That was really cool. Like we're all just buddies sitting around while you play with makeup on someone else. Great job and what a lovely model Chris is. Hope she thoroughly enjoys her date night with the pugs. Can't think of a better way to spend an evening than with animals.

[@mgromz]

Good job, Shelly! I would love someone to do my makeup. ❤

[@bluecurlygirl]

Me too. I keep annoying my 19 year old daughter to do my makeup and let me do hers (she doesn't wear makeup). She keeps refusing. One day....

[@HeidiIlene66]

Fun fun! Now convince your Mom to be your next model!

[@donnagill9956]

You did a great job, she looks beautiful! ❤

[@bryndabaker6782]

Lovely and fun video--Chris was a great model and a good sport. It was so much fun, even Ziva showed up!

She’s beautiful! Great job! Was fun watching!

So fun....I had fun putting make up on my friends! 😊

That was fun. You did great!❤

[@ambergerhelper7852]

I can’t impress upon you how much I love that thumbnail. 🤣😂🤣

[@Alittleferal]

I appreciate so much that you took the time to talk through how you pick out shades in a palette, that's something I really struggle with! And even showing the shapes of the brushes you used! I learned so much, Thank you! ❤

[@megan4011]

I like it 🎉 She needs to get that shimmer!! And the eyeshadow is beautiful 🥰😊♥️🤗

[@alexe.5277]

Both of you look beautiful ! And your friend also seems so nice 😀. Again such an entertaining video, thank you, girls!!

[@beachfrost3367]

Feels like a slumber party, love it!!! Beautiful job, Sheri. Chris is gorgeous!! The Jones Road bronzer has now sold me, I'm grabbing one!!😁

[@chris.marie26]

We are the make-up comedy show. This was so fun.

[@goow]

It looks like everybody wants you back for more makeup looks! We might have to make a series!

[@chris.marie26]

@@goow that could be fun. You could really bling me out next time.

[@cindymarble1270]

Great job on her eyebrows! She looks lovely.

[@cindypowell6358]

👏👏👏👏 Love this!! This was fun too. I did this a lot as a teenager. Why not do more of these? 💖😊

[@goow]

I have massive imposter syndrome when it comes to doing makeup on other people since I have no real experience at it. I waited a whole day to look at these comments fearing everyone would laugh and tear me apart. It's irrational really because you all are the kindest, best people on the internet... maybe if I do this more often I'll get over that fear!

[@cindypowell6358]

@@goow Shelly you truly are one of the most kind, fun spirited, humble people seriously. I get what you mean. I have a lot of those thoughts/feelings within myself too I battle with. We can be our worst critic sometimes. They say tackle some of what you fear most, as you grow so much that way. I’m working on this too myself. I love watching your content. Thank YOU for all you do & taking out your time for all of watching. 🙏🤗💖♾️

[@karlaharvey2623]

How fun Shelly and Chris. Thank you Chris for allowing Shelly to do your eyeshadows / makeup on UTube. You have such a pretty complexion! Practice every chance you get on doing your brows, I have extremely sparse light brow s,it has taken me almost a yr to get to where I can draw my brows on! Thank you Shelly. This was fun. You two are a hoot.

[@chris.marie26]

Thank you!

So nice I love it 😃💛

Love this!!!

[@charitynordgren8246]

Oh I would love to have a makeover!

[@ambergerhelper7852]

Right?! We all need to get together and give each other makeovers!!! 🤓

[@goow]

That would be the most fun ever! After a Sephora shopping trip of course!

[@binderkim]

This was great! I had a blast with you both having so much fun.

[@jaytoneone]

Sooo fun🤩

[@pwallace5359]

This was so fun! Please do more of your friends or family . I wish someone would do my makeup. I used to do my sisters and my nieces but they didn’t do mine.😂

[@louisemcmillan3576]

That was such a nice departure from the usual. Lovely to see you have fun with a friend. The makeup looked lovely, not too much. Hope Chris enjoyed her date with the her darling puggies 😅❤

[@isadelcarpio]

Beautiful before and after!

[@charityoverman]

Chris, you look exactly like Glenn Close. Gorgeous!!!!!!

[@lady_v_101]

I really enjoyed this Shelly!! It was fun but also informative, as all your vids are, only this one was even more fun!!.. Can we have more? Maybe a younger cousin, and your mum? And of course guest appearances by our favourite kitty xx

[@juliemcmahan1207]

This was SO fun!!! And Chris looked wonderful! Good job Shelly! It's annoying, but my eyes have a heavier droop on the inner part as opposed to the outer part. The inner part of my eyes are "poofier". Does that make sense?? I need a darker color on the inner part of my eyes and a lighter color on the outer. I haven't found anyone doing eye makeup tutorials with this kind of eye shape. Do more of these!!! It's like we're all girlfriends playing around! xo

[@micheleg81]

How fun! Girl, you can do my make-up anytime!

[@lisasanders4818]

Great job Shellie! Her face softly glows , along with the softer pinky eye was muah 💋 chef’s kiss ma dear 🤩💄👏🏻❤️😘

Really enjoying the video! Your tie dye is AWESOME!

