00:00And since, like, 2016, it was all, like, about, like, beating the face to the gods.
00:05What do you feel like the, like, signature for 2026 is?
00:08Like this, like, it's sculpted, but it's undetectable, kind of, you know what I mean?
00:13It's like, it's there, but I think everybody wants it to look effortless.
00:17And, like, the skin has that, like, dew and that shine to it.
00:20The structure's there, the, like, rosiness of the cheeks is there,
00:23but everything, like, looks really hydrated, looks really fresh.
00:26In 2016, it was, like, you spent a long time on your makeup.
00:31So long.
00:32Like, I love a little baking.
00:34Yeah.
00:34Like, under the eye.
00:35Because I feel like my concealer always, like, settles in to, like, fine lines if I don't powder under my
00:41eye.
00:42But then, like, letting the perimeter of the face shine.
00:44Yeah, totally.
00:45Or, like, I always, like, a little powder, like, right here, right here, under the eye,
00:48a little bit on the center of the forehead.
00:50But I love this, like, the new 2016 kind of makeup.
00:53It's, like, has all the beautiful color of those beautiful eyeshadow looks from back then.
00:58But even, like, the way it's done is I feel more diffused now.
01:02You know what I mean?
01:02Everything's, like, really beautifully blended.
01:05And there was, like, a really hard cut crease in 2016, I feel like.
01:08Oh, yeah, I remember people putting, like, literal tape on their face to get the cut crease.
01:11Like, it was, like...
01:12And the block brows and stuff.
01:13I'm not going to lie.
01:14I was kind of scared for my career back then.
01:17Because it was just so different than the makeup I did.
01:20Yeah.
01:20I was, like, oh, my gosh, am I going to be out of a job soon?
01:22It was, like, YouTube makeup.
01:23It was jarring.
01:24Yeah, and, like, nobody on the red carpets was doing makeup like that, really.
01:28So pretty.
01:28Like, how does it feel?
01:29It feels like I don't have anything on.
01:31Feels great, right?
01:32Yeah.
01:32Should we put a little lip on you?
01:33Oh, my God, I love the lip-siggies.
01:35I just think they're so...
01:37Like, do you feel like lip-siggies is, like, the return of party girl makeup?
01:40Like, there's just something so hot about it.
01:41I hope so.
01:43I wanted something, like, super thin that, like, fit in everybody's bag.
01:46We found this, like, really thin component.
01:47And I was just, like, this is so cute.
01:49It looks like a cigarette.
01:50So I'm going to use our shade Bittersweet.
01:53Okay.
01:53And I'm going to do a little overlining.
01:55I mean, I feel like I've been overlining, like, since high school.
01:58Like, it was just, like, a part...
01:59I was telling one of my friends the other day.
02:01I was, like, I could tell who you were friends with in high school by, like, the way you wear
02:03your makeup.
02:04So now I like to take the small side of the dual-ended underpainting brush and kind of soften
02:09the liner.
02:10I'm going to use the lipstick.
02:11This is my favorite color.
02:12It's called Love Bites.
02:13I always love the look of, like, rosy kind of color your lips get after you've been,
02:17like, making out a lot.
02:19It's, like, making out, drinking red wine.
02:21Yes.
02:21It's, like, super sheer.
02:22Your skin looks so pretty.
02:24Yeah.
02:24I would just, like, put, like, a little bit of powder in places.
02:27And that's it.
02:28Little blush.
02:29To me, like, if the skin looks good, then the eyes and stuff is just fun.
02:33And are you a skin-first or an eye-first person?
02:35Skin-first.
02:36Yeah.
02:36That's why, you know, underpainting first, we release, and now foundation.
02:40It's the order I go in.
02:41And do you do the same on you as you do on your clients?
02:44Like, the same order?
02:45Always start with skin first.
02:46Because if the skin doesn't look good, I can't focus on anything else.
02:48I mean, I love it.
02:49It looks so skin-like and so...
02:52And it, like, feels nice, right?
02:53It feels so good, especially it's, like, we were talking about this earlier.
02:56The feel-like temperature today, I think, is, like, one.
03:00My skin does not feel like it's that.
03:02And you can use this without underpainting.
03:03Like, you can just, like, put a pump in your hands, put it on, like, moisturizer over your moisturizer, and
03:08go to work like that.
03:09If people want to buy this, play for themselves, where can they find it?
03:12We are exclusively at Sephora or mphbeauty.com.
