00:00Was it a good summer?
00:02Actually, it was.
00:03I cried a lot, but so well.
00:04I cry a lot in real life, too.
00:05Show me, like, a sad video on TikTok.
00:07I'll cry in the morning.
00:08I cry over everything.
00:10Hi, Lore.
00:11This is Melanie Moreno, and this is my 10-minute beauty routine.
00:18So this is, like, my everyday makeup look.
00:20Every time I'm in a rush or where I'm going,
00:22I feel like this is, like, the foundation of my look.
00:24I focus on, like, the cheeks and the lips.
00:25I have this odd thing where I have to have them match,
00:28or it just doesn't make sense in my head.
00:31So, yeah.
00:32First thing I use is this spray.
00:34I don't know how to pronounce it,
00:35but you can take a screenshot and figure it out.
00:38It's kind of like this truffle, white truffle spray,
00:42and it kind of hydrates my face.
00:45I'm not really a matte girl.
00:47Even in the summer, I want to look dewy.
00:49I want to look wet, like I came out of the ocean.
00:51The next thing I use is this Outset Boosting Oil.
00:55It's kind of my favorite oil just because
00:57it's not very oily, which I love.
01:04That's kind of all I do for skincare when I'm doing my makeup.
01:06For foundation, I keep it very light.
01:09I use the Mary Phillips Serum Foundation.
01:12I mix these two because I'm either really tan
01:15because I'm outside too much,
01:16or I'm either inside in my house
01:18trying not to have any social interaction
01:21because I had way too much for the last month.
01:23So I'm probably too pale right now
01:25because I have been hibernating.
01:26When I was younger,
01:28I actually used to sit and do my makeup.
01:32It would be like late at night.
01:33It could be like midnight,
01:34and I would go in the mirror
01:36and I'll do my makeup for no reason.
01:38Like I had nowhere to go, nothing to do,
01:40but for some reason doing my makeup
01:41was kind of like my therapy.
01:43I would like do hot pink eyeshadow
01:45with like glitter and blue eyeshadow,
01:47and I was a very big makeup person.
01:49I would steal my mom's makeup all the time,
01:51and she would catch me,
01:52and I would get in big trouble.
01:53I will say as I'm getting older,
01:54I've learned to keep it minimal.
01:56Like I'll keep buying the same color blush
01:59from every single company.
02:01The next thing I use is this Dior concealer.
02:05I love this little brush.
02:07It's like an actual brush
02:09instead of one of like the,
02:10I don't even know how to explain it,
02:11but I just really like this brush.
02:18My mom was a really big makeup girl.
02:20Like everything I do is me copying my mom.
02:25The way I describe my mom is like,
02:27yes, she's my mom,
02:28but for some odd reason,
02:29me and my mom feel like we have this weird connection
02:31where we bond way more than mother and daughter.
02:35It's kind of like even way more than a best friend.
02:37It's very weird, but I love it
02:39because I understand her in ways
02:41that you shouldn't understand your mom,
02:42and I'm so like forgiving and understanding
02:44as her as a mom
02:45because I think sometimes we forget that,
02:47well, this is her first time being a mommy.
02:48She does not know what she's doing.
02:49She's kind of just like figuring it all out too.
02:52So I kind of give her a lot of grace as well.
02:53Okay, back to the makeup
02:55because then we're going to get sentimental in here.
02:57I'm going to talk about my mom, I'm not crying.
02:59I do this thing with my concealer
03:01where I just let it sit.
03:03I feel like it gets a little tacky
03:04and I feel like maybe I'm delusional,
03:06but it makes it a little bit more full coverage.
03:09So while that's going on,
03:10I kind of just do my brows.
03:14Sorry, I'm gatekeeping.
03:15It's actually NYX brow pencil.
03:18I actually use two
03:19just because I like my eyebrows in the lighter,
03:22like in the lighter side,
03:23I don't really like matching my eyebrows to my hair.
03:26I don't know if you guys remember 2016 eyebrows.
03:28I had them and I think I just learned my lesson
03:30that I just cannot ever like do dark eyebrows again.
03:35After I'm done my brows,
03:36that's when I start blending my concealer.
