can't thank you enough for the kind words :) Yes I start my days early- and sometimes I do get a little cat nap here & there in the afternoons. And I try to sleep in on the weekends!
One thing I really like about you is thst you have a very open way about you. I mean your a TV anchor woman, probably a bit of a celebrity, but I love that you readily admit to the need to pluck daily in order to battle the unibrow. I think at times is so easy to see people on TV who look so perfect, and we compare ourselves to that ideal. I hope this makes sense...I guess I'm just saying thanks for being so real. You rock. :)
I really thought every reporter had a personal make-up artist, a hair stylist and a fashion stylist!! I think it's so cool that you guys make your own looks! xoxo
I am so glad I found you! I graduated in Dec with a bachelors of science in Mass Communications. Becoming a news anchor preferably an entertainment journalist. I would love to talk to you about how you got your start and some tips. I love this makeup! Gorgeous!
Wow, first time I heard you speak days ago, I felt there was something I really liked about you...spoke with poise, intelligence, professionalism. Now I know why....you're a news anchor. Love your videos!
This is the best eye makeup tutorial ever. I bought the NYX Caviar & Bubbles on your recommendation from a previous video and love it. The colors are perfect. What more could you need. And the size is perfect for everyday and travel. I'll never buy one of those large hi-end palettes again. And now I have some new tips on how to apply. You also explained how to connect the bottom eyeliner to the wing so well. Thanks, Laurie
You would be so proud of me, Emily!! I was a guest on a tv interview last week and watched this video the night before so I could follow your tips. The make up lady at VOA was like " you don't need any touch ups, girl, ur make up is perfect!" lol......so thank you, thank you, thank you!!
I'm 36 and JUST getting into makeup to spice up my video marketing. I love your detailed explanation on - well, every step! A lot of tutorials I've been watching, you are the only one who actually explain why you applied that product in a certain way. Thank you so much!
This video was great. Your application techniques can be used by anyone and all of the products are priced just right. Thanks Emily, for helping women around the globe look and feel their best...you're awesome!
Yes, please show us your entire morning routine!!! Also, would love to see a wardrobe video showing how you pick your outfits for the news, colors, styles, patterns, etc.
Would love a video on how to modify your lifestyle and sleep schedule for a job with early starts and longs days. How to plan, how to get through long days, how to adapt to a family with a regular daily schedule, especially on the weekends, etc.
When I was in the USA, I bought many amazing products especially from drugstore because you recommended them. I can't be any happier! Thank you for everything you taught me Emily! You are a true friend, sister and a teacher! LOVE from Turkey!
You are crazily good! True blue newscaster. You can go on and on and on so fluently while doing your makeup to perfection. That's real skill, not just with newscasting, but also with makeup!!
I watch a lot of beauty guru's and a lot of them give great advice, but I seriously think I learned more in this video then I do in several videos from other guru's. You're great at explaining techniques and exactly how you apply your make-up. Thanks for being such a great teacher!
I came across this tutorial and I really like that you dont play up a prissy voice for your videos. 10 thumbs up for that!! I watched the whole 21 minutes without forwarding it was informative and classy. Im now a subscriber. very pretty, natural, and realistic stuff.
I FINALLY found the right color foundation! I bought the one in this video and I am soooo happy!!! My budget is strickly drugstore and I watch all of your tutorials and product reviews. You put so much time and thought into them. I appreciate you. Thank you Thank you Thank you Emily!!!!
Excellent video, Emily. I've been a makeup artist for thirty years; you hit all the bases! Your video is proof that it's technique and good brushes, not expensive products, that create a beautiful look. Love your videos and blog. Wishing you all success!
I bought the revlon bronzer and returned it that day. For some reason it came off looking so orangey even when I used it with a light hand. That's one product I definitely wanted to love
Most helpful video I have ever watched. As a Broadcast Journalism major graduating college in May, I had no idea how to do any of this before now, and was sort of panicking! So THANK YOU!
Yes they do! Powder is one of the most important things for them... they really just need to even out the skin tone & keep from looking shiny. My co-anchor also uses an under-eye concealer to sort of perk-up the undereye area. Besides concealer, powder, and i think some lip balm- that's all he does! (guys have it easy!)
More than anything I like the way you do your eyes. The shadowing is simpler than I have seen in other tutorials and very neutral to go with a variety of colors - clothing wise.
Very well done and helps to know the specific products that you use! And thank you for using the word "tweezing" and not "plucking". It amazing to see so many "makeup guru's" on RU-vid use the work "plucking" when they talk about grooming brows!!
