I’ve had some people ask me how I put on eyelashes or how I draw on my eyeliner or just what makeup I use so I thought I would do an entire video of exactly what it looks like! Please bear with me as I’m still figuring out this whole video stuff. Learning to take video of myself, editing the video, figuring out the lighting and pretty much everything I have no idea how to do…all while explaining how I put makeup on…it’s a bit overwhelming. But I’m having fun with it so I hope you guys are too! I have so much respect for the people on youtube or instagram that do this everyday because I felt like a mess. They are so badass.
Anywhoooooo, let’s talk about my favorite makeup! This is what I do for makeup whenever I’m taking photos or if I’m going out at night. When I’m not going out, I don’t put on eyeshadow but I still like doing the false lashes because it makes my eyes look so much bigger! This Jane Iredale Loose Powder from Nordstrom has truly changed my skin and have fallen in love with it ever since I started using it around 2 years ago! I’m not sharing what I use to cleanse my face but you can see it all here! Definitely check out that post because it has what I do daily as well as what I get done regularly with my esthetician! And if you want to read more about my microblading experience (permanent makeup) read this post! I’ve been absolutely loving it ever since I got it done and totally recommend it!

Hey Juli,
Quick question, how long do the lashes that you use last? Like is it a one day and done sort of thing? As you can see I obviously know a ton about makeup!
Thanks!
i’ve used them up to 5 times but there are others that last longer than that! i just pick off the excess dried glue before putting new glue on it!
The only thing better than watching this vlog is waiting for the “bloopers” at the end. You’re so great Julie – I love how relatable and genuine you are. Keep the vlogs coming!
bloopers are the best in videos lol so glad you’re loving the videos! thank you for the support!
cool.
Obsessed with your podcast and loving these vlogs! I’m totally inspired to wear more falsies now. Also the bloopers were the BEST!
do it! fake lashes are the best!
I watched this this morning and I have to say, you’ve changed the way I do my makeup. I am not usually a makeup video person beacuse I don’t like to wear 97 lbs of makeup, so I almost skipped it, but I’m really glad a didn’t! I actually paid attention when I put makeup on this morning and used some of the tips from your video and I felt so much better about myself. I’ve been following you since the beginning (even had a PaleOMG tank) and I’m totes into what you’e doing lately- especially the podcast, especially the cussing 🙂 Thanks Juli!
omg this comment is EVERYTHING!! this is exactly what i hoped someone would get out of it! thank you so much for the support from the beginning and thank you for leaving THE BEST comment of the day. i’m so pumped right now!
Have you thought about eyelash extensions? They can be a little pricey, but they are SO worth it! They are my one splurge and the one thing I can’t live without! I had my eyebrows microbladed too, and the combo of extensions and eyebrows is awesome, most days I wear no makeup, but it looks like I actually tried to get ready. It’s fantastic!
I love your blog and your recipes! Thanks for the laughs and the yummy food!
i thought about it a while back but it’s just not something i want to keep up with. i get my hair done every 3 weeks and go to the esthetician every 4 weeks so it would just be another thing i had to get done and i really don’t mind putting on fake lashes so it’s not a big deal to me! but so many people love lash extensions (the only thing i’ve heard about them in a negative light is that they beat up your real lashes so it suck once you get them off while they heal)
I love this. Short and sweet. Not too mention the “outtakes” at the end. “Do you hear that bird?!” lol too great. Keep up the good work, girl (:
love that you say that because i thought it was WAY too long but couldn’t really edit it any shorter haha! so thank you for that!
Your outtakes arrreee the best. Loving these vlogs, Juli!
