00:17
you want to see from me because I read all of your
00:19
comments and I get my ideas from you guys.
00:22
Over the past few months I’ve received a
00:24
ton of DM’s on Instagram asking me to try
5 Days of DIY Makeup.
00:26
And to be completely honest, I avoided this
00:30
topic for a really long time because I don’t
really know that much about regular makeup,
00:33
let alone DIY makeup.
00:37
But then I took a moment and I thought about it and I was like,
00:39
“Lucie, that is exactly what this series is about!”
00:41
I’m not an expert on any of the topics that
00:45
I dive into in Try Living With Lucie.
00:47
I just do my research and I learn about it
00:49
and then I try something.
00:51
And that’s the point.
00:53
So I took to the internet and I did
00:54
a ton of research and I discovered so many different
00:56
DIY makeup techniques that I’m going to
01:00
try out this week and share with you.
01:01
I also decided to turn this into a challenge
01:04
whereby I’m only allowed to wear the DIY makeup
01:06
that I make this week.
01:09
So as you can see I’m starting out on Monday fresh-faced.
01:10
I started out today with a product that I was most excited to
01:19
For this recipe I followed YouTuber Yvette Polanka’s tutorial for a
01:24
DIY Kylie Jenner Lip Kit.
01:28
I mixed a matte liquid
01:31
foundation with a matte eyeshadow and then stirred them together.
01:32
However much foundation
01:36
you pour in is how much lipstick you’re gonna get
01:37
and then the eyeshadow is used to
01:39
On my wrist, I swatched my favorite Kylie Lip Kit color.
01:41
And then I swatched my version next to it to see how the
01:44
colors were different.
01:47
Then based on that, I knew what
01:48
other tones I needed to add in to achieve
01:50
my desired color. Once I had my color I added
01:52
some olive oil in to smooth it out, and then
I spooned it into an empty pot.
01:55
I put it on and I really, really liked the
02:00
final texture and color.
02:02
Truthfully, it was very similar to my Kylie Lip Kit
02:04
but it just didn’t get that dry, crumbly feeling that the
02:06
Lip Kit sometimes gets. Next, I found
02:09
a recipe for a DIY peppermint lip balm
02:11
on Refinery29.com that calls for ¾ cups of coconut
02:14
oil, ¼ cup of melted cocoa butter,
02:18
and ¼ cup of beeswax.
02:20
I heated that together in a small saucepan,
02:23
and then I poured peppermint
oil into a jar and swirled it around a bit
02:25
before adding the mixture to it.
02:28
I let it harden in the fridge for 20 minutes
02:30
before trying it on,
02:32
and then I tested it out and it is
02:33
officially my new favorite lip product.
02:35
I was looking at my face in the mirror this
morning and I noticed that my skin was looking
02:43
a little blotchy, so I decided that what I
needed most today was some sort of foundation
02:46
and coverup situation to smooth everything over.
02:51
Very necessary. I think it looks pretty
02:54
good now. I really liked how I made yesterday’s
lip balm entirely from scratch
02:56
using non-makeup ingredients. So I wanted
03:01
to replicate that and make a very light foundation
powder entirely from scratch. Once again,
03:03
there were no exact measurements for this,
I was just mixing different ingredients together
03:08
to get the right color tone. So I added cocoapowder for a bronzing glow,
03:12
beet powder for a blush look,
03:17
and turmeric powder which can reduce
acne-causing bacteria. The powder went on
03:20
very smoothly, and interestingly enough once
all the ingredients were mixed together they
03:23
each lost their individual smells
03:28
so the mixture together was entirely odorless.
03:30
It gave me a little natural color.
03:33
Next I followed Yvette Polanka’s Youtube tutorial for a
03:36
I removed the original EOS lip balm from the case, then
03:41
popped out the grate, and then cleaned
the EOS container and set it aside.
03:44
Then I mixed together beeswax, coconut oil, and liquid
foundation and popped it into the microwave
03:48
at 30 second intervals.
03:53
Once it was all mixed, I put the grate back into the bottom of the
03:55
EOS container, poured the mixture in,
03:58
capped it and then popped it in the freezer.
04:00
I kept it in there for 30 minutes and pro-tip:
04:02
store it upside-down if you want to achieve
04:05
that dome shape on the top.
04:08
And not to toot my own DIY EOS concealer horn
04:09
but when I opened it about 30 minutes later, it was perfect.
04:13
It went on a little sheer so next
04:18
time I’ll probably use more concealer and
less coconut oil. It does not stay in formation
04:20
unless you keep it chilled, so keep this in
the fridge.
04:25
So today I decided I wanted to dive into one
04:31
aspect of my daily makeup routine that is
usually so essential for me: eyebrows.
