Grab a tea and a snack and settle in for a cosy makeup tutorial with Soren, Sally and Maeri! We use calico cat colours as inspiration today (great colours for autumn!) and share some valuable information and reflections about our experience with therapy, inner worlds, and our Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder. DID is a complex and often misunderstood mental health condition, and we use our channel to help break the stigma by raising awareness and understanding. Join us as we blend beauty and information to create a platform of awareness and kindness for Systems living with DID.
The makeup products we use are listed in the video so you can follow along at home!

Hello everybody welcome back to another
video by dissociated this is going to be
a makeup tutorial video with some fun
facts or something about did I actually
know what I'm going to do I just I'm too
exhausted to do a normal video and we
get a lot of requests about how have you
done your makeup this way can you show
us how to do it so I'm more than happy
to do that you can't see right now but
there is a mango our cat laid on the
table right behind where I'm filming so
there's a chance she's going to go after
our wires and we'll have to be careful
about that but hopefully she's going to
behave herself so this is my bare face I
have nothing on I've not had anything
done to my face this is just what it
looks like however I have had a brow
lamination which basically makes your
eyebrows stick up a little bit more get
your nose out of my makeup bag please
get get back and I've also had a lash
lift which means these are my natural
lashes they've just being curled it's
like a perm for your lashes can you get
your nose out of there please don't bite
it don't bite it what are you
doing
no no no
no
no yeah that's better this hair has
faded like this but I think it looks
like Calico like a calico cat or a torto
shell cat with the sort of orangey Red
Ginger color the white and our natural
brown hair this was from when we dyed it
red so we're going to do a makeup look
that's themed around that I'm just going
to use the tarte shape tape concealer to
conceal my spots I have a horrible one
on my chin at the minute hey do you want
to do your makeup too you've got such
lovely white fur so I'm just putting
that on the areas where I need coverage
the most and then I'm going to blend it
in with a little brush I pat down using
the brush on the areas where I need the
most coverage and then I'll use my
finger to blend out around the edges and
make that soak into my skin I have used
perhaps a little bit too much it's been
a while since I did makeup and I forgot
how full coverage this is and that's the
result of that now we can put on the
Tinted Moisturizer which is very very
sheer if I can open it the reason I like
this as well is because this has SPF
this is 30 SPF so it's sun
[Music]
protection it also smells really good it
smells like sun cream to me but like the
kind of sun cream that you want to wear
like nice Sun cream this isn't sponsored
or anything like that I just really like
the way it smells it's sort of I don't
really know how to describe it slightly
fruity I'd say not like a coconuty smell
but definitely like a I would wear this
on holiday type smell mango back up
please you can't go in there that's
literally a makeup case yes I love you
too thank you for the kisses lick the
back of my Knuckles on that hand as you
can see the Finish is really really
natural so if you just need a little bit
of something and some SPF protection and
this is going to moisturize your skin as
well then I highly recommend this okay
what should we do
next blush I've picked out two blushes
which are blushers by made by Bell made
my [ __ ] wow no sorry made by Mitchell
absolutely not made by bitchell that
that's that's that's insane anyway I've
picked some orangish
Shades I'm really struggling to speak to
today I'm a bit dissociated I've not
actually used them on my face before
they were gifted to me by a friend so we
will see how they actually look on the
skin the idea is that I'm trying to
match this or I will be with the look
not sure how pigmented this is going to
be they tend to be quite pigmented so I
may have just made a big mistake by
putting that much on let's find out
that's so pretty though it's definitely
too much but it's okay they blend out so
nicely that if you're just patient with
it you can fix pretty much anything
that's such a pretty peach color this
color is can't cope with coral it was
Saar in when we started this I now also
have Sally quite close by not like Ultra
close but closer than she usually would
be when we're doing blush on our face we
tend to bring it quite high up under our
eye that's also because we have very
persistent dark circles that refuse to
be covered no matter how full coverage
the products we use are they just they
