Before and after: She served as a model for one of the first videos on his channel

She sadI: 'As he’s pursuing his YouTube channel, I just encourage him to be true to himself and find his own voice. He’s funny, smart, and inspiring,' Marcia said of her son

Fam: Marcia is pictured with Holden (far right) and her 14-year-old Julietta. She also has a 19-year-old named Eulala (not pictured)

'My boy done glammed me UP!' Marcia wrote on Instagram last week, promoting the video. 'Was in the garden all day, glam at night.'

'BUT I got a tan this summer.. so my normal foundation caught us by surprise — and he generously worked around it by bronzing me up! Note to self — bring darker foundation w me in the summer!

Hudson introduces the video with infectious glee, telling viewers how excited he is for the tutorial because it's with his mom.

Marcia reveals that she was in the yard with a weed-wacker earlier in the day when Hudson brought her in for the makeover, getting her red carpet-ready.

The video cuts to Marcia with a makeup-free face, sitting and in close-up while her son gets started.

Step by step: In the video, Holden walks through all the steps of the makeup

Smart: He started out with her eyes, explaining that this way dark powder there wouldn't bleed into foundation

Neutrals: He uses a palette to give her a glam eyeshadow look

So proud! Marcia was very impressed with her son's expertise

Talking: During the video, they chat, and Marcia mentions loving Cher

He explains that he is beginning with the eyes and the eyebrows before moving onto the foundation — which appears to be a new way of doing things for Marcia, who asks why he is going in that order.

'We're going to be using dark pigments, so if those fall onto your cheeks and mixes with the foundation, it's gonna look really bad,' he explains.

He fills in her brows, then primes her eyelids with concealer as a base, blending with a BeautyBlender.

Taking out a Kat Von D eyeshadow palette, he shows off his expertise by discussing the consistency of the powder before putting it on her lids

He also uses an UrbanDecay eyeliner along her lash line and expertly blends the different shadow shades.

Off-camera, a girl's voice can be heard during the clip, which may belong to Marcia's 14-year-old daughter Julitta. They chat, with Marcia admitting she 'fangirled' over Cher the time she hosted a function with the singer.

One at a time: He names each of the products he uses and holds them up

'It's a whole different world. There was no Sephora when I was coming up,' she said

Whoops! She discovered that her normal foundation was too light since she got a tan this summer

Even tone: He used bronzer and contoured to make it work 

Hudson finishes up with liquid liner before moving on to face makeup. He explains that lash makeup with come last — because powder her uses on her forehead may end up stuck in mascara. 

He uses Benefit primer on her face, pointing out the product name to the camera — catching his mother's attention

'It's a whole different world. There was no Sephora when I was coming up,' she says, noting that she doesn't know the names of all the products she uses. 'You bought your stuff at, like, Rite-Aid.'

He adds Smashbox primer, Hourglass foundation, Tarte concealer, Calvin Klein bronzer, MAC powder, and powders from a NYX contour palette.

Piling on more products, he adds a Benefit blush, and Urban Decay lip pencil, false lashes, and finally, liquid lipstick.

Ever the pro, Marcia preens and poses to show off the final look.

'I love it,' she gushes with a proud smile. 'I'm really happy, you did a great job. All my makeup artists are gonna hate you!' 

Lots of steps: He also let powders bake, momentarily making his mom look quite silly

Final touches: He finished with false lashes, lipliner, and lipstick

Voila! Marcia is so proud of her son's handiwork

'I love that he’s teaching me things I never knew and that he tries both traditional and outside-the-box looks on himself,' she added

She said: 'He’s a super hard worker and I’ve really come to respect all the work he puts into creating, shaping and editing his content'

However, she can't help but get a little mothering in: When Hudson encourages viewers to subscribe, she chastises: 'But Hudson, when school starts, you're not going to be posting every other day.'

'I know,' he answers. 'I'll post every week.'

Speaking to Today Style, Marcia talked about encouraging her son to follow his dreams.

'As he’s pursuing his YouTube channel, I just encourage him to be true to himself and find his own voice. He’s funny, smart, inspiring and I think he’s part of the new generation of kids who lift each other up,' she said.

'I love that he’s teaching me things I never knew and that he tries both traditional and outside-the-box looks on himself,' she added. 

'He’s a super hard worker and I’ve really come to respect all the work he puts into creating, shaping and editing his content. 

'He takes it seriously while he’s having fun, and I think that’s a great combo!'
