  • Hello, lovely people!

  • So, this video is just what you asked for:

  • An extended cut of Claudia and I doing each other's make-up

  • It's a wife and wife make-up swap, and it was...interesting.

  • Some bits are going to be the extended goodness that you've already seen, and some are just completely new

  • Random anecdotes and stuff that we chatted about

  • for an hour and a half

  • whilst doing each other's make-up.

  • So, I mean, that's what you get when you marry your best friend.

  • So, without further ado

  • Make-up!

  • J: So, what we're gonna do is swap the make-up that we use.

  • Generally. So the make-up I use on myself, I'm gonna put on your face

  • and vice versa.

  • So we've got our little make-up bags in front of us.

  • J: Well, that's not true. C: No, I've got MY make-up bag.

  • C: Jessica's got her entire make-up drawer.

  • J: Do you wanna go first?

  • C: All right. What do I do after foundation?

  • J: So what do you normally do after you've done your foundation?

  • C: OK, well, this is a relatively new thing for me, but

  • I've started to do minimal sculpting.

  • Contouring/sculpting.

  • Whatever.

  • OK, so I use a light contour on day-to-day wear

  • and then maybe a medium contour for work.

  • I mean, for going out.

  • J: No, Claudia daytime. We'll do Claudia daytime. C: OK, my day-to-day wear.

  • J: I am a very pale person.

  • J: Just to remind you. C: I'll go for the soft contour on you, then.

  • C: Then we'll go for the highlights, so...

  • Do you want a radiance or a matte?

  • To be fair, I always go for matte, so I don't know why I'm asking.

  • I'll put matte on.

  • J: Except the other day you wore radiance, then you look like a skull.

  • C: I feel like this highlight isn't as white on you as it is on me.

  • For me, it's an obvious highlight; on you, it's like I can't even see it! It just looks like a mid-tone for you.

  • J: You can use the radiance one if you like. C: Yeah, maybe I'll have to use my evening one.

  • C: Whoops! Sorry!

  • J: OK! Well, I don't contour my face.

  • J: I just cover the entire thing in powder.

  • So...

  • C: It's very pearlescent for my face there.

  • J: The only powder I have--I wanted to use a new sponge for you, obviously

  • (very sanitary and whatnot), but this was the only one I had.

  • So...

  • J: You're going to feel like your face is just caked in powder.

  • That's going to be the feeling.

  • C: Oh no. That's the complete opposite to what I like.

  • J: Jesus! OK! [?]

  • J: Stop scratching your stupid face.

  • J: It's not a stupid face, I love it.

  • J: It's a lovely face.

  • C: You can't just insult me and then go, "It's not stupid!" [mimics kissing]

  • J: Yes, I can! That's marriage.

  • C: "Thanks for cooking dinner, darling. It's disgusting! But I love youu!"

  • C: "Don't ever cook again!"

  • C: "Don't worry, it's marriage."

  • J: Compliment sandwich!

  • C: Next stage for you...

  • J: Blusher?

  • J: You're staring at me!

  • C: Because, despite my make-up being more [?]--your upper lip is sweating.

  • J: Oh!

  • C: Everyone knows I get a sweaty upper lip.

  • C: You're wearing my make-up. Thus, you have a sweaty upper lip.

  • J: It's really weird having someone else poke your eye. C: Yeah.

  • J: When it's you, you're so prepared.

  • So ready.

  • J: This feels very random.

  • C: Good. J: Excellent.

  • J: Thank you.

  • J: Now I'm gonna do blusher on you.

  • J: Oh, my God. OK. The eyebrows are going to be pretty interesting.

  • J: I just use pencil, and I have a very--like a little vintage line.

  • Also, my natural eyebrows. Look how long/ridiculously short they are.

  • C: Your eyebrows are not actually ginger.

  • J: No! Weirdly, my eyebrows are jet black.

  • J: When I was a little kid, I was really blonde,

  • but with jet black eyebrows.

  • C: Whoa.

  • J: That's not a good reaction!

  • J: "Woah!" C: No, no. Let me just...

  • C: pinch this in a bit.

  • J: What is that you've put on my face?!

  • C: That is literally just me following your natural brow.

  • J: I'm gonna close the door.

  • C: In case someone comes in and goes, "You, in the eyebrows!"

  • C: They look nice from afar!

  • J: Warn me before you squish your face up. C: I've got an itch in my nose.

  • J: Itch your nose.

  • C: Right, next bit's gonna be interesting.

