Hello, hi,

I am Bishop Briggs.

I am here with vogue,

and I m just pretending that s a normal thing,

a normal day in my life!

Today, I am going to be doing a little makeup look,

I think the name for this is

the running-into-your-ex makeup tutorial.

I feel like when you have this sense

that you re going to run into an ex,

it s like you wanna be feeling your best

and you also wanna look like you haven t done anything.

That is the look for today.

Okay, so, first thing I m gonna start with

are things that I found while shopping in Little Tokyo.

Now, I m going to put on these

little eye thingies that I found.

That s not the actual name of them but it really should be

and I don t know why, but I think

people look so cute in these.

I use these far too often

but I just tap it in

and I keep it on for about a minute,

and then on top of that I m gonna put a face mask.

I mean, this just tells you everything

you need to know about the things I m drawn to.

This very much excites me.

Oh my God, I m so excited!

Stop right now.

Oh my gosh, wow, I look so good.

See, this is the confidence I need

before running into an ex.

So I kind of put it into my head a little bit.

I did grow up in Japan,

you know, I was a little lone wolf.

[laughs] Oh my God,

I can t take myself seriously,

look at this smile.

This is the vibe.

I think I m gonna take it off now,

and then I like to just put it into my skin,

just rub it in,

and also, starting your day off with hello kitty

is never a bad way to start your day.

Okay.

I am going to put on sunscreen.

This sunscreen has been a little lifesaver for me,

I really just put it all over my face.

I kind of use this to prime my skin in a way.

Sunscreen should be going before everything,

and I think my best tip if you do shave your head

or are thinking about it, is to really

put on sunscreen, oh my gosh.

So I shaved my head because my friend,

her name is Arax,

she got diagnosed with breast cancer,

and so she had to shave her head

and so I wanted to show my support.

The minute I shaved it,

it kind of felt like the person

that I ve always been in the inside.

The upkeep, it s like every two weeks I would say

to have a clean, fresh-shaved head.

I use the CC Cream, generally probably the lightest shade.

The slogan for this stuff is your skin but better,

and I will say I do feel that it accomplishes that.

Next, I m gonna use a foundation,

and I m gonna go over what I just did.

When you have the sense that you re going to run into an ex,

you kind of make it look like,

oh my gosh, what?

No, I actually just woke up,

you know it s crazy, I don t even wear makeup anymore,

remember you saw all my makeup on the ground

when we were together?

Yeah that s just not me anymore. [laughs]

This has happened to me all the time.

We have the same grocery store we go to,

so that s kind of a nerve-wracking place.

So a little goes a long way,

what I like to do is I dip the brush in like this,

I tap the excess, and then I go

like that all the way through,

and then back down again,

and then I am just gonna go overboard.

Okay, whenever someone texts me that they re pulling up,

I m like, yeah, I m nearly there,

and this is exactly what I look like, every time.

So I m gonna go under the eyes,

and this is me just setting the eyes,

and again, I did like one dip.

Okay, so now I am going to

contour my face.

Oh, there we go, so I rub,

and again, if you re like,

whoa, that s a little bit above your cheekbone,

that s a bit kind to yourself,

yeah, it is, because

that is where I want the cheekbone to be.

It s nice to kind of frame your face as if

the sun was hitting you.

So again, I still have tons of baking happening

but I m gonna do the tip of my nose to make it look like,

you know the people on Whoville?

Yeah, that s my goal.

I m also just doing underneath my eyes.

So now, I m going to blend this all.

And I m gonna dip this into the bronzer

and I m just gonna lightly

put it over my nose as if the sun hit it that way.

Now I m going to wipe off any excess powder

with that same brush.

Gonna go in with blush,

and I think when you do run into an ex,

it s nice to be like oh my gosh, what?

I m just flushed cause, I dunno,

maybe I did just have sex, even if you didn t

and you were just like,

watching Netflix and Parks and Rec.

Next I m gonna do my eyes.

I m just gonna put a little bit underneath my eye.

Okay, now I m gonna go in with mascara

and I go from the bottom of the lashes

and I kinda shake it a little bit,

but I think you can never go too much on the lashes.

[gasp]

[sigh]

This is the most annoying,

but I have learned that you have to wait

until it dries a little bit to take it off,

so for now, I m gonna pretend it s a freckle.

So I like to just use a little Q-tip to get

this devil away.

Gonna do the other eye,

and now I m going to use the Glossier Boy Brow in Clear

just to brush up my eyebrows.

I love highlights so much.

I brought three highlights,

and if that seems excessive, get out.

I m kidding, you don t have to leave.

Okay, I m gonna start with a little pinkish one,

this is a splurge product, this is from Diore,

and I like this pinky tone for my cheeks

because it kinda blends well with

the blush that I already have on.

And then I am going to do

a little bit underneath the eyebrow.

Okay, so this is Fenty Beauty One.

Rihanna!

Love that she did this for all of us.

And so I m just gonna go on top.

Oh my God!

[gasps] [screams]

So I m just gonna do the ridge of my nose,

and I m gonna go underneath again.

I mean, how crazy is this highlight?

Oh, it makes me scream!

Champagne Pop from Jaclyn Hill.

This one is a little bit more gold.

[gasp] Oh my gosh,

you know I honestly just get a sense of calm

putting on these highlights,

and with this one I actually do

the inside corner of my eye.

So I m just gonna quickly go over

with that same bronzer brush

over the highlight a little bit,

just to make it blend a little bit more,

and then I m gonna do lips.

I like to overline a little bit,

You put it right here, just think it makes it

look a little bit fuller.

And now I m going to go in with lipstick.

Do you guys remember when we had the baking?

Look where we are now, yay!

And then a little trick I do is, like that.

And the final thing that I do is

I add this little sunscreen on the top of my lips.

It, just like my head, is the worst place to get sunburnt.

Because I am putting a little bit of a shine on,

it would be cruel to not put on the Rihanna one

because this one smells so good too.

Look, it s all over my teeth.

This is also a makeup trick.

Now I m going to spray my face, set it in place,

face the day, face the potential ex.

Okay!

I hope your glow keeps on glowing.

Look at the glow.

Thank you for watching, bye!
