I m Tinashe and I m gonna show you

some of my beauty secrets.

Should I do foundation?

It kinda looks like I should.

I don t like to put too much on my skin.

I don t like to cover up my freckles.

Just a little.

Hey, good morning.

I m using a beauty blender, which is like my favorite thing

for foundation because it just makes the skin

probably look the most natural.

I definitely just like a really thin layer

just to cover up any under eye bags,

make everything look a little bit more even.

Some brows.

I m gonna brush em out first

just how I want them.

I use the Chanel pencil, which I really love.

Fill em in a little bit, enhance em.

Enhance those babies.

I don t wax my eyebrows anymore.

I used to when I was like 13 years old.

Don t do it kids.

I just kind of pluck a few stray hairs,

but I try not to do too much to my brows.

Are they even?

Okay.

I am a huge, huge fan of blush.

I think it makes me look awake.

It really brings a lot of color to my skin.

Just a little on your cheeks.

A little contour up here.

Boom.

I ve pretty much learned how to contour

and to do makeup by observing other makeup artists

that do my makeup.

To finish off the skin,

let s do a tiny touch of highlight.

A little sparkle and shine.

This is more kind of like my day to day look.

When I m on stage I want lashes, I want drama,

I want deep eyes, I want way more contour,

definitely way more highlights

cause I want it to sparkle in the lights.

So on my casual days, I really kind of like

to use a bronzer as a eye shadow

so we re gonna take some of this bronzer

and just right in the crease.

Just a little bit of depth to the eyes.

Now we re gonna do a little liner.

I think it makes my eyes really pop.

This is how I do my wings.

Draw a cute little line

and flick it up.

A little flick.

Don t get too crazy girls.

Boom, liner.

Last thing we re gonna do to the eyes,

good old mascara.

Everyone s favorite product.

I like to get like deep in the lash bed

cause I think it looks the most full.

Last but not least, lips.

You just want a little bit of lip color.

A little goes a long way.

And voila, there you go, there you have it.

A nice little day to day look.
