ChickAdvisor Takes on the 'No Mirror Makeup Challenge'

Posted by Alexandra C. | Tuesday September 18, 2012

I'm a lady (okay, saying 'lady' is debatable) with considerable experience in applying, talking about and buying makeup. So when I first caught wind of the 'No Mirror Makeup Challenge' videos going around on YouTube, I admit that I thought to myself: "Who are these newbies? Psshhh, I could totally do that, no prob!".

If you haven't seen any of these videos or if you haven't yet heard of this concept, I suggest checking out this (very funny) No Mirror Makeup Challenge video over here first. But for those who like the Coles notes version, the challenge is basically asking you to do a full face of makeup (eyes, lips, face and all) without looking in the mirror!

Ali and I decided to take on this challenge and prove that we could indeed do it with the best of them. For an added challenge, we put ourselves on a five minute time limit. Now, remember how cocky I was about this before? Well, it turns out I need to cut myself a slice of humble pie because I was wrong. Oh boy, was I. Just watch our video, chicks and see for yourself:

So how did we fare? Have you tried out this challenge or would you try it out? What do you think your results would be like?
