00:54held brands accountable for their lack of inclusive shade ranges she has worked with brands like
00:59to face to help expand their foundation ranges and she's done all of this while keeping a really
01:04relatable but strong message on her channel i'm in new york right now but i'm flying at the end of
01:09the
01:09week to la to film with jackie she is actually going to pick my makeup and kind of create a
01:14look
01:14with me based off of the refinery 29 beauty innovator award nominees and winners before we get started
01:21though please make sure you are subscribed down below beauty with me comes out every monday at 11
01:27a.m and i will see you guys in la bye hey guys i am here in sunny sunny la
01:34and i am here to film with
01:37jackie we are going to be shooting soon i'm literally here for 24 hours but it's going to be
01:40so worth it hi guys i am here with jackie anna she needs no introduction as you guys know jackie
01:49is the
01:49recipient of our beauty innovator of the year award thank you because wow i mean it was a
01:55unanimous vote oh that's so sweet you guys have showed me so much support for a very long time so
02:01it really is an honor oh well i'm excited because inspired by your instagram stories slash youtube
02:08videos that you've done where you have your audience choose your makeup look i thought it would be fun to
02:14use some of the beauty innovator award nominees and winners and have you choose a look for me
02:18let's get started i'm ready let's start with foundation okay we got two options here roll up
02:25our sleeves get our hands dirty this is my favorite topic we've got nars natural radiant and then we
02:30have the cosas face oil which is like an indie product it's like a face oil tint very different
02:35vibes here and i'm gonna say go with nars good choice just because nars is the homie you know i
02:42hope
02:42this is still my shape oh sometimes the daylight will snitch on you i kind of feel like i know
02:48what your vibe is but i want you to tell because you know i watch she watches beauty with me
02:53all the
02:54time stuff i do actually refinery 29 is one of my favorite youtube channels i remember watching the
03:00one where you got it was like a two thousand dollar facial and then you put the frozen ice cubes
03:04in your
03:05bad and bougies because i remember when that happened because of that video that was a really
03:10good idea i mean you've been on youtube for 10 years 10 years girl youtube then versus youtube now
03:14is like completely different you could not necessarily be like the most extroverted the loudest
03:21the most outgoing but like still be moderately successful whereas now youtube is kind of you know
03:27trampled over people like me i'm loud like i directly benefit from that don't be discouraged by that
03:33because i mean everything is going to look impossible when you have a goal there's something
03:37for everyone like we don't have to wait for traditional media to set the trends anymore to
03:42tell us what's beautiful what's acceptable what's unacceptable it's like we can create that standard
03:47now so let's move on to concealer we've got urban kale niter and laura mercier ultra long wear oh this
03:53is easy because i'm always going to be a full coverage girl i'm going to go with urban decay because
03:58she's going to give us beats she's going to give us i stayed up till 6 a.m but you
04:02don't need to know
04:02it's none of your business you've gone on record saying before that like you know there was a
04:05period of time when you're on youtube but you didn't feel like you could talk about something
04:09like diversity lack of foundation shade ranges i would be working with the brand and then they
04:14would be like oh don't say dark say rich and i'm just like what what is wrong with the word
04:21dark you
04:22know then the response would be like oh well we don't want to neglect our other followers and i'd be
04:27like but i'm black though so what i really love about your foundation reviews is that you do speak
04:33so in depth about undertone because they get so overlooked yeah they slap one really understand it
04:39no exactly especially for deep dark skin they give us one orange shade and then they're like the shade
04:45is selling and it's like yeah the shade's selling because people are it's the only one only shade they
04:49have and i guarantee you they're probably mixing it with everything in their bathroom cabinet just to make it
04:55work i'm glad that we have way more options than we used to it could be better you really do
05:00hold brands accountable for the disparity there in shade ranges and obviously this year was you
05:05had a physical culmination which was the two-faced collection which was which is amazing you hold
