00:00oh sorry hey guys I'm Kat Dennings today I'm gonna show you a huge amount of makeup products
00:21that I brought with me in a little bag oh my god there's so much in here look here's a tiny little
00:29pouch in this pouch there are many assorted lip products also a tiny little foundation compact
00:52oh sorry that didn't go how I was hoping it would go
01:04okay first I have to unload the rest of my stuff this is everything I brought with me
01:11I have one of everything in here here we have my oh it's got hair on it hold on a second
01:18here we have my special little french brush I just bought it's called oh my god my eyesight oh
01:26I bought this brush because Instagram knows that I wanted a nice hairbrush because I've never had
01:40like a nice hairbrush before it's very pricey but it's worth it it's really really amazing I bought
01:46my mom one for Christmas if this brand wants to send me free brushes I will not refuse I really
02:00was obsessed with makeup from like a very young age and I wanted to wear makeup so badly and I
02:05wasn't allowed to and my mom had a horrible little cold lipstick that she got it well it used to be
02:12called fresh fields that it became whole foods that's how old I am it was like a hippy dippy
02:17product it was like a cold then I snuck in her bathroom constantly and put on this cold lipstick
02:22it looked horrible on me but I was so obsessed with it and it really like made me feel so grown up
02:29and I couldn't wait for my own lipstick and now look at me
02:32I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I have some face products in here which I already done but this is a
02:42moisturizer I really like it's also very fancy
02:45I use this almost every day under makeup I have a few that I rotate but this is a really good everyday
02:53one let's see if uh oh all right let's see what I can get out of here oh yeah this is my finishing
03:00touch which I'll do uh last but this is my perfume that I really love it's so pretty it's called Delina
03:06and Snoop Dogg also wears this so shout out Snoop Dogg
03:10I learned how to do makeup the old-fashioned way from a book
03:17a physical book called Making Faces by the legendary makeup artist Kevin O'Kwan
03:23in it he shows you how to do basically everything like I learned how to overline from Kevin O'Kwan
03:29and how to do like a cat eye and how to like sculpt your face and make different shapes and stuff
03:35he would make like Gwyneth Paltrow into like
03:38Marilyn Monroe or something and do like a photo shoot so he would really teach you how to
03:44change your face and I would put diagrams in there and I would just copy it
03:48and I kind of still do all the same stuff now
03:51my husband's here don't get any ideas
03:56all right let's see if I can extract this very cute makeup bag out of here
04:03eye cream
04:04I use the eye cream usually at night
04:08oh that's good
04:10that's a good one
04:15also sometimes if I want like a subtle highlight I'll use eye cream instead of something with shimmer
04:23a makeup artist taught me that
04:26brushes
04:29the brand Tata Harper sent this to me
04:36oh wait I wanted to show you this
04:38it's a little swan like pencil sharpener
04:42isn't that so freaking cute
04:44I got this from Catbird
04:46made in Poland
04:47okay
04:49very good gift I think it was like $8
04:51cute stocking stuffer idea
04:54okay I'll just go through my like daily makeup products
04:58I really like
04:59the um
05:00new benefit foundation
05:02the porefessional foundation in the color
05:051C
05:07which is the lightest they make
05:08obviously
05:09I've been using this
05:10for a few months
05:13I think they just came out with it
05:15and it's really great
05:16it's really really good
05:17I love it
05:18and it's like the perfect color for me
05:20and when you're like
05:21very pale
05:22sometimes the undertone can look
05:24very obviously wrong
05:26so this is like
05:27perfect for me
05:27which I love
05:28okay guys
05:29it's really getting serious
05:30oh yeah
05:32here are my eye drops
05:34I no longer take my contacts out
05:41in front of a live studio audience
05:43because I've discovered beta blockers
05:45and I use those instead
05:47but before that
05:48I used to take my contacts out
05:50because I had a fear of like
05:52performing in front of an audience
05:53because I had never done it before
05:54I never did theater or anything
05:56and now I'm much
05:57I'm much more calm
05:59and used to it
05:59I feel like I should do my lips

16:12okay
16:13hi hi
16:13this has put
16:15my husband
16:15into a deep
16:16slumber
16:17okay
16:19god I guess
16:20I guess I
16:21would do
16:21David Bowie's
16:22nails
16:22I feel like
16:24he'd be down
16:25for some
16:25designs
16:26I like those
16:27foil ribbons
16:29they're those
16:29really tiny
16:30foil ribbons
16:31that you can
16:31make stripes and
16:32stuff out of
16:33that's very cute
16:34let's see if he
16:35was interested
16:35I struggle
16:38with uh
16:39with lashes
16:40a lot
16:40because I
16:41have such
16:42tiny lashes
16:43I definitely
16:44don't like
16:45gluing
16:46stuff for my
16:47eyes because
16:48I just
16:48inevitably
16:49do it wrong
16:50somehow and
16:51I get glue
16:51everywhere and
16:52I mess up my
16:52line and
16:53then you know
16:53but I found
16:54these magnetic
16:55lashes they
16:56make magnetic
16:57lashes now
16:58they're not all
17:00great but I
17:00found one that's
17:01really great I
17:01didn't have it
17:02but you
17:02basically just
17:03clamp it and
17:04you don't need
17:04glue and it
17:05stays on forever
17:06until you take
17:06it off
17:06I love the
17:09um covergirl
17:11lip stains
17:13also they
17:14are very
17:15inexpensive and
17:16they're like a
17:17marker and
17:18let's see I
17:18think this
17:19actually goes
17:19with what I'm
17:20wearing anyway
