Key, 16 00:00:56,945 --> 00:00:57,905 Speaker 2: I can't wait to hear about this. 17 00:00:58,145 --> 00:01:02,745 Speaker 1: Yes, but first, now that we're all Bessie Leslie friends, 18 00:01:02,945 --> 00:01:05,105 Speaker 1: best friends, best listing. 19 00:01:04,825 --> 00:01:08,945 Speaker 2: Together, I want to talk about the underreyes. Oh okay, 20 00:01:09,225 --> 00:01:11,225 Speaker 2: what's going on with the under eye area? 21 00:01:11,465 --> 00:01:13,825 Speaker 1: And I never know what color is. 22 00:01:13,785 --> 00:01:16,625 Speaker 2: Supposed to be putting under our eyes today. A law 23 00:01:16,705 --> 00:01:19,425 Speaker 2: published an article this year called under a Conceila is dead. 24 00:01:19,465 --> 00:01:22,065 Speaker 2: And that that title to me was scary because I 25 00:01:22,185 --> 00:01:24,385 Speaker 2: like my under a concealer, she works really hard. But 26 00:01:24,425 --> 00:01:26,945 Speaker 2: the more I read it, the more I understood. Essentially, 27 00:01:27,185 --> 00:01:30,585 Speaker 2: remember when everyone was doing like really light under eyes 28 00:01:30,705 --> 00:01:33,625 Speaker 2: and using a lot of concealer, like the triangle under. 29 00:01:33,425 --> 00:01:35,145 Speaker 1: The eye, I never got that it was the. 30 00:01:35,065 --> 00:01:37,545 Speaker 2: Glad makeup area of twenty sixteen ish, and it was 31 00:01:37,585 --> 00:01:40,145 Speaker 2: a big triangle from the inner corner down to kind 32 00:01:40,145 --> 00:01:42,145 Speaker 2: of the outside the nose back up to the outer corner, 33 00:01:42,585 --> 00:01:43,985 Speaker 2: and it was nearly. 34 00:01:43,705 --> 00:01:46,225 Speaker 1: White right right, right right. 35 00:01:46,225 --> 00:01:48,265 Speaker 2: So blending that out and setting it down, I mean 36 00:01:48,825 --> 00:01:50,745 Speaker 2: the under I look bright, don't get me wrong, But 37 00:01:50,785 --> 00:01:53,225 Speaker 2: I wouldn't say it was a subtle approach, No, And 38 00:01:53,265 --> 00:01:56,305 Speaker 2: in recent years, makeup trends generally have become a little 39 00:01:56,345 --> 00:01:58,985 Speaker 2: bit more understated, subtle. And there was a really interesting 40 00:01:59,025 --> 00:02:02,665 Speaker 2: take about how trends in recent times have been flattening 41 00:02:02,665 --> 00:02:05,505 Speaker 2: out our complexion just to add dimension back in with contouring, 42 00:02:05,585 --> 00:02:06,705 Speaker 2: kind of like you were saying a couple of weeks 43 00:02:06,745 --> 00:02:09,105 Speaker 2: ago about eyeshadow. Yes, like flattening it out and then 44 00:02:09,105 --> 00:02:11,665 Speaker 2: adding it back when you had that anyway, and now 45 00:02:11,665 --> 00:02:13,025 Speaker 2: a lot of people are just opting to let their 46 00:02:13,025 --> 00:02:15,785 Speaker 2: face towards thing, which I'm definitely into. But I got 47 00:02:15,785 --> 00:02:17,705 Speaker 2: to talk about all the colors I've seen under the 48 00:02:17,705 --> 00:02:18,465 Speaker 2: eyes and. 49 00:02:18,465 --> 00:02:20,665 Speaker 1: Why there's a lot, and it's confusing. 50 00:02:20,785 --> 00:02:25,345 Speaker 2: I'm confused. So first, color correctors, let's talk generally, Purple 51 00:02:25,585 --> 00:02:30,345 Speaker 2: brightens dullness and evens at yellow. Yellow conceals dark purple 52 00:02:30,585 --> 00:02:35,385 Speaker 2: or blue discoloration. Green color corrector helps with red so pimples, blotchiness. 