DOING MY MAKEUP IN REVERSE! OMG!

Hey guys, it's me, Nikki. Hello, yes, okay, today I want to do a challenge and I have seen this challenge for a long time and people ask me a lot to do this and I wanted to do this. I'm lying. I did it. I do not want to do this. I'm talking about the

reverse

makeup

challenge: putting your

makeup

on backwards. I first saw this challenge on Tottie's Channel and then a couple of months later James did it, but the one who actually created this challenge was Rock Soros. I believe in the

reverse

makeup challenge, you know, everyone has a routine, everyone has a workflow when it comes to

doing

makeup, for some people, that's mascara with lip gloss.

Courtney acts for some people, that's a whole shebang. Bianca Del Rio and I in the reverse makeup challenge, your routine. Your workflow when it comes to makeup is reversed, so when your first step in your makeup routine is applying primer, foundation will now be your last step, get it when setting spray is your final step, when you apply makeup setting spray now be your first step so that means oh my god, for me personally I always finish with the lips, that means that today the lips come first. I'm preparing for the biggest failure of my life today, yeah, that's it, so if you want to see me put my makeup on. in reverse and it turns into a tragic, tragic mess, then keep watching, okay, so when applying the spray is my last step, now is my first step, oh my god, this is going to be so bad, okay, I'm applying the spray I normally used to use.

I used the flower. Beauty seals the deal, long-lasting setting spray, a matte finish and all-day slay from Gerard Cosmetics. This is like a winning combination. I have never used it as a primer, first setting spray. I do lips, what kind of look do we have. I'm going to be fine, but then if you use lip gloss, do it and lipstick first, this confuses me so much. The look I had in mind required a class, but now I'm seriously considering going for a matte liquid lip, I mean. Whatever a challenge, we can try Mac Oh's sweet lip gloss on sugar cookies, um, so I'm just going to apply that first, okay, that's a look, honey, this is a clap, it doesn't feel like a lip gloss, okay? this because this would have been before this.

I'm applying Maybelline and Gigi Hadid McCall lipstick. This is my favorite Newt lipstick. I don't know if it will still look like my favorite nude lipstick on top of an interesting lip gloss and then before. I usually apply a little bit of lipstick, so this would be the makeup artist's color pencil forever and wherever it's nutty, well, it's not that bad, we're off to a very nice and easy start, okay, let me think before

doing

lips. I usually use highlighter. but also, oh my gosh, I really want to accomplish this challenge. I really want to leave the studio looking great.

So what if I have a day where I changed my routine a little? Well, let me think, what's going on? wait it looks so easy in James' video right now, I would start with the eyes and then the last part of what I do with my eyes is lashes, false lashes and mascara, so I usually choose my lashes inspired by the look of eye shadow I have. using or just the general look I'm going for as of today, the general look I have so far is setting spray and lip gloss. I don't know so I'm going to look for some trusty ones that I know will work with a lot of looks, this one here is Lily Lashes Miami okay I just hope that inner corner wants to stick to my very oily eyelids because usually the oils and eyelash glue are not the best combination, now it's never mascara and then what I always do before.

For my lashes, I apply a little bit of black eyeliner right between this gap here because one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to makeup is seeing a beautiful lash and then a gap of skin from the inner corner to the lash, so Doing that too and now I'm doing eyeshadow with my lashes on so hopefully I can see what I'm doing. Suddenly, the need to do a cut crease was banned from my body because that meant I would have to apply concealer after doing it. the shadows, which means my finished piece would be a concealer lid, so suddenly I don't want to do a cut crease anymore and I want to do a nice kind of smoky eye with one color, that also means that if I do my crease first my crease now it's the last one oh my gosh this challenge would do a fold and then a cover so now I would start with cover after cover.

I'm going to use this Zulu palette from Julius Place and I'm going to With this bright aqua blue color and if you want to save some money at Julia's I have a discount code for you so when you apply code Nicki at checkout in the last step it says discount code put Nicki in there and I'll save you money on your order but this place is already super affordable but you can save even more so I'm going to apply this. I'm already covering my eyeliner. That's great. I can't see much either. I also want to mention the fact that this color remains so pigmented without a base on my lid mm-hmm now I'm going to move on to the crease, wait, wait.

