Two months ago, I published a post on things I wanted to accomplish during this time of lockdown. I haven’t made that much of a dent. What is it about me that has grandiose ideas but never executes them? Do I need to lower my expectations? Redefine the word? Bueller?
No, the solution is to actually execute. Which brings us to today!
Our Woman Crush Wednesday for the week is an influencer named Eleanor Barnes, but her online alias is Snitchery. I don’t remember the first time I saw her was, but she is a makeup wizard, somehow changing her face each time I see her! She is all about the aesthetic, doing full blown cosplays in her bedroom once a week (for the ‘gram, of course) and posting makeup tutorials on Youtube semi-regularly. On top of all that, she has a sick body that grabbed the attention of Queen Rihanna herself and is now a rep for Fenty, Rihanna’s fashion line. Snitchery actually fully grabbed my attention when she posted a photo in a gorgeous corset from Fenty, even though I had seen her floating around my social media-sphere for a hot minute prior to that post.
Anyway, I fell down a rabbit hole of her videos and fell in awe of her talent. She provides thorough descriptions of how she achieves certain looks, and I figured the best way to optimize this rabbit hole would be to actually try the looks myself.
This post is a step one, the pre-op consult if you will. Similar to my Glam-Girl Manifesto from last September, I’ve compiled a list of videos and the procedures detailed in them to guide me along the way.
I’m going to move forward with this post the way I would have with a Science Fair project board. I miss those. No, I wasn’t a nerd in school.
Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to determine if I can establish a more polished and impressive makeup look. A routine that can be applied before work and trips to Disney is ideal, so that I still appear human but like a goddess trying to LOOK like a human.
Prediction: I will impress and horrify myself at how different I can look with different makeup looks. I will also figure out what lip style looks best for my face, as well as an eye look that does not wash me out or make my face look patchy or ashy.
Hypothesis: If you spend enough time on your face, then you will eventually find what looks best on you.
Background/Research: The majority of the looks I will be attempting on this adventure are from the aforementioned Snitchery’s Youtube tutorials. That said, I have thrown in another look to consider, courtesy of Tana Mongeau, who I would consider to be the ultimate foil to Snitchery.
Here are the videos being referenced in the execution of this experiment:

Snitchery – How YOU can look like Bella Hadid WITHOUT surgery
Snitchery – Why YOU should change your ENTIRE makeup routine | feat. Glamnetic
Snitchery – Why YOU should change your ENTIRE brow routine to fit YOUR face
Snitchery – The Secret To Perfect Skin… FAKE IT WITH MAKEUP
Snitchery – Why YOU should change your ENTIRE lip routine to fit YOUR face
Procedure: To accomplish this goal, I will go through each of the above videos one by one and following along. I will take before and after photos each time, as well as gain feedback from Aaron on what he thinks of each look.
In the next post, I will include my Materials (products used for each look), Data, Results, and Conclusion! In the meantime, let’s pray for my skin, who will be going from having makeup on it three times in the past three months to 6+ looks in four days.
UPDATE: This will take longer than I thought. Should’ve guessed.