03:38Doing my makeup in the villa was kind of like,
03:41think about when your mom is like,
03:43hey, do you want to come here with me really quick?
03:45And it's a place you need makeup,
03:46so you're like rushing to do your makeup
03:48because you don't want to look a mess.
03:49That is like doing your makeup in the villa.
03:51Like you have to,
03:52you're kind of rushing to get ready.
03:53When you woke up from the villa,
03:55you would wake up.
03:56I would run upstairs,
03:57like because I knew I take the longest.
03:59I'm the last one out all the time
04:00because I'm the one chatting the most.
04:02I would go pick a bikini.
04:04I would always say in the villa,
04:05like your thing is wake up and put a bikini on,
04:08wake up and put a bikini on,
04:09wake up and put a bikini on.
04:11That's literally what we did every day.
04:13We woke up and put a bikini on
04:15and we would put it on,
04:17figure out what mood I'm in.
04:18I'm like, okay, Melanie,
04:19are you in a good mood
04:20or you're just not in the mood today?
04:22Are we just like going to focus on the hair,
04:23work the hair
04:24so that we don't have to do that much makeup?
04:26It just depends how I woke up.
04:28Now I do bronzer.
04:31My favorite, favorite bronzer in the world
04:32is the Chanel bronzer.
04:34I love this bronzer because it lasts forever.
04:36I've had this for a very long time
04:38and it's never running out.
04:40Makeup does have an expiration date.
04:43Do I listen to that?
04:45No.
04:45It expires when I'm done using it
04:47because absolutely not.
04:48I paid so much money for this.
04:50You're not expiring
04:51and that's bad
04:52but this is why you shouldn't listen
04:54to everything I say.
04:56So I like putting this on my forehead.
04:58I'm very messy with my makeup.
05:00I don't, it works out for me.
05:01I don't know why
05:02but I put it all over my forehead.
05:06On my cheeks.
05:08What I like about this is
05:09it's like transitioning me to look burnt.
05:12Like I want to look burnt
05:13like if I just sat in the sun
05:14for five hours
05:16or I fell asleep.
05:18That's the vibe we're going for.
05:21Banna Cube.
05:24I feel like in the villa
05:25we all kind of were like makeup girls.
05:28We all had things
05:28that we wanted from each other
05:30whether it was like a spray
05:31or an eyeshadow.
05:33Like I think all of us
05:34are just very big makeup girls.
05:36Trinity sometimes would do like
05:37Anaya's eyeshadow.
05:38I was very big on like blush.
05:40Like Kata also loved doing
05:42like a really cool like eyeshadow.
05:45I think we all just grew up
05:46very into glam.
05:47So my favorite, favorite part
05:49of like my whole makeup routine
05:51is two things.
05:52It's the lips and the blush.
05:53Every day in the villa
05:54if you found me
05:55I was doing my blush.
05:56Like I was just in there
05:57I'm like is that enough?
05:58And the girls would yell at me
05:59and be like Melanie
06:00like it looks good
06:01but you need to stop.
06:02For blush I use this road blush
06:04which I love
06:05because I could just put it
06:06in my purse
06:07and reuse it
06:08throughout the whole day
06:09because I feel like
06:09if your blush look good
06:10and your lips look good
06:11your makeup just looks good.
06:13So.
06:16I use so many shades
06:17but for this one
06:18this is the
06:20Toasted Teddy.
06:21I like this color.
06:24So.
06:25My makeup is
06:27brushes dirty.
06:28I respect makeup artists
06:29so much
06:30because they constantly
06:31just sit there
06:31and like they have to
06:32keep cleaning these brushes.
06:33I will just buy a new one.
06:35I'm sorry.
06:36I can't.
06:37I don't have the energy.
06:38I used to work
06:39three jobs after
06:40like before this
06:42so I didn't have the time.
06:43I was a manager
06:44at a bikini store
06:45and then I worked
06:45at another store
06:46and then I nannied at night
06:47so I didn't have time
06:49to clean my brushes.
06:50I kind of had to sleep
06:51you know.
06:51I also put some blush
06:53on my forehead.
06:54It's a must for me.
06:56I must put
06:57blush on my forehead.
06:58I don't know why.