want to be seen they want to be loud and
proud and by bringing some color
especially if it's on sort of the
opposite sides of the color wheel up
underneath them it does help to blend
and cover that color as well okay I
think we'll stick with that I was going
to do an ombre of the coraly color and
the sort of readyy color but I feel like
that would be too much we're going to
pop a little bit of Contour on not too
much usually I'd put Contour on first
but I forgot
this is the e.l. Halo wand e.l. Halo
glow Contour in the lightest shade I'm
going to use the same brush that we used
to do the blush with and I
tap now I'm going to take a tiny bit on
the nose and do a tiny little bit of
nose
contouring like the lightest hand ever
and then just blend it out with a
smaller brush like this little one here
and again it's more like tapping than
anything
else except when I'm going down my nose
um I sort of stroke along the line to
blend it out the good thing about this
Contour color is because it's so cool
toned it does look like a shadow and
it's so light that it Blends into our
skin really well so none of those like
harsh contour lines if that's what you
like that's absolutely fine but that's
not what this look will give you this is
a bit more um subtle okay the next thing
I'm going to use is my ancient Modern
Renaissance palette which is I think
from actually 2016 I know I shouldn't be
using it I know it's almost definitely
expired but I refuse to let go of it
this is my husband um I love him and I
refuse to let go so I'm going to use the
shade warm taupe which is a very grayish
Brown as a just to darken my crease at
tiny little bit nothing too crazy I'm
just using the fluffier side of the
brush that comes in the
pan let's talk about some did related
things one of the major differences that
we found between having a therapist who
is more informed than an average trauma
therapist is that she's able
to identify switching and triggers
sometimes even before we're able to
identify them ourselves and sometimes
that can be very uncomfortable and
startling because you don't always want
someone to know when you're switching
other times it can be very helpful
because you'll be bringing up a topic
and she might be able to let you know
hey I can see you reacting like this is
somebody getting closer that you need to
pay attention to and you can be like oh
you're right I would not have noticed
because I was so focused on what I was
speaking about that someone else has
actually got closer whether that's due
to a trigger that impacts them or
something that they want to share or
because we're getting a bit too close to
something and someone's stepping in to
be like okay you need to watch what
you're saying I'm not comfortable
sharing this yet it's helpful to have
that additional Insight which someone
who is not as experienced in working
with complex trauma or specifically did
they may not be able to help you with
that just pulling a tiny little bit
under my lower lash line as well and
this really isn't all that visible it
just gives a little bit of extra
Dimension to your eyes especially if
you're about to do something that
doesn't involve a lot of eyeshadow
graphic eyeliner or dots or something
like that I'm now taking a light shade
it's just sort of a l like a a cream
color and putting that on my lid just so
that any of the Tinted Moisturizer
doesn't sink into the creases so it's
just mattifying it down but yeah that's
something that we find very helpful
about having someone who's experienced
with the to help us navigate trauma and
our system the did therapist that we
spoke to recently is actually a fully
integrated system herself so fully fused
into one sole identity so her
insights on the
diid as well as working with it and
healing it are supremely different to
other did Specialists that we've seen
except for one they speak quite
similarly um and notice things on the
same level but she was able to give us
some advice that even had me confused I
pride myself in liking to know at least
somewhat what's going on in the front
area of my system because I used to be
primary protector I haven't really
wanted to let go of that control I've
had to obviously but when I was Kyle I
was primary protector and I I don't like
that I'm now not allowed to know certain
things and you know I don't have all
that information anymore about the way
the system works and say way my systems
run and there was one thing that she was
telling us to do that would help us this
is the Hollywood Flawless filter I'm
going to use it as a highlighter there
was one thing she was telling us to do
which involved making a specific space
in the inner World which has specific
specific properties built into it and I
was asking how do I ensure that it works
you know I don't know how to do that I
don't know how to create spaces in the
