The narrator, who claims to be "horrible at makeup," attempts to recreate a simple makeup look by James Charles, a beauty guru. They spend $120 on makeup products at CVS, struggling to find the right shades and products. As they follow James Charles' tutorial, they encounter difficulties with applying foundation, concealer, powder, and other products, often resulting in a messy and uneven look.
Despite the challenges, the narrator perseveres and completes the look, which they then reveal to their friend Shane. Shane provides a humorous and honest critique of the look, pointing out areas where the narrator went wrong.
The narrator concludes that doing makeup is much harder than they expected and expresses a newfound appreciation for beauty gurus who create complex looks every day. Although they don't think they'll be doing makeup again soon, they consider the experience worth the $120 spent.
