Hi, guys, I m Anitta,

and today, I m gonna show you guys my beauty secrets,

and show you how I do my own make-up for red carpets,

or sometimes for shows, concerts,

and I say that when I wanna feel like pretty as I am,

which is a lie because I m full of plastic surgeries,

but I say that as a natural beauty, make-up, okay?

Let s start.

So first of all, gonna wash my face with this.

Okay, now.

Okay, face is clean.

So now I use this.

I don t know the name.

I don t know, even in Portuguese.

I don t know how I call this thing,

but whatever.

I put it here.

It s gonna help to leave my face a little bit more matte.

To start with the foundation,

I use different types of foundation.

I don t know why I feel better if I mix

a lot of stuff in my face.

Yeah, it s a lot,

but I just mix all of them on my face,

straight on my face, I don t care.

I always do my make-up for everything that I do.

I m kinda used to this.

Sometimes, I mean, I m going to some place

and the flight s delayed or something,

so sometimes I need to do my make-up on the private jet,

sometimes in the car, in the van.

Yeah, I ve done it in crazy place.

So I just mix it all.

I watch no tutorials.

I asked no one.

I just started to try myself

and go into the stores and ask, like,

what do I do with this?

What do I do with that?

And so I started to learn,

and when I made mistakes, like doing my make-up

and lookin at the pictures after

and seeing that it was terrible,

then I started to learn how it does,

and how can I not do the mistakes I was doing.

Another concealer.

Yeah, it s a heart.

So beautiful.

You must be crazy that every woman does the make-up

in a different way, right?

Okay, so now I m gonna do this with powders,

so this one.

So I start doing the white one, kinda white.

Lighter.

I put here what I just put the concealer.

I put the lighter one,

the white one, where I just put the concealer.

I used to do, in the beginning, when I was learning,

I used to do my eyes really strong.

I didn t know how to smoke my eyes,

so it was really like, pshoww.

With the brown ones.

Another thing that I do is I do in my nose, too.

I use the same brown thing that I was using before

for the rest of the face,

and I just come here like designing my nose.

Design is really good.

Designing my nose.

Now, with my eyebrows.

I like it lighter than my eyebrows really are, so.

Now, I just use like a powder.

Everything that I do, I like to mix colors.

I love a matte look.

I don t like to look shiny.

I don t know if it s because my skin is, like,

really all your skin.

In the end of the day, you think I can make French Fries

in my face,

so I love a matte face.

In Brazil, I don t know if it s only in Brazil,

but they love to have this place here

really really shine,

so I do it, too.

And I do it with a shine.

It s not a glitter and has no color.

It s just like, it looks like white,

but it s, in the end, when you mix,

I guess the color that you have already,

so you re gonna shine a little bit.

Brazilians love make-up and they put a lot.

It s not like, oh, just regular thing, no.

Okay, I really use this one, you see?

So I use this one, that is more like brown here.

And over it, cause in the end,

I m gonna mix a little bit,

so it s not gonna be so strong.

And, then I put a pink one,

but I use the same brush.

So I put this thing here.

Okay, now the skin is done, tsk,

and I m ready for the eyes.

I start putting a brown that is like almost done.

I gotta get a new one.

Like, these both.

I m always mixing colors,

so I just don t get only one,

just a little bit of these two.

This is like the base of everything, you know,

and from here, we can do colorful things like

whatever kind of make-up you wanna do.

Again, same color.

I m gonna mix this shine thing,

like it s basic, the color I m putting here,

but like, it s gonna shine a little bit more,

so I just get a little bit and I just put here.

This shine is not so strong, so that s why I like it.

It looks natural.

The same thing I do here but not that much.

Now I m gonna get the color that we want,

like a little bit of light pink,

something natural, just to look like a princess.

Now I m gonna choose this one that is a little bit pink,

and I m gonna mix with this one on the top.

I ma use this stronger one to the crease.

And I like to have the same brush I used before.

I smoke a little bit with my fingers.

Same thing with the stronger one.

I m gonna do underneath my eyes

but then I put a little bit more stronger,

cause I really like it.

The same thing that I put here,

I get this really really really thin skinny brush,

and I put here.

I learned how to speak English.

What helped me was movies, music.

I always practice with this,

so that s the real way I learned with music and movies.

I m just takin out my shine,

cause it kind of freaks me out

when I see that I m shiny again.

