MY FAVORITE MAKEUP, BUT MAKE IT BLACK-OWNED!

Danessa Myricks, Uoma, Pat McGrath... here's a full-face of my favorite makeup! It's a meagre selection, but products that truly inspire me. I'm always on the look out for more BIPOC, indie, and women-owned makeup brands to try and love. Thanks for watching!

I acknowledge in Milwaukee that I live and work on traditional Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk and Menominee homeland along the southwest shores of Michigami, North America’s largest system of freshwater lakes, where the Milwaukee, Menominee and Kinnickinnic rivers meet and the people of Wisconsin’s sovereign Anishinaabe, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Oneida and Mohican nations remain present. usdac.us/nativ...
∞ BLACK LIVES MATTER
blacklivesmatt...
I am taking small but crucial steps on an antiracist journey to reflect on my personal biases, (re)educate myself, and listen to the BIPoC community. This begins with acknowledging my white-adjacent privilege and by stating that I am an ally. I hear you, I see you, I am with you.
∞ DISCLOSURES
I am not a makeup artist and all comments and opinions are wholly my own. This is simply a relaxing space where I share lifestyle, beauty, and art.

Howdy, SlowGazers! 2% of ad revenue from all my videos is donated to the ACLU. I have a goal of increasing my donations to cover more local social justice + environmental issues (i.e. carbon offset). Thanks so much for watching!

You're looking super cute today! I really want to dive into that Danessa Myricks blush bottle 🏊‍♀️ it's so lovely

[@SlowGaze]

Hi Amy, love that little image of you diving in... haha! Just my thing. And thank you, so kind xoxo Diana

[@theopiated]

Love the idea of using a locally-created, nondescript mirror instead of a branded one! Probably easier to find something that isn’t gaudy and matches with your vanity aesthetic, too.

[@monathepersona]

You looking so pretty here 😍

[@SincerelyDieuwke]

Plus what brush did you use for your bronzer/contour it looks like a cloud✨😍

[@SlowGaze]

It's the Merit No.1 Blender brush! Currently sold out at Sephora, but you can get 10% off with my code in the description box if you wanted to shop on Meritbeauty.com. Cheers! xoxo Diana

[@SincerelyDieuwke]

@@SlowGaze ty so much❤️

[@Jay-wv1xu]

I love your watch! 😍😍 can you please tell me the brand? Thank you 😊

[@SlowGaze]

Good eye! I'll tell anyone who asks, because this is such a slim and well-crafted watch. I've worn Citizen watches for years, and their Eco-Drive line powers the battery via solar - so I've never had to replace the battery! This is the exact style: www.citizenwatch.com/us/en/product/EG6012-59E.html?cgid=ladies-ecodrive Enjoy my dear! Thanks for watching xoxo Diana
