Midnight in Paris {Detailed HD Beauty Tutorial}

[@MCRFreak666]

Can I just say that how comfortable and confident you are with yourself helps me to be confident with myself, too. I appreciate you very much, not only for your amazing makeup tutorials, but also for your general attitude towards life.

[@Gothaura]

You can be sophisticated with any hair colour. Sophistication comes from within. Beautiful video...xxx

[@secretartist16]

I've never had any problems with Seche Vite, myself. It helped my nails always stay longer. Also, YOU ARE A LIFESAVER. I just got the Paris palette and I have been desperately trying to figure out how to do something that adequately shows the awesomeness of Triomphe without going overboard on color.

[@rubyslippersparkle22]

Hi Cora! I just wanted to say that you remind me so much of myself! You're awesome! I love seeing other plus size women who still take pride in their appearance and aren't afraid to be themselves! Confidence is what true beauty is all about! And of course, just being an awesome person in general. So, yeah. Thanks for being such a great role model for other plus size girls who may feel pressure to be ultra skinny or feel the need to change.

[@sequinbows]

This is one of the best videos of yours I have watched, it's so educational and I didn't know half the stuff you told us! Thank you. The look is absolutely gorgeous, you pull it off so well!

[@coralringsephia]

You're one if my favorite beauty vloggers b/c you provide great general tips & advice as you go. Excellent work!

[@MsVintagevixen]

this as to be one of my favorite tutorials of yours, ever! i find myself watching it all the time/recreating it!

[@vintageortacky]

Thank you. I color it myself, I have it cut in a salon, and give myself trims in between cuts.

[@vintageortacky]

absolutely, I spot clean after every use.

[@melissa78eb]

I just realized how long I have been watching your videos, I had a baby daughter barely talking when I started watching and she is now 6 yrs old and in 1st grade and she just sat down and watched your video with me and said 'wow she is good"! How cool huh?

[@ashmegjo]

I love how you say, "I hope you're having a fantastic day" it makes me feel like there is a personal connection type thing going on :) love you and your vids!!

[@RiotDemon]

I used Seche vite religiously for 8 months... I had to do my nails every day to every 3 days.. I now use a cheap topcoat from supply source and no longer have that problem. Cost 12-13 bux for 16oz! It's been over a year, and I still love it...

[@tracie538]

lovely and love the lip color with it. I think I have seen so many video s trying to achieve this look but you pulled it off and the lip color sets it off.

[@LinziSimons]

So after watching your hair dye video I went and bought the purple hair dye and put a huge chunk in the top of my hair. I put it in the middle so when I part it on the side it kind of peaks out. I LOVE IT!!!! Thank you!

[@Actuallie26]

This look is so gorgeous! My boyfriend would love it! He is always trying to get me to wear eyeshadow with different colors in it. He has been asking for awhile now for a hot pink look, but this is way more me lol!!!! Thanks for creating such beautiful looks!!!!!!

[@vintageortacky]

That totally makes sense, and thank you! My aim is to actually teach, so I'm glad that it comes through!

[@AMarie333]

That's my FAVORITE mascara!! It doesn't budge for anything... so amazing.

[@lauren-yh4kt]

that lip colour is amazing it looks so good on your skin tone.

[@aacebedo4]

this is my favorite video youve ever made. I just got the paris palette and Im so excited to try this look. Youre videos are ones that i watch as soon as you upload. So amazing!

[@hellokittystare]

Beautiful Cora! I love how u are spot on with picking colors that look so good together!

[@vintageortacky]

Actually the red in this look would make them pop! Purples, blues you have a great eye color!

[@ashleighalassandra1919]

I love how you do your eye makeup ! when ever i try to do it it never turns out anything like this! you are amazing !

