The "Nothing is Natural On Camera" Face

• Remember being on camera is not a natural medium.

• Learn what to emphasize to look the best, natural version of yourself.

• Start with a tinted moisturizer.

• Move on to concealer to hide redness.

• Next brush and fill in eyebrows using an eyebrow gel.

• Cream blush is more natural.

• Put makeup on in the space where you will be doing your meetings or in natural light.

• Finally do your lashes and add lipstick.

Hey everyone I'm going to do a quick tutorial with you on how to get your face done in less than five minutes when you're preparing to sit on Zoom. Remember we've talked a whole lot in our course about the fact that this is not a natural medium. Right now, is as close to a natural medium as I can offer to you. I turned off the touch up my appearance filter. Here you can see it's off now, and now on. Oh softer, softer natural, natural um there's this is not about carving out cheekbones in a jawline I don't have an

00:43

hour to spend getting my makeup ready before I get on a call, neither do you. This is simply about amplifying your features so that you look like a the most well-rested natural version of yourself that you can. Okay I don't have a whole lot of products and I'm not shelling for any makeup company. Point is to just get across the things that you need to emphasize a little bit. so that you can look like a natural, the best natural version of yourself. So, let's go ahead and do that face. Okay the only thing I've done is wash my face,

01:15

and I put on some moisturizer because I need it because I have dry skin. You do you. Um I put on a tinted moisturizer. I don't like a big heavy face, but I'm going to just put on a dollop. Here you go: everyone gets to see the funny faces I've made. Let me put it on all the way up to the top across the eyes. This is again also not a matter of people needing to do their face as they get older because everybody, everybody has skin that needs to be addressed in some way. So, then I use a little bit of um concealer stick and this is probably

01:59

where everybody, men this means you too, and get into the corners. There you go. Let me tap that. If you happen to be a person who has a lot of redness here, as well, like that that's all you got and tap tap, tap. Okay done. Then I'd like to move from the top down. I happen to have big eyebrows, some people have no eyebrows. Whatever eyebrow situation you're dealing with, is going to be good for you to address. I like this particular, okay I'm gonna shell for them for a second, but not, I don't make any

02:39

money from it I just love it, the Thrive Cosmetics does a really nice job. They have different color eyebrow gels and they hold everything in place. Okay there's one. Yes, all the kids are brushing their eyebrows up. That made me sound really old. I just said all the kids. Oh well, here we go up, up now. I've got eyebrows to speak of, that are in place and not spotty perfect. Then I use a little bit of a blush, I use a cream blush, not a powder because I like the way it looks better and you give yourself a little smile Hi how are

03:16

you? Nice to see you, now the sun's coming in from my side. I should also say I'm doing this in the space where I sit to do my meetings. That's kind of not a bad idea if you happen to be in a, if you have the opportunity, um but give yourself the best natural light you can. But in my situation I have lots of light coming in on this side so I have my fill light on the other side. All right so I'm doing the best I can within the light that I have. I have cheeks and bomb. And that's it, there we go. Okay and I'll do this quickly. Forgot to do

04:00

the eyes. Here we go, and I don't want to do it on the bottom, I don't want big spider lashes here. Hopefully this is the part I can learn to fast forward. Now it's a version of me exactly as I am: eyebrows, eyelashes a little lips, a little color, not washed out. You can do this. And men, if you just are resisting the heck out of the idea of any of this, all you need to do is take a tissue hold it on your face hold on, tap, tap, tap, and you're going to get the oil off and if you can bring yourself to get a simple spoolie,

04:41

or even if you need to just steal one from the makeup counter, they're free, it's not really stealing or even better have them trimmed when you go to the uh, get your hair cut, men and their wild eyebrows on this medium, also is a little crazy making, or crazy looking, it'll make your people crazy who are watching you. So again, the point is you're not trying to distract we're not trying to make things um wildly out, you know out of the norm for you, just the best version of yourself. Okay now I'm going to touch up

05:11

my appearance using my Zoom technology. Oh nice. So now we've got it all in place I hope that helps. Happy Zooming [Music].
