Hello beautiful ladies and welcome to today's video where we're going to be talking about powder puffs
00:00:08.320
Tati recently came out with her blendiful and I was really intrigued by it. She basically
00:00:14.000
described it as a powder puff that's larger and has more surface area so you can do your entire
00:00:19.840
face and use cream products. I had never known you could use a powder puff for cream products
00:00:24.720
so I thought that was fascinating but I did a little bit of research and I found online on
00:00:29.920
Amazon that they had a pack of ten for about eight dollars so I thought to myself is a pack of ten for
00:00:35.760
eight dollars set of powder puffs going to do the same thing that her blendiful would do. I didn't
00:00:42.320
purchase her blendiful but what I did do was I purchased these and I kind of tried to use them
00:00:47.520
in the same way and I had a really good experience so I wanted to share with you guys how I was able
00:00:52.720
to use these powder puffs and create a look that I absolutely love as well as save a little bit of
00:00:58.320
money. So let's hop in. It is snowing like crazy outside. I can see out my window and it is insanity
00:01:06.160
so we're just going to sit here with our cup of tea and just get started. So the first thing that I'm
00:01:12.880
going to do is I'm going to take this and I'm going to dip this into the primer. So it's a really
00:01:17.520
interesting thing. The fact that Tati decided to come out with this blendiful and it was like
00:01:23.040
oh my gosh nobody uses this for you know people think of this as something that's for powder and
00:01:28.000
she's saying no it's for everything and I'm going to show you how. I thought that was a really cool
00:01:32.320
concept but my thing was if I can save money why wouldn't I? So I wanted to see if I could find
00:01:39.680
something that was comparable and I wouldn't have to spend eighteen dollars. Now eighteen dollars for two
00:01:44.880
tools really isn't bad at all so I'm not saying that's expensive but I got a pack of these for
00:01:50.400
eight dollars and I got ten of them and her package is two pieces and it's eighteen. So again I don't
00:01:57.760
think that's a bad price but I figured I might as well check this out first. Next up I'm going to go
00:02:03.600
in with this L'Oreal concealer and I'm just going to cover up my scars my acne scars just on my face
00:02:10.400
and again I'm just going to go in with this puff. I'm going to use it for everything and I'm just going
00:02:15.040
to blend that out. So I'm just going to tap this out. I'm really surprised because I didn't know how
00:02:20.400
well this tool would work and I didn't know if this was just something that Tati had come up with that
00:02:26.400
would only work with her own product but it's been a really interesting experience to see that even
00:02:31.680
something that was only eight dollars and you got a pack of ten does a really good job. I was able to do my
00:02:37.920
entire face just with this and it makes things so fast and easy. So I'm excited to try and show
00:02:44.480
you guys exactly how easy this kind of a tool is and how you can get it for so inexpensive on Amazon.
00:02:50.640
Next up I'm going to go in with this foundation. You know which one it is if you don't know by now.
00:02:57.120
This is the Healthy Foundation by Physicians Formula. I use this pretty much every day. This is my absolute
00:03:04.080
go-to foundation and I honestly don't see myself switching over anytime soon. I was curious to try
00:03:10.080
the Maybelline Luminous foundation because hey it's winter time and my skin gets dry in the winter so I
00:03:16.240
thought I was going to try that out and I'm seeing if my nearby CVS or Walgreens has a bottle of it but
00:03:24.160
last time I was there they did not have those in yet. One of the things I've noticed with this tool is
00:03:29.200
that it is so much easier when you tap and don't pull. When you pull I think this is going to end
00:03:34.720
up sucking up too much product and you're not going to get as much coverage from your foundation. So
00:03:42.080
I'm just you can see I'm just really tapping this into the skin and I love the way this looks on my
00:03:48.160
skin. It makes my skin look so so natural and like I said in my previous video I've been using a lot less
00:03:54.880
foundation than I used to. I used to really just pack it on and lately I've just been putting on
00:03:59.920
enough to even out my skin tone and then just adding a little bit of extra coverage
00:04:04.400
right at the end where I need it. Next I'm going to go in with the concealer for underneath my eyes.
