00:00Hey guys, it's MeeAnne, and this is Beauty With Me.
00:02A few months ago, Lipstick Queen launched a black blush.
00:06That's right, a black blush, people.
00:08The product goes on black, but it's supposed to turn into this beautiful, flattering rose hue.
00:14And it got me thinking, what other magical black products exist in the beauty world?
00:18Turns out, there are quite a lot.
00:21I'm gonna try them out on my face for you, but before we get started,
00:25have you subscribed to our YouTube channel yet?
00:26If not, please hit subscribe below so we can hang out every single Monday.
00:30So, without further ado, feast your eyes on the all-black makeup look.
00:34First things first, the black blush.
00:37I've never tried this before, so...
00:39Okay, it is very black, and it's a little sparkly.
00:44I'm gonna put my finger in it.
00:45It's definitely black, but you can see all this nice little rosy color that's coming out.
00:50That's pretty.
00:51As I'm rubbing it in, actually, it looks really pretty.
00:53Look at that.
00:54It's very sheer.
00:55So, I'm gonna put this on my face with my fingers on one side and a brush with the other
01:00side.
01:01It's going on very smoothly.
01:04I will say, it's kind of an intense rosy color.
01:08Like, I definitely look very flushed right now.
01:12It's definitely not black, so that's good.
01:15Getting some product on my brush.
01:16It's going on pretty black.
01:19Ooh, okay.
01:21I usually don't wear blush this intense.
01:24First application of the blush, I definitely went really intense with it.
01:28So, I used a little bit of this IT Cosmetics concealer to tone it down a little on my cheeks.
01:36Next up is something I'm very scared to use.
01:41The Eclipse Highlighter by Ritual Defeat.
01:44It's completely black.
01:45Like, look at that.
01:46Look at that.
01:47Look at that.
01:48It's, like, completely black.
01:49I really don't think this is gonna work on my cheekbones.
01:52As you can see, this is not transforming into a flattering rosy hue.
01:57So, I'm gonna put this on my face as you would a normal highlighter,
02:00but my hunch is this is actually a pigment that's supposed to be used,
02:04kind of multi-purpose all over the face.
02:06This is not working.
02:13This is not the look, guys.
02:15But, like, when you blend it out, it's not so bad.
02:17I'm going to take this off my cheek, though.
02:19And I'm gonna use it elsewhere on my face.
02:24Oh, that's pretty.
02:24It's kind of like an instant smokey eye.
02:27An instant glossy smokey eye.
02:29In terms of, like, the eye application, I think it's really beautiful.
02:32Next up, I have this amazing-looking eye foil from Victoria Beckham
02:38and her collection with Estée Lauder.
02:40I've never tried it, but look at that.
02:42It looks like straight-up soot in a pot.
02:45I'm very excited about it.
02:47So, I just put a bunch of matte warm brown eyeshadow all over my eyes.
02:51And, in theory, I'm hoping that when I put the black sooty eye foil on top,
02:57it'll look soft, but also really smoky and glossy.
03:01So, that's the goal.
03:02Hopefully it works out.
03:04Moment of truth, guys!
03:07I'm gonna go in a little bit more on my lash line just to intensify it even further.
03:12Look how intense that is.
03:14It's so intense.
03:15Okay.
03:16I'm going to buff out the edges a bit so that it's not so stark, the contrast.
03:21Then I'm gonna put a little bit of dark eyeshadow underneath my lash line to finish the look.
03:30Okay.
03:31A little intense for the day.
03:33I would 100% wear this out.
03:35So, last but certainly not least are these two products from Givenchy that I'm very, very excited about.
03:42I mean, look at this.
03:43It's a straight-up black lipstick.
03:46And this is a black lip liner.
03:50These ones are supposed to transform into really flattering hues.
03:54So, I'm gonna swatch it.
03:55This is the lip liner.
03:56It's definitely pretty gray.
03:59Then, this is the Givenchy lipstick.
04:02So, let's see how this goes.
04:04Ooh!
04:05That was pretty.
04:07I'm going to line.
04:12This is so black.
04:16Second attempt, just the lipstick.
04:19So, this is the lipstick on.
04:21I did a little bit of research and this lip liner is supposed to be used to create contrast in
04:26your lips.
04:26So, I'm going to try that.
04:28I don't think it's doing much, but I will say that I really like the lipstick and it does feel
04:34really good.
04:35So, this is the finished look.
04:36It's definitely a more sophisticated version of what I used to wear in middle school,
04:41which was really just a lot of black eyeliner on my bottom lash line.
04:45It wasn't very cute.
04:46The lipstick is really beautiful and very comfortable.
04:51If you want something that you can put on in a hurry,
04:53maybe without a mirror, this is a really good option.
04:56The lip liner, though, was a bit of a different story.
04:58I think I was expecting more of a transformation when, in reality, there wasn't much of a change.
05:06I love the gloss.
05:08I don't know if you could tell when I was putting it on.
05:09It's just so glittery and pretty and pigmented.
05:13It is $40, though, which is really expensive for one eye product.
05:17But if you love smoky eyes and that's, like, the thing, I think you would adore this product.
05:24I'm very confused by this one.
05:26I don't think that I would use it as a highlighter at all, but I do really like it on
05:30the eyes.
05:31And last but not least, we have the product that started it all.
05:35I liked it.
05:36I don't think it's one that I would wear every single day,
05:38but it is really pretty if you go in with a light hand.
05:42So that is all the black makeup done.
05:45That was kind of an adventure.
05:46So let me know what you guys think in the comments below
