I Got A "Perfect" Makeover Based On My Features

Hello friends and welcome to another video. This week I will receive the so-called "

perfect

"

makeover

based

on my

features

, that is, my skin tone, hair color, eye color, and face and body shape. Growing up, I always used to see these articles in teen magazines with titles like how to dress for your body type or what haircut flatters your face shape or what lipstick goes with your skin undertones, and even though I read them with frequently, I never applied them. my style choices opted for long hair, frosted eyeshadow, and late 2000s Henle miniskirts and shirts. And now, what I would call my comfortable vampire aesthetic now, I obviously don't believe one hundred percent in the idea that you have to use certain things.

based

on people's advice on what suits your

features

.

But I thought it would be interesting to try giving myself a head-to-toe

makeover

based on these common conceptions to see how different it is from what I usually do and two. If there's something I can incorporate to flatter myself more, I like that too, so with a combination of a little research and a little help from a couple of experts, stylist and YouTuber Brad Mondo and style guru Stacy London, I'll get a new one. hairstyle, a new outfit and a new face of makeup, all designed to flatter me. Well, specifically my body and also my face.

We go to New York City. The first thing is the hair. I'm here in New York City with Brad Mondo Brad: Hi! Who is a stylist and Youtuber? You may know him from hits like Hairstylist Reacts to America's Next Top Model Makeovers 'Who's Better She or Me?' but she has also made a couple of videos on the best haircuts for your face shape and the best hair color for your skin tone. So I thought he would be the

perfect

expert to help me on my journey. Yes. I am very excited about your hair. This is going to be amazing and we're going to make it perfect for your skin tone and that face shape, honey.

That doesn't mean we'll have to say goodbye to gray hair. But you know, we had a good month. AHA. I spent about five or six weeks on her hair and I feel good. It's unreal. Yes, it has been real. We will say goodbye today. So the first thing was the cut, which I wanted to adapt to the shape of my face. I have to get this hair out of your face. We are going to accentuate its good parts and diminish the bad. parts There are no bad parts, but what it refers to is the sideburns. As far as I can tell, there are six basic face shapes.

You can have combinations or variations of them. But these are the six that people usually start with: they are oval, oblong, round, heart-shaped square, and diamond. To me, you definitely have more of a heart-shaped face because your chin goes inward to a point and then flares out. at the top, so the ideal face shape is an oval for a woman because it is symmetrical in every way with the same width at the forehead and chin since I have a heart-shaped face. The idea behind a perfect haircut would be to give the illusion that I am actually an oval.

What I want to do is take your hair down to your collarbone. Ooh, we left out a little bit of layering around her face just to accentuate the jawline more, keep all the weight a little heavy here to draw attention here and then keep the side part as is. Perfect So before we started the cut, we had to get my hair wet, which was more of a challenge than we expected. First we had a sink malfunction. I do not think it works. Oh, and then when we find a usable sink, can you put it back in there?

Girl, that was a pretty tight squeeze for Brad's thighs. I don't know, that's going to get high. Alright. Oh, it's waking me up. Oh yeah. Oh, that's what I like to feel when we go. And then we were ready to start cutting. I love cutting my hair. It's so satisfying it's almost unbelievable. You had it short. So the last time I got my hair cut was December 2016. Shit. Know that you've done a lot of America's Next Top Model type makeover reactions, but I love when they like to cut it up and give it to the girl and she's like, Nahahahahah like she's crying hysterically. 'Cassandra, why are you crying?' Hello, I love my hair.

I'm not sure my cut was ANTM-level dramatic, but we were actually getting rid of a good amount of hair. Ooh, yeah, it looks so good. I'm going to shave him for this, so it would be a surprise. But listen if it is so. It suits my face shape, I guess we must, we didn't actually end up shaving that day, but we ended up getting to that long bob that He had described, so we ended up cutting it for the most part. Let's get dry. and then I'm going to refine it a little more. I am very excited about the length, I feel much lighter, the ends have been alive for a while.