53 00:02:35,705 --> 00:02:38,305 Speaker 2: But for under eyes, generally we're looking at the peach 54 00:02:38,465 --> 00:02:41,425 Speaker 2: shade family to cancel out dark circles, especially under the eyes. 55 00:02:41,825 --> 00:02:45,025 Speaker 2: I think then though, typically you'd apply some concealer or 56 00:02:45,185 --> 00:02:49,825 Speaker 2: just continue your foundation up over that color correcting area. Okay, 57 00:02:50,305 --> 00:02:52,065 Speaker 2: I know Hood of Beauty came out with pink and 58 00:02:52,105 --> 00:02:54,505 Speaker 2: peach color corrector in multiple depths of shades for this 59 00:02:54,625 --> 00:02:57,785 Speaker 2: exact reason, to complement your undertones, and that brings me 60 00:02:57,865 --> 00:03:00,825 Speaker 2: to pink. There was a big, big trend of pink 61 00:03:00,905 --> 00:03:04,865 Speaker 2: powder slash blush under eyes. So people were starting with 62 00:03:04,905 --> 00:03:07,825 Speaker 2: like a light cream blush like up under the underreye, 63 00:03:08,505 --> 00:03:11,625 Speaker 2: then mixing some of that with concealer, then setting with 64 00:03:11,705 --> 00:03:14,705 Speaker 2: a light pink powder, then putting on your actual blush. 65 00:03:14,825 --> 00:03:17,745 Speaker 2: It looked really bright and light. But also I think 66 00:03:17,785 --> 00:03:19,545 Speaker 2: that if you're going for a more kind of subtle 67 00:03:19,625 --> 00:03:21,865 Speaker 2: daytime look, not sure to me. 68 00:03:22,385 --> 00:03:25,705 Speaker 1: That area of your face it's the thinnest. Yeah, it's 69 00:03:25,905 --> 00:03:29,905 Speaker 1: the most sensitive. I've never ever understood putting more than 70 00:03:29,945 --> 00:03:32,305 Speaker 1: one product on top of it. I really haven't, because 71 00:03:32,345 --> 00:03:37,345 Speaker 1: I just said, okay, I put concealer, I'm done. 72 00:03:37,465 --> 00:03:37,865 Speaker 2: Okay. 73 00:03:37,945 --> 00:03:40,985 Speaker 1: I just feel like otherwise it looks too makeup and 74 00:03:41,025 --> 00:03:41,905 Speaker 1: it's a dead giveaway. 75 00:03:42,345 --> 00:03:45,505 Speaker 2: So producer Cast alerted us to the latest under ie trend, 76 00:03:45,585 --> 00:03:50,305 Speaker 2: just crazy Bronza as a color corrector for the dark circles. 77 00:03:50,345 --> 00:03:53,265 Speaker 2: At first, I was like, please, how could this work? 78 00:03:53,265 --> 00:03:55,065 Speaker 2: But the more I learned about color creacting, I'm like, well, 79 00:03:55,225 --> 00:03:58,025 Speaker 2: a Bronza is technically in the peachy warm family, I suppose, 80 00:03:58,025 --> 00:04:00,465 Speaker 2: so maybe this will work. So I tried it, which 81 00:04:00,545 --> 00:04:03,385 Speaker 2: I do think I did this morning that one. Do 82 00:04:03,425 --> 00:04:04,345 Speaker 2: you think it looks brighter? 83 00:04:04,825 --> 00:04:06,545 Speaker 1: No? I think it looks like you've got bronzier under 84 00:04:06,545 --> 00:04:09,625 Speaker 1: your eye. You'd be right, I. 85 00:04:11,105 --> 00:04:13,265 Speaker 2: Asked on Instagram. I did a poll and I said, 86 00:04:13,265 --> 00:04:15,105 Speaker 2: which underye looks brighter? Because the whole idea is that 87 00:04:15,105 --> 00:04:16,825 Speaker 2: it's meant to be like canceling out my dark circles. 88 00:04:16,865 --> 00:04:19,865 Speaker 2: Yea brightening it up. Everyone said this I the one. 89 00:04:20,145 --> 00:04:24,225 Speaker 1: But I would say that maybe that does look more natural, 90 00:04:24,665 --> 00:04:28,585 Speaker 1: as in, like when we're talking about the white brightness, 91 00:04:28,625 --> 00:04:31,625 Speaker 1: maybe that is a bit subtle. Yeah, maybe it is. 92 00:04:31,985 --> 00:04:35,745 Speaker 2: I will say I felt alarmed when I, like, because 93 00:04:35,745 --> 00:04:37,265 Speaker 2: it was early in the morning, I've got to get here, 94 00:04:37,665 --> 00:04:39,705 Speaker 2: and I was like, oh shit, I don't know. I 95 00:04:39,705 --> 00:04:41,945 Speaker 2: felt like it was really just like kind of dark 96 00:04:42,025 --> 