05:11these brands accountable and you always do it i think in a kind way with humor have you had situations
05:17where you know where i'm going with this have you had situations where brands your followers stuff
05:24like that kind of get get angry with you because of that kind of tone you're taking
05:31you know what i feel like look i'm saying this because it is for the betterment of like not just
05:40me
05:40but people who look like me when you come to my channel like did you learn something did you feel
05:45empowered did you feel recognized appreciated and if it comes at the expense of like pissing off
05:54a couple people i'm not worried about that i'm so glad to say that most of the brands i've worked
05:59with and when i say most i mean like 95 are super cooperative like whatever jackie wants they're
06:05like hey you know if you feel like that needs to be relayed then we'll support you wait first of
06:09all
06:09yes come on i want to know what you put what you just put on is it blush which one
06:12this is blush this
06:14is the birth's biggest blush and this is like a bronzer from this indie brand called han oh can i
06:20see that yeah i like it's like rice powder oh it's very interesting a rice powder bronzer i've never
06:26used a rice powder bronzer but i love rice powder exfoliants everyone who's going to watch this video
06:31is going to comment on the hyaluronic acid because that's all i talk about on twitter hyaluronic acid
06:35and spf those are like my two favorite things your favorite and kombucha oh this is ali this is a
06:40georgio armani this is an easy one i'm obsessed with the jellybean highlighters i mean i can't
06:44even really do much more than this it's so gross i love it though it looks so slurpable it's just
06:51straight up like the fact that you're i'm like really nervous that we're dead we're doing this
06:56right now you're a full-on barbara walters mode but also blending like how i think you can add more
07:03if you're comfortable with it let's do it beat face with me instead of beauty with me beat with me
07:09beat with me oh my god oh yeah i like the fact that you put more on wait can you
07:15give us a side
07:15shot so they can see this glow it looks so good i like it eye time we got some we
07:22got some options
07:22we have the stila vivid and vibrant eyeshadow duos we have the glitters these are lemon head glitters
07:30and then we have the mark jacobs there's other shades of the stila too yes we have all the shades
07:35something between these two they're both jewel tones yes you know what i like this one yeah
07:43let's do it okay wait if you're feeling spicy though maybe you can add a little green like on
07:47the lower lash line yes let's do it we'll mix them what would jackie do i would take the darker
07:53shade
07:54and blend that on my crease okay it might be quite dark on you so i would start super light
07:58super light
07:59and blend your way up that would be my crease it's so cute so far i like the color okay
08:04what's next
08:04okay so let's go with the glittery pink on the lid okay treaty finger situation i love blending with my
08:12fingers whoa that pigment though it is they're really pigmented new shades damn damn did y'all see this
08:19pigment though wow that's really really really pigmented that was like one swipe are there makeup
08:26techniques that you have learned in your 10 plus years of doing makeup that now looking back you're
08:32like why did i do that there's a lot first of all i shaved off on my all my eyebrows
08:40when i was like
08:4111. probably not one of the smartest decisions i think most of us have had an experience like that
08:46no sis not okay she needed a lot of prayer back then but who knows like 10 15 years from
08:54now we might
08:54be like what were we thinking i know i may look at my face now like girl what were you
09:00thinking damn
09:01okay what else should i do should i do more to do yes we always go for a little bit
09:06more so i want
09:08to see a little pop of color along your bottom lash line are you comfortable with that let's do it
09:13which one okay this one looks a little too frosty for the bottom i think we should go with this
09:17one
09:17let's do it jewel tone it's very sexy what is one product that dennis always steals from you oh my
09:25god dennis leave my masks the hell alone oh my god he's always stealing my mask he loves a good
09:32skincare moment and girl this color looks so good on you i really like the combo it's not too matchy
09:37matchy because you know some people feel like they have to get a little match monoclon yeah they feel
09:41like they have to match exactly the color of their hair if they have like a fashion color but