As the extremes are... They have been living. They have been dying. Yes. They've been dying. Okay, so what's next? Bronze, the color that is now the best part, the most fun part, which we based on my skin undertones, which are the colors that come from beneath the skin to affect its overall tone. These are primarily interpreted as either warm tones, also known as yellow, peach or gold, or cool tones, also known as blue, pink or red, but there are also a couple of wildcard undertone combinations, such as neutral and olive, and honestly, I've never been able to figure out what exactly my nuances are, I know. that in your video where you talked about how to discover your skin tone you said that you would like to look at the veins in your arm.

Yeah, what's that about? Typically blue is cool and greener veins are warmer tones. Looking at my wrists, my veins appear a little blue, which would mean I have cool undertones. But I also see a little bit of green there or at least teal, so we decided. trust my face more than my wrists. I mean, I definitely see paint in your skin, but I also see warmth. So what I'm going to say is that your skin is neutral but cooler. Basically, that means you can practically achieve any hair color. Oh no. So Brad decided we should warm up a little bit with some lighter brown highlights, you know, that really pretty, sunkissed natural looking color.

That will make you look really healthy and glowing. I'm willing to do that. We'll still keep it in the brown family, not too light, but it's nothing different than what you have now. He started by whitewashing the spots where we wanted the 'us' reflections to be. I'm painting a girl. We're just doing some Bob Ross. We had to deal with my natural dark hair as well as the old gray dye. So overall, the bleaching was definitely the most time-consuming step. Tyler: "How would you cut my hair?" "No, no, I like what you're going through. Like I don't like myself" (panicks) Saf: Well, just because if you see what Tyler looks like right now.

Getting back to my hair journey, hello, I finally finished applying the bleach. Oh, you're going blonde and your hair is standing up perfectly. so all we had left to do was rinse. I never thought I would be blonde and yet here we are and we added a little Brown again. Brad: We're definitely going to tone her down, make her a lot darker than she is. So it still seems natural. These are, oh my gosh, wow, but unfortunately, we were running out of time because the YouTube slot closes right at 9 p.m. m. We are the girl who speeds up scalp massage.

I'm a fan. Could you take a moment to appreciate my stance right now? I'm completely horizontal in an only moderately sexual way Brad: sexual makeover video cut Saf: It's more like letting go of the OB/GYN's prenatal stance. We were getting closer to the birth of my new hairstyle. I'm so excited. It's going to be a change. That's what life is all about, right change, Evolution, a personal journey towards death and once that was done, we had to leave. Thanks YouTube for letting us film here, but we're about to get kicked out. So we'll head to Tyler's sister's nearby apartment. to finish the job.

I promised Brad. We're not trying to kidnap you Alright, we're here and Bradish is putting in a second toner, I mean, just darkening it a little bit more and then we're going to do the final cut that we ran into once again. Some trouble trying to wash my hair, which to stay true to form required some contortions and also some abdominal exercises. My core is working. then it was time for some final cuts and layers, a quick blow dry, some curls and an LED panel for a slightly more dramatic reveal. Brad: I can't see with these glasses on (Laughs) But it's fashion.

And finally it was time to see my perfect hair. Wow. It's definitely very different from what we started, but I really like it. I love the length, length is everything and I like these little strands. Oh, it looks great No, I'm just looking. Hello. So in the end, the long layered bob we ended up with adds more weight around my chin and has a bit of side bangs. Remove from my forehead and the lighter brown highlights have warm and cool undertones to vibe with my neutral complexion. Okay, so you'd say this definitely ticks the box for a hair makeover that suits my features, Honey one hundo Posent.

Thank you very much for having change. You killed him. Thank you. Thank you. That was because we both put in a week's worth of high-fives for a strong makeover. So that took care of our perfect haircut, but next we needed to find our perfect outfit. So I'm here with style guru Stacy London. Who will help me figure this out? Stacy: Well, let's try it, let's try it, so basically I'm looking for the "perfect outfit" that best enhances my physical attributes, you know, kind of taking into account my body shape and my skin tone. and like my complexion coloring that kind of thing Yes, Stacy, who has been a stylist for many years and was one of the hosts of the television show what not to wear, is definitely aware of these kinds of feature-based dressing rules, but her real personal guidelines for Styles are more open, every item of clothing, every piece of makeup, every way you cut your hair, which looks great.