  • J: What's the next bit? C: Eye shadow.

  • J: Oh, God.

  • C: I'm literally just doing how I do it on myself,

  • but your anatomy's a bit different. Like, I go up to here with my bone

  • --to my brow bone, but you don't have one, so...

  • J: Yep. Just go to my eyebrow.

  • C: It's not that bad.

  • C: Oops, sorry, I should tell you to shut your eyes.

  • J: OK!

  • J: Beautiful!

  • C: Oh, is that done?

  • J: No. C: Oh.

  • J: You live in hope.

  • C: I don't understand when girls are having their make-up done,

  • like they'll pay someone to have their make-up--

  • do they actually like the process?

  • Or do you think they just like the end result?

  • C: I like doing things that I know are going to make my whole body feel good.

  • But, then, I guess some girls - or guys - you know, who have their make-up done,

  • maybe that makes them feel like

  • really good.

  • Their whole body. You know?

  • J: I always like

  • the end result

  • but not the actual process.

  • C: Could you warn me?!

  • C: Christ.

  • C: How do you do that to your own face?

  • C: You could get one of those, you know like (just gonna reference what I know),

  • you can get little, um,

  • things that clean the inside of your cameras that blow air

  • and they have a brush

  • - that would probably be quite a good make-up thing

  • 'cause you could go [mimics the blowing]

  • C: and then brush away the... J: Oh yeah!

  • C: Are we going out like this as well?

  • C: Because we're going for like a pub lunch.

  • C: Are you gonna wear it to the pub? J: Yes.

  • C: Are you?! J: You have to wear yours to the pub, as well.

  • C: Nooo!

  • J: Yeah! C: Nooo, no, no, no.

  • J: Oh, wait, so I have to wear your clothes to the pub, but you don't have to wear my clothes to the pub?

  • C: No, OK, fair enough. We'll both feel uncomfortable,

  • C: so... J: Either we both feel uncomfortable or we both feel fine

  • C: Don't squint. God, this is going to be really hard to do.

  • C: All right.

  • J: This is probably going to feel like a lot of eyeliner to you.

  • J: And voila, eyeliner. C: Ta-da!

  • C: Feels very uncomfortable.

  • C: Shall we just do the rest of our make-up ourselves?

  • J: OK. C: Because, like, I don't know.

  • C: I'll just tell you what I do, and you just do it.

  • C: It'll be so much faster.

  • J: There we go. Had to [?]

  • C: Yeah, it was faster.

  • C: I was using my [?] J: OK, onto hair.

  • J: So I've had mine--I tried to curl mine in the same way that yours is naturally curled.

  • C: I wash it and let it dry naturally.

  • If I blow-dry it, it just goes like "poof."

  • C: Or, in the words of a hairdresser, "Your hair is like a pyramid."

  • C: I was quite scarred by that. I was only fifteen, I think, and I was like

  • J: She still mentions it! Yeah.

  • J: Traumatic experience. C: I think it was because I was particularly slim

  • and, you know, had had a bit of a growth spurt

  • and I was just basically a bit of a bean pole.

  • And then just had massive hair.

  • J: But then you did have another hairdresser who shaved the underside of your hair.

  • C: But not in a cool, trendy way! It wasn't like half my head was shaved.

  • J: Yeah, not like you're imagining. C: She literally just lifted up half my hair and shaved the underparts.

  • C: And then just put it back and went, "Look, it's a lot better now."

  • My mum came to pick me up and she was like, "Oh, it looks lovely, darling!" but she hadn't seen the under bit,

  • and as soon as I left, I was like, "Mum, look..."

  • and she was like [dramatic gasp]

  • J: "What the Hell?!"

  • C: She was like, "We should go back and complain and get our money back!"

  • And I was like, "No!" because I was just so embarrassed.

  • J: She refuses to get her money back for anything.

  • C: That's not true, I'm better now!

  • J: Oh, yeah? Like the other night with that drink that was so disgusting.

  • C: Yeah... J: And you were like, "No, we can't tell them that they've made a disgusting drink."

  • "I have to give it to one of our friends instead."

  • C: I was like if I'm gonna buy an alcoholic drink, I want it to be a nice one," because I don't drink that much, so...

  • J: Claud never brushes her hair.

  • C: Your hair looks lovely, but it's not my style.

  • J: It was difficult! My hair is naturally very straight.

  • It doesn't naturally ringlet.

  • J: You touch your hair, I think,

  • how many times?

