- Hey everyone, it's your girl, Jen,

and today I have a make-up video for you.

I am doing a, kind of like an effortless glam look,

using all drugstore products and I am so shocked

that this is my first time doing a video like this

because this tag as been around for years,

and this has been on my to-do list for years.

But 2018 is the year where I'm just knocking everything

off that list, so if you'd like to see how

I did this look and watch me answer questions

from Twitter, please keep watching.

So, first up, I always wanna start with sunscreen,

I am an advocate of sunscreen because

I am terrified of wrinkles and the UV rays

and the best way to keep wrinkles at bay

is prevention and so I'm using this sunscreen

by Olay, it is their Total Effects 7 in 1,

it's SPF 15 so it's a really light, everyday sunscreen.

I love how absorbent it is and my skin

just really sits well with it.

So now I'm gonna move straight into foundation,

I'm using this Wet 'n Wild Cushion Foundation.

This is also SPF 15, so I've got that extra coverage

and I am the shade nude beige.

I really like the coverage in this cushion

because I like how my skin still peeks through,

but it's still really buildable.

So the first question is from Bianca

and she asks, "Any tips of staying organized

"with the ridiculously busy lifestyle?"

So I'd say the best way to stay organized

is to write everything you wanna do down.

So I still religiously use my happiness planner,

like I use it every single day.

I don't know if you can see it,

but it's right over there, behind me.

I use that to a tee

and I write down everything I need to

because I know that my mind is such a terrible office,

it literally forgets so many things

so the instant I have to do something,

I write it down or I'll put it on my phone.

I'm also a huge advocate of using the calendar app

on your phone, so, it always gives me reminders

of things that I need to get done.

I want a little bit more coverage underneath my eyes,

so I'm gonna use a holy grail of mine,

this is Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind.

I am in the shade medium and I'm just

gonna pop that underneath my eyes.

It's really important for me to break down large projects,

so, for example, let's say I have to upload

on the 23rd, I'll make sure that on my calendar

I'll have a specific day where I finish the treatment

and then I'll have a specific day where I'll film

and then I'll have a specific day where

I'm finishing editing and then I'll turn that into my editor

and she'll put in all the cool graphics

and the trimmings on it.

By breaking it down into all these different days

it really helps me finish huge projects

and I don't feel like I'm overwhelmed.

If I don't do something when I say I'm gonna do it,

it kind of ruins my entire schedule

and I don't know, I find that planning really allows

me to do everything that I wanna do.

I think for some people, they're afraid of planning

because they feel like it might constrain

or constrict their life, but I find that

to be the complete opposite.

The more I plan things, whether it's like planning

to have a self-care day, planning to have dates

with friends, planning on having a full filming day,

I find that it frees me up to do everything

that I truly wanna do on my list.

That is such a Virgo thing to say.

Alright, so the base is looking really good,

I'm gonna seal that in with another one

of my favorites, this is Rimmel Stay Matte Powder

and instead of using a brush,

I'm gonna use this little cushion guy

and I'm just gonna pack this all in.

I've noticed that when I pack it like this

I really don't stay oily and it also keeps any wrinkles

from forming 'cause these days

I always have these smile lines

but when I do this technique, I've noticed that

it doesn't show, it doesn't crease as much.

So, I've been digging this.

So now I'm gonna work on my brows, I'm using this product

by Joah, and it is their Brow Down To Me

in the shade taupe and this is actually gonna be available

in CVS really soon so I'm so excited

for you guys to try it.

I'm just gonna do kind of like a straight, gentle brow

with like a small arch.

So, I'm just gonna go for it.

(jazz music)

Alright guys, brows are finished

and now I'm gonna move straight into the eyes,

I'm using this palette by Wet 'n Wild,

it is their Rose In The Air and I think

I'm gonna just go for something quite natural.

I'm gonna go in with this transition shade over here

and I'm just gonna pack that onto my eyelid.

Ooh, it's pretty, I'm gonna do the other side.

(jazz music)

So now that we have the base, I'm gonna go in

with this orangy shade, right over here,

get in, get a fluffy brush

and I'm just gonna start smoking that out, ooh.

(jazz music)

Oh, and by the way, I feel like I never call out

my brushes, so I'm gonna do that today.

This is the Pro Blending Brush by Sephora in the large 27.

But yeah, this is like my go-to blending blush.

I find that whenever I make mistakes

this brush will usually save me.

