Speaker 2: Aaron, what do you have for us today?

13
00:00:46,825 --> 00:00:50,945
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Okay, I have a powder puff hack

14
00:00:51,105 --> 00:00:55,545
Speaker 1: that promises to apply foundation better than your beauty blender

15
00:00:55,945 --> 00:00:59,825
Speaker 1: or your makeup rush. I believed you, well, I'll tell you.

16
00:01:00,185 --> 00:01:02,745
Speaker 1: I will prove you wrong. Maybe what you have.

17
00:01:02,825 --> 00:01:05,545
Speaker 2: What I have is I have a hack that tells

18
00:01:05,585 --> 00:01:07,425
Speaker 2: you what type of skin type you are. So if

19
00:01:07,425 --> 00:01:10,545
Speaker 2: you're not sure, if you're like oily dry a combination,

20
00:01:10,785 --> 00:01:12,625
Speaker 2: I've got a hack that tells you exactly what type

21
00:01:12,665 --> 00:01:14,905
Speaker 2: of skin type you are in thirty minutes.

22
00:01:15,265 --> 00:01:20,745
Speaker 1: Testing, testing one to three, get it work. This is

23
00:01:20,745 --> 00:01:22,825
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about as a powder puff.

24
00:01:23,105 --> 00:01:24,785
Speaker 2: So I do like what my nanna uses.

25
00:01:24,865 --> 00:01:26,945
Speaker 1: Okay, so they're coming back in a big way. They're

26
00:01:26,985 --> 00:01:30,865
Speaker 1: all over TikTok. I have just the manny caare powder puff.

27
00:01:30,905 --> 00:01:32,625
Speaker 1: You can pick them up at the chemist or you

28
00:01:32,665 --> 00:01:34,865
Speaker 1: can get them in like fancy versions in like Mecca

29
00:01:34,865 --> 00:01:39,785
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. I saw this on Instagram, but

30
00:01:39,905 --> 00:01:42,945
Speaker 1: it is doing the rounds everywhere. I've brought my foundation

31
00:01:43,065 --> 00:01:45,705
Speaker 1: as well to kind of just show this. It's like

32
00:01:45,745 --> 00:01:48,905
Speaker 1: an egg polite society more than a pretty face. So

33
00:01:48,945 --> 00:01:51,465
Speaker 1: that's a kind of new formulas from Mecca. Anyway, this

34
00:01:51,585 --> 00:01:54,585
Speaker 1: is so that's not there. There's another one. I firstly

35
00:01:54,705 --> 00:01:57,785
Speaker 1: saw it on Instagram a content creator. She's a beauty

36
00:01:57,785 --> 00:02:02,145
Speaker 1: content creator named Stephanie Valentine. She posted this hack and

37
00:02:02,225 --> 00:02:05,585
Speaker 1: said that she's applied a full face of makeup in

38
00:02:05,665 --> 00:02:09,585
Speaker 1: thirty three seconds using a powder puff and talked about

39
00:02:09,785 --> 00:02:13,505
Speaker 1: how it looks so much more flawless and thirty seconds

40
00:02:13,545 --> 00:02:15,865
Speaker 1: thirty three seconds. So that caught my eye and I

41
00:02:15,905 --> 00:02:18,425
Speaker 1: was like, okay, weird, I'll give it a go. So

42
00:02:18,865 --> 00:02:21,385
Speaker 1: I did. I've also brought my meal because I want

43
00:02:21,425 --> 00:02:24,345
Speaker 1: to prove to you how different this is. Let me

44
00:02:24,425 --> 00:02:26,905
Speaker 1: just give you the rundown then, okay, all you basically

45
00:02:26,945 --> 00:02:31,705
Speaker 1: do is use your powder puff and pat it into

46
00:02:31,745 --> 00:02:33,585
Speaker 1: your face. You don't want to drag it because you

47
00:02:33,625 --> 00:02:36,065
Speaker 1: will end up with streets, but you kind of just

48
00:02:36,145 --> 00:02:38,985
Speaker 1: bounce it into your skin. The reason this is so

49
00:02:39,185 --> 00:02:43,065
Speaker 1: good is because your general beauty sponge, which I always use,

50
00:02:43,345 --> 00:02:46,225
Speaker 1: obviously eats up so much of your foundation, and if

51
00:02:46,265 --> 00:02:50,465
Speaker 1: you've got a really expensive foundation, I swear it lasts.

