And I've had the pleasure of producing Bobby's class alongside her in an incredible team joining us today and I'm sure she needs no introduction is Bobby Brown, a world renowned makeup artist, best selling author and serial entrepreneur.

Bobby, thank you so much for being with us today.

Oh, it's so nice.

Thank you so much for talking to me, of course.

And you know, before we just jump in, I wanted to say that, you know, I'm not someone who wears makeup.

And so, in working on your class, I had to put myself in the shoes of the students who would be watching, and I got to learn from you.

And I think that I got to see how much about makeup is about choice.

You know, you get to decide how much is just right for you, and there's so many different styles out there.

But your style is really simple, right?

Well, my style is is so much about me because I really do believe that people are beautiful without makeup, and makeup is a way to help you feel more beautiful.

Help you feel confident.

I am not someone that likes to cover up and change people's faces.

I like to embrace and use.

Makeup is away just to make people look healthier, and ultimately that makes you feel better, right?

And that's so important right now.

I mean, the reality is that so many people are working from home at the moment, and that means that people are either alone or with their families.

And so I was wondering, and I think this is a great place for us to really start is why should people be wearing makeup right now?

What can I do for us?

Well, if you think about it, some people wear makeup because other, you know, for other people, I've always worn makeup for myself.

For some reason, it instantly makes me feel better.

And clearly I don't wear a lot.

I mean, I'm doing this live.

I don't know how many thousands of people are watching, and I really didn't put a lot on.

But I put just enough on that.

I felt awake.

I felt healthier.

And for me, it's so much about moisture, how much moisture I put on my face and a little bit of blush that it makes a big difference.

How I feel.

It's I look in the mirror once, and then I'm done.

But I carry those feelings with me all day.

Yeah, that I think that spot on, and I think it's so easy to look in the mirror.

And I know in my case the things I maybe don't like about myself for making me feel secure.

Some of the first things I see, Um, and I think using makeup as a tool to Canada decide for myself.

What's gonna make me feel better is really powerful and empowering.

Well, us women are lucky because we could do things like color our hair we could, which I'll get into in a second.

That's probably the worst part of Ah, you know, staying home is missing my hairdresser.

But, you know, we could put concealer on under our eyes.

We could put blush on.

You could throw lips to gone.

And yes, if you're someone that likes to Contour believes that you look better.

You can you can do whatever you want with it.

It's makeup, and it just instantly lifts your mood and makes you feel better.

Whether you're doing a zoom, call it home.

Whether you are just by yourself in your apartment, it's amazing what a little bit does.

Even putting on a little teeny airings makes the difference, right?

You know, I'm so glad that you referenced our zoom call and we sent down an alert that we would be hosting this live session with you to give people a chance to submit their own questions.

And we received so many questions and one master cults number and rolled in your class.

And Cathy had a really great one.

And she said that you know, so many of our meetings, events and even times with friends were being moved online right now.

And so she wanted to ask you, you know, what could we be doing to look our best on camera?

Well, I've been doing a lot of zoom calls I'm on, you know, some meetings with some very young, beautiful people that just seemed tohave.

Wake up in the morning and the hair just kind of falls in place and others have hair in a bun and a ponytail and craziness.

And it's actually, you know, I think a very calming time because it's everyone could be riel.

So maybe you see people dressed up and now everyone is at home.

Sometimes there's babies screaming.

There's wild hair, but you know what, do what makes you comfortable.

I am wearing my Lululemon tights and I'm wearing a navy sweater.

I always wear navy swear people think I were black, but I wear navy and as faras makeup I have moisturizer on.

I have a little concealer under my eyes.

I have some bronzer on my face and lip, and I usually do my eyebrows in a little bit of mascara and that's it.

You know, that's it.

But when you guys shot me, I had Hannah and Susanna doing my makeup for camera.

It was way more makeup, but for Zoom, you don't need a CE much.

And how long did your routine take you today?

02 seconds.

So I'm gonna just show you a couple things now, probably the most important thing I have is this brown shadow that I'm not, you know, talking about brands right now.

But if you are a woman with dark hair of a certain age, this is the most amazing thing.

Because guess what?

You could just go.

And when you open up the zoom, you see it and you could just go fill in your grey.

Your part?

It comes in all different colors.

So and you can also use it.

His eye shadow, by the way.

And then when I'm doing my makeup and it just doesn't look right, I mean, we've been in the house.

Sometimes I just take a little bit of a moisturizer, and the trick is you put it on your hands, and even after your makeup's done, you just kind of tap it on your cheek and I tap it all over, and it just kind of brings moisture to the skin.

And don't forget your neck.

And honestly, all I really use right now is either that ground shadow or a plain brown shadow, some kind of a bronzer, and I'm using right now kind of a pinky bronzer.

And the trick with the bronzer guys is when you put it on blow, and when you put it on, start with your neck, do a little bit, smile a little on your forehead and that when you're doing your own blush, the trick is look in the mirror and just lend it in because you want it to look like it's part of your skin.

