psa: you're not using your makeup collection to its fullest potential

Transcript

your makeup game is being held back because you only think about how products will look on their own and not about how they can interact with other products. For example, this black glittery gloss is one of my most used lip products, but that doesn't mean I'm rocking black lips every day. Most of my lip collection actually consists of lighter, brighter pinks like this KIKO Milano gloss, which I chose for this look because I really wanted a glittery gloss with this eye, but I think it's a bit too light, it's a little more spring than sultry, and that's where the Half Magic Beauty black gloss comes in. I just dab a little on my lower lip and mix it in, and this just makes any lip color a little muted, a little darker, and more suited to intense dark looks like the one I have on in this video. This is the before and this is the after. Guys, it's just like styling clothes, it's not about the individual pieces, it's about how everything in your closet can work together.