Normally I do the crease and then I do the color on top of it as my transition, so now, which is a very, you know, people love or hate that technique, first the transition shade and then the crease color for my shade. transition. I wanted to do something yellow, we, the Oranjee, from the palaboy Zulu reformatories, but I'm going to take the yellow and I'm I'm going to apply this as my transition tone, now it's time for the crease color and I wanted to do it as a kind of tone nice brownie brown. I'm going to use the brown of the Zulu, blending or applying shadows with lashes is a challenge because It's like I'm pushing down the lush first and then I'm like oh, now I can't, no one can reach it oh my god, oh my god, I just remember something before doing the eyelashes.

I usually do the lower ones. I'm so sorry, don. Don't hang up on me, okay, I'm sorry, it was a real disaster. Oh, oh my god, my skin is getting nervous and I'm red. I'm so embarrassed, okay. I should have started working with the eyeshadow, doing the lower lash line. because that's what I usually do after I make my top. I'm so sorry, honestly forgive me if we don't respect the pigmentation that Dhruva space shadows have without a base right now. I don't know what you're doing. This is why I'm a big fan of Juvia's space palettes because the pigment is out of this world.

I look crazy, I'm giving up, okay, so now I think it's time to be okay, so finish. I see myself, all I'm going to do now is put some mascara on my buttocks, auntie. I forgot about Garrett. I hate this challenge so much. I guess I'm not going to do butt mascara with this look because I should have done it right after doing my falsies, which was Now my first step when it comes to iodine, so although this look would look like a balm with mascara on the bottom lashes, I missed my chance. Now I'll do the other eye off camera real quick to save some time and then I'll come back.

For more disastrous mishaps, the next step, I'm pretty sure, is eyebrows. I'm using the Kat Von D Signature Precision Brow Pencil in medium brown and this pencil is my favorite because it's so small and precise, wait, no, that's not right either, Nicki, you finish. your forehead using eyebrow gel, so eyebrow gels, oh my gosh, oh okay, now I can play with the pencil, that eyebrow gel is having problems, well, it's an eyebrow, now it's time to see the most confusing part of this whole video in my mind, like James. I'm substituting powder products on my face for cream products so that it actually, you know, results in a possible fun look.

At the end of this video, the last thing I would do on my cheeks is a highlighter, so I'm going to use a cream highlighter. two liquid highlighters, this is the iconic highlighter in the color shimmer and I also have these glitter drops with coverage effects in the color in the gold, okay I'll take the highlighter. Holy, my God, my God, I don't. I don't care that it's that extreme because we're going to put the foundation on top anyway, so most of it will be gone anyway. Okay, be it for highlighter. I always use blush, blush, not for contouring.

I'm going to use the bare, nude bars all over my face. color Bondi Bay color mmm, okay, now we're mixing this to make it look nice. I just hope everyone realized that I'm experiencing physical pain from this challenge, okay this here hurts so I'll take the Fenty powder. and I always put powder under my eyes ring under oh my god we are destroying this face I'm going to powder my forehead I'm powdering it here nao-san for concealer for concealer I want to go for the driest concealer I know and the most self-setting concealer I know because I already used powder.

I can't go back to using powders unless the powder magically becomes a step after preparation. Jackie inet does that, what if today I become Jackie aina and just follow her Shindong routine and with Laura Mercier's secret camo concealers, these are super super matte and self-setting, they don't need a lot of powder so I'll just use them and I will use circular movements with a small brush, well base for skin, I want a super matte base that does not need a lot of powder, so I am going to use the night one from Urban Decay and I apply it using a Beauty Blender and the last step I would do on my makeup routine is foundation and for that I am using the morphe prep and set spray and those are the guys, that is my complete makeup look done in reverse, the beginning stages became my final stages and my final stages became my birth.

I can't say I'm in love with this look, let's just say that one of my favorite parts of makeup is the skin because I'm so proud of the fact that I'm actually pretty talented at doing skin makeup. You know, I can't clog my pores. I can get rid of my sins in my life and that is not exactly what is happening today. I'm also missing a nice little contour, a nice little blush and some dazzling highlights, but hey, it's a challenge, yeah, that's the face it's on. I must confess that this was incredibly difficult and I just want to say that I have a lot of respect for my fellow gurus and content creators who really took this challenge by the balls and did it and succeeded because it was a long journey of course if you enjoyed watching this video, don't forget to like and subscribe to my channel and I hope to see you in my next video, which will be so intense and so crazy no.

I want to miss it and it will probably come out on Wednesday. See you then.
