Get Ready With Me: Aurora James preps for the CFDA Awards - YouTube

Piece of cheese, is there cheese?

I love cheese.

I'm getting ready for the CFDA Awards and I'm a little bit terrified.

It's one of those moments it like when you grow up you kind of dream about you know?

And then it comes and you're like oh my god, right?

I don't know, I think with these experiences like when you're not made for an award like

this the best thing you can do, for me anyways, is just have everyone that I love be a part

of the process and I think that makes it so much more special.

And some of my friends are also nominated so I think it's gonna be a lot of fun!

This G also reminds me of G unit.

You know what?

Diddy won a CFDA Award, Puff Daddy won a CFDA Award.

So we started with clarifying toner which is kind of amazing and what's great about

it is the smell.

Then we used this oil, Odacite Peach Cypress.

Same, smells amazing.

Miracles are happening on my skin.

We also used these two awesome Glossier concealers which she mixed together cause I have like

one of those weird skintones and I think it's kind of, I think people are looking always

for their exact match and I think really you're probably gonna up having to mix two products

together to have it be perfect and I think when you're talking about concealer and foundation,

it needs to be perfect.

Same with the RMS beauty powders, we mixed them together.

That also helped keep the shine to a minimal.

What's amazing about these is there's no shimmer and that's why we love the RMS, she hates

shimmer!

Highlighting: essential.

We used the Haloscope which is a new highlighter from Glossier actually and this color's called

Topaz which works really well for my skintone.

And if you hit it just here and here it's going to kind of let the light reflect naturally

which is actually amazing for pictures and we all know like pictures!

So that's really good and I like to keep to these sort of things still on a really natural

vein and the Haloscope is perfect for that.

Another critical moment is the Boy Brow.

I think everyone knows that I don't touch my eyebrows at all ever and one amazing thing

to do with this is to actually pull it out of the tube and then rub it on your hand so

it's less concentrated on the brush and then just go at it to kind of get the little hairs

that are there that maybe aren't as pronounced and actually give them depth.

So you're not like coating the whole thing to have a total total power moment when you

already have a lot of brows, keep it cas.

And then we did this amazing Make Up For Ever, it's Star Powder, it's a pigment.

And I think really it's just about accenting the natural darkness that's already happening

on your eyelid and just kind of like accentuating that a little bit.

And then we have this NARS morocco, for obvious reasons!

I also kind of love this little gem, it's from & Other Stories and she put me on this

and it's called white linen color but it has this slight pinkish tint to it, it's not just

white and you use it in here on the water line so it gets rid of the redness that's

there and just pops your eye which makes you look less tired and in my case, since I had

3 hours of sleep last night, we spent a good 10 minutes applying this just to make sure

that I looked a little bit less crazy.

That's pretty much my day.

Now I have to just make it through these awards without like crying and, you know, ruining

my makeup but I think I got this one.

Let's hope!

Thanks so much for getting ready with me you guys!

Wish me luck!
