Hey my belovies! 💋 Today I’m finally doing the “Get Ready With Me” video that y’all have been asking for! I know I look super different without my glam — no lashes, nothing — but don’t worry, you’re about to see the full transformation!
⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNING ⚠️
Before we start, let me just say this: the way I do my makeup is totally different from what you see other people do. I don’t follow every step, I just do what works for me. I’m not teaching a tutorial — I’m just sharing my way because I love y’all! ❤️

Step 1: Moisturizing – Baby Oil Is Everything!
Yes, you heard me right — I use baby oil instead of primer!
I have dry skin, so baby oil works perfectly for me. I know some people will say, “She should use primer!” but nope, this is what I do and it works. I just use a little, not too much.
Step 2: Eyebrows – They’re “Sisters,” Not “Twins”
Next, I grab my Dark Brown Brow Pomade and a small brush to shape my brows.
This step takes a while ’cause I want them just right. I see people with these perfectly sculpted brows and I’m like, “Dang, that’s nice!” I do the best I can with what I got. I’ve only been doing makeup for about a year and a half — before that I was just an eyeliner and lipstick kind of girl!
And y’all, I just started wearing colored wigs too! My sister Shannon (hey girl!) got me hooked about a year and a half ago when she gave me a blonde one. Ever since then, I can’t stop switching up the colors.
But remember: my brows are sisters, not twins. That’s just how it is in this household! 😄
Step 3: Concealing Around the Brows
After that, I use my MAC Pro Longwear Concealer. I put a little on the back of my hand and outline my brows. I should have my glasses on, y’all, but it is what it is!
Then I blend it out — sometimes with a brush, sometimes with my fingers. I don’t use all the fancy tools everyone else does.
Step 4: Don’t Waste the Product!
That leftover concealer on my hand? Oh, I use that! I don’t waste good makeup. Instead of color corrector, I just apply the rest all over my face.
MAC is expensive, y’all! My husband knows it too! 😂 When I go to the MAC counter and spend $130 for three things, he’s like, “What in the world did you buy?”
But I use every drop, and you know what? I always get compliments when I go out. People think I had my makeup professionally done — nope, it’s just me!
Step 5: Foundation – My Special Mix
Now for foundation. I mix MAC Studio Fix Tinted Cream with Revlon ColorStay 24HR.
I mix them on the back of my hand, not too thick, and apply with a brush. I have those sponges, but honestly, I’ve never used them. I know people say, “Don’t paint it on!” but I do! It smooths out perfectly for me.
And again — I use all the product. Nothing goes to waste around here!
Step 6: Lashes – I Have None! 😅
My natural lashes are super short — like, basically not there. So I don’t even bother. Before putting on falsies, I go ahead and do my eyeshadow.
Step 7: Eyeshadow – Orange Today! 🍊
Normally I go for silver or gold, but today I’m doing orange just to switch it up!
I’m using MAC Orange “Brightest Response.” The pigment is amazing! I make sure it hugs my lid nicely.
One day, I’ll try those big colorful palettes like Jaclyn Hill’s — all those gorgeous blues, purples, and reds! But for now, I’m keeping it simple.
Step 8: Eyeliner
I use gel eyeliner and sometimes Revlon ColorStay Black Eyeliner… but the tip just broke off! 😭 So now I’m switching to Maybelline — “Maybe she’s born with it!”
I line my eyes — not perfect, but it’ll get fixed once the lashes go on. Remember, my eyes are “sisters,” not “twins,” too!

Step 9: False Lashes – The Struggle!
Step 9: False Lashes – The Struggle!Usually I wear Lily Lashes (mink), but I didn’t have them today, so I’m using another pair.
And guess what I use to glue them on? Hair glue! Don’t judge me, a lot of people do it! 😅
I put a thin line, let it dry a bit, and then use tweezers to apply. Thankfully, they’re behaving today — sometimes it’s a fight!
Step 10: Finishing the Eyeliner
Once the lashes are on, I go back over my eyeliner to make it pop more. I also fill in my brows just a touch darker.
Step 11: Waterline
I use Lash Factory Eyeliner Pencil from Makeup Snob to line my lower lash line and bring that drama!
Step 12: Blush & Highlighter
Now for blush — MAC Blush, then MAC Gold Deposit Highlighter.
I apply it on my cheekbones, nose bridge, Cupid’s bow, chin, and forehead. I might not do it “the right way,” but it’s my way!
Step 13: Covering My Mole
I have a mole that gets super dark after makeup, so I dab a little concealer over it.
And voilà — this is my face! 💁🏽♀️
Step 14: Wig Time!
Now I put on my wig since my natural hair is tied up.
Comes back on camera
Okay y’all, here’s the wig I’m wearing today!
Step 15: Lipstick – The Final Touch 💄
My husband said I can’t forget the lips! I’m using MAC Lady Danger, a burnt orange-red shade.
Normally I use lip liner, but I didn’t bring it today. Still, this color pops!
And that’s it — the final look! My brows may not be perfect, but…
! This is what y’all see on camera when you say, “She looks different!” Now you know what’s behind the glam!
Final Thoughts
I hope y’all enjoyed this video! Don’t judge me — this is how I do my makeup and you asked to see it from start to finish.
Thank you so much for watching, belovies! I’ll have another video tomorrow — maybe another GRWM or a wig try-on, who knows!
See y’all later — Peace! ✌️