00:04:10.240
This is also the L'Oreal Infallible but it's a lighter shade and I'm just going to do a little bit
00:04:15.840
just in the center of my face to bring light to my face and then I'm just going to tap it out
00:04:21.360
with this puff. So I'm really using this puff for all of my cream products and by the way you can
00:04:27.680
see how far this concealer goes. It has so much coverage so you just really want to be careful
00:04:34.400
when you're applying it because it can end up going further than you might expect. So how have your
00:04:41.200
winters been going? I feel like the time between Hanukkah and Valentine's Day is kind of endless. It's
00:04:48.000
so cold and you don't have a holiday to look forward to that kind of builds up in the same way
00:04:54.320
and it's been fun because there's been a lot of snow and I actually prefer it to be cold and snowy
00:05:00.320
than cold and dreary and just rainy because at least you can play in the snow and snow is so pretty
00:05:07.280
at least the first few days after it's fallen before it gets dirty. Before I finish up all my creams
00:05:13.760
I'm actually going to set my under eyes just so that I don't get any creasing so I'm just going to
00:05:18.960
take this puff like I've been using all over the rest of my face and I am going to pat this lift
00:05:25.520
and luminate powder underneath my eyes just to set that down. Next up I'm going to take this wet and
00:05:31.920
wild dual ended contour stick and I'm just going to draw a line from the top of my ear down towards my
00:05:40.080
mouth. I'm going to go a little bit down the sides of my nose and I like to shorten my nose a little
00:05:45.600
bit so I put a little bit of shadow there. I'm going to do a little bit of contour around my forehead
00:05:52.560
and I'm going to secret trick actually I think I learned this from Tati and when Scott Barnes was
00:05:58.240
on her channel I'm going to use this around the edges of my lips to make my lips look bigger and I tap a
00:06:07.840
little bit of foundation over that so it doesn't look too crazy. Now I'm just going to use this and
00:06:13.040
I'm going to tap this out. Now this I think you can like tap and pull a little bit. You don't want to
00:06:22.160
pull too much because you don't want to move around your foundation but just to get a cleaner more blended
00:06:28.480
line because when you're working with contour it's easy for that to look harsh. So today I'm really focusing
00:06:33.920
on my skin. I'm really not going to do anything complicated on my eyes or on my lips and I just
00:06:40.640
really want to take the time to use this to show you how you can use this to make your skin look fresh
00:06:48.080
and almost like you're not wearing makeup but without taking a bunch of time which is a really
00:06:54.080
really nice thing. So as you can see this is blending out really easily and another cool thing
00:06:59.120
about this I did try it I was able to wash this and I did that in my sink apparently you can try and
00:07:06.640
do this in the washing machine so if you're interested in trying that you can but I just did
00:07:11.360
this in the sink with some soap and it worked really really well dried out no problems at all so you
00:07:17.760
can keep it sanitary and reusable. I'm just going to quickly do my eyebrows obviously I'm not going
00:07:23.200
to use the powder puff I'm just going to use my pomade with a little brush I'm just going to fill
00:07:28.800
in those spots I'm trying to keep this pretty natural so I'm not going to go too heavy on my
00:07:34.240
brows I'm just evening them out. Now I'm just going to take some of this brow gel and I'm going to put
00:07:41.520
that through my brows just to hold them in place and I'm just going to use a spoolie and clean that up a
00:07:49.520
little bit. Now we're going to go back into our cream products and I'm going to take the puff
00:07:55.360
and I'm going to dip it into this cream blush this is the Honest Beauty cream blush and you can see
00:08:00.880
just how prettily this applies my blush it's like the most natural flush I love the way this looks
00:08:08.480
you can see the comparison there and it's just the nicest tool for this I think I think it's like
00:08:15.040
the easiest tool I've used to apply blush and contour and the last cream face product we're going to use
00:08:21.920
is this highlighter from Wet n Wild so I'm just going to draw this on here draw it on here a little
00:08:27.920
bit here and use this to blend it out. In honor of talking about Tati's Blendiful I'm going to be using
00:08:38.320
her palette I'm not doing anything complicated at all just dipping into some of her matte shades and
00:08:45.280
adding a tiny bit of definition to the eyes I'm really not trying to do
00:08:50.000
a big eye look right now like I said I just want to focus on the skin
00:09:03.520
so after using the powder puffs that I got on Amazon I would say I'm not going to order a
00:09:08.880
blendiful I think that these tools though are an incredibly quick way to do your makeup and it
00:09:13.920
makes your face look really flawless so I am really excited that I at least learned this new
00:09:19.440
technique for applying my foundation and my cream products and I hope you guys try it out yourselves