52
00:02:50,425 --> 00:02:52,865
Speaker 2: Like all these foundations in there, it's all in I

53
00:02:52,945 --> 00:02:55,305
Speaker 2: use a brush, so I use a foundation brush.

54
00:02:55,545 --> 00:02:57,745
Speaker 1: So I sometimes use a brush, but then I always

55
00:02:57,785 --> 00:03:00,745
Speaker 1: find that it leaves those strutch marks obviously, so then

56
00:03:00,785 --> 00:03:02,985
Speaker 1: I go ahead and then I use my blender, and

57
00:03:03,025 --> 00:03:05,105
Speaker 1: that kind of takes longer than it should. So I

58
00:03:05,185 --> 00:03:06,625
Speaker 1: was really keen to see if this works.

59
00:03:06,665 --> 00:03:09,625
Speaker 2: I would assume the path would like take longer because

60
00:03:09,825 --> 00:03:11,105
Speaker 2: you're padding so much.

61
00:03:11,265 --> 00:03:15,345
Speaker 1: Well, it actually doesn't because the texture of it's kind

62
00:03:15,345 --> 00:03:18,425
Speaker 1: of velvet, so it doesn't absorb all of the foundations,

63
00:03:18,465 --> 00:03:21,065
Speaker 1: so the foundation's kind of just sitting on top. So

64
00:03:21,105 --> 00:03:23,745
Speaker 1: when you're pressing it into your skin, not only does

65
00:03:23,865 --> 00:03:27,225
Speaker 1: it not eat up all your foundation, but it also

66
00:03:27,545 --> 00:03:31,305
Speaker 1: applies more of like a maximum coverage, I suppose, so

67
00:03:31,865 --> 00:03:33,425
Speaker 1: you know when you get your beauty blend and you

68
00:03:33,505 --> 00:03:36,585
Speaker 1: have to like rinse it. Usually use it damp. When

69
00:03:36,585 --> 00:03:39,105
Speaker 1: I've been struggling with breakouts, which i have for the

70
00:03:39,145 --> 00:03:42,345
Speaker 1: past couple of weeks, especially around my chin area, I

71
00:03:42,385 --> 00:03:45,145
Speaker 1: find that my usual way of using a beauty blender

72
00:03:45,185 --> 00:03:47,985
Speaker 1: and running it underwater, having it damp and then you know,

73
00:03:48,065 --> 00:03:50,825
Speaker 1: bouncing it into my face, the makeup is just not

74
00:03:51,025 --> 00:03:53,145
Speaker 1: covering the redness and I feel like I have to

75
00:03:53,185 --> 00:03:55,545
Speaker 1: go and put more on and add more on. But

76
00:03:55,585 --> 00:03:58,425
Speaker 1: then I tried using the powder puff and it actually

77
00:03:58,425 --> 00:04:00,945
Speaker 1: gives you way more coverage where you need it. I'm

78
00:04:00,985 --> 00:04:01,545
Speaker 1: going to show you.

79
00:04:08,425 --> 00:04:11,305
Speaker 2: Have you noticed that you use less foundation as well.

80
00:04:11,545 --> 00:04:13,865
Speaker 1: Yes, So I've only actually been using this for.

81
00:04:14,145 --> 00:04:16,025
Speaker 2: It's got the mirror out. She means business.

82
00:04:16,105 --> 00:04:19,265
Speaker 1: The mirror's out, she means buzzness. So I'm just going

83
00:04:19,305 --> 00:04:20,985
Speaker 1: to show you I've been breaking out really bad in

84
00:04:21,065 --> 00:04:24,905
Speaker 1: my chin and my nose always has way less makeup

85
00:04:24,905 --> 00:04:26,025
Speaker 1: on it at the end of the day because I

86
00:04:26,145 --> 00:04:29,145
Speaker 1: rubbed my nose and everything like that. I'm only going

87
00:04:29,185 --> 00:04:30,145
Speaker 1: to use like a little bit.

88
00:04:30,385 --> 00:04:32,345
Speaker 2: So you put it straight on the path, You put.