[@vintageortacky]

Yes the video will be coming up this month ^_^

[@katilia16]

I think if you put too thick of a coat of Seche Vite it causes it to peel up at the edges. I've had that happen to me before, but usually if I do one coat as thin as I can get it I'm ok. I can't use that topcoat to make my manicure last longer though (the whole, put another layer of topcoat on every few days to make it last longer). Sidenote, you give some of the most detailed instructions for makeup application itself ever. It's wonderful!

[@GreaterisHEthatisinme]

What a great idea to use your cheek color in the crease to blend out. I will have to try that!

[@comfalot]

I used to LOVE Seche Veite, but I always had problems with my nail polish! I had huge shrinkage issues, bubbling all the time, and my nail polish would sometimes just come right off a nail like you mentioned! I do nail art more often than not and I spend a lot of time on it so I want it to last and look good! I recently switched to Out the Door upon hearing that it doesn't shrink and have not had any issues with it thus far! Its fast drying and high gloss too!!!

[@arey502]

The same thing happens when I use Seche Vite as a top coat too! It seems to last longer when I use a couple of thin coats versus several thick, glittery coats. I also found that when I was using a Sally Henson base coat the nail polish would flake off in one whole big nail chip even more quickly! Also, you're awesome.

[@coleyb212]

I think you're so awesome Cora! Seriously every makeup look you do is so unique, and beautiful. Plus you describe everything so great, and it makes it super easy to recreate! You're amazing, and beautiful, and awesome in every way. :)

[@RedDragon45]

i think this is the best u have ever looked! Everything is perfect and beautiful. you're gorgeous!

[@pyrokitsune1]

Hey, Cora! Yes, I also have that seche vite problem. After I switched to a different top coat, I didn't get that problem anymore. However, I love the look that seche vite gives, so I do this terrible thing to my nails -- with an emery board, I rough up the surface of nails a tiny bit and that seems to help the nail polish hold better.

[@vintageortacky]

Thank you! Yeah Too Faced did an amazing god with the lipsticks and liners.

[@cynthiarodriguez1594]

I'm a nail tech, and its probably chipped off due to oils that weren't completely removed before polishing. Also, it helps to buff the nail with a buffer, and use a cuticle stone to remove any cuticle grown onto the nail. :-) :-) it happens to everyone! Love your channel!!

[@vintageortacky]

There are two listed on my blog, link in the description box ^_^

[@vintageortacky]

Everything is listed on the blog, link in the description box

[@jessicab9568]

I just had to share, I've been watching your videos forever now, and it's gotten to the point that even my husband starts peeking over my shoulder when I get overexcited about an idea of yours. I have a major girl-crush on you :)

[@Brandibeeee]

This is SO gorgeous, best tutorial I have seen with this palette!

[@vintageortacky]

well this color is very similar to my skin tone, so if it fades it's hardly noticeable. Also this is a waterproof liner, so it's longer lasting that ordinary eyeliner.

[@gaelicsunset]

This is a beautiful look. I loved your tutorial. You are very talented.I would love to see more like this.Thank you

[@msattitude318]

Absolutely my favorite look yet.

[@Beautywith0utBunnies]

I love the duo-chrome shadow you used!

[@lilblondehooker]

Beautiful look!! I've had that happen to me using Seche Vite. The first bottle I bought, I loved it. The second bottle gave me nothing but problems. I want to try the Poshe topcoat.

[@vintageortacky]

It's one of my favorite tips!

[@labellafamiglia11]

This look is stunning. I am going to try this one out ASAP!!!!!!!!!!! Would love to see similar looks too Cora!!!!

[@vintageortacky]

yup

[@missashley327]

I think this is one of my most favorite looks by you! Love your videos so much.

[@babypumbaa11]

i think this might be my favorite eye tutorial...gorgeous!!!

