VIDEO TRANSCRIPT (ENGLISH)
Hi. My name is Sheriauna.
I am a below the left elbow amputee. And today I am going to show you how I do my makeup.
So first I get. Before anything, I wash my face and moisturize. And then I get my foundation. I use powder foundation just like if my face is really oily and I want to make it not oily I'll put some powder on it. I just put some powder foundation on.
So what I do, is I just place it evenly on my arm. And it honestly just balances like this.
So I get some and then. I don't put too much because I don't need too much. Like, I'm a competition dancer so I already use a lot of makeup, so when I'm doing it just for school, I don't do too much.
Next, I get my mascara. And I open it like this (hold it between my stomach and my left arm and then twist it with my other arm).
And I usually hold it in between my stomach and arm. And this part, depending on what clothes I'm wearing, I usually miss it and get it on my clothes, which is really disappointing. But this morning I have a black shirt on so it's okay.
Hold it here (near your eye) and I just do my mascara. Okay. There we go.
Okay next. I have blush and same thing. I just rest it right here (on left arm), then I get the blush. I put some on my nose because it looks cute.
And last thing is my highlighter. I just take my finger and I put a little on my nose.
And that's it - I'm done!
