Hi there! I'm Linda Hallberg
Today I will do something that comes with a big deal of anxiety for me
I'm going to do a No mirror makeup challenge
I will go through all the steps as usual
I'm going for a grimy look with brown, dark brown and black colors
-and red lips
I start with a primer to get some luster
I put it in the middle of the face for a nice luster under my base
And now I will apply concealer under the eyes
This one is from The balm
-and is called Timebalm
There, that should be enough
Now it's time for foundation. I will use a liquid foundation
And I will cover the whole face
Since I know I have the right color, I start on the jaw line
The best part is that I have no clue how this looks!
I switched brush just now to put foundation on the nose
I like to use a smaller brush because you can reach everywhere with it
Now the base is done
And now I'll put some powder on the whole face
-before I start with the shading
I'm just dabbing it on there
All over the face to fixate the foundation
-using a transparent powder
Before the shading I start with the eyebrows
And this also brings anxiety to me
-because I know this will not look good!
I don't have the slightest idea where my eyebrows are now
-at least I can feel I'm brushing on some hair right now!
My eyebrows don't stretch that far and I have no clue where to go
This is really hard!
It's hard to know what pressure to apply and the amount of color that will stick
Let's say we're finished there and now I will put some brow gel
-to fixate these nice brows I just painted on!
To make them stay there during the whole day
Now it's time for the shading, or contouring
Since I'm so pale right now I will use an eye shadow
This is one of my favorites called Desert
There's almost no limit to how much you can put on
This one is from Make up store
The things I'm most scared of now are the red lips and sooty eyes
The fake eyelashes could be tricky too
Shading the nose
I want some parts to be highlighted...
...like the cheek bones for example...
...the nose bridge and also the forehead and the chin
Now I feel satisfied with that and it's time for the eyes
First of, I will use a primer
To get a nice and smooth color all over the eyelid
I smear it up to the eyebrow to avoid edges in the eye shadow
There!
Whoa, okey...
...this is so difficult!
I will use these 2 brown colors, called Cocoa beach and Chocolate sun
-together with Coral crush that I will use for toning
Well...
...this is so damn hard!
I put a dark shadow on the whole eyelid
The worst part is that I can't see what falls down and lands on the cheek
So I may end up with lots of brown daub on the cheeks when I'm done
As I always say, don't mind if it's uneven because you can correct that later
You can feel the crease so you have a point of reference to guide you
I switch to a fluffy brush to tone the shadow upwards
Now I'll use the orange shadow...
...I'm having a breakdown here!
I tone this here to get a nice transition
For some depth, I put on a darker shadow in the canthus
And now I will use the eye pencil on the upper and lower water line
Up here...
...and down here
I'm putting some shadow below the eyes too
I can't see how much I miss the target now but I can correct that later
And then apply the same brown shadow I did on the eyelids
I don't mean to look down, it just happens
I use the Desert shadow again to smooth out eventual edges
Now it's time for eyeliner...
...another moment of anxiety!
Should I make an eyeliner wing?
It's insane that after 27 years, I still don't know my own face
Now you know how old I am
It looks good as hell, right?
I will let this dry, then curve my eyelashes and put on mascara
Well, at least mascara was easy to put on without a mirror
And now for the fake eyelashes
I thought I would feel where to put them, but no!
I can feel that it's very misplaced
It's so very misplaced!
Now for the lips
Since it's tricky to put on red lipstick with a mirror
-why not do it without a mirror!
This is Nyx xtreme lip cream
I thought I'd put on some blush, too
I use this called Rosebud from Glominerals
Now I'll release my hair before I'm ready to take a look in the mirror
I can feel my pulse, this is no fun!
Oh god!
Well the eyelashes are good
It's not as bad as I thought it would be
I'm not so happy with the eyebrows
But I'm satisfied with the base
I'm satisfied overall, compared to the expectations I had before
This may be the most difficult thing I've ever done
It could definitely be worse!
This is totally fine