By the way, thanks you have to do one of two things. That's the criteria that has to have use value for you and your closet and should bring joy to at least one of you, but ideally to both. I don't know if you can read my mind. Necklace, but claims to be perfect. He does it. Pretty nice, but for the purposes of this video I just want to be like a set of features like a glorified mannequin. Well, let's start with the first thing. How do you dress now? I would call my current style comfortable vampire.

Like I said, that's when I hadn't heard it. Yes. So right off the bat, Stacy let me know that she thought my complexion suited more colors than I normally wear. Stacy: You look incredibly beautiful. skin tone You have big eyes in this hair color This all lends itself to color and one thing people used to do This is like in the 80s is tell you what season you are based on your color Saf: I was I hope you mention this because I never I have been able to understand it. Stacy: That's because people aren't seasons. Seasons are seasons, right?

Saf: There are many old school metaphors used when categorizing a person's characteristics. There are the skin seasons that Stacy mentioned, as well as the fruits and vegetables used when referring to her body shape. Whenever I try to use these metaphors I feel like I'm always stuck between fall and winter getting dyed because I have dark hair but pale skin. And I usually assume pear body shape since I have small breasts, but a decent sized badonk, okay? I know you don't want to do these things. Yeah, would you tell me what season and what fruit it would be that someone else would say, okay?

Stacy: I guess someone would say you're a fall, okay? Saf: Which usually implies that I have a warmer, skewed coloring with dark hair and brown eyes. Stacy: And because I still can't see the shape of your body. I can't tell you what fruit you would be. You are not a utensil either. So I will never call you a spoon, fork or knife. Saf: I don't know. Which is which is that? Stacy: Listen, I'm an old dog. I've heard all the tricks, so to really find out what fruit or what utensil I am, we have to take off this sweatshirt and put on something else and look at your body shape, okay.

So I have my tank top on. Stacy: You actually have my shirt on. That's true. Ah, it's her tank top. Stacy: So here's the thing. I'm looking at your body and it's pretty straight from top to bottom, right? So I won't call you a knife. I'm not going to call you. I don't even know what an upright fruit is, a rhubarb or a celery? That's not a fruit But it's still, um, in the edible area Well, you don't curve down, so I wouldn't call you a banana either Saf: So from the beginning, Stacey concluded that I was more of a knife. , but once I turned to the side, she had a better view of the rump.

Stacy: You have a great butt. (Oh, thank you.) Okay, so we want to fly. II mean these jeans too, just look at this. This is what happens when you're young. There are no wrinkles here. This is what I miss these days. I have to be honest with you now. I'm looking at that and I'd be like oh, okay. Maybe you weigh a little more than you can support your weight in the lower half, but what I would definitely say is that your weight is not in your top hat? No, of course, it's not there, but I mean, but that doesn't mean you don't have good breasts because you do.

One of the things you have going for you when Dora licks your feet is that you have nice broad shoulders, so what? maybe you don't have in terms of breast size, it's still very complimentary in terms of balancing the bottom half with the top. But I don't see a defined waist and that's what I would say would be more determine the way I would look at your body. The truth is that we need to create a waist so that you have what we call a classic feminine shape. Which is curves, now. That doesn't mean you have to have it, but generally speaking, that's the The way clothes are cut for women is very similar to how I had my haircut for oval eyes.

My heart shaped face. Stacy recommended that we find cuts that would change my shape from rhubarb to an hourglass-shaped fruit or vegetable, like a misshapen tomato or something. a bok choy It's like a booty and then like a little hair on top, that's me So I went looking for some waist-defining clothes This is the part about what I shouldn't wear where I can shop by myself Except Stacy no Don't come help me in the end. You could text him though. Stacy: Now that we've established your shape, we know what we want to look for. The easiest and most universal way to create a waist is to find something like a simple dress, like a fit and flare dress.

