00:00Breezy, I don't know if you're ready for this, but you might want to clear the way.
00:02Hi, I'm Emily.
00:03Hi, I'm Breezy.
00:04And for the next three days, Breezy and I are attempting the Makeup Swap Challenge.
00:09And to give you a little context on this challenge, we both have very different beauty routines.
00:14Take me through what you carry in your makeup bag every day.
00:17Okay, so, here it is.
00:20So small.
00:22So, oop, okay, alright, oh, okay.
00:24I have mascara, eyelash curler.
00:29That's my friend, I can deal with this.
00:30Eyelash curler, mascara.
00:31I have some concealer.
00:33Ah.
00:33Just like some lip moisturizer, like sometimes a tinted like lip moisturizer and that's it.
00:41So about how long does this all take you in the morning?
00:44So I'll wash my face and then put moisturizer on and then this takes about 5-10 minutes.
00:52Whew.
00:52Mine takes a bit longer than that.
00:54So I'll start with the big guys first, we have these two palettes.
00:59Oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:01I'll start with like washing my face, a serum, a moisturizer, let that sink in.
01:05Play a little One Direction, Justin Bieber in the background.
01:07I typically start with a foundation.
01:09So after I do the foundation, I'll typically launch into like a couple just neutral eyeshadow
01:13colors.
01:14My eyeliner, I always fill in my eyebrows.
01:16That is one thing that I am religious about.
01:18Do you fill in your eyebrows at all?
01:19No.
01:19Oh, what am I gonna do?
01:20So then I like to add in a little bronzer that you can just kind of sweep on your cheeks,
01:23sweep on the other side and get that warmth, get that summer glow.
01:27Uh-huh.
01:27Some mascara and sometimes if I need it to be extra, I'll add in two layers.
01:31I'll normally end with like some sort of lip liner.
01:33Yeah, so that's kind of the whole routine.
01:35Wow.
01:36Uh-huh.
01:36Well, you lost me at foundation.
01:38I actually did make you a step-by-step.
01:40Oh my gosh.
01:42Routine.
01:42Just to kind of give you.
01:43This is actually really helpful.
01:43Yeah, just to give you a step-by-step quick 14 steps and then you're done.
01:47Easy breezy.
01:48Quick 14.
01:48Easy breezy.
01:50Easy breezy.
01:52It's day one.
01:53Good morning, friends.
01:54It's Emily Curl here and this is day one.
01:57I am currently wearing no makeup.
01:59This is what I have to put on.
02:04I've never applied foundation before.
02:07Oh, Emily, how do you do this every day?
02:11So, breezy says she wears concealer, mascara, and a little bit of lip tint.
02:16So, that's exactly what I'm going to do today too.
02:19I just don't, I think I'm fucking up.
02:21I got some eyeshadow on, but I'm also realizing that like on this side, the contour looks like
02:27a five o'clock shadow.
02:28So, I did the eyebrows.
02:30It seems like it's a lot.
02:34Okay, so, guess I'm ready.
02:37I'm late for work.
02:39Okay guys, so I just wrapped day one.
02:42So, I have felt a little naked all day.
02:44And even this morning, I had this fear that no one was going to recognize me.
02:48I got a lot of reactions today at work.
02:51A lot of people said that I looked really good, but I also like, they were like surprised
02:57to see me because they're so used to seeing me without it.
03:00Good morning, friends.
03:01Let me tell you, so last night I did go out with a few friends.
03:03So, typically today would be one of those days where I'd wake up and do a bit more to cover
03:08the bags under my eyes or to give myself a spunky like little cat eye or something to distract
03:13from the fact that I'm a little tired today.
03:15But instead, super natural.
03:18So, I have my concealer on, my mascara, some lip tint, and I'm about to go off to work.
03:24Okay, so I tried a different look.
03:26I had some white eyeliner, so I thought I'd try that.
03:29And I had like a darker lip.
03:32Um, everything else is about the same.
03:36So, we're in the equipment room right now where you can see all of our seamless rolls.
03:41So, we're getting ready to shoot a video.
03:44And let me tell you, this will be my first time going on camera totally barefaced.
03:50Well, some concealer and some mascara.
03:53So, I'm feeling one of two ways.
03:55One, a little bit nervous because this is a time where I'd be touching up, applying that
04:00extra lip color.
04:01Two, do I feel like myself?
04:03I'm not sure.
04:04Good morning, friends.
04:05It is the last day three.
04:07Here's the final look.
04:09I did a silver eyeliner and I did a red lipstick because, you know, let's just go out with a
04:15bang.
04:16I think one of the big takeaways I learned was so much of my confidence and identity and
04:23like self-assurance comes from how I look and how I feel like others perceive me.
04:28I don't know, I just felt like I was just a touch less myself and a bit more worried
04:32on the outside world.
04:33We just finished the three-day makeup swap challenge.
04:36I'm wearing makeup again and feeling a bit more like myself.
04:39Breezy, how are you feeling?
04:40I'm also feeling much more like myself.
04:43So, before we get into like the nitty-gritty of the experiment, what are just your top line
04:48thoughts about it?
04:49So, I learned a lot about myself and identity through the experience.
04:54I had similar feelings in the sense that I do feel like so much of like my identity
05:00and how I present myself comes across in like how I do my makeup or the things that I wear.
05:05Like I had my shoulders hunched a little more or like I wasn't quite as confident to like
05:09hit the subway or go out on the town.
05:11I actually too felt like not as confident with a ton of makeup on.
05:16That's so interesting.
05:17Because I like wasn't myself so I like felt less confident in that way.
05:22But I did get to experiment more and like over the three days I did adapt the like style
05:28kind of a little bit more to what I wanted.
05:31Breezy was rocking this white eyeliner one day and I was jealous.
05:34I was like, is she doing my routine better than I do my routine?
05:37I just, I really went for it.
05:38I did have a ton more free time in the mornings.
05:41I had to wake up like an hour earlier every day and I was late to work all three days.
05:47I was ready truly in 15 minutes every single morning.
05:50So today, now that it's all over, my regular routine is now a little bit more intense because
05:55now I'm adding a little more concealer and like I might play with eyeliner more regularly.
06:00So I think the big takeaway here is that you can do whatever the hell you want.
06:05Thanks so much for following along on our journey.
06:07We'll see you next time.
