Recreating my Smoke Signals face chart from Fall 2007. LOOOVE IT!!!
This is a true ‘Josh’ style makeup. I get asked a lot if I wear makeup on a daily basis.. NO! I only wear makeup if I’m going out to party, or somewhere I know lots of photos will be taken, so I don’t look busted! Even then, chances are good I’ll only wear concealer, powder, and brows. On those super rare times I feel like going all out, this is something you will be me rock in a heartbeat! Dark, matte, and smoky. YUM!
So here you go! Everything else you need to know is under the cut.

Josh, I love this face. Can a NW45 pull this off and be hot?
Wonderful Josh. This is so far my favourite of yours. You look great with it! Mind if I copy it? ;P
love the look – see you smiling with your eyes!!
I know this doesn’t belong here but I don’t (want to) have a youtube account and therefore can’t comment on your latest video.
When you went through different shaving products you said that cream is better than foam or gel because of the gas that the latter two contain. But whenever there’s lather there’s gas, even when using cream. There wouldn’t be bubbles without air and what’s air if not gas?
This bothered me so I had to get it out of my system.
I love your videos and I think you’re the coolest. Hugs from Finland.
gas as in butane. i know air is a gas, but not all creams lather so not all creams contain gas.
shaving products in a can that is compressed usually contain butane, which isn’t great for the skin.
I love your videos! I tried doing the smokey eye last night and, for the first time in my life, I didn’t look like I got punched in the eye. I’ll be checking in regularly….
Ok, I see. Thanks for the clarification.
great look but i’m sure you already know that =)
off topic, but where’d you get that necklace your wearing?
woah i love this look. and that picture of you is smoking!!!!
love a big fan
Hey Josh,
Im a recent subscriber to your YouTube page and can I just say you always look AMAZING! Question for you…I wear falsies maybe once every few months and I always throw them away after one use. How many times can you use false eyelashes and any good tips on how to clean them in between uses?