inner world what's there is just there
and she was saying it will have what it
needs and I was like yes but how how do
we
ensure that it's going to do what it
needs to do do we need have a gatekeeper
there all the time to make sure for
example if ERS who are misbehaving are
made to leave that area and until
they're behaving better and then they
can come back in and she was like no no
no no no the space is like its own Altar
and I was like I don't understand how
that works I do not understand
but it's working and I wasn't the one to
set it up and she was like you're going
to need a little you're going to need a
little to do this and I was like what
and she was talking about different
amounts of imagination and that being
able to impact it and as she was telling
us this I did have a little close by and
she was like I can do
it there's things about how did works
even with the amount of research that
we've done the amount of qualifications
and certificates training stuff that
we've done plus having firsthand
experience plus knowing other systems
plus having being able to speak to
multiple professionals both in our
working career and as a client two
different sides of the spectrum there
there are still
things where I don't understand how it
works and I have to learn through
experience and I think there's a lot of
things where we don't necessarily know
why it works the way it does we just
know that it does work the helpful thing
about raising awareness about the ID in
the way that we do and in the way that
other people do as well is that it
encourages more research more research
into okay so we know that this does
happen why we need studies on it we need
to look into it more because I guess
that gives it more backing people are
more willing to take it seriously that
was interesting I was glad that it was
working but I also felt
very useless because it wasn't something
that I could help with and also I was
then nervous because I like to take
control of things where I can if
something went wrong I don't know how to
fix it but that's not my role there's a
reason why I don't know how to do it and
I don't know how to fix it and I don't
necessarily have direct access to it or
a way to control it cuz that's not for
me and some times letting go of that you
know desire for control desire to I need
to be in charge of the life and just me
I need to know what's going on all the
time I need to be able to choose what
happens it's so hard to have the ID and
not have those options about how to
control your own life you have to share
it with the other people who can take
executive control of your body because
that's just the way that your brain has
designed to work in order to survive
your experiences that doesn't mean it's
not difficult gets easier absolutely
gets easier some of it is always going
to be hard especially the trauma side of
things but I think that some of it does
get easier this a e.l.f Halo glow
setting powder just use this
brush oh that's so much
powder I'm going to start here cuz we
get shiny up here so we're going to Pat
that on and it's going to set the Tinted
Moisturizer and also help soak up any
excess oils so it will be more matte and
less shiny and it will help it stay as
well over the nose too cuz our makeup
always moves on our nose don't forget to
flick away any excess
powder you guys will have to let me know
what you think of this kind of more sit
down chaty style of video like a get
ready with me there's also a little chat
and information about the ID or things
that we're experiencing is this
something that you would like to be on
the channel more often or is it not
really something that you're enjoying
oo all over my
shirt and that's the base done now we
get to do the fun Parts I want to do two
lines as eyeliner I want an orange and I
want a brown going to do the orange
first which might not be the wisest
thing to do but we'll see makeup is all
about playing I'm using the color Case
by May made by Mitchell the orange color
I'm just going to take it from The Edge
zoom in a little shall we
wow that's real slow
hi and go looking at me from upside
down can I help
you okay so there's the orange
eyeliner now I'm going to grab some
brown going to use this brown which is
the lightest maybe this one warm that up
on the back of my hand in the same place
that I had the orange and mix what's
left of the orange with that sort of
light brown it's like a chocolate mousse
and I'm going to bring that just
underneath uh the orange it helps if you
pull your skin
tort like that
I may also do a little bit of an inner
corner just by pulling a little
line like that if you wanted to put fake
freckles or anything too this would be a
great color to do it with maybe I
should
okay okay I'm now going to use a water
activated liner from glisten Cosmetics
this is just a white
liner blend it into the
[Music]
skin black dots maybe