And now I'm gonna get a clean blending brush

and I'm just gonna smoke that even more.

This is the Sigma E 25 blending brush

and this has no product on it, I'm just going

to smoke that out and diffuse it even more.

We just want like a soft, brown haze for this look.

I'm gonna intensify this a little more, I pray to God

I don't ruin this, but I'm gonna

go in for like this darker brick red color

and I'm using this Urban Decay brush

that I got in one of the pallettes.

I'm just kind of poking it where I would like it to be

and then using the other side to kinda blend it out.

I kinda don't want mess this up,

because I'm really enjoying the way this looks,

just looks really nice and soft.

So now I'm gonna go with the transition color again

and I'm gonna just pop it underneath my eyes

to just complete this really diffused look.

(jazz music)

I can't forget about the inner corners

so I'm gonna go in with this champagne shade over here

and we're gonna pop that, I need to stop saying pop,

I'm going to apply that right in the inner corners

and this is just gonna highlight this area

and make it look nice and fresh and bright eyed.

And then with that same champagne,

I'm gonna place it on my brow bone.

This is going very swimmingly.

It's gonna go straight into mascara,

I'm going to give my lashes a little pump.

Okay, and now I'm gonna use this waterproof mascara

from Wet 'n Wild, this is their Megaslim Skinny Mascara

and I love the little wand, it is so tiny

and it's gonna really get into the nooks and crannies

of my lashes and while I'm doing this,

I should answer a question.

"Hi Jen, I love your content and appreciate the way

"you conduct yourself with so much grace and soul."

Thank you!

"How do you maintain close knit bonds with your family

"and friends that are further away

"while balancing constant travel and a busy work schedule?"

I thought this was a really great question

because as you get older it does get harder

to see your friends and your family

because life gets in the way.

I mean, especially your friends

because when you're in school you're kind of forced

to see them every single day and so it's very convenient

but when you get older you have to make the time

and effort to go and see them

and as someone who considers herself a workaholic

it's really important for me to find time

for all the things that I love,

which is work, family and friends

and I think the biggest lesson for me

is to never take anything personal.

If someone's too busy for you at the moment,

don't take it personal.

They're going through a lot and you gotta give

them their space but just know that

you will eventually see them and when you do

don't try and have grudges or don't be spiteful.

I think it's really important as adults

to recognize that schedules come in waves

and business comes in waves.

I think with the age of technology

there are so many different ways that you can reach

out to your friend, whether it is

a call or a text, email, FaceTime.

When I am missing a friend, I'm just really honest,

I don't care about sounding needy

or anything, I'm just like, hey,

I really miss you, how are you?

Are you free on this day, do you wanna catch up?

And when we do meet even if we haven't seen each other

in a month it's like nothing has happened.

We just pick up where we last left off

and we're just excited to see each other

and I think that is what friendship is about.

I mean, we're gonna live for a pretty long time,

and there's still so much time for us to be friends

so if we don't see each other every single day

it's not the end of the world.

As long as we care for each other and we're gonna make time

for each other, that's what matters.

I finished mascara and I just want a little extra help,

just at little bit, so gonna go in

with these Ardell Demi-Wispies

which are another holy grail of mine

and I'm just gonna pop that onto my eyelids.

(jazz music)

The lashes are on, the glue is a little bit wet

so it's gonna dry down.

It's okay Cheeky, oh man, Cheeky's right next to me

and she looks so messed up.

So, it's kind of an off-tangent, but basically

we took Cheeky to our normal groomers

and they normally do a decent job, it's not amazing

but she's cleaned, she's washed, but this time

we took her in and we got a call

and they said that they had nicked the back of her neck.

And we're like, oh my God is she okay?

They're like, "Yeah, she's fine, we're gonna put

"some antiseptic on it, she'll be fine."

And we're like okay, just let us know when

we can come get her and then we get another call saying,

"Okay, so Cheeky's in the Vet now, and she had

"to get two stitches on the back of her neck,

"everything's fine, but she had to go to sleep."

Now she keeps scratching the back of her neck now

and I can't put the cone on her

because the cone chafes where the whole cut is,

but (sighs) it's just freakin' annoying,

obviously the groomers took care of the bill

and everything, but it's just very inconvenient

for us and it's just very traumatic for Cheeky

'cause she was having such a great day

and she didn't expect to go in the hospital

and get all drugged up, but, yeah,

they weren't able to even finish cutting her,

so half her body is shaved and the other half is full.