89
00:04:32,225 --> 00:04:34,345
Speaker 1: It straight on the path, well I do anyway.

90
00:04:34,585 --> 00:04:36,745
Speaker 2: I love this foundation bottle. It looks so nice.

91
00:04:36,825 --> 00:04:37,065
Speaker 1: It is.

92
00:04:37,105 --> 00:04:38,945
Speaker 2: It's kind of like such a tiny.

93
00:04:38,625 --> 00:04:41,265
Speaker 1: Bit and they're a little bit used a lot more.

94
00:04:41,305 --> 00:04:43,385
Speaker 1: I swear when you use a beauty blend up, so

95
00:04:43,425 --> 00:04:47,265
Speaker 1: this is kind of like a medium to maximum coverage foundation.

96
00:04:47,505 --> 00:04:49,985
Speaker 1: But even when I use this with a blender, yeah,

97
00:04:50,025 --> 00:04:52,425
Speaker 1: I'm like a fool of the glob. You just pad

98
00:04:52,465 --> 00:04:55,825
Speaker 1: it in and I've got some breakouts around here, so

99
00:04:55,865 --> 00:04:58,545
Speaker 1: I'm just patting it into my skin and I swear

100
00:04:58,665 --> 00:04:59,625
Speaker 1: the coverage.

101
00:04:59,265 --> 00:05:03,185
Speaker 2: It's already like even that, like that's so weird to me. Oh,

102
00:05:03,185 --> 00:05:07,145
Speaker 2: it looks quite therapeutic. You're it's like there's so much

103
00:05:07,145 --> 00:05:08,785
Speaker 2: on there, but I just saw you put stuff on

104
00:05:08,785 --> 00:05:10,145
Speaker 2: there and it didn't look like much at all.

105
00:05:10,385 --> 00:05:12,585
Speaker 1: It honestly gives you better coverage. I feel like, if

106
00:05:12,585 --> 00:05:14,825
Speaker 1: you've got acne prone skin, or if you struggle with

107
00:05:15,025 --> 00:05:17,665
Speaker 1: breakouts every now and then and you're not up for

108
00:05:18,025 --> 00:05:20,705
Speaker 1: like a really glowy sheer, look, this could be a

109
00:05:20,745 --> 00:05:22,865
Speaker 1: good hack if you're trying to cover up your skin,

110
00:05:22,905 --> 00:05:25,225
Speaker 1: but you don't want to use powder as well, because

111
00:05:25,345 --> 00:05:28,905
Speaker 1: yeah is powder, and if you've got minimum stems, powder

112
00:05:29,065 --> 00:05:33,265
Speaker 1: is cursed use anyway, So I don't know if you

113
00:05:33,305 --> 00:05:35,705
Speaker 1: can see that, but the coverage is way better. It

114
00:05:35,825 --> 00:05:38,545
Speaker 1: feels good. I feel like my makeup's not like moving

115
00:05:38,585 --> 00:05:40,545
Speaker 1: around as much, if that makes sense, Like I'm not

116
00:05:40,625 --> 00:05:41,945
Speaker 1: kind of pushing everything around.

117
00:05:42,545 --> 00:05:43,625
Speaker 2: This is a hack.

118
00:05:43,865 --> 00:05:45,945
Speaker 1: This is a hack, and I rate it. And I

119
00:05:45,985 --> 00:05:49,745
Speaker 1: don't know why we ever didn't use liquid foundation with

120
00:05:49,865 --> 00:05:52,145
Speaker 1: powder puffs, but powder puffs are back in a big way.

121
00:05:52,225 --> 00:05:53,785
Speaker 2: How often do you have to watch that puff?

122
00:05:53,825 --> 00:05:55,545
Speaker 1: I would wash this at least like once a week.

123
00:05:55,585 --> 00:05:58,465
Speaker 1: But you can get like a really cheap packet of puffs,

124
00:05:58,465 --> 00:06:00,025
Speaker 1: Like if you go into the chemist, you could buy

125
00:06:00,065 --> 00:06:02,025
Speaker 1: it like an affordable pack. Some of them come in

126
00:06:02,025 --> 00:06:05,225
Speaker 1: like a pack of five, and then with that extra money,

127
00:06:05,225 --> 00:06:07,585
Speaker 1: you can buy yourself a nice swanky little foundation.

