Recreating My First Makeup Tutorial 6 Years Later!

Recreating my first makeup tutorial 6 years later! Whew-eee! Let's just say that is a long time to learn a lot of new things! It's amazing to see where I started all those years ago compared to where I am today. What mistakes did you make when you first got into makeup? What have you been significant improvements on? Don't forget, we all have to start somewhere, so give yourself a break! :)

You should do your makeup on one side of your face from one of your old tutorials and do the same look on the other side of your face but how you would do it now! To see how different it looks six years later. That would be cool!

[@ironrose01]

I don't know about anyone else but I would love to see a side by side of one eye done the way you used to apply shadow on one eye and the new way you apply it on the other eye.

[@lovemesomeslippers]

I would like to see this. I didn't really notice the differences Sabrina was talking about in this video.

[@ironrose01]

Jaidvt vantu For me I noticed something was different but I couldn’t quite see what it was. I’m a very visual person when it comes to color and makeup. I just need that side by side. You know?

[@tineckamccarty1242]

Yes!!

[@inabind416]

Jaidvt vantu You mean “Zabrena” 😉

[@ArtsyCupcake]

This would be a fun video!!

[@belleclementi4371]

How about a sugar plum fairy look for Christmas?

[@victoriacisneros17]

“Okay okay... hang on girl. WAIT! Wait for me!!” 😂😂😂 haha!!

[@asmrallison]

Victoria Cisneros YES. I almost cried laughing

[@sg6203]

HI Zabrena! A few years ago you use to do a series about what your favorite eyeshadow combos for the month was. I was thinking that since we are close to the end of the year, it would be nice to see what your favorite combos were for 2018. I know with 2 kids it might be hard to do, but I thought I would just put it out there. Love you, Zabrena!

[@allieg6401]

I love this idea too!!

[@thasr81]

Yes, Yes, Yes! Colour Combos! Combos from Palettes! :D

[@jessilaine7999]

I loved that tutorial so much!!! I remember finding it 6 years ago after having my son. My husband bought me the Naked pallet because I had been stuck in that mommy phase of sweat pants, messy buns, and sleep vs. showers. I found your video here when searching for tips on how to use it. And this technique became my go-to look for a gold smoky eye! It’s evolved a bit over the years, but with my blue hooded eyes, the basics of the technique stay the same. I’ve also followed you ever since too! As a 34 year old stay at home mom, you’ve always been so much more relatable than some of the other makeup channels out there! Thanks for helping me feel pretty again!

[@CryssyJ]

I like how you said "did SHE say...?" lol!

[@sassyeva4666]

You're cracking me up with all the commentary. "Mm, yes. Me too, girl." Haha, I love it.

[@ArtsyCupcake]

So funny!!

[@marinaamaral28]

I mentioned on another video, but it would be great if you did the palette Bingo tag, where you try to create a look with randomly chosen eyeshadows from a palette! (Emily Noel did on her channel) 🙂 Maybe a large colorful palette, to make it more exciting 😁

[@cathleenweaver6483]

Loved this. Your voice sounds so young, like a little girl voice, in the 6 year old video. You look younger now ❤💚💜💙💛

[@rebeccacarraway480]

I vote YAAASSS for this look. Subtle but stunning. Then again you’re just PURRRDY 🤪

[@victoriacisneros17]

I love the self commentary... literally 😂😂😂😂

[@ArtsyCupcake]

LOL so funny!!!

[@rockcity6914]

This was the first video I ever watched of yours and I've been hooked ever since! I cannot tell you the amount of times I wore this look it was my absolute go to for years and I think it still holds up today. Thanks for continuing to make such great content Z! 💕

[@donnasteinleitner7119]

I love your talking to your previous self (in the earlier video) as a real and separate person. You always make me smile and I have a "take-away" with every video. Your words of encouragement and inspiration do not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Thank you for being you. Blessings.