  • I'm gonna say...

  • at least once a minute.

  • C: Yeah, I know.

  • J: You do this. C: People used to tell me that at school.

  • J: Flick it over here.

  • J: And then you like... C: Well...sorry. That's why it goes up in a bun so often!

  • J: Twist it around. C: Because then I do not touch it.

  • C: It's because that keeps its like--it's because I was so scarred by the pyramid comment!

  • I have to make sure it's no longer a pyramid.

  • J: [?] C: [?]

  • J: I tried to give it no parting.

  • J: I'm gonna brush your hair now. C: Noo, no!

  • C: You don't understand, darling.

  • J: The trauma!

  • C: No! On your hair, when you brush it, look: nothing happens.

  • C: It just goes a little bit more like...

  • C: ...glossy and--look, but look at that, look at that frizz

  • Brush my hair and it will literally be like...

  • J: OK, OK C: ...you've just opened a parasol on my head

  • J: I'm just going to brush the ends!

  • Just the ends, is that OK?

  • Can you live with that?

  • C: I'm not having fun at all.

  • J: See? It's smoother.

  • C: No, it feels itchy.

  • C: I didn't even like my mum brushing my hair.

  • C: I don't know why any-- J: OK, who else does not brush their hair?

  • J: Ever. C: My aunty said she doesn't.

  • C: Just because I have hair that is able to go big,

  • hairdressers and stylists always think, "Cool, we can do really easy big hair on you."

  • J: "We can do so much with this." C: And I'm like but I don't like big hair.

  • J: I'm not putting this bow in your hair, don't panic

  • but I needed a way to make a parting.

  • So I'm just...

  • J: Oh, I don't really like people who wear bows.

  • Weirdly.

  • C: It's all right. I've always dated people with eccentric dress styles.

  • I think I just like individuality.

  • I'm never gonna tell someone how to dress.

  • That doesn't always mean that I agree with their choices of dress.

  • I will just not say anything.

  • C: I've never felt self-conscious going out with someone

  • who wears something different.

  • Maybe because you draw the attention so it's not on me; that's why I like it.

  • J: OK, we got a little insight into Claudia's psychology there.

  • J: Thank you.

  • C: It is true people always want what they don't have.

  • J: Oh, yeah, I'll give you that.

  • J: I've always really wanted curly hair.

  • J: And then people see my straight hair and they're like, "Wow, I wish my hair was as straight as yours!"

  • J: I'm like, "Shut up, no, you don't"

  • C: I've grown to like my hair. I think as you get older you kind of appreciate what you have a bit more.

  • C: It's just like, look, you know, I've learnt how to deal with this now.

  • And dealing with mine is do not brush it and do not cut it

  • above the shoulder

  • because it will end up as a pyramid.

  • C: The pyramid thing is just like my go-to point of 'bad hair'

  • reference.

  • J: The go-to hair hatred!

  • J: I swear, though, especially when you're working on a young person

  • as a hairdresser, you should never tell them something mean.

  • C: Maybe there was a bit of a language barrier, because it was in Malaysia that this man said this to me.

  • [Jessica laughs] Oh.

  • J: Actually, they're really blunt in Malaysia. C: They are really blunt, yeah.

  • C: Like how many times did you get asked, "What is wrong with you?"

  • C: "But why?"

  • C: "Tell us."

  • J: "You use these crutches, I see."

  • J: "Why do you need them?" C: "Why are you on crutches?"

  • J: "Why do you need them?" C: "Why do you need those?"

  • C: Yeah, it's like, "Err..."

  • But that's fair enough if people are just making conversation on the street almost; it's like...

  • J: Is it?!

  • C: Well, no, but you can kind of forgive people who come up, because that's just some strange person, you know,

  • who's a bit nosy and interfering.

  • C: But it's different when we were like at the airport.

  • Those people - it's their job to check people in who need special assistance.

  • And even the special assistance concierge people were asking what your problem was.

  • In England, that's just so--you do not ask that.

  • J: I think it's also illegal.

  • J: You can't just be like, "Give me proof."

  • C: It's like...

  • You're on a train and you show your disabled rail pass; they don't go, "And what is your disability?"

  • C: It's like, "Er, why does it matter to you?"

  • "Doesn't affect you."

  • C: But in Malaysia it felt like they were asking because

  • they were kind of deciding whether you were worthy of a wheelchair or not.

  • C: It's not like they had a limited number; there were like stacks of them piled up.

  • J: I love that! 'There were just stacks of wheelchairs.'

