The brief
Kaitlyn Bristowe and Darcei Giles begin with an everyday makeup routine, moving through primer, complexion products, lip care, and techniques for mature or oily skin.
Darcei traces Black Girl Tries from its beginnings on YouTube to a community built around both entertainment and education for Black women.
The conversation sharpens around inclusion: criticism of limited shade ranges led beauty brands to seek Darcei’s input on product development and shade matching.
K-beauty’s formulas, undertones, and availability in Canada become a practical lens for comparing Korean products with mainstream American offerings.
The standout turn arrives when Darcei describes her ambition to build an inclusive cosmetics company inspired by K-beauty and her experience online.
As the look comes together, both women frame makeup as personal expression rather than a rule-bound routine, balancing natural preferences with dramatic options.