[@AngyR01]

I love how you do your make up I also have pale skin and have a hard time with choosing colors that look good on my skin you are a great help thanks:)

[@MartinaMoylanXx]

This looks amazing on you!! You make it look so effortless and easy to follow!! Thank you!! X

[@vintageortacky]

PT 2.....it's true that I don't so much on my facebook page and to be honest I'm bad at keeping up with Facebook for my "IRL" friends as well. TBH until today I didn't even know how to view my wall on facebook with the new set up because a "page" is different from a profile in terms of notifications etc... so even though I think your comments are completely unfair, I do thank you for bringing it to my attention because now I know how to see those posts....cont...

[@1987Indeed]

I love that palette! I love your hair, I love your videos and I love your personality, you have to be one of the most down to earth people I could ever hope to meet :)

[@leahedwards2303]

I went to Paris this summer and i really enjoyed it and now this wants to make me go back!

[@greentree211]

So as I am watching your videos tonight I am also watching game 5 of the NLCS and watching the Giants dominate the game that they have to!!.... but I am so happy to watch you too because you make me still feel a little girly watching make up as I watch sports!.... LOVE YOU!!

[@heatherluvscorey]

I would love some more looks from the Paris palette. I know YT gurus are constantly trying out new products but I was a little disapointed in the lack of tutorials by some of the contributors to the palette. Granted they are some of my favs... I just wish they would have done more than one tutorial each.

[@vintageortacky]

It's a luxury lipstick for sure! I love that it's a bit more affordable than most luxury lipsticks though.

[@vintageortacky]

23L, it's listed on the blog

[@Aimsstar]

Youre so talented, the colors are so lovely in this thank you for sharing

[@vintageortacky]

I'm going to have reviews of them on my blog very soon

[@vintageortacky]

I love it too! I might make it my perm intro music! And thank you

[@raevynsilverana]

YES! I also use Seche Vite and without fail, after 4 days or so my index nails pop right off! Very frustrating because the rest of my nails still look great so I don't want to remove them. Also, gorgeous eye-look, as usual!

[@NurseGabby]

I love your videos be for when i didn't were any make up people didn't even know my name and would never even notice me but now everyone is asking me were i learned to do my makeup and the same answer every time you my self of steam has gone up dramatically thank you so much.

[@StephanieChristine1105]

Hey, Cora! I used to have the same problem with my nail polish too, and it drove me nuts. I even tried roughing up my nails a little hoping the polish would stick better, but it didn't help much.. I finally found a basecoat that sticks!! Its by Orly called Bonder Rubberized Laquer Gripping Basecoat, and OMG does it work! My nails will still chip but its little tiny chips and if I try to chip it off it doesn't come off in big chunks like it normally would. I love it, you should give it a try!

[@mariah_malik383]

That happens with my nailpolish same nail too. I love this look and that lipstick looks really good on you!!!

[@cameronh171]

I've stopped using a thick topcoat on my nails-- I used to use SV (which is pronounced sesh-veet) or China Glaze-- because it always always chips off in like a bendy plastic...thing. Now I use a fast drying topcoat by Sinful Colors and it's SUPER thin so it helps avoid the thick layers of nail polish that come off all at once like you said happened to your index finger. This look is beautiful btw!

[@NotJustBriana]

I wear weird bright colors all the time, and I'm one of the only people at my school who does so. I got the guts to do it from you, because your bright makeup is always so beautiful, and I get so sick of seeing shades of brown everywhere. Thank you for that.

[@bluesfanlenny]

I agree with many others - one of my favorite looks. thanks for the tutorial

[@TheSweetestThingCS]

this look makes your eyes look HUGE! love it!

[@G0ETTIN]

I am so in love with your gorgeous eye makeups!!!! I wish I could pull that off so effortless as you do :D

[@MIJA97]

when i used to use the Seche Vite top coat the entire nail would peel like a sticker....I hated it! so I now use OPI top coat fast dry..loves it!

[@vintageortacky]

I currently use a Canon Rebel t2i. Somedays it's great (like the day I filmed this) and other days it won't focus properly!