04:34
I think I said it in my “5 Days of No Makeup”
video but, if I had to pick one type of makeup
04:40
to wear everyday, just one, it would be brow powder.
04:45
I started out super easy today, and
04:49
I just wanted to see what it would look like
if I used nothing but raw organic cocoa powder
04:51
I have never thought to do this before,
04:57
and I don’t know why because I’m a huge
04:59
chocolate person. Huge.
05:01
But it was not a bad technique.
05:03
Plus it’s all natural, and who really uses all of the cocoa powder in their
05:05
pantry before it expires anyway? Am I right?
05:09
Then I took it up one level and I made
myself a DIY brow gel.
05:11
Sometimes I actually do really like that full brow, bushy, messy look.
05:15
Other times I just want them to sit
05:20
still and calm down.
05:22
I got this idea from the Youtube channel ModaMob and
05:25
I just mixed hair gel with
05:28
brown powder. And it’s so simple! You just
05:30
mix them together until they’re blended,
twirl a wand into the gel, and apply it. Because
05:32
it's tinted it also helps fill in the gaps,
and this really worked just as well as any
05:36
store bought brow gel.
05:41
I would highly recommend it.
05:43
Notice anything different about me?
05:50
Maybe about my eyes?
05:53
I got eye makeup on!
05:55
It’s been three days of wearing only DIY makeup,
05:57
and even though everything I’ve made this
06:00
week has brought me a little bit closer to
having on a full-face of makeup, I haven’t worn
06:03
anything yet that’s really dramatically
changed my look. Until today.
06:07
So I wanted to make products today that would really add that final pop.
06:12
Eyeliner and mascara.
06:16
I started out with this blue eyeliner using
a tutorial I found on Carli Bybel’s Youtube
06:18
channel. You mix eyeshadow in whatever color
you want your eyeliner to be with MAC Fix
06:23
Plus. The Fix Plus helps turn the eyeshadow into
06:28
a liquid form, and gets it all smooth so that
06:30
you could apply it with a really skinny brush.
I’m usually a black eyeliner girl but I’m
06:33
loving the blue, and I’m thinking this is
my new thing.
06:37
Next, making the mascara was the most difficult and involved process of yhe entire week so far.
06:40
This idea came from
06:47
a Youtube Channel called Alternative Channel.
06:48
I started by placing slivered almonds on a
06:50
pan and then heating them up until they became
completely burned and black. Once the almonds
06:52
were charred, I put them into a baggie and
I crushed them using the back of a water bottle.
06:57
I mixed them with one teaspoon of Vaseline, and then the original recipe wanted me to
07:01
heat this mixture on a stovetop with a double
boiler, but I decided to just throw it in
07:06
Once the mixture had a better consistency from the heat, I spooned it into
07:11
a syringe and then I pumped it into an old,
cleaned-out mascara container.
07:15
TBH, this mixture stunk.
07:19
You would have thought that something died.
07:22
So I don’t know how I felt about this
07:24
product because of how it smelled, but it
did work nicely!
07:25
I mean, it looks like regular mascara.
07:29
And it’s pretty cool. It was made out of burnt almonds.
07:31
I literally have a smokey eye.
07:33
For my final day I felt
07:38
that I had made enough DIY makeup products
for an everyday, natural look. So I decided
07:40
instead of making another makeup product,
I’d make my own DIY makeup remover.
07:45
I found this recipe on Refinery29.
07:49
Have you heard of it?
07:52
Place 12 cotton squares into a sterile
07:53
mason jar, and then set it aside.
07:55
Mix ⅛ cup of melted coconut oil, with
07:57
⅛ cup of apricot kernel oil, three drops of
08:00
lavender, and two drops of vitamin E oil.
08:03
I poured the mixture over the cotton pads, and
08:06
then poked around a little to make sure they
absorbed as much liquid as possible.
08:08
Refrigerated the pads for at least one hour
08:12
and then tested it out.
08:14
The mixture smelled really good and
08:16
it worked really well, but it was definitely
a little bit oily
08:18
so it requires you to wash your face with soap and water
08:21
And after I trial tested the makeup
08:26
remover pads, I actually put
08:28
all of my DIY makeup back on because it’s
08:30
Friday nigh and I’m going out in DIY
makeup! Can’t stop me!
08:33
I officially made it through the entire week wearing only DIY makeup products.
08:36
I feel like I gave my skin
08:41
a much needed rest from the typical makeup products
08:43
that I use everyday which are a lot
08:45
heavier, and are not necessarily all-natural.
08:47
Let me know if you have anymore DIY makeup
08:50
ideas that I can test out.