  • J: It's pretty hilarious the number of abled-bodied people

  • who think that disabled people are faking it,

  • yet have NO experience of disabled people.

  • J: Like, "Do you know anyone disabled?" "No..."

  • C: Also, why would you want to fake it?

  • J: Yeah! I always ask this question.

  • Why would anyone fake having a disability.

  • You genuinely get nothing.

  • J: I hope we have daughters and one of them's a girly-girl.

  • J: Or! Sons who have long hair

  • and let me play with it.

  • J: Or children of no specific gender but who have hair C: Basically you just want...!

  • C: If you just say, "I would like a child who likes to let me pamper them."

  • C: "Unlike my wife."

  • J: It's all right, we're almost done. C: I don't mind.

  • J: You don't mind? C: No, I do mind this;

  • C: I mean I don't mind what the child likes.

  • C: If they like to be pampered, that's fine.

  • C: I'm not gonna be like, "No! You cannot be pampered!"

  • "You have to come outside and do gardening with me!"

  • J: I do hope we have one of each, though.

  • Or like if we have three children.

  • C: What, and one likes doing what I like doing?

  • J: Yeah.

  • C: They might like doing both; maybe it just depends what mood they're in.

  • J: That's true.

  • J: OK! Hairspray time.

  • C: Oh, no, I'm gonna smell like my grandma

  • J: [singing] Elnett!

  • J: It's so lovely!

  • J: [singing] Elnett! C: This reminds me strongly of my grand--

  • J: It's so lovely! C: *grandmother,

  • who wore it, and also of speech and drama lessons

  • because whenever I had to perform speech and drama.

  • J: Yeah, yeah, yeah! C: My teacher would come round and be like, "Right!"

  • C: "Next!" [mimics teacher spraying hairspray]

  • C: "Next!" [mimics teacher spraying hairspray] And literally just spray it round all the girl's hair!

  • [Claudia shudders] J: Flashbacks!

  • C: Suddenly all these poems - lines of poetry - are coming to me.

  • J: Oh, my gosh!

  • C: The wintry days and the autumn leaves...

  • C: Whatever.

  • C: I can't actually... J: Oh, no! I thought you were about to break into--that would've been amazing!

  • C: No, I know. J: Darn it.

  • C: All that training and I never--I can't actually remember.

  • Unlike my hair

  • The hairspray did not stick the words into my mind

  • J: Right.

  • J: That was poetic.

  • J: [laughing] Stop moving!

  • C: Like the shampoo and water that washed the hairspray from my hair...

  • the years and time, too, have stripped the memories of those prose

  • from my mind's tongue.

  • C: I'm so fricking weird!

  • C: This may be why I like to hang out with more eccentrically-dressed people.

  • J: Because you're secretly super weird yourself.

  • J: You just didn't want people to know.

  • C: Look, that was not that bad for just off the cuff

  • J: I used to write poetry. It was always about happy stuff, though.

  • C: I have no time for poetry now.

  • C: Too busy with two dogs pestering me, and a wife

  • wanting to pamper me...

  • J: And you're happy! C: ...against my will.

  • J: I love how you just make that sound like such a terrible thing!

  • C: Yes.

  • C: No time for sad sonnets.

  • J: So sorry.

  • C: God, darling, do you have to put this much on?!

  • Christ alive.

  • I have got asthma, you know.

  • J: Lovely! C: Are you done? OK, good.

  • J: You have lipstick on your teeth. C: Aw, man!

  • C: Could've told me!

  • J: There you go, that's Claudia and I putting on each other's make-up.

  • It's a Wife and Wife Did My Make-Up...

  • That might not be the title of this video, because that seems awfully long.

  • If you'd like to see the end result, including the clothes that we switched,

  • including this dress I'm wearing now,

  • then just follow the link down in the description

  • or click the one right up above in the card, which will take you

  • --or the end screen - I also put it in the end screen.

  • It will be everywhere!

  • ...Which will take you to the style swap video

  • and you can see just how well we did.

  • I hope you've enjoyed this video.

  • Give it a little 'thumbs up' if you have

  • because it does help the YouTube algorithm decide whether my video is good or not

  • and thus other people deserve to see it.

  • If you're new here, then subscribe; come on in

  • enjoy the channel,

  • and don't forget that you must now hit the bell for notifications, because that is the only way

  • that YouTube will even tell you that there's a video made.

  • I hope you had a wonderful day, and I shall see you next time!