[@janellemcm22]

Those eyelashes are to die for!! Omg sparkly and bold :D u have the best eyes for make up! :)

[@staceybrennan]

you + 1080 + my new apple tv can watch on tv = perfection

[@stillettopumps86]

those lashes look awesome with this look! wow

[@makeupnewbiemomof3]

What a great tutorial! I love this look and can't wait to try it!

[@thebirdztheword1]

Holy BA-BAMMMMM!!! Look at those eyes! Love this. You are stunning, lady!

[@sjparker425]

I haven't ever seen this palette. If you still have it, would love to see you use it again

[@Pugslover]

YAY they're BACK!

[@vintageortacky]

I do use mostly cruelty free products, however some companies fall into a grey area, for instance they don't test but their parent company does, or they sell in a country where it is required by law.

[@vintageortacky]

It would be very similar, though I'm not sure Twinks is the right texture. My favorite concealer is a toss up between MAC Pro Longwear and OCC's new Concealer.

[@MysticDiamond]

Oooh! This is glam and gorgeous! I could definitely see a celeb wearing this on the red carpet. Could you do another oxblood/burgandy makeup tutorial?

[@nik2011s]

Omg! If I had this pallet I'd be obsessed with this look! its amazing!!!! Your so beautiful!! :)

[@kissmee458]

Just gorgeous!!! I WILL be doing this tomorrow, I think I'll substitute one of my MAC crushed metallics on the lid as I don't have the Paris palette plus I just love my crushed metallics anyway. LOVE THIS AND YOU....x12!!! xoxo

[@feskie11]

omg. the pictures in the beginning have an amazinngg quality!!!

[@MsEri2009]

AAH love! I think i just fell in love with this look!!!

[@mlynde82]

This is a GORGEOUS look! I don't have this palette, but I think I'm going to try to recreate this today with the UD Smoked palette :) Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@jewel7677]

I love the "be yourself". You're fantastic!

[@Caimille]

This look is so wonderful! I will definitely try to recreate that!

[@TheMemo1210]

You can easily make your own mixing medium by using glycerin (glycerol) and water. Just 1 part glycerin to 3 parts of water. And Cora, I love that makeup, gorgeous work.

[@assiracrose]

CND's Super Shiny top coat is the BEST one hands down and I've tried many...it takes a few more minutes to dry but it makes my nail polish last 7-10 days every time. I find that with top coats that make my nails dry really fast like Seche Vite also peel off my nail polish in a matter of 3 days. I will never go back.

[@08msriley]

Just stunning .......love this look

[@GirlieReview]

This is an absolutely stunning look.

[@vintageortacky]

it's listed on my blog, link in the d-box

[@Nadine16716]

amazinggggg videoooo, loved how the lips matched the eye shadow perfectly

[@italianprincess4278]

Omg this look is amazing! I have had this palette since it first came out and I was just overwhelmed with it so I have not really used it. This look is gorgeous and I am going to totally use it this weekend when I am out and about. Cora, would you do another look utilizing other colors from this palette soon so idea challenged people like myself know where to go with it? Love love love you!

[@_beatrizizabel_]

I love this look..........you totally rocked it! Thanks for sharing!

[@vintageortacky]

rock on, Gosh I'm dying to try Deborah Lippmann!

[@IWantYouToWantMe1000]

So gorgeous. I love your makeup tutorials so much♥

[@skylilly1]

Great look!! That lipstick is gorgeous!

[@vintageortacky]

Yeah a few people say it could be oil so I'm going to watch out for that

[@cupcakefiend5]

From what I remember back when I used Seche Vit, that it did a glossy finish, but it didn't necessarily improve the longevity of my nail color. And the fact that when I would get half way through the bottle it would become this gloopy, icky stuff that made it unusable. But I did find one top coat that sort of acts like Seche Vit in the shine, but needs a bit more time to dry is Winning Nails Tough Coat Bonder & Sealer from Sally's, it's about $4 less than SV, and is better in my opinion.

[@Christin4scosmetics]

You are SO beautiful. Everything you do is so inspirational. Thank you, so so much!