128
00:06:07,905 --> 00:06:13,465
Speaker 2: Here, I come, make up girl, Math, Math, you're glowing.

129
00:06:20,425 --> 00:06:24,705
Speaker 2: So I never knew what my skin type was, Like

130
00:06:24,745 --> 00:06:28,465
Speaker 2: I know there's three distinct ones combination, dry and oily,

131
00:06:29,105 --> 00:06:32,545
Speaker 2: but I never really trusted that. Like I feel like

132
00:06:32,625 --> 00:06:36,665
Speaker 2: depending on my menstrual cycle the time of the year,

133
00:06:36,745 --> 00:06:38,705
Speaker 2: like I could be like all three. So I had

134
00:06:38,705 --> 00:06:39,145
Speaker 2: no idea.

135
00:06:39,225 --> 00:06:41,985
Speaker 1: It's way more complex than just did you fit into

136
00:06:42,185 --> 00:06:43,305
Speaker 1: one of these three things?

137
00:06:43,385 --> 00:06:47,025
Speaker 2: So I saw a TikTok from this beauty influencer called

138
00:06:47,105 --> 00:06:51,305
Speaker 2: Bambi does Beauty. She's absolutely brilliant, and she said that

139
00:06:51,425 --> 00:06:54,145
Speaker 2: to find out exactly what your skin type is, all

140
00:06:54,185 --> 00:06:57,625
Speaker 2: you have to do is cleanse your face and then

141
00:06:57,785 --> 00:07:00,465
Speaker 2: put no product on, like no creams or anything, no

142
00:07:00,545 --> 00:07:03,745
Speaker 2: makeup for thirty minutes, and then check your skin after

143
00:07:03,745 --> 00:07:06,265
Speaker 2: the thirty minutes, and depending how your skin feels, will

144
00:07:06,265 --> 00:07:07,825
Speaker 2: tell you what type your skin is.

145
00:07:07,905 --> 00:07:10,825
Speaker 1: Okay, that already makes me feel terrible because I leave

146
00:07:10,865 --> 00:07:16,145
Speaker 1: my skin dry after like two seconds, It's like so thirsty,

147
00:07:17,025 --> 00:07:20,505
Speaker 1: like put something on me, please. So I guess I

148
00:07:20,545 --> 00:07:22,025
Speaker 1: know that it is dry, right.

149
00:07:21,865 --> 00:07:25,825
Speaker 2: So maybe maybe? So I tried it today. Actually, like

150
00:07:25,865 --> 00:07:28,585
Speaker 2: this morning, I didn't come into work because that was insane.

151
00:07:28,625 --> 00:07:30,505
Speaker 2: I couldn't do that without products. So I did it

152
00:07:30,545 --> 00:07:33,145
Speaker 2: this morning. I washed my face with just like a

153
00:07:33,225 --> 00:07:38,145
Speaker 2: cream based cleanser. I waited thirty minutes and then my

154
00:07:38,305 --> 00:07:42,825
Speaker 2: skin was really dry, as in like it felt like alongside.

155
00:07:42,825 --> 00:07:46,545
Speaker 2: My cheeks were just like dry and a bit like scabby.

156
00:07:46,665 --> 00:07:49,385
Speaker 2: Is that the right word? Like scally? I think, yeah,

157
00:07:49,425 --> 00:07:50,945
Speaker 2: I sound like a lizard. I'm not a list that,

158
00:07:50,985 --> 00:07:53,465
Speaker 2: I promise. It was like a bit scaly, rough, rough,

159
00:07:53,505 --> 00:07:54,585
Speaker 2: it's probably the right word.

160
00:07:54,825 --> 00:07:55,745
Speaker 1: Did it feel tight?

