Hey English learners! In today's video, I'm  gonna do a makeup tutorial/makeup vocabulary class. Today I'm gonna do my everyday makeup, the  makeup that I wear to school, that I wear to work, everywhere that I go. I always kind of have  this face on and I have a little mirror, and we're gonna be able to learn a lot of cool words  that you guys may or may not know. So let's start!
2
I have a mirror with me. This is a mini mirror,  so a tiny one, and here we have my makeup bag, so first things first. What I do is hydrate my  face. I think that's one of the most important things. So before I apply my makeup, I put a  little moisturizing lotion, my moisturizer, you can call it either one of the two, but I feel  like "moisturizer" is the most common used one.
3
This is my moisturizer. I apply it in little dots  all over my face and then I just smooth it out.
4
After we did that, I most likely will put  sunscreen on. I'm not leaving my house today, but it's very important to put your SPF sunscreen  lotion every day when you're going outside.
5
It's very important for your skin, to  keep it healthy. Now I'm gonna put this little serum lotion thing. It's supposed to  give you an ultimate glow and brighten up your face. I apply it first on my forehand,  and then I put little dots all over my face, and then we can smooth it  out, blend it all together.
6
Now that our face is all glowy, hydrated,  moisturized, whatever you want to call it, I start applying my concealer. Today, since I'm  only going to be working from home, what I'm gonna do is I'm only gonna apply concealer  on my face. I'm not gonna wear foundation, which I usually use. This is foundation.  Foundation is for more a more high coverage finish that you put all over your  face. A concealer is more of a spot treatment sort of thing. So I apply it to the  spots that I need. Let me get my mirror. The spots that I need some coverage on... So this  is my chin area, I have a couple of breakouts.
7
Breakouts are pimples, blackheads, those kind of  things. Since I'm using it as a foundation today, I'm gonna put it a little bit on my cheeks, on the  red spots, and now I'm gonna apply it under my eye to cover my eye bags.
8
I'll apply a little bit on my nose and on my  forehead. Before blending this out, I will grab my brow gel, and I'm just gonna brush my eyebrows up.
9
So they will have a gelled-up  look. To fill in my eyebrows I use this clear brow gel and it's also serum  to grow your lashes. You can use a brow pencil or a brow gel with color, so a colored brow gel.  Mine is transparent, so I just brush it up and it holds my eyebrows up like that. And now I will  grab my sponge and blend all the concealer out.
10
I like more of a natural makeup  look, so I will most of the times use only concealer or a skin tint, which is a  little bit less high coverage than foundation.
11
So this is how my skin is looking like when it's  all blended out. Now what I'll do next is apply a little bit of blush. So let me open my little  blush. It's so cute, it has a little mirror, and this is my little blush brush. So anything  like this, you guys can call it brushes, just like you're painting on a painting, and  painters use brushes, makeup artists do as well.
12
So I'm taking here my blush and  putting it on my cheekbones.
13
I just apply it like that. I like  to put a little bit on my nose, on my higher nose. Some people are against that  but I really like how it looks. It gives off sunburn vibes, so I really like that. This blush  is really pink, but I really like it, and it goes away during the day, so it's all right. I'll come  with my little sponge and just fix up these spots right here. Now I will get my contour and carve  out my cheekbones. I like to do it like that.
14
And then on my nose. Let me grab my mirror.
15
I like to put it in an upwards motion on  both sides of my nose, and then a little blob over here. Going up the sides of my nose.  I like to put a little bit over here as well.
16
And sometimes a little bit on  the top of my forehead, like so.
17
I like to keep it natural, so I don't  put a lot of it. And I will grab my my other brush. This is a brush for your face in  general. When I blend it on my eyes, I like to do an upwards motion, so it really lifts up your eye.  Here on the forehead, I just make little circles.
18
And here on my cheekbones, we  can just glide through like that, and on the nose as well. I always like to  grab my sponge. I feel like it gives me more precision. After that I'll grab my eyeshadow  palette, and what I like to do is grab my finger or you can use an eyeshadow brush, but I like  putting a little bit of white on my eyelids, just to give a little bit of brightness on  my eyes. And also I feel like it mattens up a little bit of my eyes. So it doesn't crease during  the day because of the concealer or foundation.
19
Usually my eyes crease up, but when I put a  little bit of white eyeshadow, it doesn't.
20
So just a little bit of brightness like that!  And that's how it looks. Then I will grab a little brush like this and put a little bit of  highlighter that we also have in this palette.
21
I'll put it on the tip of my nose on the bridge  of it as well. This is the bridge of my nose.
22
And sometimes if I want to brighten up my eyes a  little bit more, I'll put it in my inner corner.
23
So the inner corner of my eyes and go up a little  bit like so. You can also put on your brow bone and sometimes on top of your  mouth on your Cupid's bow.
24
After that I like putting a little bit of  setting spray. Also you can put highlight over here on your cheekbones, but since my skin  is very glowy today, I'm not gonna do that, and I I like doing that for going out rather than  staying in. So now I will do my setting spray.
25
And we're still not done! I'm  gonna grab my curling tool, my curling eyelash tool, so I  will curl my eyelashes like so.
26
And I will apply my mascara next. I put  setting spray before I put my mascara on because or else it will smudge and it just looks  like eye bags and it's really hard to take off.
27
So I apply it on my top eyelashes, and sometimes  on my lower eyelashes, but I don't like doing that too often. So, done! And now for my lips.  What I will do is I'll grab a lip liner.
28
After I put my lip liner -- I didn't  put a lot -- I'll grab some gloss, and I'll just apply it like that on my lips, and  we're ready to go! This is my makeup look for today. Like I told you guys, I like a very natural  makeup look so that's what I did. I hope you guys like the makeup look for today, and if you guys  have any questions, you can comment them down below. I really hope you guys learned some makeup  vocab today. Thank you so much for watching. For more English tips subscribe to our channel and  join us at Languistic.ca. Thank you guys. Bye!

Per migliorare la tua pratica di conversazione in inglese, affrontando le sfide del video di Julia, segui questa guida di shadowing:

  1. Inizia con l'ascolto attivo: Prima di tutto, guarda il video senza cercare di parlare. Presta attenzione al modo in cui Julia pronuncia le parole e le frasi.

  3. Utilizza un vocabolario specifico: Prendi nota delle parole e delle frasi chiave. Focalizzati su termini come "moisturizer", "concealer" e "blush" come punto di partenza per costruire il tuo lessico.
  4. Pratica con un mirror: Usa uno specchio durante la tua pratica di shadowing, proprio come fa Julia. Questo ti aiuta a concentrarti su espressioni facciali e postura.
  5. Registra e riascolta: Registrati mentre parli e confronta la tua pronuncia con quella di Julia. Questo passaggio è cruciale per notare aree di miglioramento nella tua shadow speech.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