00:04:42,825 Speaker 2: under my eye. 97 00:04:42,905 --> 00:04:44,905 Speaker 1: Well remember when we came in to sit down and 98 00:04:44,945 --> 00:04:46,385 Speaker 1: Cassie was like, did you try it? And you were 99 00:04:46,385 --> 00:04:49,345 Speaker 1: like I did, Like I couldn't. I didn't look your 100 00:04:49,385 --> 00:04:50,825 Speaker 1: stuff in the script, so I didn't even know what 101 00:04:50,825 --> 00:04:52,825 Speaker 1: we're talking about. There you go, that's my prep. But 102 00:04:53,145 --> 00:04:55,865 Speaker 1: I couldn't have noticed. And now I know what we're 103 00:04:55,905 --> 00:04:57,905 Speaker 1: talking about, then of course I can look at it, 104 00:04:57,985 --> 00:05:01,545 Speaker 1: so obviously you know it's definitely different. But on first glance, 105 00:05:01,545 --> 00:05:02,465 Speaker 1: I would never have known. 106 00:05:02,705 --> 00:05:05,105 Speaker 2: Look for me, I don't have like a depth of 107 00:05:05,145 --> 00:05:08,385 Speaker 2: color under my eye. I definitely have undery bags and darkness, 108 00:05:08,385 --> 00:05:12,145 Speaker 2: but like I don't have like a lot to color correct. 109 00:05:12,225 --> 00:05:14,665 Speaker 2: I suppose that concealer typically does the job for me. There, 110 00:05:15,265 --> 00:05:17,585 Speaker 2: so I found that I was having to conceal over 111 00:05:17,585 --> 00:05:19,105 Speaker 2: the color character kind of like you were saying, I 112 00:05:19,145 --> 00:05:21,305 Speaker 2: felt I just looked in the mirror before this record. 113 00:05:21,305 --> 00:05:22,745 Speaker 2: I feel like I look like I've got more product 114 00:05:22,825 --> 00:05:25,985 Speaker 2: under this eye. Yes, yeah, So for me, at the 115 00:05:26,025 --> 00:05:27,305 Speaker 2: end of the day, you do you make up is 116 00:05:27,305 --> 00:05:30,185 Speaker 2: fun and expressive and entirely unique to all of us. Personally, 117 00:05:30,225 --> 00:05:31,705 Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna stick to my little dot of 118 00:05:31,705 --> 00:05:34,185 Speaker 2: concealer in the inner corner and on the out of corner. 119 00:05:34,185 --> 00:05:36,705 Speaker 2: But who knows, really like maybe this at the end 120 00:05:36,745 --> 00:05:38,145 Speaker 2: of the day, But this eye could look way better. 121 00:05:38,665 --> 00:05:41,145 Speaker 1: Honestly, it's growing on me. The more that I'm looking 122 00:05:41,145 --> 00:05:43,025 Speaker 1: at it, the more I'm like, I feel it. Heah, 123 00:05:43,705 --> 00:05:46,705 Speaker 1: I think I'd like it better. Shit. Really, the only 124 00:05:46,785 --> 00:05:49,065 Speaker 1: reason why is I think we're so trained to think 125 00:05:49,105 --> 00:05:51,865 Speaker 1: that it needs to be really bright light under there, 126 00:05:52,225 --> 00:05:55,865 Speaker 1: whereas that looks like your face is one color. If 127 00:05:55,865 --> 00:05:59,025 Speaker 1: that makes right in a good way. It's been a journey. 128 00:05:59,105 --> 00:06:00,305 Speaker 2: What am I gonna do now? 129 00:06:00,745 --> 00:06:03,025 Speaker 1: Well, I think, do whatever you like. But this is 130 00:06:03,025 --> 00:06:05,025 Speaker 1: the interesting thing, right, It's like a few weeks ago, 131 00:06:05,105 --> 00:06:09,545 Speaker 1: Will talking about brow blindness, like not realizing like my wedding. 132 00:06:09,745 --> 00:06:12,505 Speaker 1: Let's just be real, my eyebrows were not good. I 133 00:06:12,665 --> 00:06:14,745 Speaker 1: was so blind to my eyebrows. 134 00:06:14,785 --> 00:06:16,345 Speaker 2: I think your brows are great at your wedding. 