A Polished Makeup Look for a First Date | Monika Blunder

I do believe that less is more when it comes to makeup on a first date. But that doesn't mean you can't play up your eyes a little bit more than usual. It's all about confidence!
A big thank you to my gorgeous model Keeley

your videos are like a holy grail for me before bed. such a calming voice and something about makeup tutorials is calming to me lol. its almost 1am rn and this was uploaded at a prime time! love the look as well :-)

[@lwllc796]

hahaha I always thought I was the only one! I literally always watch her videos before bed to help me fall asleep

[@TheBridgieful]

I'm the exact same. Whenever i'm doing exams I just listen to her voice and feel soothed to my core

[@hey_its_heather]

Love your videos so much! I'm so over all the "Instagram" makeup looks out there, way too heavy and over the top. Love the more laid back sophisticated looks you create!

[@evetfranco2539]

I agree! her brows are to die for

[@melissabroudin8389]

Great video as usual, Monika! This look is so nice yet so simple. Can't wait for another video, I'm a huge fan! Love from France

[@JenniferMyers]

She looks so beautiful! That Smashbox cream stick looks so pretty. I am tempted haha

[@savannahbell5674]

Gorgeous makeup! And model!

[@ivy4559]

I am such a huge fan and I respect your art because it's not just "KZbin" makeup or "Instagram makeup" or "let me sell you this product." My only wish is that you had a model that looked more like me! And by me I mean mid 30's with some redness and actual pores. I loved the look you did on Chelsea! It's just hard for me, an average mom from Kentucky, to envision this on myself when the model has no flaws! 🙁

[@shelleylooby3115]

Monika, you look absolutely gorgeous in the intro to this great video. Thanks for the wonderful tips.

[@monikablunder]

Thank you Shelley, so sweet of you!!!!!!! xoxo Monika

[@larissagenicot7035]

Really love your video's and the looks your doing!! It's so beautiful and natural. Nothing like all the stuff you see on instagram these days, where everyone is putting on so much make-up to cover there beautiful faces. xoxo

[@ChelePer]

Such a beautiful look, Monika. And her brows!!! 😍😍 I don't comment often, but I'm always watching and absolutely love your videos. You put out consistently professional, original, relevant, beautiful content, and I can tell you work so hard on your videos...you're just amazing. Thank you!

[@YcrowsfootY]

:) "I mean, can we talk about your brows?" No, we can't. No words.

[@jasminaslan7078]

ultimate brow goals! beautiful lady and gorgeous make up!

[@rachelm8756]

Yasemin Aslan ikr!!!

[@amandatankink51]

The model is gorgeous! Loved the look monika

[@Noralet101]

you make skin always looks so effortless and flawless! I would love for you to do a "foundation" video, where you explain what kinda brushes are the best and how to hold the brush, what kind of pressure ect. :) Love your videos!! xxx

[@monikablunder]

Great idea, you should take my Masterclass this week, I will give lot's of foundation tips that day xoxo Monika

[@evetfranco2539]

the eyeshadows complemented her eyes very well

[@blondesided3498]

Can we re-name Monika's description bar "My Shopping List"? Love this look-beautiful model, beautiful work, beautiful artist. 😍

[@gayemcnown4416]

Beautiful look....as ALWAYS!!!!!!!

[@cherylvonappen3470]

Lovely Monika! I really enjoy watching your videos and love your techniques.

[@maddywitt3125]

can you do a video with like your all time favorite products or just go through like your fav product by category like bronzer, blush, eye palette, concealed etc. i really want to buy more makeup and i when no clue what's good

[@ninalovesbeautygr]

Yeeeeeaaaaah new video!!!!

[@sheadorris]

So pretty! Do you have any suggestions for an under eye setting powder for mature skin? I'm 45 and my under eyes are so creepy. Powder makes them look worse but if I dint set my concealer, my mascara transfers and I have black rings within an hour. Thanks for any advice!

[@giorgialopez]

I love your videos. Makeup goals 💕

[@tashadaisy2417]

Monika blunder is my ASMR

[@MrSuperChique]

Me too

[@LauraSofia0394]

love this! could you possibly do a makeup tutorial with ppl who have light acne and some pigmentation from breakouts? i have that problem right now but i still want the natural look without applying heavy foundation to cover my imperfections

[@janemilroy7494]

Yes gorgeous and same ? What real techniques brush did you use ... thank you

[@sarag2809]

What is the name of the it cosmetics brush? Great makeup 😀

[@chantellelovesgreen]

I love your top Monica!

[@monikablunder]

Thank you so much, I got it at Intermix a few month ago, it is very grandma but there is something so sweet about this top that I got it, hehehe xoxo Monika

[@shontirodchanmana8447]

Wow! I love that brownish grey made her eye pop, by the way, it's too dramatic when I try on my medium Indian skin tone.Hope that you will make a tutorial for us.I'll stay tune xoxo

[@MCglamour217]

How do you clean the mascara when you use it straight from the tube like that?

[@shaynarose4254]

SUPER pretty!!!!

[@kikideberlin]

Beautiful girl! Love the eye makeup, would you recommend the same colors for blue eyes?

[@makeupwithmichelle9398]

Beautiful look.

[@jessicaburgundy5041]

Gorgeous! 👌

[@ionasimpson1116]

Wish you would have a bigger variety of models that don't have such beautiful, flawless skin so that people like me with blemishes would understand what certain types of makeup would look on our skin. Other than that I love your work xo

[@sambonavita3375]

Iona Simpson she also only uses pale girls. like i'm v pale but i don't think it's fair to darker skin girls

[@ivy4559]

Iona Simpson omg I feel the same way! I commented that above too!

