PinkPantheress’s Beyoncé-Inspired Makeup Look Is All About Thin Brows

[upbeat music]

Hey Vogue, it is PinkPantheress,

and today we re going through my skincare/makeup routine.

I wash my face with La Roche-Posay.

My friend told me once that her sister had bad acne,

and then it dissolved as soon as she used this.

And that s why I ve been using this

since I was about, like, 13 years old.

I m gonna keep it so real, I don t touch my forehead.

I do not touch my forehead on a daily basis.

I don t think I ve touched my forehead

in a few weeks at this point.

I view my forehead as, like, a very, very complicated

and sacred thing,

and I therefore won t touch it

because someone told me

Naomi Campbell doesn t put foundation on her forehead.

That might be wrong,

but ever since I heard that, I haven t let it go.

Toner from Laneige.

Just a few drops. I try not to pull too much

because I hear that it gives you wrinkles at an early age.

[upbeat music continues]

So the next thing we have here is quite a,

it s a small luxury.

I m not even gonna lie to you.

This is the Sunday Riley s Good Genes All-In-One.

Tiny bit on your hands.

You can go ahead and touch your forehead now.

Me, you know I m not gonna do that.

And one thing that people forget about is their neck.

Can you believe that?

I personally never forget my neck

when I m doing my skincare.

A lot of these products are recommendations,

but if I m not getting something recommended

and I need something specific,

I m not gonna lie to you, Reddit.

Take it or leave it.

That is a great website.

I ve gone to Reddit when I ve found no hope

in any other corner of this Earth.

11SKIN Day Cream.

You know, you never find yourself reading these things

until you have to, you know?

But this is basically moisturizer.

[upbeat music continues]

Okay, so we re gonna do the temples as well.

This is just a light massage.

You know, days can be stressful,

so you just need to calm yourself down in the morning

so you can prepare yourself for all the bull

that s gonna be happening in the day.

And for me, that can be a lot sometimes.

I m a cosmetics person.

I like getting stuff done.

I like getting my nails done, my hair done.

I like doing my eyebrows.

I mean, what s left of them.

That s kind of what relaxes me.

It s just nice sometimes to feel,

I don t know, pampered.

The most crucial thing is sunscreen.

I learnt this the hard way a few times.

We re getting a bit close to the forehead here,

so I m just going to, you see, that s the, okay.

And then the temples down to your neck.

And I ve got some broad shoulders,

so it is going right down on these puppies.

We just need to cover it.

And the next thing I do after this is foundation.

I think I m at a point

where I found two of the perfect shades

to mix together to find my shade.

Header, I am not comparing myself

to who I m about to mention,

nor am I saying I m anything close.

But I do look at Beyonce

for inspiration when it comes to makeup.

I m not gonna lie,

those early 2000 s looks that she was serving

with the, like, very minimal makeup,

the nice, strong eyebrows.

She had a thin brow too, and I loved it.

I think it s so beautiful, and it sounds really weird,

but, like, the gap here, like just below the brow,

is my favorite part of the whole face.

And hers was always looking delish.

We re gonna go in with that MAC Studio Radiance.

I m mixing it with this MAC Studio Fix Fluid.

[mellow music]

So now my foundation s just melting in.

I feel like the more confidence I ve had

over the last few releases of music,

I feel like the more I ve actually wanted to experiment

a little bit more with my looks

and even the way I dress has changed.

And I feel like what I love about makeup

is that you can match it so nicely to what you re wearing.

And that s not something I necessarily thought of before.

I like furthering my aesthetic to more than just my music

and, like, my clothes.

I like embodying what I m trying to look like.

The next thing that I m going to be doing

is my liquid blush.

I love The Simpsons so much

that they did a collab with Revolution,

and I bought as much stuff as I could.

And it was actually,

I was actually gonna buy it so that I could just keep it.

But I ended up using it because it was so good.

I m just gonna put a little bit on my finger.

And when I say a little bit,

I mean like a really tiny amount.

And this will actually do your whole face.

So I m actually just gonna put a little bit

on my undernose there.

[mellow music continues]

Okay, see, now it s coming together a little bit better.

My favorite collaboration has been, oh,

Kaytranada was a really good one for me.

I always mention Kaytranada cause that is my,

that is my man.

I love him.

And then a very underrated one,

Where You Are, featuring Willow.

Just a tiny bit more here. Here.

And what it gives you is just a nice little,

like, look at the cheekbones.

All of a sudden, they are there.

All of a sudden, they re with us, they re in the room.

I am just gonna put a little bit on here,

and it just creates a nice rosy effect.

This is speaking Spanish,

and I m speaking a different language.

This isn t translating,

but trust me, in real life, you can see it.

This is the best product on the market.

Don t be jaded because it s a Simpsons collab.

You re not too good for The Simpsons.

Relax. Relax.

So I like accentuating this part of my eyes.

And if you re East African,

we do tend to have this part a lot.

And I love it. I think it s really cute.

So what I do is I take this blunt MAC pencil in Cork

and I m just going to basically where my natural line is,

I m just kind of gonna dot it.

I m not even gonna, like, draw it.

I m gonna dot it like this.

Cool. [mellow music continues]

So this is the MAC Haute Naughty Lash.

I don t even think they do make this mascara anymore.

See, we re vintage over here.

We do everything vintage. We don t do anything new-new.

I just think for me personally, having a thicker brow

kind of drew away from what I wanted people to look at,

which was more my eyes and my cheek burns.

See, it s very simple.

They re there, but they re just,

like, they re not, like, too strong.

They re there, but they re not strong.

They re like, they re there,

but they re not going to the gym.

I transitioned recently to a very pink blush.

Is ridiculous.

Cause I m fearless, you know?

I do things. I do things for the thrill of it.

I m gonna put some on my cheeks.

So as you can see, it s very, very bright pink.

It s giving Barbie.

Speaking of Barbie, stream Angel by me.

If anyone hasn t heard it, it s got an Irish jig in it.

A lot of people were surprised that I put an Irish jig

in the middle of a song for Barbie.

I think, listen, sometimes I have to,

I have to be a patriot of where I m from.

I m not from Ireland, but I m damn near.

I m damn near from there.

This is Max Factor Facefinity Bronzer Powder.

You know I m not going up here,

but is it wrong for me to go down here?

Lip liner.

For anyone that s seeing Olivia Rodrigo live next year,

I m the opener.

So, you know, you re gonna see me first and then her.

You don t need to arrive for me if you don t want to,

but I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you very much.

For this album that I ve put out,

I feel like I ve had to really get into

my performer headspace, navigate, and figure out,

like, I want this side of me to be shown and this side.

And you never wanna come across as fake,

but you also wanna protect your sanctity and your privacy.

It s a very hard thing to navigate.

So next thing I m gonna do

is I m gonna use this Hard Candy lip gloss.

[mellow music continues]

Last step before I leave the house.

I feel like it wouldn t really be me without a bang.

I m just gonna remove these clips.

Without touching your forehead,

we re just going to move the bang.

This is the finished beat, the finished look.

It s not quite beat. It s more like smack.

Thank you so much for watching this video.

I don t thank anyone enough

for allowing me to be in spaces like this

and doing this in front of a camera.

I really do appreciate everyone for watching this.

And yeah, lots of love.