06:59It's not for everyone.
07:00I know some people
07:01don't like it.
07:01I kind of love it.
07:03It looks like a lot right now.
07:04Just give me a sec.
07:08This is where
07:09the beauty blender comes in.
07:12My beauty blender is dirty.
07:14Don't judge me.
07:15You guys want
07:16the real makeup routine
07:17or not you know.
07:18I start blending it
07:19because it does become a lot
07:21but when you blend it
07:22I feel like that's
07:23when you look burnt.
07:27Afterwards I go in
07:28with a powder
07:28and this is a powder I use.
07:30I can I was trying
07:31to buy a new one
07:32so that you guys
07:32didn't see how broken
07:33this is.
07:36It's very broken
07:37but I went to Sephora
07:38and I couldn't find it
07:39and also it doesn't even
07:40have the color
07:40on the back anymore.
07:41It still has a sticker
07:42from being in the villa
07:44because they have to
07:45cover all of the brands
07:47but it's one size.
07:48I promise.
07:50I set my under eyes
07:53to you.
07:59I honestly feel like
08:00watching back my
08:01um
08:03the clips
08:04my makeup looked better
08:05but I remember
08:06when it was movie night
08:07and I saw myself
08:08and I was like
08:09oh I need to add
08:09more makeup.
08:10That was actually
08:11a thought that I had
08:12when it was movie night.
08:13I was like
08:13oh shoot
08:14like I did not look
08:15good that day
08:16and that's when I
08:16started adding more
08:17foundation to my makeup
08:18because I was like
08:19that's not a good look.
08:21Um but now looking at it
08:22I did like my makeup.
08:23I was like okay.
08:24I like that I did
08:25the same thing every day
08:26unless it was nighttime
08:27then I added a little bit more
08:28but this was always
08:29like the base of my makeup.
08:31This is a blush
08:31that I use on top.
08:32I kind of do it
08:34after my powder
08:34just because
08:35I feel like
08:36I don't
08:37I don't know
08:38something with my brain
08:38but it's a nude kiss.
08:40Again I'm also very weird
08:41with my placement of blush.
08:43I kind of like it
08:44under my eye.
08:47A meme that I was shocked of.
08:51My favorite one
08:52is me smiling like this
08:54because I
08:55that's actually me
08:56when someone tells me something
08:58and I don't want to
09:02show
09:02that I'm like shocked about it
09:05but I'm trying to show
09:06that I'm supportive
09:06so I'm like
09:07but it got
09:08um
09:10compared to the obsession movie
09:12which is actually so crazy
09:13because while I was in there
09:15I was saying this line
09:17like no no no
09:18we actually all were
09:19but I was actually saying that line
09:22the whole time
09:22in the beginning
09:23so maybe that's why.
09:25What else?
09:27The give me 10
09:28shocked me.
09:29I will say that.
09:30The give me 10 meme
09:31shocked me
09:31because I say give me 10
09:34like
09:35all the time.
09:36It's a thing that I would
09:36always say at work
09:37I'm like oh give me 10
09:38like give me a sec.
09:39So now when I say it
09:41it kind of
09:41I freeze
09:42because I'm like oh shoot
09:42I forgot it's a meme.
09:44So now I have to be like
09:44give me 15 or something.
09:46I actually need more time now.
09:48I don't need 10
09:48I need 15.
09:51Okay.
09:53Now I'm gonna do my lips.
09:54Everyone is asking me
09:55what was my lip?
09:57Combo.
09:59That's why I didn't reply
10:00because it's like 20 things.
10:03First thing I do
10:04is I use the Summer Fridays
10:06Pecan lip liner.
10:08It's like this reddish color
10:10which kind of matches my cheeks.
10:25Then I use the Makeup by Mario
10:28that has gone through a lot
10:29and Travis
10:30to kind of like
10:31blend it out.
10:40Okay well I'll say I'm very
10:41like obsessive
10:42with my lips.
10:43I feel like I need to sit down
10:44and do it for like
10:4520 minutes
10:46because I feel like
10:47my lips don't look right.
10:48I feel like the whole makeup
10:49just looks bad.
10:50So I do sit and do my lips
10:52for a really long time.