here I'm just using the end of the brush
to make a circle and
then here
and
yeah
oh it's cute I like it and then maybe
here now this is where I I have to be
careful that I'm not doing too
much cuz I get over
excited trying to open the packet
success it's called kugi it's by glisten
Cosmetics the
sparkles look at
[Music]
this I don't even know what I want to do
with it maybe a line
under
whoa I wasn't expecting it to have that
much pigment
and then I wanted to do
dots it's
okay I want to follow the white line as
well just like along the
[Music]
top the gold really added something to
this and going to
lie it's the slowest zoom in the whole
world so that's what we've got for eyes
oh I do want to put a little bit of gold
just right at the bottom in the middle
like here right under the Lash
line just in the very center of the eye
of the eye right below where if you're
looking straight at someone where your
iris would sit right under there maybe
also a little bit under the cat eye we
did
I think it's cute what do you
think but this is the way that we do our
makeup it's or the way I like to do my
makeup it's just I have an idea
sometimes I don't even have an idea of
like what colors to use I just like go
straight in and I explore and I just
keep going until I like it this is why
it's h you said that's why it's autistic
for me this is why it's artistic for me
I find it soothing and I know some
people might find it strange like saurin
you're a male alter in a female body why
would you want to do makeup men can wear
makeup too and for me I just see it as
art anyway I don't like the feeling of
heavy makeup and usually after we filmed
we only really do it for filming or if
we going to like a special event or
something I'll take it off as quickly as
possible cuz I don't like the way it
feels on my skin when it sits on my skin
which is one of the reasons why I like
that Tinted Moisturizer that we've got
now cuz it doesn't feel like you're
wearing anything on your skin whereas
heavy Foundation you can feel that and
it's really uncomfortable what I'm
thinking of doing now is I have this
which is the most dried out old ass
lipstick no T no shade it's a Jeffree
Star thing that we bought like it must
have been 2016 2017 something like that
it's musty it's so dry if I can get
anything out of it I will it's like a
brown with a purple Shimmer in
it so dry looks more like an ey Shadow
now than anything else um so that's just
in the outer Corner don't panic and I
have a plan and then I have those two
blushes remember so this is the darker
one called Peach sugar which again
haven't used these these were given to
us by a friend it's this kind of color
I'm thinking if I can mix those together
and then put the orangey shade in the
middle it's going to blend in a little
better let's see if this blush will even
work on the lips I'm blending very
gently over the lip line so it almost
looks like a freshly kissed or bitten
look it just Fades out the kind of way
that they do it in like China very
diffused around the lip line so this is
the powder same kind of color as my skin
there now you still have a diffused Edge
but it's inside your lip line now I'm
going to put the orange in the middle
this
one H not loving it I know well the
gloss will transform it but the colors
aren't right so what can I do picked up
the gold
again still don't like the color with
the look but I don't have anything else
down here had to bring things downstairs
to try and do this but I may be able to
fix it with gloss so let me run and grab
that found two things this also look if
you have expired makeup you should throw
it away do as I say not as I do this is
one of the first bits of makeup it's
like a chapstick lip gloss type thing
that I ever owned it's completely
discontinued now it's called a great
kisser by soap and Glory it smells and
tastes amazing and I just won't let go
of it I very rarely use it cuz it could
probably make me ill I've had it since I
was like
14 it's like semi sheer oh it smells so
nice something that I do use regularly
it's pretty much the only gloss I use I
just got really
dizzy I don't know if it's the smell of
this cuz I found it the other day when
we were doing a um deep cleaning of our
bathroom we haven't used it in years is
probably not since we were still a
teenager but I was like I'm not throwing
away I love
that okay I'm going to try and ignore
that
we're going to switch I want to finish
this so I'm at least going to put this
ow this
on uh this is the fentic gloss bom it's
like clear and
[Music]
gold sorry pretty weird
when pretty
pretty weird end to
video I think this might be a positive
trigger for
someone um hopefully I'll be able to
come back later
because we should film while we've got
makeup on whether we'll be able to I do
not
know but
uh I'm
sorry thank you for
watching I'm dissociated the heck