161
00:07:56,185 --> 00:07:58,185
Speaker 2: It felt tight like here on my cheeks. But I

162
00:07:58,185 --> 00:08:02,265
Speaker 2: also have roseasha, so I was like, okay, interesting, thirty

163
00:08:02,305 --> 00:08:04,225
Speaker 2: minutes fine, And then I had to do some work

164
00:08:04,225 --> 00:08:06,785
Speaker 2: in the morning, so I was working, so I assumed

165
00:08:06,865 --> 00:08:09,105
Speaker 2: my skin was dry, right, So I'm like, thirty minutes,

166
00:08:09,145 --> 00:08:12,105
Speaker 2: my skin's dry, well done, I mean now. But then

167
00:08:12,185 --> 00:08:13,825
Speaker 2: as I was working, so it was probably like an

168
00:08:13,825 --> 00:08:17,105
Speaker 2: hour after dripping with oil. I'm an oily girl.

169
00:08:17,225 --> 00:08:18,945
Speaker 1: On your cheeks as well, like on my.

170
00:08:18,985 --> 00:08:22,985
Speaker 2: Cheeks here like full head. So I'm confused. I don't

171
00:08:23,025 --> 00:08:26,185
Speaker 2: think that's really a hack because I feel like my

172
00:08:26,265 --> 00:08:29,505
Speaker 2: skin after thirty minutes is so different from like thirty

173
00:08:29,545 --> 00:08:30,825
Speaker 2: minutes and then like the end of the day, if

174
00:08:30,865 --> 00:08:32,305
Speaker 2: I don't use any product, do.

175
00:08:32,265 --> 00:08:34,745
Speaker 1: You know what I feel though? I feel like because

176
00:08:34,785 --> 00:08:37,225
Speaker 1: your skin changes from day to day, from week to week.

177
00:08:37,345 --> 00:08:40,025
Speaker 1: When you wash your face in the morning, you take

178
00:08:40,065 --> 00:08:42,345
Speaker 1: a second look in the mirror and see what your

179
00:08:42,385 --> 00:08:45,665
Speaker 1: skin needs, because it needs different things on different days.

180
00:08:45,705 --> 00:08:50,225
Speaker 2: But I needs foundation, like mine's just red, mine's I

181
00:08:50,385 --> 00:08:51,705
Speaker 2: cover this up girl.

182
00:08:52,305 --> 00:08:55,065
Speaker 1: But maybe that's where you need a certain type of serum.

183
00:08:55,225 --> 00:08:58,025
Speaker 1: Or more moisturizing. You know, I just know that.

184
00:08:58,185 --> 00:09:01,105
Speaker 2: Like if I assumed my skin was dry and I

185
00:09:01,145 --> 00:09:04,065
Speaker 2: came into the office with like my oils and my serums,

186
00:09:04,425 --> 00:09:05,945
Speaker 2: you would be like, did you just go running a

187
00:09:05,945 --> 00:09:08,345
Speaker 2: marathon because you're sweating, And I'm like, no, I thought

188
00:09:08,385 --> 00:09:11,785
Speaker 2: I had dry skin ripping. I just know I produce

189
00:09:11,905 --> 00:09:14,025
Speaker 2: so much oil on my face, Like I just know that.

190
00:09:14,145 --> 00:09:17,345
Speaker 1: I'm it must be nice, right, Like my skin's not

191
00:09:17,425 --> 00:09:18,785
Speaker 1: thirsty and weird like yours.

192
00:09:19,065 --> 00:09:20,225
Speaker 2: My skin's young, and.

193
00:09:21,825 --> 00:09:24,225
Speaker 1: Well, there you go. Then, so probably is that a fail?

194
00:09:24,345 --> 00:09:26,665
Speaker 2: I think that's I'm sorry, Bamby, but I think this

195
00:09:26,785 --> 00:09:29,265
Speaker 2: is a fail for me. Damn it.

196
00:09:29,985 --> 00:09:32,385
Speaker 1: Well that's all we have time for today. That was

197
00:09:32,385 --> 00:09:33,265
Speaker 1: a hefty show and.

198
00:09:33,585 --> 00:09:36,025
Speaker 2: That was fine. I feel like you got a nail,

199
00:09:36,065 --> 00:09:37,945
Speaker 2: I got a veil kind of as.

200
00:09:37,825 --> 00:09:39,705
Speaker 1: Long as we get wild for me, as long as

201
00:09:39,705 --> 00:09:41,825
Speaker 1: we get one winner and maybe help that poor person.

202
00:09:42,505 --> 00:09:44,385
Speaker 2: As we get one winner and it's meat with me.

203
00:09:45,425 --> 00:09:47,545
