Good morning, loves! In this cozy behind-the-scenes vlog, I’m taking you through how I prepare, film, and edit short-form TikTok/Instagram makeup content for Too Faced—specifically for the viral #CherryLips trend and the Kissing Jelly Lip Oil-Gloss launch. I always start by getting the whole vibe right (hair, outfit, nails, and the makeup look), because for beauty content the overall look and feel matters so much—especially with Too Faced where it’s very pink, soft-girl, princess energy. For filming, I’m using my Sony ZV-1 (I literally call him Tiny Tony because he’s tiny but a BEAST for crisp close-ups) plus my trusty tripod. Since it was a gloomy winter day, I also used my SmallRig portable light to save the lighting. Then I show you my real-life workflow: tidying up the chaos after filming (not my favorite, but I can’t edit in a messy space), unboxing new Too Faced goodies from work, and then jumping into editing in Final Cut Pro. I cut down to a 30-second video, match clips to music, do a simple clean-up color adjustment, export in 4K to protect quality, and add TikTok-style captions on my iPad—because text helps so much, especially for silent viewers.
