Makeup tutorials have become a sensation, but let’s be honest: following them can be a challenge. I often find myself frantically stopping the tutorial with one hand while attempting to master eyeliner with the other, all while muttering a few choice words under my breath. The cycle continues day after day, leaving me frustrated and ready to give up on makeup altogether.
Fortunately, we stumbled upon a delightfully entertaining makeup tutorial that’s sure to brighten your day. Cincinnati news anchor Jake Thompson, known for his early morning routine videos on Facebook, recently shared a segment from his series “Wake Up and Makeup” that has gone viral, amassing over a million views. What makes this particular tutorial stand out is its relatable humor and lighthearted approach.
In the video, Jake kicks off by acknowledging it’s early on a Friday, yet he’s brimming with excitement—especially about his new concealer stick. He enthusiastically declares it’s “big news,” and after watching his antics, we can’t help but agree. Who knew applying concealer could be so much fun? With a few sound effects and some imaginative lightsaber play, he makes the mundane process engaging. He even humorously points out that the concealer stick doesn’t actually produce lightsaber sounds, which is a letdown.
The concealer does, however, work wonders on his skin, which he likens to the thrill of cracking open a fresh jar of peanut butter. Sorry, Jake, but nothing can quite compare to Nutella! This week is particularly exciting for him as he also introduces a new foundation into his routine. He compares this rare occurrence to the recent super blue blood moon—two new makeup products at once is indeed a cosmic event.
As he blends the foundation, he jokingly admits to having a significant amount of neck hair, comparing himself to Wolverine—minus the claws, of course. Who knew Wolverine could be so adept with a concealer stick? He shares his unique blending technique, which involves a “violent” approach on his face and a more “dainty” touch on his neck. “Violent on the face and dainty on the neck” is a mantra worth remembering for makeup enthusiasts everywhere.
Next up is blush, which Jake says makes him look like Raggedy Andy—a comparison that’s hard to dispute. But blending is key! He quips, “Hurt your face, and now it knows that you love it,” as he blends away.
As he wraps up, he delivers the most relatable line ever in a makeup tutorial: “Already sweating, already sweating…” while he applies an almost ludicrous amount of powder. Yet, we can’t deny the impressive end result.