Thank you!! I made it =D

[@amydaniels6442]

I love it! It turned out beautifully! I’ll volunteer to be the next sit in … if only the entire US didn’t separate us! 😂😂😂

[@goow]

Someday I'm going to be free from the day job and take an RV all over the country and do meetups. It is my dream!!

[@charityoverman]

Oh I loved this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@_dewinther]

Thanks, great tutorial 💖💖💖

[@SarahMcAshan]

🤓 It's called the orbital bone, Prof. Hokanson! 🤓 -- Signed, a bio-nerd. Great look; that Midas shimmer oil is BAM! I'm very glad you described the depth of the tone, because it would definitely be "bronzery" on me; I'm super-light warm. I might try the product in a lighter shade..... This makeover was fun; I'd be down for more of this content.

[@goow]

LOL that's the word!!!

[@RhondaMcLennan-s2g]

Fab video Shelley , please do more ,love love love it ❤❤❤❤

[@calidreamin2441]

Shelly, I think you’ve quite possibly created yourself another side hustle! Doing makeup on your good -sport buddy, all the while wearing a tee shirt you created yourself--look at you go girl!! You know that’s gotta be how Charlotte Tilbury got her start! I’m sure she didn’t have a cool cutting edge haircut like yours either! I wouldn’t quit your teaching job just yet, but you’ve got some MUA chops! Those brows are “on fleek,” & sheer 🎨artistry! She looks beauteous! She should have called 📱her hubby and told him to come home early from work!🤣🤣🤣🤣 PS: (It’s the occipital bone!)😳

[@goow]

Occipital.... I will try to get my brain to remember that 🤣 for some reason I can only remember the names of bones in hawks and owls!

[@chris.marie26]

@@calidreamin2441 we went into this thinking it would either be really good or really bad. I’m glad it was good enough to post. Either way we had fun.

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

Hi Shelley brows really do make a difference. I’m very lucky that I survived the nineties with my brows somewhat intact 😂. My mum was a cautionary tale when she plucked hers to oblivion in the sixties and they didn’t grow back. I only ever plucked, waxed or latterly threaded them to be my natural shape and tidy up the stray hairs. I also had fairly thick brows when young (although very blonde), so I still have a good amount of them left at 52. I get them threaded and I tint them myself (still blonde but now have white hairs too). Most days a tinted brow gel is all I use tbh. For a more polished look I really like the pens as they draw very hair like strokes that stay put extremely well to play with the shape a little or extend them etc. It does take practice but for those who have lost their brows I think a pen and a tinted gel with fibres is the most natural look aka looks like real brows. That’s how I taught my mum to do hers and it looks great. Brow fashion comes and goes but natural looking brows that suit your face/eye shape are always going to look great. Just brows, mascara (or tinted lashes), something on the cheek and tinted balm/gloss is super simple yet gives everyone both definition and a bit of colour. The look turned out great btw and your friend was brave to go on youtube to let you demo. Best wishes x

[@goow]

I'm so glad I didn't pluck mine in the 90s! I thought I was being a rebel but I guess the rebellion works out sometimes! lol

[@cheriyost2780]

Fun!

[@wiseowl1580]

Missed opportunity to put tight eye on her! Would have liked to see a full look however! Both of you are gorgeous.❤

[@goow]

I was thinking that half way through! lol

[@hbarlaam]

Yes, Sméagol. Sméagol is the original name of Gollum. :) Fun video!

[@goow]

THANK YOU! lol sometimes my brain pulls out weird things and I have no idea where they came from 🤣

[@mistytells]

You should keep doing it weekly. Try different techniques. She could always get that brow stamp, too.

[@chris.marie26]

I tried a brow stamp and it did not work for me. I think the shade was too dark and I got the lightest she had.

[@mistytells]

@@chris.marie26 yeah. I’ve never tried one but I have brows. There’s gotta be a brand that has a long wear sweatproof decent one.

[@cynthiacampbell5011]

Shelly it's my turn lol 🤭

Fun! Eyebrows are sisters, not twins, not even sure mine are related! 💜

What/who is nicky tutorials? how do I find her tutorials...I have hooded eyes so it may be useful...thanks

[@goow]

@nikkietutorials on youtube - she's got over a decade of eyeshadow tutorials and I've learned so much from her!

[@goow]

[@sfkat]

@@goow Thank you....I just splurged after more than one recommendation. Chanel Stylo Ombre et Contour in "Contour Clair". It is like Silk. They have a beautiful new green color. This is worth it. If you've never tried it's magic. I ordered from Chanel for $38. Free shipping and 2 free samples. Just thought I'd pass on this beautiful product. So unlike anything I've ever used.

[@louisemcmillan3576]

Why not have Chris back and do a full face from scratch? 😊

[@goow]

I've got a list of looks I want to do on her! LOL if she'll let me!!

[@chris.marie26]

@@goow I will anytime.

[@coffeeandhorses7991]

Im confused?. Does she not have foundation on?.

[@chris.marie26]

No foundation. Just highlighter, bronzer, and blush.

[@goow]

No foundation :) She doesn't typically wear it so we went for something she can replicate for work.

[@coffeeandhorses7991]

@goow oh okay! I thought I missed it so was rewinding the vlog! It would be an interesting video to do make up looks with minimal make up! Thank you for the reply.

Orbital bone lol 😅