[@kellymarie7660]

I really liked this look. Nice to see something other than the red/orange look everyone is doing ❤️❤️

[@ArtsyCupcake]

Yes I loved this look too - everyone does seem to be going for the reds and oranges lately and well, I just can't pull that look off!!

[@Cozy_queen19]

Yes!

[@bundlewade]

I also thought it was a pretty look, and I'll look forward to recreating it. It's also pleasant to see a look with an classic eye shadow palette.

[@ValeriaGalindo]

Hello Zabrena, I would love to see a step by step purple eyeshadow tutorial, I know you are the best combining so well purple eyeshadows and would love to know some tricks and tips to get the perfect look

[@inabind416]

Your expression while ur looking at yourself 😂😂😂! It’s like a “mean girl look” 😂😂😂

[@rebeccasew]

Wow, the lighting! You looked so yellow in the older video. Your lighting now highlights your beautiful ivory skin.

[@brattysarita5084]

Oh yeah you've definitely come a long way, But then so have I since I've been with you!! 😁 And You're still so Beautifully Stunning!! I've been with you since before your kids, before your lash line "Inky Minky", before the "Eyeshadow consultant" And before you did the Video of you Dancing around your house, Excitedly getting ready for your Birthday!! (for some reason that image of you dancing around always comes to mind!) Anyways, I Loved recreating your eye looks, Even back then! lol!! I'm just so Happy that we both have learned alot along the way & have just gotten even Better!! ☺ I'd Love to see you do a video on Your Old Favorites, do you still use them, are they still favorites, have you changed your mind about them, or replaced them with something even better? please, that would be Awesome!! Sending you lots of Love Zabrena!! 😘💋💕💕💕💕

[@veramariecano289]

You know, I never have thought about "transition or blending" shadow! What a difference it makes!

[@dreamscape405]

Loved this! You certainly look younger today than back then. As far as a new video topic suggestion, what about an all metallic look...or doing a grab bag where you write some old and new make-up looks on paper, then mix them up in a bag or jar, and drawing one out of that as a random pick ...or a two toned look using 2 colors for shadow and also for the lip color...or use favorite colors from your family; son's favorite color, husband's and yours and create a look based on that...I've been out of the make-up loop for *many years* and have learned so much from your channel! I don't feel like such an amateur anymore, and my make-up certainly looks more professional now..LOL! Thank you!💄🎨😉

[@samharris2742]

I feel like maybe your lights are a little bright. Feels like the video is a little washed out. But I enjoyed this video so much so great!!

[@nydi444]

LOL when your past self is naming all the eyeshadows and your present self is like “i don’t have those!!” see how much we change!! loved the video 💖

[@StephiesCorner]

I love how the eye look makes your eyes so blue! Girl! So gorgeous. Love your tutorials.💋

[@irmaledee397]

Would LOVE to see a Zabrena palette your colors

[@isabellamcavoy1750]

I remember I found you about 5 years ago I think when I was first getting into makeup because of your historically accurate videos and I’ve been watching ever since. I actually remember watching THIS video. You’ve always been an awesome teacher when it came to makeup and even though I found other beauty bloggers I enjoy watching I feel like your particular style has still impacted the way I do my makeup even now.

[@marcyhart5509]

This was the first look I tried with my naked palette because I trust you and what you do. I went back and added the blending shade too because we are all more educated on how to use makeup now then before. Thank you for doing this tutorial and going back to revisit it.

[@tracyfrederick5606]

6 years... Look how wonderful things are. You've got a son and a daughter! You still have the warm , welcoming vibe ❤

[@DottyGale8]

So you’ve always had that beautiful, enviable hair. I love it!

