

  • I'm gonna intensify the eyeshadow with Lorac Pro. Oh, there's loads of options!

  • So I wanna go for like a darker one Not too bad.

  • I'm just gonna smoke out the edges here.

  • - I kinda wanna fly. - Fly?!

  • Especially in Downtown and fly around the buildings.

  • I just feel like you'd be breathing in so much of the smog.

  • I don't think you're gonna be that bothered if you're flying.

  • - Oh! Pollution!

  • I think for my power, I'm just gonna stick with my very old answer

  • of just being able to persuade people. Have you guys seen Heroes?

  • Well there's like this one character where her power was no matter what she said the other person just believed it.

  • So she'd get out of parking tickets. She could rob people.

  • Be like, "Give me all your money." "Okay!"

  • - So you wanna have superpowers you can rob people. - No no! I'm not gonna rob anyone!

  • But you know to have that much influence would be really cool

  • For the better!

  • Be like, "This is not something you should do." "Stop this war!"

  • "Give me loads of food!" "Alright!"

  • You know what everyone is like in this day and age.

  • "You should do this..." and before they've even ask the question, they're like, "No!"

  • "No, I don't believe in that. I'm gonna write about it on Twitter."

  • So here we have Tattoo Liner Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner

  • Wow! This is very precise.

  • You usually do quite a bit of a cat eye. - Yes!

  • So I'm gonna try attempt that!

  • - We gotta get close! - Right, here we go.

  • - Alright gonna caress you there.

  • - Starting strong. - It feels like you're doing a good job.

  • Mine's probably Bestia.

  • It's a great Italian restaurant in the Arts District. It's just unbelievable.

  • The wait is so long, but the key is to just get there at 5:30, right when it opens and then you'll get a table no problem.

  • We actually like eating early, don't we? - That's true.

  • We're like an old couple already where we can easily have dinner at 5PM.

  • Everytime someone wants to grab dinner and it's after 7, I'm like, "What?!"

  • Sometimes we'll go out for dinner after we've had dinner.

  • We'll have dinner at 6 and at 8, they'll be like, "Wanna grab dinner?"

  • and we'll be like, "I guess we can eat again." Dinner #2!

  • I like your method of wiping the edges. That's really smart.

  • I had to do that because it was starting to get quite bad.

  • So now you have to recreate it on this eye.

  • I'm trying to think of what my favorite restaurant is.

  • It always changes. I have different phases like I love Kazu Nori, but I just like to PostMates it.

  • You haven't had a hand roll until you've been to Kazu Nori.

  • Well maybe if you go to Japan there's probably better handrolls, but in LA, it'll do.

  • I just don't know how far this eyeliner is supposed to go. It doesn't look right.

  • I'm just gonna blend it in with a blending brush again

  • Lovely. Look at that. Right, that'll do for now.

  • Because I'm just gonna make them worse. - We gotta move on! - We have to move on.

  • Do you wanna do some fake lashes? or should I do mascara and this guy?

  • Let's do this guy.

  • - Okay. Are you.. - I feel good about this. - Please don't... really?

  • Alright, ready?

  • My lashes aren't that long. - I have got you. Don't worry.

  • This is where you see the real trust in the relationship.

  • I don't like the way you're holding it.

  • I feel like you don't know how far my face is. - It's okay. Come here.

  • Ahh!

  • Just have faith. Close your eyes. This is supposed to be nice-

  • AHH! I can't do this.

  • Fake lashes? - Yeah, let's just do fake lashes. I can't do it.

  • This is not as scary as the eyelash curler.

  • My eyes just feel really sticky.

  • So the eyes are kinda done. I'm gonna go for highlighter.

  • I say cheeky about everything, right? - Yeah, it's like a cheeky lil drink. A cheeky lil dance.

  • Just gonna go for a cheeky bit of lunch.

  • It just works and it's just fun to say. - Cheeki!

  • I've done the highlighter. Your face looks nice and highlighted.

  • Obviously it is like having a kid, isn't it? Like wake up in the morning to take turns and do shifts

  • to make sure she's been fed - Cleaning up her poop

  • And we are gonna end with the bronzer!

  • Carve those cheekbones.

  • Next up we have the lips.

  • Alright, remember do the - Ehhh!

  • And after this, we're almost done, right?

  • This is the final step!

  • I think I'm happy with that-ish.

  • Okay, let's see what it looks like on camera.

  • Alright! This is the finished look!

  • Yeah! What do you guys think?

  • Oh wow! The highlighter is really poppin!

  • Yeah, I think I put a quite a lot on.

  • So this is the finished look!

  • What do you guys think? Did he do a good job? Yes? No?

  • I feel like the knowledge was there, but the technique could use some work.

  • I wish we had some goes to practice. Maybe we'll do a part 2 after I do some practicing.

  • Oh my god. Watch, he's gonna be a makeup pro next time.