135 00:06:16,585 --> 00:06:19,985 Speaker 1: Call it a spade a spade. I'm like, sometimes you're 136 00:06:20,025 --> 00:06:23,665 Speaker 1: just so conditioned that that is the look that looks good. 137 00:06:23,705 --> 00:06:26,025 Speaker 2: Do you want to pull up my brows from twenty twenty? 138 00:06:27,625 --> 00:06:29,505 Speaker 2: They were good at the time, though there was a 139 00:06:29,665 --> 00:06:30,305 Speaker 2: thing at the time. 140 00:06:30,385 --> 00:06:31,425 Speaker 1: It was a thing at the time. 141 00:06:31,665 --> 00:06:34,265 Speaker 2: I had to sob brow going on. Everyone liked it, 142 00:06:34,305 --> 00:06:35,945 Speaker 2: though I've got a lot of compliments, and I honestly 143 00:06:35,985 --> 00:06:38,905 Speaker 2: didn't even know my eyebrows have potential to be that big. Yeah. 144 00:06:39,025 --> 00:06:40,785 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think anyone did. 145 00:06:40,865 --> 00:06:43,265 Speaker 2: I look back on photos and I'm like, whoa, why 146 00:06:43,345 --> 00:06:51,025 Speaker 2: did you even have a lammy? 147 00:06:51,185 --> 00:06:53,585 Speaker 1: So I've been up and about one thing that I've 148 00:06:53,585 --> 00:06:54,945 Speaker 1: been saying I'm going to do for a while now. 149 00:06:54,945 --> 00:06:57,425 Speaker 1: It's braids, and I've actually made the decision to do 150 00:06:57,465 --> 00:06:59,945 Speaker 1: it for Europe. It's going to be a bit of 151 00:06:59,985 --> 00:07:02,625 Speaker 1: a test run for this second Bubba because a lot 152 00:07:02,665 --> 00:07:05,585 Speaker 1: of people say that braids are really great for that 153 00:07:05,665 --> 00:07:07,865 Speaker 1: newborn stage, so you can just focus on baby and 154 00:07:07,985 --> 00:07:09,785 Speaker 1: when you've got textured hair, you don't have to worryry 155 00:07:09,785 --> 00:07:12,625 Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, so I thought, okay, great, trip away, 156 00:07:13,265 --> 00:07:18,265 Speaker 1: I'll see how much maintenance is involved, right, But this 157 00:07:18,305 --> 00:07:20,225 Speaker 1: is quite a process. Initially I was going to talk 158 00:07:20,265 --> 00:07:21,745 Speaker 1: about getting the braids in and I was like, hey, 159 00:07:21,745 --> 00:07:23,665 Speaker 1: wait a minute, there's a lot of research that I've 160 00:07:23,665 --> 00:07:25,025 Speaker 1: done in the lead up to this that I think 161 00:07:25,065 --> 00:07:28,225 Speaker 1: it's important to share. So I needed to do two things. 162 00:07:28,305 --> 00:07:30,745 Speaker 1: Was find a place and then also settle on what 163 00:07:30,905 --> 00:07:34,345 Speaker 1: type of braids would suit my face because there are 164 00:07:34,625 --> 00:07:39,145 Speaker 1: so many protective styles out there, and my biggest concern 165 00:07:39,185 --> 00:07:42,745 Speaker 1: about getting braids is proportion. Okay, so you know how 166 00:07:42,745 --> 00:07:46,225 Speaker 1: people like will often say they got a boob job 167 00:07:46,305 --> 00:07:48,185 Speaker 1: because they just wanted to even out the proportion of 168 00:07:48,225 --> 00:07:51,305 Speaker 1: their body. Okay, that's how I feel about my hair. Okay, 169 00:07:51,465 --> 00:07:54,585 Speaker 1: so my hair's flat. I feel like I'm not in proportion. 170 00:07:55,025 --> 00:07:56,945 Speaker 2: I see when you don't have volume going when. 171 00:07:56,865 --> 00:07:59,465 Speaker 1: I don't have volume. So I was really worried about 172 00:07:59,465 --> 00:08:02,505 Speaker 1: potentially getting braids and losing all of that volume of 173 00:08:02,545 --> 00:08:11,705 Speaker 1: my hair and then feeling really kind of like a thumb. Okay, 174 00:08:13,505 --> 00:08:16,745 Speaker 1: I need volume to feel like i'm you know, are 175 00:08:16,825 --> 00:08:20,025 Speaker 1: that I'm me. So I did loads of research and 176 00:08:20,385 --> 00:08:24,625 Speaker 1: it was clear that braids to the head or really 177 00:08:24,665 --> 00:08:27,465 Speaker 1: thin braids, I'm not there yet. I've got to work 178 00:08:27,545 --> 00:08:31,185 Speaker 1: up to that, I think, right. I landed on medium 179 00:08:31,305 --> 00:08:35,425 Speaker 1: to big box braids, So medium would probably be three 180 00:08:35,505 --> 00:08:36,985 Speaker 1: to four big would. 