And that's really important.

And honestly, that's all I d'oh!

I put a little bit of loss of my lips, and sometimes when I'm really feeling tire, I'll take something that has some luminosity in it, which is just a little bit of sheen.

I don't even know that you feel different I don't know if you look different, but you feel different and that is it, honestly.

But I'm also lucky.

I wear glasses, so it kind of hides a little bit.

Yeah, and you know what?

I think this is a great opportunity to really set the record straight about something.

I mean, there's a lot of myths about nude makeup that is, Stop that.

It's beige, and I don't think that's the case.

It's not nude makeup is actually the color of your skin.

But for some reason, new makeup became beige became washed out.

It became one beige for everybody.

And we are all different skin colors.

I mean, we don't care if you're, you know, black.

I don't care if you're Latino.

I don't care if you're white.

We are all a range of colors, and we've got to find colors that are right for our skin.

And for me, the trick to to everyday makeup is finding colors that are the color of your skin.

It's not that complicated once you find the right things, and I mean, I think a lot of people might wonder, How do you find those right colors?

Not the easiest thing.

I mean, for me, it's easy, but you have to make sure.

First of all, you start with your foundation if you wear foundation.

And I'd really love people during this time of being home, to try not to wear, foundation or even use foundation.

Just a spot.

Correct, too.

You know, if there's any kind of little darkness, you can cover it.

But the only way to wear foundation I cover this like crazy in the class is on the side of the face of a blends in and most foundation on the market, unfortunately, has some pinking in it, so it doesn't look natural, so you'll see it on on the side of the face.

And that's why sometimes people have to mix their own with a few different colors.

But once you put it on, it should just blend in, and I don't think he will need foundation all over present.

It just looks like you're wearing a mask, and that's just not my my opinion.

It's not the most beautiful aesthetic.

I love people skin.

I love healthy skin, right?

And I think you know, once you find the colors that work for you, you don't need a whole bunch of products because there are so many out there on the market.

Yes, I think you've shown in your in your class.

You kind of alluded to a number of different tricks like you mentioned already.

Using eye shadow in your hair when you need a touch up.

Um, can you share a few more?

Maybe tips and tricks like that?

Sure.

Um, you know, there's so many lipstick.

By the way, you could you buy a lipstick?

It might not be the right color for you.

You're You know, maybe you ordered a same color of friend had, but you could take it and you can share it down.

You could stain it on your lips.

You could rub your fingers together and put it on your cheeks for shoes.

We put it on people's eyes.

I don't recommend that to people because it sometimes could get in your eyes so it's might not feel good, but you can use things for different ways.

Bronzers.

I don't see why you can't put on your eyes.

You know, it's sometimes the color is too orange.

So depending what color you have, you could trust by it that way and in a pinch, guys, you could take even the bronzer, mix it with a little bit of gloss and stand it on your lips.

So you know, there's many things you could use different ways, right?

And I think, you know, in your class you have a really great lesson called the one minute makeup.

And I think you know that routine is helping people to get up on with a busy schedule on Goto work.

And for many right now, that kind of sense of routine looks very different.

And so I was wondering, What is your one minute makeup look like when you're working from home?

Well, my most people's one minute makeup is my 32nd makeup, so usually moisturizer goes on.

First, you throw in some concealer under your eyes, your foundation around your nose blush bronze air on your cheap mascara brushed your brows up, and you could use eye shadow for eyebrows.

You could use like a little teeny brush on brow and kind of you're done.

You know it's not.

It's not the smokey eye.

It's not the jeweled I.

It's not the you know.

It's not even eye shadow.

Really?

I mean, people don't realize if you put mascara on and filling your brows sometimes you don't need, you don't need.

I shall.

You can add a line or sometimes Hey, we have a visitor, You know, when we're alive and working from home, What happened?

He's got slows over there.

Some, you know, people walking around and shorts, boxer shorts.

That's all good and very real, just like you said.

And yeah, you know, I think a moment of the class and I really loved is actually in your introduction.

And you told a really personal story about falling in love with makeup by watching your mom.

And I was thinking a lot about how you have already said, I don't wear any makeup.

And I think a lot of men myself included, maybe have grown up and only seen the women in our lives wearing makeup.

And so I wanted to ask you, from your opinion, um, what could make up do for men?

And can you maybe share some grooming tips for us as well?

Sure.

Well, actually, some men do our makeup.

There are a lot of men that are makeup artists that always have makeup on they.

I think they got into makeup because they felt better once they put it on.

I personally don't like makeup on men's skin.

I don't think they need it.

But, you know, make up is one thing.

Skincare and grooming is another thing.

So guys have to grow and you know, you've got a trim your beard.

You've gotta maybe put some moisturizer and your beard.

They now of all things on the market.

You know that.

Take care of your beer, though.

You could probably just use what you use on your skin.
