Hi Ladies! It's me again, Xanreo (Shanreyo). It's been a while since I published my make-up blogs here. It's just sad because I haven't been able to do make-up blogs in the past few months because I feel demotivated to do anything because I am stressed and depressed to the point that I also can't take care of my face's beauty, so I can't put any makeup on my face.

But now, I am back to face the camera, record myself doing makeup tutorials again, and practice editing videos.

And that is what I did yesterday. I couldn't write this blog right away because I spent my time editing the video. You know what? It's hard for me to edit some videos. Unlike the new generation right now, adding translations, other effects, and managing the speed of the sound so that the beat can go with the flow in the video is just a basic thing for them, but to me as a beginner, I don't know anything about it.

Anyway, I uploaded a video to my YouTube account. You can watch the video here:

If you're looking for video sounds, I haven't put any. I just cut some video clips that you should not have seen. Actually, at first, my plan was to just take some pictures of a tutorial, and I didn't have a plan to record myself, but I changed my mind and said to myself, "Why not?" And I just set aside my shyness and just enjoy what I am doing.

I also planned to record my voice, but because I edited and cut the video clips and increased the video speeds, I wasn't able to add my voice record. But I will do that next time; I will record myself doing makeup again using my TikTok account.

Okay, now let's talk about the beauty products that I used in my makeup tutorial.

As you have seen in the video, the first thing that I did was put on contact lenses. I already have a contact lens on my eyes before I start recording myself. You should put on contact lenses first because they can make your eyes cry and ruin your makeup if you put them on after you finish your makeup.

Then, the second thing that I did was do a little skincare so that my skin would not be ruined and my makeup would not look cakey after. It is important for us to put our skincare first before putting make-up on our faces so that you won't have baby acne after.

• To hydrate my face, I used Luxe Organix Vitamin C Hydrabright toner. This is really good for my skin; it hydrated my face because I have had dull and dry skin before.
• The next thing that I paired with this toner was the Luxe Organix Cica Soothing Gel, which also helped me moisturize my face and feel alive again, and lastly;
• I put on sunscreen. This is very important to put on before applying makeup. So that it would protect your face from the sun, especially when you're outside and you wear makeup. I used Barefaced Sunkissed sunscreen. It is nice to use this sunscreen, especially if you have an oily skin type.

Oh! I also recommend this make-up brush that I bought on Shopee. This is my second make-up brush set that I bought for myself.

The brand of these make-up brushes is MAANGE, and I really recommend these make-up brushes for beginners. Because it is affordable but of the same quality as the expensive one.

The next thing that I will discuss with you on this blog is the gift that I received during the exchange gift event. Finally! The long wait is over, and I finally tried my dream eyeshadow palette.

If you watch the video, you will see me feeling excited and being funny. And also, you can watch my real reaction and my true feedback about this eyeshadow palette after I tried and put on one shade.

Here are the shades of the eyeshadows I used:

THIS IS THE FINAL LOOK:

CONCLUSION:

This is not my first make-up video, as I sometimes record myself when I do my makeup and upload it to my TikTok account. All I can say right now that I'm back again to do my makeup is that I enjoyed recording and editing this makeup video yesterday and after watching myself in this video, I can't believe that I can also be a funny person. I don't know why, but maybe doing makeup is my healer—it helped me to distract myself from thinking about a lot of things. Well, I don't mind if how I look here matters; all that matters to me is that I enjoyed it and I had fun.

Anyway, this is all for today! I hope you enjoyed watching the makeup video tutorial that I uploaded above, and I'm sorry if you experienced low quality. I don't know how to upload a video on Youtube. Peace!

THANKS FOR READING!