You see my skin is really oily.

I just have the powder like I have myself on, you know?

Every time I look at myself and I m shiny.

I just, I freak out.

Okay, so now the eyelashes.

I have this specifically eyelashes I like to have.

Get the glue.

I put an eyelash on.

I just do it with my eyes open.

It s easier.

[jazzy music]

I do this without light.

It s crazy.

After some years,

I mean, I do a lot of things in my life.

I sing in English, I sing in Spanish,

I sing in Portuguese,

I do concerts in Brazil, I fly to Latin American countries,

I go to Europe.

I do so many things at the same time,

that I need to learn how to do all the things

at the same time in the crazy situations,

so my make-up sometimes, I do in crazy situations.

So I started, my life was pretty simple in my beginning.

I use to live in a favela here in Brazil.

You guys know what is a favela?

It s like a slum, like the ghetto part of the country,

of the city,

and I used to sing in these favela parties,

like irregular parties.

Let me concentrate a little bit here.

I have here the make-up with one eyelash.

What I like to do is put two I m obsessed with eyelashes.

Here in Brazil if you don t have money,

it s really hard for you to get education

and the arts part, you know, music, language, movies,

that s really hard,

but then I realize, there was this one song that I did,

that got huge in Brazil.

I wrote this song.

I did the music video,

and the song talks about powerful women,

and there s a lot of types of women in the video.

I started to do lyrics about this

with this ghetto sound, but with this empowerful lyrics,

and then, this song got huge in all of the country.

I was 21 in that time,

so after two years or something like this,

all my music, all the songs I was putting out,

I was like, number one, number one,

and everybody was singin , everybody was buying my clothes,

and doing my things.

I was so happy.

Now I m gonna put the work on the lips,

gonna be a fresh lips, too, so.

So, I was, like, so happy about this,

and the rhythm I do here in Brazil,

it s called funk.

It s like the hip hop in the United States in the 90s,

cause came from the ghetto and had all this prejudice

and everything,

and I was doing it for places that never heard before

funk music,

and I got really happy when I saw that the artists

out of Brazil were knowing what is funk.

You know, they were like, oh, I wanna do a funk track.

I love this sound, I love this, I love that.

When I did the video in the favela,

everybody was lookin

and artists that I never thought that would be listening

to my songs, to my music,

they were talking to me about my music videos,

and they were like, I was like, oh, my God.

I just put a liquid matte,

so when I m doing concerts,

I always use matte lipstick,

because of my microphone, that I m always singing in,

passing the microphone in my mouth,

so I don t wanna mess up the lipstick and my lips,

so I use a matte one,

cause it s just stay there, stuck,

but if no, like if an awards or something like this,

a red carpet, so then I put the gloss part.

One more round of powder,

cause I m shiny again, and that s it.

So this one is my look if I m doing a red carpet

or something during the day,

so then I do my look like this.

Then, if I m going to stage when people gonna see me

from far away,

then I like to have my eyes stronger

to make people just really see me.

So basically, it s this, but then I m gonna add

some stuff, a little bit more.

Get a brown shadow.

Don t pay attention to my make-up.

It s so messed up,

cause I really use it, so, don t pay attention.

Okay.

Get this brown one,

and I m gonna put here in the crease.

So now you can see my eyes are more like tcht.

Stronger my look.

Okay, now that I have it strong in my crease,

I ma put it stronger underneath my eyes.

Think that there are different ways to be women

and there s no right way to be women,

it s just the way you wanna be.

Okay, so now we have stronger eyes.

I ma put a little bit more of mascara, here under.

I never put mascara in my eyelashes.

I still have it stronger,

so now the eyes are, like, pshu.

Yeah, this one is eye pencil.

Okay, so what I do,

I never close my eyes to do this,

and it s more simple than people used to do.

You re gonna keep following your eyes, really soft.

Yes, you see, it s easy.

You can do it stronger if you want.

If you want, like, more,

you just keep following the line of your eyes.

Okay, now the other side.

If I want thicker, I just go addin and addin

a little bit more of space,

while I m followin my eyes with this eyeliner.

Okay, and that s a wrap.

We have the light eyes and now, the strong eyes.

Okay, so now I m ready to perform,

I m ready to do whatever I wanna do,

and you can be, too.

Thank you so much.

I m just gonna wash my hands a little bit.

[laughing] Bye, thanks.
