Somebody
once told me that if you want to achieve something, you have to put it out
there into the universe. And I’m doing precisely that with this rather
adventurous endeavour. I’ve been thinking about it for years and I’ve only just
found the courage to do it. I’m doing this for two reasons - one is because I
love talking about beauty and two being that there are very few brown, Asian
women in the YouTube space. Also, most importantly, I’m doing this in the spirit of acceptance of self. Filming a video barefaced for the whole world to see is disproportionately scary, but also equally liberating. I wanted to keep the video as real as possible, so I’ve done a barely-there makeup look that’s been my go-to for years. I’ve used a mix of old favourites and some new discoveries – all listed in the description box. It’s been a rather cathartic experience and I hope you enjoy the quick three-minute video that’s taken me over 24 hours to film, edit and upload.