[@aboveyoungbeauty7117]

This was my first tutorial I ever watched of you years ago and I can still remember being so in love with the way the gold looked on your eyes that I was so upset I didn't have that palette! Lol.. I love this tutorial even you'r sassy-ness with the head roll when talking about the "dupe " shades 💕💕💕

[@aprildawn8692]

This was fun! Please do more like it! Isn't it funny how our makeup looks change over the years. Six years ago I had no clue that I could use concealer to highlight the center of my face. And, bronzer! Who knew that bronzer, when used correctly, can add great results. Oh boy, have I come a long way...A. Long. Way. Btw, I love Honeylove. I wear it almost every day 😊

[@Soapartisan875]

April Byerley I never wore face or eye primer or used a transition shade .. I learned all that only a few years ago.. I also never ever wore bronzer or contour . I would use the maybelline set of 3 blushes to contour my cheeks .. wow we have come a long way 😍

[@aprildawn8692]

@@Soapartisan875 oh, I forgot about primer! It's amazing that I survived my teenage years and got through high school. KZbin would have been a lifesaver, for sure!

[@jarryrosario55]

You are always gorgeous, love your channel and vibes 💖💖

[@hannahmoran3660]

OMG has it been six years????? I can't believe it. You've always been one of my favorite makeup channels on KZbin, and you just keep on getting better as time goes on. Keep up the great work, gorgeous! ❤️❤️

[@kimberlywilliams3008]

Zabrena, this was fun to watch! I've watched you for at least 5 years and have enjoyed your content so much! Your genuineness and positivity radiate from the screen and brighten my day!

[@shannonchristina6431]

This was cute! I didn’t even know that concealer was for the under eyes until about 5 years ago haha I thought it was only for covering acne and dark spots on the face. Once I got older, developed dark under eye circles and started watching KZbin I figured it out lol

[@k.hebert]

Ooooh! Such a FUN video idea! 😁 It's so interesting to see where you started and how far you've come! You are always such a joy to watch!

[@dheredia2789]

I binge watched some of your older videos. I think they were pretty awesome. Thank you!

[@lyshana3432]

You haven't change in years😌 Gorgeous as usual

[@liesllukacs7453]

She has... she's even prettier now!

[@moocasey13]

I love this so much! I've been here since you started. And I still love your videos. It makes my day to watch them

[@jazograyski8708]

Thank you so much for explaining the highlight on the eyeshadow primer every morning I would have a beautiful blend than I would put my brow highlight on and it was gone. I saw that most the KZbinr beauty gurus say it’s to set the primer. Never tell I watched the video did I ever hear it explained correctly. Many thanks Jan

[@vickiem.6096]

This video was so much fun to watch! I guess all the color differences are do to the lighting. I love learning how and why you do your makeup. Hugs! 💕

[@ServingSparkle]

I started watching your videos a few years ago to find dupes for the naked pallet and that actually started my make-up collection!! ❤so cool to see how much your techniques have changed! I've been right there with ya girl! I did learn something new from your last video though,the blending shade first. I would do it last and the exact same thing that happened here would happen to me,all crease color disappeared! Thanks for all you've taught me over the years,and now! Hugs and love! ❤

[@carminashapiro5382]

Hi Zabrena! It would have been interesting to see one eye done the old way and the other eye done the current way... That comparison surely is revealing! 💕

[@prittypeaches]

I didn't watch you back then, but that was definitely the make up of the era. I wore a very similar gold based eye for several months in 2011 (not with naked though, I could never afford it)

[@ashleyhoffmeister1506]

Thank you for not being too harsh on yourself. Its frustrating watching videos like this sometimes and they just rip apart there old self. I wish they new that more than half the stuff they saw as bad or wrong we didn’t even notice at all. So thank you 🙏🏻

[@SaraDhooge]

Oh my :) this brings back memories. I watched this tutorial over and over again and recreated this look a lot! I even got some compliments on it while I was shopping at Mac. Love this!

[@TheEbruunal]

Oh I loved this tutorial and went back to it several times 💕

[@BlingyBea]

Wow I think that look is so pretty on you.😘

[@a3herron]

BlingBea Dowdy I thought so too. I’m very dark and this reminds of a pretty Nigerian bridal look

[@startastictime3529]

Excited to see how it goes!

