  • (upbeat music)

  • - Hey everybody, it's your girl Jenn,

  • and today I'll be showing you

  • how I did this yellow eyeshadow look.

  • This has been highly requested and very long awaited,

  • so thank you so much for your patience.

  • Last month was really, really crazy.

  • I finally had a moment to just sit down,

  • and just chat and show you guys how I did this.

  • Since it's back-to-school season,

  • I thought I would just grab a bunch of questions

  • about college on my Instagram,

  • and you know, chat about it,

  • because this is a really exciting,

  • but also scary time for a lot of you.

  • So I thought I would put my two cents in,

  • and also show you how I did this.

  • So let's get started!

  • I am gonna hydrate my lips first,

  • by using Glossier's Mint Balm Dotcom universal skin salve.

  • I've used all their formulas,

  • but the mint one is by far my favorite.

  • It has like, this nice cooling sensation,

  • similar to Burt's Bees.

  • But the packaging is just so much cuter.

  • Now I'm gonna move on to primer.

  • I'm using this one by Too Faced.

  • It is their Hangover Rx.

  • And this one is probably one of the most nourishing primers

  • that I've ever used.

  • Before, I was just really on the ball

  • with anything that was like, mattifying

  • and stuff that didn't make me oily,

  • but these days,

  • I've just been enjoying like, a nice dewy look.

  • It just looks youthful and in Korea,

  • you know they like that dewy face,

  • so that's just the card I've been playing. (laughs)

  • Ah, okay so primer is finished.

  • Now I am just gonna skip foundation completely,

  • and I'm just gonna go directly to concealer.

  • I'm using this concealer, this is by Hourglass.

  • And it is a stick.

  • And I'm just going to put it underneath my eyes.

  • Right over here, wow.

  • And then I put it around my nose.

  • A little on my forehead.

  • And then on my chin.

  • So basically, all the dark areas of my face.

  • And while I'm blending,

  • I might as well get cracking with the questions.

  • (laughs) I've just been getting carried away

  • with the makeup.

  • So this is from korleyan.

  • "How was community college compared to a university?

  • "And if any differences or similarities between the two?

  • "Love you!"

  • First off, community college kind of feels like high school,

  • the sequel. (laughs)

  • You're gonna know a lot of people there from your school,

  • but there's also a new flush of people.

  • Honestly, looking back,

  • I'm so happy that I went to community college,

  • because just the amount of money I saved from tuition

  • is just, like, unbelievable.

  • I was able to just take my time,

  • and figure out what I wanted to do.

  • I was not the best student growing up.

  • I was always just a very average student,

  • and in the eyes of, you know, a Korean family,

  • if it wasn't straight A's, it wasn't good enough.

  • And I definitely never, ever got straight A's.

  • I think I was really in my head when I was going to school.

  • I was just so focused on trying to get the good grade

  • and memorizing everything,

  • that that anxiety and that pressure actually crippled me,

  • and once I stopped caring about what grade I got,

  • that's when I started getting good grades. (laughs)

  • That was my senior year of college.

  • Because I went to community college,

  • I was able to really figure out what I wanted to do.

  • Obviously, math was not an option for me.

  • I do not understand how to crunch numbers.

  • Writing, I was horrible at.

  • Science, a mystery! (laughs)

  • And I finally went to my counselor, and I was like,

  • I really don't know what I wanna do.

  • And she said, well what do you like doing?

  • And I told her that I liked going out,

  • I liked meeting people, I liked socializing,

  • and she told me of this major called Communications!

  • But I was able to take all the units I needed

  • to be able to transfer.

  • And once I did transfer, it was just a whole new world.

  • I never lived away from home before,

  • so I got accepted to UC Davis and UC San Diego.

  • And I was pretty torn,

  • because as much as I wanted to go to UC San Diego,

  • I wanted to just get the hell out of southern California.

  • I was over it.

  • I wanted to just start completely fresh,

  • and just be the new girl at school for once,

  • because growing up, my parents never moved, which is great,

  • because I never had to feel displaced or anything,

  • but you know, when you watch those movies,

  • and it always starts off with like,

  • ah, the new kid at school.

  • Who is she?

  • So I don't know,

  • I just wanted to basically get out of my hometown

  • and just start completely fresh.

  • And San Diego is only two hours away,

  • but I wanted to be far.

  • I wanted people to have to go on a road trip

  • or a plane to go see me. (laughs)

  • If I had to say a difference,

  • whether like the classes were better

  • or the professors were better at community college

  • or UC Davis, I would say it's pretty comparable.

  • I mean, it's really what you make of it.

  • You can go to the best Ivy League school,

  • but if you're not there to absorb,

  • then there's really no point.

  • And I also would like to say that what school you go to

  • does not define you at all.

  • Maybe I'll do another layer. (laughs)

  • It's so funny, the day I'm like,

  • I'm not gonna wear foundation,

  • I'm like, it's not covered enough.

  • Alright guys, I think that is blended.

  • I'm just like punching myself

  • with this beauty blender. (laughs)

  • So the concealer is all blended out.

  • And now I'm gonna seal that with a powder.

  • I'm going back to an old favorite of mine.

  • This is the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder.

  • Look how old this is.

  • I should have probably gotten a new one,

  • but you know, this will do.

  • I'm gonna grab this flat brush by Marc Jacobs,

  • and I'm just gonna scrape what is left of this guy,

  • and I'm going to put it underneath my eyes

  • just to set everything.

  • As you can see, I'm grabbing this,

  • and I'm just literally patting it,

  • no swirling, just patting,

  • because I don't wanna ruin

  • the good thing we've got going down here.

  • So now that powder is done, I'm gonna move onto the brows.

  • Here I'm using two products.

  • First I'm gonna use Dior's Brow Styler.

  • I've mentioned this a million times before,

  • but this is just a great pencil for the meat of my brows.

  • It's like a nice color shade.

  • And then for the tails,

  • I go in with Benefit's Goof Proof Brow Pencil.

  • This is a darker color, so it just really defines the tails.

  • I like my tails to be the darkest part of the brow.

  • "How did it feel when you moved to UC Davis

  • "as a transfer student?

  • "Did you have trouble making good friends

  • "since people already knew each other?

  • "Did you feel left out at all?

  • "Did you join any clubs?

  • "I'm transferring from a community college next year,

  • "so I'm super nervous about that.

  • "Thank you!"

  • Being a transfer student was definitely really hard,

  • because yeah, everybody already has their friends.

  • They have their established cliques already,

  • and going in as a transfer student,

  • I was starting completely from scratch.

  • And I made sure to use the internet

  • (laughs) to help me find some friends.

  • So when I was trying to find housing,
