Sorry, that wasn't the official site. Ravenclaw?

Maybe somebody else should do this video.

Do you want to wear glasses, but you don't have anything brightly colored or flowing that you can wear with them. Well, I've got you covered. Today I'm going to show you how to do a fun makeup look, that's super simple, super easy, and will definitely go with any of our fun frames that we have on the boards for you guys.

Hi. You know how people say like, take women swimming on the first date.


00;01;20;27 - 00;01;26;17
I would literally rather drown than somebody see me without makeup on. So I've already got my baseline.
I needed to preserve at least some of my dignity. So today I'm just going to be doing like, a bright, bold, eyeshadow look, something that's fun, but also not too crazy or too difficult.
I'm also going to be teaching guys how to do my everyday eyeliner, which I know is super iconic and classic and just a cokey staple. Nobody's ever seen me without it. I really want to give balance between the look and the glasses so that one isn't trumping over the other.
So let's cut to voiceover Coki
and boom, just like that I'm going over now and do. Yeah, We can't hear you. Yep. Okay, that's enough. Okay, so we're going to start off by doing my eyebrows.


00;02;05;08 - 00;02;27;18
If you know this about me, I actually have half eyebrows because I shaved them off, so it would be easier for me to draw them on while doing my makeup. I don't recommend doing this. It's tremendous upkeep, but yep, I'm just going in with some brown. I always do my eyebrows before I do my eyeshadow so I know how big I should blend out this is always the easiest part of my makeup routine.
Full stop. And of course I had to show my coworkers.


00;02;31;10 - 00;02;42;00
So basically what we're going to be doing is kind of like a rainbow on our face.
I'm going to do some pink out here and blended into the blush so that it kind of looks like it's just like a rainbow coming up over your face, like very prismatic.
We're gonna start out with a little bit of eyelid primer. It's literally just white. It's going to help everything become a little bit more vibrant. Now, I did wash my hands before doing this, so don't worry. I'm not just putting grubby little fingers all over my face. So with my Muppet palette, I just kind of used this nice, like, light pink color.


00;03;10;16 - 00;03;17;05
Next I'm going to go in with everybody's favorite capitalist, Lisa Frank's palette next is orange.
So I'm really just blending in the orange with the pink just to kind of start off with those warm colors on the outside. That way I can blend it into the blush then after pink and orange and yellow. So I'm just blending it into the orange.
We're just going to skip over green and go to blue because we're just trying to keep it nice, light and airy. And besides, when we blend in the blue with the yellow, it'll show up green. Anyway,
thank you to all of you for explaining basic color theory. So I'm just going to add some purple into the inner corners to round out the full rainbow, and then I'm going to brighten everything up and just touch it up and make sure everything is nice and blended.


00;03;50;07 - 00;03;56;04
Then add some white on the mileage to bring them out. And here in a second you're going to hear my coworker ask me what I want for McDonald's.
No, are you sure? Can you get me another hashbrowns? Anything else? Sprite or anything?
(Baby Come Back by player plays)
Yes, please.
Now, to add some definition, I'm adding like a dark maroon color to my outer corners of my eye just to kind of bring them out a little bit.


00;04;24;07 - 00;04;46;06
All right. Now it's time for the eyeliner. I start off by drawing a straight line from my outer corner out to about the way that I want it, and then I just connect that to my crease, like so. And then I go on my inner corner and I basically just draw a line to connect the inner corner with the outer line that I just finished drawing.
This usually takes me about 15 minutes on each eye every morning. Then I draw a line underneath my eye to fully connect everything and make sure I look like a total raccoon or a cat. Either one is fine by me. Now I want you to mentally prepare yourself for the tragedy that's about to unfold. Yeah, I was shocked because that has never happened to me before.


00;05;07;29 - 00;05;13;28
Nothing that concealer can't fix (Baby Come Back by layer plays)
and I just copy and paste exactly what I just did but onto my other eye. But see that was some new spider. At least I keep my lashes in a case as opposed to the bathroom counter, like some sort of heathen.
Speaking of heathens, here's a little cameo for everybody.
So this is the finished look. I did add a little bit of black to my crease. Just add a little bit more definition. I'm more of a dark makeup kind of person.
So I tried on a lot of the frames that we have out there on our boards. I really like these pink ones, but I also really like these orange ones.


00;05;52;29 - 00;06;11;20
But unfortunately I also really like these black and yellow ones. But unfortunately I also really like these green ones with the neon yellow stripe. But I also really like these purple and blue ones. They match my hair really well. I like the shape as well, but I also really like these circle fade ones. They kind of match my old glasses.
I also really like these other purple ones. Again, they kind of match my hair, so I was like kind of torn. But I also really like these really cute Kate Spade that kind of look like a flowery meadow and then I really like these black ones too, because I kind of felt super serious in them. But nothing can really beat my good old fashioned, everyday pair.