Saf: This is something interesting. It definitely has a little waist-cinching action. Alright, I'm going to try this on. I think it's the right type of garment that Stacy was recommending, but I feel like the fit isn't perfect. Like the waist was almost too high. The sleeves are a little tight, but I think with the color and I are on the right track in terms of color recommendations. Overall, Stacy mostly agreed with Brad and she thought my skin was pretty neutral. Stacy: You don't have much yellow tone in your skin. You don't have much blue tone in your skin.

I can see you in dark purple, in burgundy and in dark green. This is interesting. There is some shine. There is a little bit of olive green or dull green. There is a stitch at the waist. I guess now I don't think this one fits me in the first place either. My bra is like out and second. It really has no style at the bottom. It sticks more, which is not ideal. But I like the color and the beading, it actually ended up being quite difficult to find a fit and flare dress that fit all of our specifications, so in addition to the fit and flare dresses, Stacy also mentioned that we might like them.

A wide leg pant when you make very skinny jeans. As opposed to something a little bit wider, you end up creating the visual effects that we see this more than we see your entire leg. Good? We want something that creates a longer line. So we went hunting or wide leg pants. Listen, I haven't found it yet, but I smell it. Ryan: You're like a really good shopping shark. "Oh that's good." As a final note, Stacy wanted to emphasize that things would look different with my new hair, especially color-wise. Stacy: It's not that your color dictates what colors you can wear, but you will find that you stand out more in certain neutrals and you stand out more in certain colors based on the fact that you have a new hair color.

Saf: This is true. I haven't really explored anything. I just came to your house with this new hair color. So, well, you came to the right place. After browsing a few stores, I found a pair of pants like that that I thought met all the guidelines. Good. So this is not a dress, but it has a waist mechanism and it has these. The trouser legs are the same width all the way down and are green. It's a pattern, so I'll try it on and see if it might be the one. Alright, this is my green striped jumpsuit.

Don't know. I think I was hoping I would like stripes, but I think I do, and I like this kind of muted green color but not too dark. It's not a dress and it's not really a fit and flare dress. But the top is definitely fitted and then the pant legs are straight down and not tapered at the ends. So he's accomplishing a lot of good things. I'll text a photo of this to Stacy and see what she thinks. Stacy seems to like this jumpsuit and she says the wider leg and vertical line print make you look like a tall glass of water.

I love the focus on the waist. So let's find this guy and then get some props to finish him off. Stacy also recommended that we pick out some gold jewelry. To go with my skin, she wouldn't call it fall, but autumn and also suggested some flat or wedge sandals, so With the outfit purchased, it was time to put the finishing touch on our perfect makeover: the makeup, like this So for the makeup part we decided to use the information we had gathered from Stacy and Brad and combine it with a little research to customize a look around my features.

I read many articles for this, guys I am prepared. So I think the first feature we'll focus on is the eyes. So I'm going to do my eyebrows real quick and then we can talk about how we're going to do it. Flatter my eyes with eyeshadow. So there are two elements to consider here, one is the shape of my eyes and the other is the color of my eyes after looking at a bunch of photos. I have come to the conclusion that I have slightly bulging eyes. I deduced this by looking at everything possible. I shaped the list and then eliminated the others, but they also stress the fact that doe eyes have a lot of space on the eyelids, which I do, and the tips for flattering that type of eye shape are basically, as if many things could be put. on your eyelid so you can apply a large amount of eyeliner.

I can apply a little dark eye shadow. I could do a smoky eye. I could really apply a thick layer because I think the idea of ​​applying your eyeshadow according to the shape of your eyes. is to correct, whatever shape you have, more like a neutral almond eye. On top of that, I have dark brown eyes and there are a few different eyeshadow colors that complement brown eyes. It looks like either of you can go for bold pops of color like cobalt blue or purple or you can do something with a little gold ear like gold copper and green, so since the jumpsuit we have is green I think I'll stick with gold with a little bit of the greenish gold family and I hope that Flatters my eyes and my outfit is fine, so since the instructions were basically crazy.

