You might know her as the innovative creator of Murder, Mystery, and Makeup, or you may recognize her unmatched makeup skills from your Instagram feed, but we’re excited to officially dub Bailey Sarian as our February Glam Bag X curator. “I am psyched for you to experience my Glam Bag X and kick-start your beauty evolution,” says Bailey. “Prepare to embrace your wild side with my GBX collab, where dramatic makeup and no-holds-barred glamour will give you a guaranteed glow-up.

Behind Bailey’s Glam Bag X Collection

Bailey’s proclivity for true crime started from a young age. “My mother worked as a 9-1-1 dispatcher, and as a kid, I would go along with her to work,” she says. “She would give me headphones and let me listen to the phone calls she was taking. We look back and laugh about it, but now that I’m older…I don’t know why she was taking a child to work as a 9-1-1 dispatcher?!” Arguments aside, it was those experiences that introduced Bailey to the world of true crime, a passion she was able to merge with her other love: makeup.

“I had been doing makeup tutorials on YouTube for quite some time when, in 2018, I became enthralled by the Chris Watts case, but I had nobody to talk about it with,” says Bailey. “Then I had the idea, why not make a video where I talk about the case and do my makeup at the same time?” Murder, Mystery & Makeup was born. Her channel now features more than 120 videos of the series and boasts more than 884 million views.

Bailey has always been about pushing boundaries. Whether that looks like never shying away from a bold lipstick, rocking that full-glam smoky eye (even to the grocery store), or listening to a retelling of a true crime story while perfecting a graphic winged eyeliner, she’s challenging you to have fun and try something new. “My beauty philosophy is have fun and don’t be afraid to try something new, which is exactly what I want you to do with my Glam Bag X,” she says. “You want to do a bold lip? You do that bold lip!” Ready to slay your look? Trust us, when Bailey’s done with you, you’re going to look absolutely killer.