I'd say I usually take between 25 & 30 minutes for makeup alone. I don't like to be rushed, and depending on the new product I'm trying- I'll take less or more time. Like if it's a new eye palette, I tend to take longer because I'm messing with all the colors. But if it's a multi-tasking type of product (like the bronzer/contour product all in one that I show here)- it can cut down the time. So it varies, but my makeup room is my happy place so I'm enjoying every minute! :)
the peachy highlight on the brow and white-peach on the inner eyes was a great tip! i'd never thought of using anything but a white or even a skin colour! :3
I don't usually watch super long videos, but this one had me totally consumed! Thanks for continuing to put out the best of the best beauty videos, you are so easy to watch and have such amazing tips and tricks. LOVE!
Thank you so much for sharing this video tutorial. I have been invited to do a segment on a local talk show and was looking for tips as it will be my first time on television. You have put me at ease and helped me feel more educated and confident moving forward. I appreciate you!
Thank you so much for listing out everything you use. I know it is extra work for you but it makes it so much easier to find an item for the viewers. Really great details and product reviews. Not just the "how to" but "why" as well.
Hi Emily! After reading your blog I just had to tell you that I love your videos. I think that you and your tutorials are far from boring, I have watched many of them over and over. You have inspired me and given me so many great ideas. Keep up the great work. Thank you
this is probably one of the first 20minute videos i actually sat through and watched. i love seeing a full face of makeup done right amazing video!! =)
halleluiah. i am a broadcast journalism major in college and i would love to see videos on what to wear on camera either for a standup or at the desk. and hair tips too. like how to style it and make it look good on camera would be awesome! love ya!
There are two things to avoid for flash photography makeup. They are sunscreen ingredients and silica powder. Use foundations that do not contain sunscreen for events when flash photograhy will be present. Also, avoid any setting powders that have silica as a main ingredient like ELF HD, or NYX HD Studio Finish Powders (the new all white powders) they will all cause white flash back.
I so needed this! I'm currently a junior in high school and I'm interning as a Meteorologist at our local station. I've started some camera work and my makeup never shows right, and I'm too afraid to ask the ladies there bc I'm so much younger than them. Thank You!!
OMG Emily! Words can not express how exited I got when I saw this video pop up in my sub box! I anchor for my school's morning news show and I was absolutely dying and praying to see how you did your makeup for the news! Can't wait to use these tips
Yup, she has an even longer makeup tutorial from like years ago and she talked about how most small town news stations dont have makeup artists (since they probably dont have it in their budget to) :p she wakes up at 1:00 am every day to get ready and go to work! go emily!!
I do theater and I'm also one of the makeup artists and that's literally all the guys and I have to do, too! Except, our director also specifies that everyone should have a bit of blush on, just so we have some color under the bright lights.
I should add that every time I feel lazy about waking up at 7 am for school I always remember to tell myself, "Emily is up at 1 am!!! C'mon girl! Get UP!" He he he! Thank you for inspiring me to man up lol! :)
Love all of your looks and tutorials! Also I like the fact that you sound like your doing the news. That's what keeps you more interesting than other bloggers
Emily you are not only an outstanding beauty guru but an amazing person! The thought and effort you put into your videos really shows and I can always depend on the high quality of advice you give out. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for the video, Emily! I would love if you could share your lighting set up for putting on your makeup when it's so dark out! I've definitely had a few makeup disasters where I've gone out into natural light and found that I looked TOTALLY different than I did in my bathroom mirror at 7 am!
thank you so much!! I was worried I might bore people with the nitty gritty details, but wanted to make sure people who needed the info could have it! :)
really love ur videos, i can relate to u because im also an anchor person on tv, i do have makeup artists but i feel they powder my face way too much thats why after watching you i have started doing my own makeup 😌 its not great yet but i intend to keep watching and learning techniques thanks a lot u have been really helpful 😘
you are so incredibly eloquent. i love watching your videos to inspire me to improve my communication skills :) so excited for the new chapter in your life!
that'a great look for any day on pretty much any job! Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks. I love my Too Face Chocolate matte bronzer nice to know Revlon makes one too! I work in a drs office during the day teach dance at night and of course peform on stage so I am constantly working in tips and tricks for under stages lights under natural lights! Thanks
What a great idea for a video! I'm not on tv often (and if so it definitely isn't HD) but real life is as high definition as it gets so I will definitely be using some of these tips. Thank you
Loved this video Emily! It's so comprehensive and basic enough that people can definitely incorporate this into their day to day, whether they're on HD TV or not! :)
Emily you are so lovely,talented,honest,down to earth makeup guru. I liked the products you used in this video,they are affordable price as well. I love your informative videos.Thanks.
When you started as an anchor did you get any makeup tips or did you just have to find out certain looks didn't look right on camera? Do you still broadcast?