10:53I then go with
10:55the Mary Phillips
10:57Siggy stick
11:00and tickled pink
11:01and I just put it right in the middle.
11:08Then I go with
11:09the YSL
11:12Candy Glaze.
11:18I kind of got to this concoction
11:20because I kind of wanted to find
11:23an everyday color for my lips.
11:25I would look at a lot of my friends
11:26and they were a little fair
11:27so I feel like
11:28they could find like
11:29the perfect pink lip for them.
11:31But I feel like for me
11:32I'm kind of tan
11:32so what is that
11:34perfect everyday color
11:36because it's not pink
11:36and it's also not brown
11:38so I think I kind of
11:39just wanted to find
11:40the perfect everyday
11:41my lip but better
11:42because I was just like
11:43I got a little jealous
11:44I'm like oh you could just
11:45get one lip liner
11:45and you just
11:46it's like your lips but better.
11:48So I was kind of just
11:48looking for that myself.
11:50I found something close.
11:51I love the Mary Phillips one.
11:53I always ended off
11:53with this one.
11:54It kind of is like
11:55this cool tone brown
11:58and it
11:59kind of
12:01deletes the red
12:02a little bit
12:02so it can look
12:04a little bit natural.
12:04It gets better
12:05through the wear.
12:06After a couple hours
12:07I promise you
12:08it looks like
12:09your lips look better.
12:17So this is what
12:18you end up with.
12:19I got one more thing
12:20and then I'm done
12:21I promise.
12:22Usually I do like
12:23lip gloss
12:23so I always end it off
12:25with the Dior lip gloss.
12:28I don't even know
12:28what shade this is
12:29but I love this lip gloss
12:30when I'm done with it
12:32I need to figure out
12:33what color is this.
12:38I'm almost done.
12:39I'm always done.
12:41Then I use mascara.
12:42I love the
12:43Lancome mascara.
12:44It's waterproof.
12:45I'm an empath.
12:45I'm always crying
12:46so I need
12:47waterproof mascara.
12:54First thing I did
12:55when I got home
12:55from Fiji
12:56I slept
12:57and I talked
12:58to no one.
12:59I think none of us
13:00talked.
13:00Actually we tried
13:01to like
13:02spend some time
13:03alone without each other
13:05and it didn't work.
13:06We kind of are like
13:07all of us
13:08are stuck together.
13:09We're very protective
13:10of each other
13:11so I spent
13:12a couple days
13:13alone in my
13:13apartment
13:14and then I went
13:15to go see my friends
13:17but I think I've just
13:18spent a lot of time
13:19alone in my house.
13:20You don't get much
13:21time alone
13:22in the villa.
13:23You actually don't
13:24get any time
13:25to yourself at all
13:26so I think
13:26when I landed
13:27the only thing
13:27I wanted to do
13:28was like
13:28be alone for a minute
13:29especially after
13:30the shock
13:32from how I walked
13:33in the villa
13:34to how I walked
13:34out of the villa.
13:35I gave my phone away
13:37and when I got
13:38my phone back
13:39and I got out
13:39the villa
13:40a lot of people
13:41knew me
13:41and it was kind
13:42of like a shock
13:43and it's still
13:44a shock to me.
13:45Even now
13:46I'm still trying
13:47to get used to it
13:49but yeah
13:49I've been spending
13:50a lot of time
13:51by myself
13:51and when I be
13:52by myself
13:53sometimes the girls
13:53be at my house
13:54sleeping over
13:55it'd be two girls
13:55in my bed
13:56it's a queen bed
13:57and we just
13:57all share a bed.
13:59I think Love Island
14:00every single day
14:00because they're
14:00my best friends
14:01in the whole world
14:01they're like my sisters
14:02like they're actually
14:03my sisters
14:04I even talk
14:04to their parents
14:06so that's how
14:06close we are.
14:07Okay
14:08last thing for eyes
14:09I always use a black liner
14:10this is the Makeup
14:11Forever black liner
14:13and I just
14:18see
14:18you need a black liner
14:20you need a black liner
14:23that's so good
14:25then I use
14:27brow gel
14:29to keep the
14:30eyebrows up
14:31this is like