09:45this is really cute yeah all right we're gonna build it we're gonna build it build it up honey
09:50what's one thing that you wish people knew about creators that they don't know
09:54or a misconception oh that were that were human i would want someone to critique me the way that i
09:59critique brands it's always done in a pretty professional and thoughtful way to where it's like okay
10:06i'm not trying to like rip this person to shreds i'm or this brand i should say and i just
10:12a lot
10:12of times wish that that was reciprocated to me as a creator but then again even jesus had haters so
10:18hey
10:18we got some eyeliners do we have to use eyeliner we don't have to use eyeliner i don't want to
10:22use
10:22eyeliner the eye is so pretty on its own i just want to see the shadow eyeliner it's the star
10:29of the
10:29look you're canceled for today but we are gonna do mascara and i'm gonna be biased i'm gonna pick my
10:35new
10:35recent favorite obsessed it's so climax mascara from nars it's so good i feel like this is the
10:40one in be all mascara like you get volume you get length you get thickening and there aren't a lot
10:46of mascaras that do all of that at once this is me and you hey okay i'll just talk to
10:51you right here
10:51you know when you get a brand new mascara and it's really okay i know it's gonna sound really
10:55inappropriate you know it's like really wet yep no pun climax we're not gonna go there all right guys
11:00but i like the fact that this one is slightly not dry you know not every mascara has to hit
11:06that peak
11:06after you have to like open it and you gotta like wait you gotta use it for like a couple
11:10weeks and
11:11then it's like perfect this mascara it's already it's already at its climax like when you first
11:16are using it that's what i love about it i see what you did i think that's where it's at
11:19the climax i
11:20have like no bottom eyelashes and that's the hardest thing you like have like 100 i will donate them to
11:25you it's always better to have more hair than not enough hair i'll tell that to my armpits because
11:33i'm really hairy your eyes look so good okay only tip i would suggest is adding a little more blush
11:41okay let's kind of balance it out let's balance it out really and the fact that it's like a peachy
11:46orange blush is going to coordinate with that crease color i always try to match my blush color to what's
11:51in my crease and then i always try to match my crease color it's my blush to my lip it
11:57does kind
11:57of bring everything together it does it almost kind of like yeah people aren't like you are matching
12:02exactly something's going on here and i'm liking it we kicked it up a notch kicked it up a notch
12:07shout
12:07out to burt's bees that's cute you highlighted pretty early in the face at what face usually that's
12:14like the second to last thing i do so i'll do bronzer blush highlight then i'll do my lip and
12:18then i'm done
12:19that's funny because i always think about it like let's say the whole base but now that i'm
12:23thinking about it actually makes sense because you're gonna see it with the eyes on so you know
12:27how much to apply exactly we're gonna do lip okay we have got to do we have i already know
12:33the choice
12:33i mean i already know what i know what you're going to pick i'm obsessed with mademoiselle honestly i feel
12:38like it's besides her complexion products i feel like it's fenty's hero product oh that's cute
12:45i like it a lot really cute and they are really really opaque they are like they go on really
12:49nicely yes and my lips are so dry right now who are you telling my lips are always dry we
12:58got some
12:58scenting sprays yes can i do it can you mist me yes first we're gonna do you have to do
13:02a couple
13:03practice yeah we don't ever want to just go straight in guys when you're like oh and i might need
13:07a look
13:07yes touch up extra myself this is the all-nighter because we're trying to stay up all night girl
13:15it looks so good i like it i love it
13:22do you think there's a responsibility for creators for influencers people who have followings to be
13:27pushing their industry forward yes yes i mean i believe to whom much is given much is required
13:34there's a reason why you have all of these eyes watching you and it benefits not only you but future
13:42generations to use it responsibly balance out the fact that you have all of these opportunities and
13:49money and people following you at least balance it out and maybe bring someone up with you or give back
13:54to your community i usually vibe more and connect more with people of influence that it's not just about
14:00and like building themselves up it's about what are they doing for other people like i love seeing
