1
Hey Allure, I'm Gracie Abrams and this is my 10 minute beauty routine.
2
Today I'm going to keep it really simple.
3
This is kind of like what I do when I don't want to be completely barefaced, but when I really want to feel like myself.
4
I feel like having watched beauty videos, I'm like trained to do the like...
5
This is the Caudalie Beauty Elixir.
6
This is what I use every time I'm doing my makeup.
7
It also feels like a bit of a, like a meditative thing.
8
The smell is crazy good.
9
This is a fresh one.
10
So, oh, it's so good, guys.
11
It smells like, it reminds me of being home.
12
So I think being on tour every five seconds, this is like a bit of home for me.
13
It's like, you know, the sense memory of smells that like really brings you back to a place of peace.
14
This is another like must for me because being on the road and traveling so much where sleep isn't always reliable.
15
I feel like I wake up sometimes after a shower sometimes like something and my eyes are just red and puffy.
16
And so this is Lumify and it helps me feel like I appear more awake than I am.
17
um so i do like a a drop per
18
and it's just really trustworthy to be honest with you it
19
does feel like you look like you've had 10 coffees
20
or something in a not scary way just in like a
21
i'm up this is the laneige lip sleeping mask in vanilla
22
i think i've had every i was gonna say flavor every
23
uh scent of this product over the past few years it's
24
like always in my bag it's the best to prep
25
and also i think because the look
26
that i'm doing today the look oh yeah the look
27
that i'm doing today is like very uh glowy it's just
28
supposed to be fresh this is alone you don't need like a liner
29
or a balm or excuse me like a gloss
30
or anything this kind of does it I feel like I started taking skincare seriously when I started breaking out.
31
I didn't have acne prone skin until I went to college
32
and then I did and it's been kind of like a real journey ever since then
33
and so I think I've you know on the skincare front just tried to use products
34
that I notice don't cause flare-ups this is the hourglass veil
35
hydrating skin tint addicted to this it's gorgeous I'm in shade three
36
which is I also like I'm sometimes shade one
37
because I'm pale beyond belief but even
38
if like okay before I even put it on my face can you see this it's
39
so glowy and it just feels like a silky moisturizer
40
so I do it with my fingers sometimes I use yeah
41
no I'm not gonna use a brush allow me to show
42
you like see how I've just been on tour I got
43
back two nights ago I'm gonna blend it nobody who freaked out
44
and traveling like flying dries out your skin in a huge way this product reverses
45
that like makes me feel like I haven't just been the
46
most dehydrated girl in the history of time for the past month.
47
I do my own makeup on tour which I actually really enjoy
48
because it kind of is like this dedicated 30 minute period of the day where it's like quiet
49
and I listen to like classical music and try to tune out.
50
I learned how to do my makeup from
51
well Emily Chang my genius makeup artist the day
52
that we shot the pictures in the video for the song I did with Selena
53
and Benny we realized that
54
that was the last time we were gonna see each other before I left on the road
55
and we filmed a video that day that's like a 45 minute long video of her doing my makeup and I
56
watched that on the first night of tour this past month
57
and feel like I just tried to lock in and gain as much knowledge through her as I could.
58
This product does go hand in hand with this one for me
59
and sometimes I don't use concealer because I don't really mind always
60
when there's like I have a few spots right now a few blemishes
61
and it doesn't bother me really for that to show through
62
but when I'm on tour or
63
if you want to just not see them this this is the hourglass Spanish airbrush concealer I'm in
64
silk and I use this like under eyes on blemishes it helps brightening your face obviously but it's just really mega.
65
There's something really relaxing about using your fingers only to do makeup.
66
In therapy, I learned about tapping, which is like, it helps regulate your nervous system.
67
And so tapping like here and like literally across your face is something that I do to reduce anxiety,
68
which might sound silly to people who haven't tried it before
69
but it's actually really great
70
and it does help calm me down i feel like pre-show i'm always like tapping my face
71
and so to be honest applying concealer feels like an extension of
72
that a little bit it's peaceful okay so i told you about emily earlier
73
but em did this really sweet thing this palette emily made for me
74
and it has my name on it which we love a label maker um
75
but I use this is the milk contour
76
and then this is the katie jane hughes uh highlighter
77
and these two together are like I use them every single time I'm on stage
78
and I also use them in my day-to-day life I'm just gonna hold this here
79
as I do more intricate work with the contour.
80
I like to warm up my face in certain places, mostly here, here, here, a little bit under my lip sometimes.
81
It's funny, I've watched so many of these videos, and now that I'm doing one, I'm like, I wonder if I'm talking too little or too much or what the vibe is,
82
but it's nice to hang out with you guys virtually wherever you are.
83
I hope it's gorgeous.
84
Okay, so here here, I'm actually not even gonna do cheekbones today to be honest with you.
85
I think just center of the face.
86
I do a little bit on my chin, which I think is just, I do this on tour.
87
I think it just helps create a little shadow, but, oh, the highlighter now I wanted to show you.
88
I'm obsessed with this.
89
This is the Katie Jane Hughes highlighter, and I like to take some on my finger like that, and then I warm it up on the back of my hand a little bit
90
and just press it into the high points I do cheekbones here
91
and then I do a little bit in the inner corner
92
corners of my eye like a dot boom boom blend that's kind of it really
93
yeah
94
and now um i use blush as much as i do like a the skin tint it's like skin tint
95
and blush i would say are the two go-to products
96
and this is fenty in summertime wine amen sometimes i'll like tap the blush into the con
97
or excuse me the highlighter so it's kind of just like a two-in-one thing
98
and I do it a little bit excessively
99
but it makes me feel again alive I think that's the
100
theme of this look is like trying to feel as alive as possible um
101
so I go across I've seen so many videos on blush placement
102
and what it can do for the shape of your face
103
but I feel like I just go everywhere with it
104
and now I got curl lashes at the very end uh
105
because I don't like wearing mascara to be honest on a daily basis.
106
I feel like it can be drying and I don't know.
107
Sometimes I don't love how I look wearing mascara and I'm not necessarily that great at applying it.
108
So this is just what I do on a daily basis.
109
And then fragrance.
110
This is another 13 by Le Labo and then this is called Sex Musk
111
and this is by Cycler
112
and I have started using this recently um my friend claudia makes it
113
and it's gorgeous and i do this on my wrists
114
and i go here and i go here it's so good it's
115
so good and then why do i shake it i don't need to shake it
116
and that's the look i'm feeling fresh and alive
117
and i'm just gonna keep tapping the rest of this excess in for the rest of my day.
118
This is the finished look.
119
Thank you Allure for watching my 10 minute beauty routine.
120
I will see you next time.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
