A simple look, for a big dream, to make videos~ Today I’ve created my first video tutorial, the first of many I’m hoping. I think moving on to a video medium was only a natural extension of my growth on this blog. When I first started blogging for beauty, I was terribly shy, and so would take baby steps. Expressing myself through words, then photos, then more “outrageous” photos and finally video.
This is an amazing learning process, there are many things I want to change and improve on with my video, and I have a gazillion ideas I’ve been bouncing off my friends. I’m hoping with time I will be able to create for you some entertaining yet educational videos 🙂 Special thanks to Klaire de lys is who is in my opinion one of the most talented makeup artists I’ve ever met on youtube! Her support is amazing and I can only hope to be 1/10 as talented as she.
If you would still like to see the tutorials written out, please let me know below~ I don’t mind writing them up if anyone finds them useful~ Enjoy!

Great job on your first Youtube video, Celina! The music goes very well with the theme, especially with the jewellery you wore. Can’t wait for more videos from you 🙂
Yay! Thanks so much Tine 🙂 I really appreciate the feedback, suuuuper nervous about releasing my first video, so your comment is very reassuring 🙂
Great video Celina!! Your voice is so soothing, lovely makeup as always ♥
You really think so!? I thought my voice was the most annoying aspect hehe. Thanks Stef, especially from you, yet another fantastic youtube expert!
AMAZING JOB HT!!! No sure what you were worried about, you did wonderfully!! Looking forward to more vids 😀
Ps. Why is it so easy for you to apply false lashes?! It takes me forever so I usually just give up! lol
Aww HT, coming from you , the MBBE YT expert, that’s such a sweet compliment!
Lol I can apply false lashes only after doing it waaaay too much XD;
An amazing look, good on you for doing a video, keep it up – your very talented!
Thank you so much, from another youtube expert like yourself, I’m very relieved to hear it! 🙂 You’re very kind <3
Nice work on the video! 🙂 I think you did a really great job, so please do keep on going with video tutorials. Makeup is a lot easier to learn via watching than reading. I don’t really think you need to write it out as well. Everything is really clear from the video and you’ve got the products list if anyone wants suggestions of what to use.
Keep ’em coming! 🙂
Thanks for the encouragement 🙂 I feel so motivated now with everyone being so lovely to me 😀 I agree, I find watching videos to be much easier to understand so hopefully I can delve into more complex looks with the videos~ Might back track and do tutorials for some older Book of Fables that have past.
Hurray for video!
It’s much easier to follow watching than reading.
I would have prefered the music to be softer, more background compared to your narration.
Maybe in future you’ll do some basic tutorials on parts that seemed to go fast? Like foundation and false eyelashes? They could then be linked, so the lookbook video doesn’t have to be extensively long.
Looking forward to them, keep it up!
Thanks so much Tanya, I really value your input, especially since you’ve been with me since the start of Fables 🙂 Thanks so much for the suggestions, I will def look into making some mini tut for very specific things~~ Thanks again for sticking with me and always giving me sincere honest advice 😀
Love the video Celina! You did an amazing job with the makeup and video!
Thanks Emily, I really appreciate the feedback 🙂 I can’t wait to get started on more now~
Love the video, you did an amazing job! Can’t wait for more.
This look is very pretty too.
Thanks so much Gio <3 🙂 It was a tough step to take, but I'm so glad I did it 🙂
love your debut feature video Celina 🙂
Very soft and pretty look – me likey
Thank you kindly <3 <3 🙂 I can always count on my MBBE girls for support~~
I'm so sad I missed you today 🙁 Silly work!
blingin’! 😀
You know it 😉
Celina, great video..loved your techniques. The background music was so apt for the theme…loved it. Waiting for more videos to come
Aww thank you so much Maddy 🙂 That means a lot to me, I’m so new to video editting, there is a wealth of information to learn, and I feel very encouraged by your comment to keep going 🙂
Awesome video! It really does help to actually see how the makeup is applied (especially for the eyes). At least, I think so lol! This was such a pretty look, very polished and sopisticated.
Just one thing tho, maybe you could say a few words to introduce youself and the video at the start? I dunno, maybe it’s just me, but I felt like it was too abrupt going straight into the actual tutorial. I always loved reading about your inspiration for each BoF, it sorta gives each one added dimension. Would be nice to hear about it in the video too!
Just my 2 cents lol! Anyways, great job, I’m looking forward to seeing more~ 🙂
Yay! Thank you so much for giving such detailed feedback, this is exactly what I was looking for 🙂 I totally agree with what you are saying, and I’ll definitely see how I can work it into my next videos 😀 Thanks so much!! You’re a legend~
Hey Celina, I think you look younger in video than photo so I think yes u shld do more videos! I think u did a great job except I found the music a bit distracting and a bit unnerving after a while…perhaps it was a bit loud.
Great job & pls do the Morphorium look! haha! I tried an alternative on my own: http://www.louisakoh.com/2011/05/duping-the-shu-uemura-morphorium-look/ but mine looks nothing like yours! 🙂
Dude, I think you did a really lovely job~ Don’t sell yourself short!!
Thank you so so much for your feedback and recommendations 🙂 I really appreciate this, it’s exactly what I need to make better videos! A lot of people have been telling me the music was too loud so I will make it much softer during the actual tutorial 🙂 And yes, happy to mention what brushes I use too~ 🙂 Thank you <3 <3
Hey Celina, do you think you can also include the brushes you use in your product list? I think that’d really help! 🙂
Wow wonderful Celina! Love the music choice too, gives the video a very dreamy feel. It doesn’t look like it’s your first video at all. I would love to see you do more, I think you have a real talent for them.
Aww Peta! Thank you so much 🙂 I loved making this video almost as much as doing the makeup for it so I’m looking forward to more in the future 😀