[@jennyfromtexas8609]

Love ur videos. Discovered ur youtube channel a week ago, and very glad I did. I also love ur drugstore makeup reviews!

[@caitlynmcbrayer1373]

Love you Z!! 😍😍😍 I was hoping you'd do this video!

[@candybashore9202]

I love your reactions to yourself! Priceless! 😊💕

[@jessace5498]

I also apply my blending shade afterwards & it makes so much more sense to apply it before. Thanks for the tip ❤️

[@stephaniecastro2028]

I have watched your first makeup tutorial video not exactly 6 years ago, it was when I was getting curious who you were before I would subscribe to your channel, I still love how you look in this beautiful makeup, you are always beautiful Zabrena❤

[@alissarjohnson286]

Girl, your reactions to yourself makes me smile. I was looking at pictures of myself when I was starting freelancing and now! The personal growth and being able to laugh! Lots of love. Could you do a copper and burgundy eye look? I’ve been trying to think of one.

[@michelleeaton7955]

You have learned a lot since then, as we all have. You seemed a little hard on yourself and there is no need for that. I would love to see you revisit that pallet showing what you would do with it now. I have it, and I love it, but sometimes I do struggle with it a bit. Loved the video 😊😊😊.

[@AmyLovesMakeup]

Remember watching this video! Can’t believe it’s been six years 😱 OG Macshadowcombos subscriber here 😂😂😂

[@HexOfTheNorth]

Great and funny video Zabrena! I started following you during summer 2015, loved every video since❤️❤️

[@missblake8866]

Got here before 100 views without a notification! Wooo! Love you Zabrena!!!

[@jennpoczik]

I'm so glad you did this! I recently came across a picture of me from several years ago where I was wearing makeup but then I didn't wear blush, bronzer or highlight and my foundation was way too light, lol. I looked Ill! I was amazed to see how far I've come thanks to people like Zabrena making videos of their tips and tricks so I could figure out what works for me!

[@janeecesmith9525]

You were amazing then just as you are today...Btw, I love your last tutorial on eyeshadow application....I hope you make more of them...xoxo

[@betty4gators]

I am surprised you state you would not create this look again because it looks beautiful - I love it! You have not aged a bit! Not fair! The only difference I can think of is your face seems a bit thinner in the old video. 6 yrs later yet still gorgeous!

[@alyssabrown-carleton6173]

Can you do an eyeshadow bingo or get a bunch of single shadows and blindly pick your look? Also you look amazing in any look you do, whether you think you do or not.

[@choirkitty]

Would love to see a video about false eyelashes - application, glue types, care, how long they last, best styles for eye shapes, etc. I just started playing with falsies and I could really use some tips! :)

[@elizabethgreer27]

So cool to see how much you've grown! 😉 loved this Z 😍

[@joycesmith1913]

I live all your videos but I believe this one has become my favorite I live watching when you tubers began. You make any makeup look great you are just a beautiful person. God Bless

[@mommyfindingfit]

I love this look on you. You make every eye shadow look, look beautiful 😊 I don't think I've ever seen your makeup not look good.

[@powderblushes2127]

I would love to see a video where you show us your favorite things from every category (foundation, mascara etc.) and one where you show us your favorite product from a set of brands :)

[@AMarie-wp4wk]

This is so cute! I never watched your first video because I think it was taken down, but I found you through your updo video and have been watching you for 4 years!! Lots of love

[@Figgatella]

I’ve been watching you for almost five years! Wow time flies!🤗🤗🤗

[@dancinglover54321]

That was the first makeup tutorial I ever watched that got me into doing makeup and loving eyeshadow💖

[@MishkaMeshel]

6 years?!?!?!? Wow! Love this

[@evajawidzik2562]

Decided to watch makeup videos . YOU ARE SO WONDERFUL I NEVER BLENDED SHADOWS SO THIS IS A GREAT Learning process. IM sorry about the caps didn't mean to do that . HUGS

[@trishabee2229]

The look is beautiful! Love the throw back

[@amamdacarroll1944]

Good vid idea z...it is neat to watch how much has changed

[@socialnoob4853]

Idk if its just me just the video is too bright. I feel like I'm not seeing the true colors of the eyeshadows

[@hopebullard460]

I love this!! So Much! 😂 You've made my Wednesday so much better! Your Hair has sooo Much volume!