181 00:08:36,825 --> 00:08:41,385 Speaker 2: Be like six to seven centimeters centimeters wide, Okay, right. 182 00:08:41,905 --> 00:08:44,665 Speaker 1: So the reason I liked this was also because it 183 00:08:44,665 --> 00:08:46,185 Speaker 1: looks like it's kind of like one of the most 184 00:08:46,305 --> 00:08:48,665 Speaker 1: versatile in the way of you can because it's a 185 00:08:48,665 --> 00:08:50,505 Speaker 1: bit thicker, you can style it into like a barn 186 00:08:50,625 --> 00:08:52,745 Speaker 1: or half up haulf down. You can do some of 187 00:08:52,785 --> 00:08:55,625 Speaker 1: those styles because you've got more to work with. So 188 00:08:56,225 --> 00:08:58,945 Speaker 1: in an article on glama dot com, they talked about 189 00:08:58,945 --> 00:09:00,545 Speaker 1: box braids and they said that they're named for the 190 00:09:00,545 --> 00:09:03,265 Speaker 1: way that the individual hair sections are parted for use, 191 00:09:03,705 --> 00:09:07,465 Speaker 1: forming boxes on the scalp, resembling a grid. So you'll 192 00:09:07,465 --> 00:09:09,225 Speaker 1: see if you look at someone with braids in the 193 00:09:09,225 --> 00:09:11,585 Speaker 1: top of their head head, it's like a grid of 194 00:09:11,665 --> 00:09:14,025 Speaker 1: boxes and then the braid comes out of each box. 195 00:09:14,625 --> 00:09:18,185 Speaker 1: They are really low maintenance hairstyle. We love that we're 196 00:09:18,225 --> 00:09:20,465 Speaker 1: getting it. They're not going to freeze out immediately after 197 00:09:20,465 --> 00:09:25,625 Speaker 1: getting wet, making them perfect for vacation tick. They say 198 00:09:25,625 --> 00:09:27,825 Speaker 1: that I need to sleep with a satin scarf or 199 00:09:27,825 --> 00:09:30,425 Speaker 1: a bonnet that'll just help maintain the shine and prevent 200 00:09:30,465 --> 00:09:35,265 Speaker 1: any breakage. And they're most often installed with extensions and 201 00:09:35,305 --> 00:09:37,345 Speaker 1: come in various length sizes, and colors. 202 00:09:37,505 --> 00:09:39,105 Speaker 2: Are you thinking about doing an extension? 203 00:09:39,265 --> 00:09:42,665 Speaker 1: Yes, I will, just for a little bit of extra length. 204 00:09:43,145 --> 00:09:45,785 Speaker 1: But honestly, the consultation that I'm going to have it's key. 205 00:09:46,065 --> 00:09:48,505 Speaker 1: It's key to the process because I have an idea 206 00:09:48,545 --> 00:09:51,105 Speaker 1: and then she's probably gonna go sweaty, this is what's 207 00:09:51,145 --> 00:09:52,785 Speaker 1: going to see you, and I'm going to go, Okay, 208 00:09:53,385 --> 00:09:56,025 Speaker 1: you do it, you do it. The really good thing 209 00:09:56,025 --> 00:09:58,665 Speaker 1: about this is that having this protective style is going 210 00:09:58,705 --> 00:10:01,105 Speaker 1: to be great for my hair. But what I read 211 00:10:01,105 --> 00:10:03,145 Speaker 1: in this article that was really important to note was 212 00:10:03,145 --> 00:10:05,185 Speaker 1: that they were like, go and get your treatments and 213 00:10:05,225 --> 00:10:08,225 Speaker 1: you cut and your color done first.

They say braids should laughter about 221 00:10:29,745 --> 00:10:32,465 Speaker 1: two months before you can go and get them touched up, 222 00:10:32,505 --> 00:10:36,705 Speaker 1: redone whatever.