[@darkanddandy6898]

To be honest, I don't understand why you're just relying on her to do that for you when you have all of youtube at your disposal to find that information. She works on people who have the access to keep really good care of their skin so she's not the kind of artist that I would go to for corrective makeup. If you want to find out how to deal with blemishes, look for a youtube with blemishes.

[@doconnor04]

So gorgeous!!!

[@YcrowsfootY]

4:46 *Real Techniques.

[@CKennedy2013]

Yay a new video x

[@rinate4048]

amazing as always ! tnx for sharing! xx

[@leahc4744]

Hi Monika. Love your videos and love this look. Was at Nordstrom today wanting to buy the Laura mercier caviar stick in steel but no longer available. It was a limited edition. Is there another cream stick in similar shade in diff brand you can recommend? Is it a silver color? Hard to tell from video. It's it more grey or silver ? Thanks !!! You do such wonderful work!!!

[@monikablunder]

Hi Lea, grey pearl is very similar but it has a little bit more of a silver effect... thanks for watching xoxo Monika

[@annikanilsson6152]

Beautiful model, gorgeous makeup, brilliant tutorial! :-)

[@camy92]

Soooooo gooooooood!!!! 😍😍😍

[@algol3866]

is it sanitary to use the concealer wand from your kit directly onto models skin?

[@cristinacris752]

that's beautiful, Monika! i love it :x

[@TamaraAlarja]

I loved this look ... thank you

[@duchessofdissent5728]

Amazing!

[@manaalg8906]

Amazing...please more tutorials for mature skin

[@littlecicek]

Awesome. Thank you x

[@ВалентинаКочур-с4м]

What top are you wearing?

[@MGMNMS]

Please tell us where your top is from!

[@sophie2946]

Can you do a video with a porcelain skinned woman please :) In lots of videos I see they always apply a darker foundation rather than one matching x

[@alexpislaru4828]

So nice

[@MissLavenderSparkle]

Beautiful makeup look! :)

[@MissLavenderSparkle]

Sound on your videos seems to be very low and hard to hear.

[@MyMaria1224]

Gorgeous!!! What brush from real techniques did you use to blend the cream shadow?

[@ElizaNova]

Looks like the base shadow brush

[@blondesided3498]

melissa pintone- yep that's the one. I think it's only 4 dollars! I have quite a few in my kit. They are great for blending cream shadows and even for applying eye primer. It's also the right size for under the brow highlight. Such a great multi tasking brush.

[@kitty6720]

I think she misspoke and called it IT cosmetics brush.

[@mayhem4234]

I just wondering why she didn't mentioned RT brush and gave it little credit as other brands mentioned!

[@MandyDavisMUA]

How come I can't see any of the comments on your videos? It tell me how many there are, but they are not posted. :(

[@missOhdrey]

Mandy Davis MUA it does that to me from time to time on random videos. I think its a glitch of the app

[@Zetka273]

her eyes just lightened up when you said Tom Ford! haha ❤

[@milenamengestab7147]

Can you please do another model with some melanin next I've been waiting for one for ages

[@Cinderella-zg7vs]

Love your videos but please do some videos on deeper skin tones!

[@GaryBrink]

[@chevybrown3931]

Omg you nailed the word! Obnoxious highlighter LOL!

[@TheWatyfly]

wish we could buy rosie for autograph also in the rest of europe

[@valbeliard]

I agree that on your first date you should try to look natural to show a more accurate image of how you really are, but not everyone can get away with a lightweight foundation if you have problematic skin or acne. So i think foundation is a personal choice, the rest of the make up liked eyes and lipstick you can decide how natural you want to go. Not everyone has perfect skin like the model in this video.

[@vincentphan2008]

Beautiful, except I could not over ride my ocd and ignore the pink undertone of the foundation base.

[@Makeupbykimberlyp]

I don't understand how Monica uses every product out of the tube instead of using disposables. Does she give the makeup to the model or throw it out?

[@callalys]

I d Love to have a tutorial for Blondes, too. Could you do a "Jade Butterfield" Make-up tutorial? (Gabriella Wilde)?

[@ludabondar6678]

Monika, Please do a recreation you did on Megan Fox... Renato Campora posted a picture #tbt @GQ love the whole look. Thank you.

[@VincitiXx]

So gorgeous. Is this me or the eye makeup is too complicated for amateurs?😳

[@sarahkalnajs5810]

Beautiful tutorial! I notice you use restyle links to products. There's a person currently going through all the beauty "gurus" on KZbin reporting anyone who doesn't have the totally transparent disclosure of financial gain from those links required by the FTC - I'm not sure exactly what you need to say but whoever does your info boxes for you may want to check. Too many great content providers are getting unnecessary strikes when very few of them (and I'm certain not you) are trying to be sneaky and take advantage of their subscribers.

[@KC71180]

I REALLY wish you would fix the volume on your videos. They are so quiet that I have to turn the volume up as high as it will go but your intro music is so overly loud it's shocking. I watch youtube constantly and your videos are the only ones like this of the people I watch so its not a problem on my end. Just want to be able to keep watching your videos :)

[@elby5190]

Such a perfect soft sexy eye. Love it!

[@Zetka273]

monika! are you polish? :)

[@monikablunder]

I am from Austria... close , hehehe xoxo Monika

[@ildivofan1ful]

I would love to see makeup on a 40 year old woman with a small amount of wrinkles under the eyes.