I don't know if I feel more flattered, but I definitely feel more dramatic. I'll also use this green color from the Pirates of the Caribbean palette that we bought for a video and never made. Alright. These are a couple of eyeshadow colors, but considering I have doe eyes. I will opt for a darker color. They said, what a ham, I'll give you a roast. This is a luau, hahaha. So I'm going to blend it really quickly and then just put on some foundation and concealer. And then we'll move on to blush and lipstick, which depend a lot on my skin undertones.

So we'll talk about those, so again, both Stacy and Brad, when they looked at my skin, said I had overall neutral undertones, but when I went to get a third opinion at Sephora for color, I stood in line at their little scanner facial. He seemed to think it was neutral but slightly warm. The color they initially scanned was 2 and o7, which means about 2 shades of yellow away from the middle, but after some swatches and tests we ended up settling on 1 and o7. So we tried a more neutral tone. I think this looks better, one of the tricky things about having a neutral skin tone.

The thing is, with these makeup advice articles, many of them will simply tell you that you can use whatever you want. But I think in the spirit of having a little lighter hair and Stacy recommends gold jewelry. I'm going to continue down that neutral but slightly warm path, so I'm going to add a little peachy blush. It seems like peach blushes are a universally flattering thing. But also, if you have warmer tones, you should stick with them. warm things is what I'm reading. Well, as we can see, I put in a lot of that. I'm going to blend this a little more so I can diffuse it and then we'll move on to the lips Following the trajectory of the color IQ and the blush we decided to continue down the slightly warm path Generally for warm undertones.

They recommend orange-based lipsticks, such as terracotta, coral or peach. So I chose this brick color. Hi, to finish the look I added a fairly thick eyeliner and a hint of dark green eyeshadow to the outer corner of my lower lash line. So I think that's my full face of makeup based on my features, overall, I like it. I think this look is overall not too far from what I normally do, but I think there are a couple of things that are different, mainly the amount of eyeshadow I have on my eyes and also any type of lower lash situation .

Now that I'm done up, I think it's time to put the three pieces of my perfect makeover together and see how I look. So this is my latest perfect head-to-toe makeover, Ryan: no longer a rhubarb. Saf: Now I'm... Two radishes on top of each other? Ryan: There you have it Ryan: There you have it Saf: this look definitely includes some elements that I currently wear But there are also some things that are newer to me in particular The color palette from top to bottom is much warmer than usual I think that in general this is more like a summer Sofia.

Look, I used to be a snuggly vampire, now I'm a snuggly garden gnome. The shapes, however, I feel like I've at least dabbled in having such long hair before and despite the amount of long-sleeved sweatshirts. I wear, I'm not against cinching my waist. Listen, I'll tell Stacy that this is like a cute human body shape. But sometimes I like to dress like a bat, so maybe we'll do curvy half the time and you know. the other half of the time just Flying Squirrel in terms of what things about this makeover? I will incorporate it in the future.

I'm not sure if I'll really stick with the warmer color palette, but I could definitely see myself keeping my hair short, putting on a little more eyeshadow when I get the chance, and also embracing wide-leg pants. looks very comfortable. I feel very comfortable Regardless of body shape, that's what wide-leg pants have. They feel more like pajamas than tight pants. You are very lucky. You wear gym shorts every day. What's that in terms of this being my perfect makeover? I think it complements my physical characteristics and brings them a little closer to being Ideal and it was a fun experiment overall.

Obviously there is the question of why these ideals or rules exist and I plan to touch on that briefly. They are related to instinctual preferences based on perceived fertility, geometry and also social constructs, but I think that's too much to unravel in this video, so for now I think we can take them at face value and see them more as a starting point . for style or color recommendations and not the be-all and end-all of what you should wear or even what you shouldn't wear correctly Stacy. Thank you all so much for watching and thank you so much to Brad and Stacy for participating in this video.
