DOING MY MOM'S MAKEUP

Hello sisters! James Charles here and welcome back to my YouTube channel. For today's video: I have a very, very special guest, my beautiful mother, my sister Christie B. I am so excited to have her here for today's video. If you missed the last video, my whole family is currently visiting me in Los Angeles and it's amazing and so much fun. In our last video we filmed together, my mom and dad competed against each other on an episode of Beauty Battles. It was so crazy and so much fun. If you missed that video, you have to click up here, right above my mom's face, and watch it!

Thank you all for all the love and support on the video. And a lot of her comments were asking me to glam up my mom and I'm so excited because I've only done her

makeup

a few times. And she's been complaining every time because it's too much, too much coverage, but she's going to hold on and for today's video we're going to give Sister Christie B. a completely glamorous makeover. (Christie speaks) I see James glam up himself or his friends all the time and I'm so excited to see him glam up to me, his mom, with more mature skin. (Christie speaks) Let's get started. (Intro music plays) Today I will start with my mom's face by moisturizing her skin with Tatcha water cream.

If you watched my

makeup

tips and tricks video from a few weeks ago, I talked about the importance of using a moisturizer. before your makeup routine My mom has more mature skin, but obviously we're going to be

doing

a lot of makeup today, so we really want to make sure that all of the makeup is nice and smooth and doesn't look cakey. and textured because that's never the goal. For today's foundation, I'm going to use the Too Faced Born this Way foundation. You guys know this is my all time favorite and my mom also has oily skin like me so it will work very very well with her skin type.

And like we were saying, she has more mature skin, so this is going to be a more full coverage foundation, which is something I wouldn't normally do, but Sister Christie loves a really good full coverage foundation, right? Yes. And that's because she has... oh, sorry. Vitiligo. Yeah, well... (laughs) Do you want to tell the sisters a little more about what vitiligo is and how it has affected you? Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease and there is no cure; It doesn't hurt and it's not contagious, but it's the white spots that continue to increase as the years go by.

But I have learned to accept my spots and love my skin no matter what. (Laughs) While we put on a full coverage foundation today. But I, true, also feel safer when it's covered. UH Huh. Do you know I started using a Beauty Blender like two weeks ago? That?! I used to, until two weeks ago, just use my finger to put on foundation. (James gasping) That scares me. "Yuck." I'm proud of you for making the transition. Yes. I actually like it. Yeah, isn't it great? It took me a while to get used to it. You are so brave.

Oh thank you very much. (laughs) So I asked you sisters to send in questions while my mom and I are

doing

our makeup today so we can talk about stories and me as a kid and all kinds of fun and embarrassing things. So, let's do it, I guess. Sister June asked, "Do you think James is more like his mom or his dad, and in what ways do you think he's more like you?" James has a very strong personality, he always has. His dad has a strong personality. Well, how am I like you? You are kind. Sometimes. (James gasps) Excuse me!

I remember when you were younger you went to school and the teachers thought you were the best thing since sliced ​​bread and I was like, "Are we talking about the same James?" Because you always gave us a chance when you were younger. Yes. You were very bold. Aha, nothing has changed. ...but never to the teachers. UH Huh. And you are brilliant, like your father. Dad is very, very smart, just like you. Dad definitely didn't get the (Hey!) (Heeeey) *laughs* smart genes from Sister Christie. She eliminates all the good personality genes that matter. And you get your look from me too... right... good answer Ok, so you were talking about me being a "very energetic kid" as you always like to say when talking about it. , Sister Alyssa asks, “Can you tell a story about James when he was younger and you knew he was going to be… me?” Just a story?

Because I have many stories. Oh, okay.... You didn't sleep through the night until you were two and a half. Your pediatrician recommended the Ferber method, which allowed you to cry for a few minutes and then go in and continue increasing. the moment for them to realize that they will get nothing out of crying and will eventually calm down and go back to sleeping on their own. You were so determined that you kept yelling and I would leave the house in my car because I couldn't. I stayed listening to you cry. He would come back an hour or two later and you were still crying and it didn't work for you.

So dad and I took you to the pediatrician and asked her what was going on and she said most kids would have given up. She said: "James won't be an easy boy to raise, but he will go on to do great things in life." Ohh, she said that. Really? She did it Wow Angie asks, "What's your favorite memory with you and James?" Spending time on Cape Cod. Every summer, we rented a house on the cape and hung out on the beach. Well, that's not true. I didn't sit on the beach, I had to chase you. Because you would literally go to different people and start chatting with them.

And you were like 2. Now, are you contouring my nose, with the intention of making it look slimmer, slimmer? mhmm, we love a good nose off here on James Charles's YouTube channel. You have a nice, slim nose, and you definitely gave yours to Ian. So rude. Because I didn't understand that. Whose nose do you think you have? I don't know. What's wrong with your nose? I don't know, nothing really. It's just not as pretty as mine. Yeah! While my mom's face is baking, I am so excited because eyebrow time has finally come and as much as I love my beautiful mother, her eyebrows need help.

Seriously. She has about three hairs on her eyebrows, the ones there are about 70 miles away. I'm just... I'm very, very excited about this today. We'll give her some pretty slayed and snatched sister eyebrows. I can not wait. Yes me neither. Although I think I wear them very well when I do. I'm not used to it. You literally take an eyebrow pencil and draw a line. I know! I'm not used to having thick eyebrows. So clearly. I never had many eyebrow hairs. And I didn't even write them in pencil until probably a few years ago. Ever. Actually?

Yes, and what a difference eyebrows make. Yes, they change your face. They really do. I definitely learned it from you. Well yes, my eyebrows have definitely undergone an intense transformation for the better on this YouTube makeup journey. So, my mom doesn't really have a lot of eyebrow hairs, which actually helps us a lot, because we have a lot to work with and we put them where we want. Which is great. So I'm going to start with this eyebrow by planning it. So I'm actually extending it on the front of her eyebrow, probably half an inch inward.

Your basic eyebrow should start just outside the bridge of your nose. We'll expand it a little bit and make it a little longer. Then I simply follow the natural shape and thickness of her brow to fill in the rest of the brow. And I'm just drawing very, very light strokes because she has blonde hair and we obviously don't want them to look like very, very dark brown. That would just seem weird. When I get to the end of the brow, I just extend it outwards, continue with that arch and draw a tail at the end to really finish off the shape of her brow and make it a full, full brow.

Yesterday when I did it your eyebrows were like a gel. Would you recommend using a gel on them James or not? The goal of brow gel is to actually get your brow hairs into place and push them in the direction you want them to go. Fill in your eyebrows. So the eyebrow gel is really going to be more for people like me who have a lot of eyebrow hairs and if you fill them in, you don't want them all facing the right direction, but for someone like you. Who really doesn't have so many eyebrow hairs, eyebrow gel is definitely not necessary.

Well, that's good to know. The trick is to make the other seem... similar.