[@irmaledee397]

I just loove watching you... I’ve learned soo much from watching your videos.. I always share them on my makeup group on Facebook

[@Antjers]

Your hair in the old video was exactly the kind of volume I wish I could achieve!

[@janefriel6895]

I find your channel amazing.You are down to earth,very likable and extremely clever and talented.Thats why you are successful.Watch and learn most other makeup channels.💗

[@SparklingDivineD42]

Loved this.... More of these please

[@maxgirl56]

I started watching your videos when you were using Mac shadows and I only own one Mac eyeshadow! I have learned a lot from you Zabrena, thanks for that! Fun video!--Holly

[@diablita130]

Omg! Me too It’s so funny to see my self back 😂😂 thank you ! Great video ❤️💕

[@lynzholmes2550]

It’s true you do get better with time I’ve been a subscriber for a long time and leaned loads from you! Think I’ve even recreated this look

[@jennifery7295]

Great post! Lots of fun and lots to learn!

[@Sumthing4theWkend]

Omg this was my fave look of yours back in the day!! (And I remember some of those vids u deleted! U made one per my request which was a look with the Naked palette with red lips!) I think u were just a great back then as u r now! Production value is better now, but you’ve always been a very good teacher !

[@ericadubach1974]

Maybe the trial lashes can be made into demis to switch it up from the I Do style? They look hella pretty! Also wooowww everything is so changed from then!! Your hair stick looks freaking amazing but you look younger now than you did then - weird!

[@Soapartisan875]

Aww I remember watching you when you were my eyeshadow consultant.. I never used a transition shade either and my eyeshadow was just fine 😍you are still gorgeous

[@caitmcg4382]

I'd love a follow-up video where you do a similar look but with the techniques you use now! Or another video following one of your older tutorials, but follow the tutorial exactly on one eye, then do the same look on the other eye with the techniques you prefer now. Would be interesting to see the difference those techniques make!

[@veramariecano289]

Lady, your beauty shines through!

[@BoFelulaVang]

I love the look that you recreated. 😍

[@kleague41]

I'm not sure what was different, but everything was so much more vibrant and saturated back then compared to now! Do you know why? I think you look beautiful!

[@nouhaben5472]

Lighting

[@morganb5085]

I’ve been waiting for someone to start a series called Mascara Monday’s! I want to see more mascara put to the test. High end and drugstore.

[@victoriacisneros17]

I apologize for my choppy comments but Zabrena has taught me to never apply my blending shade AFTER, but before the look. Never again will I make this mistake

[@wiredayan9719]

really enjoyed this vid!! we need to revisit some old faves a bit more

[@diannafuller2000]

I love watching these. The only thing I would change is do one eye per the tutorial and one eye like you would do it now. :) Then we could see a side by side comparison.

[@marianeculek3261]

What a cool idea!!

[@AreebaBilal]

Still learned something new from this. Gorgeous Zabrena 😙

[@lexipap]

All have been and always will be drop dead gorgeous, Girl! Xx

[@ziggy13mity1]

I just wanted to say that I never used a blending shade all over before, and I quite wearing eyeshadows from my eyes getting so irritated with all the blending brush action. But since finding your channel I have been collecting all the dupes, recommended drugstore makeup and making list for the pricier things. I’m getting excited to get back into eyeshadows again especially from seeing this vid and the blending shade application effect. Thanks for sharing! Would love to see skin care routines, more dupes, favorites....well just anything. Have a beautiful day! - Misty
