1
hey welcome back to my channel today i'm showing you my
2
five minute no foundation makeup routine here's me without makeup
3
and with makeup a super fast
4
and simple look make sure to turn your language voice over in the settings
5
and let's dive in concealer we will hide all imperfections under
6
the eyes including blue vents choose one with a matte finish it's not sticky
7
and it's very comfortable to wear i also apply it on my nose
8
because i have large pores here it helps absorb oil blend
9
it out using circular motions then slide the excess product down
10
to the perimeter of the face creating a thin layer just look at
11
that it doesn't even look like you have anything on your
12
center of your face keep using circular motions around the nose cheeks
13
and forehead anywhere you have pores you are basically just polishing them blush time i bought the new viral blush
14
because all my previous products have a glowy dew texture this one is matte not too much
15
and i love the color range actually
16
and it melts beautifully with the warmth of your fingertips
17
and blends seamlessly using the same brush use socle motions on
18
the cheeks swiping it towards the outer corners of the eyes
19
for a lifted look i apply it like contour on the cheekbones blend it higher towards the temples
20
and here's my favorite tip for fresher look add a bit on the nose for
21
that sun-kissed or slightly sunburned effect i also use the same product on my lips the velvet texture feels
22
so comfortable lightweight
23
and you barely feel it on nice for hot summer days
24
eyebrows start by brushing them out i begin with a lower
25
line it should be parallel to the upper line fill in any gaps
26
and draw the tail don't worry
27
if you press too hard with the pencil you can always brush it out that's the beauty of using pencils
28
if you brush out more than you expected just go back
29
and add a few strokes again i will add more to the tails now
30
and let's compare the two brows as you can see i have very thin hairs
31
and they are barely visible i have to color them every
32
month now let's do the other side again find two perilous
33
line draw the low line then the tail mark the highest point of your eyebrow and connect connected to the tail,
34
filling all the gaps.
35
Only after that, should you move to the front of the brow.
36
And finally, don't forget to brush it out.
37
This removes any excess pencil or wax texture between the hairs and softens visible strokes on the skin.
38
I also use the same product as a lip liner.
39
It's a technique I've loved for years, about 10 years now since i started my career as a
40
pro makeup artist outline your lips then blend with your fingertip
41
it gives your lips a fuller softly defined look creating a sculptured effect with a shadow
42
and light contrast if you prefer more visible effect apply more
43
and skip the second blending personally i like soft edges
44
so i blend them with a q-tip no brush this time look at the difference between the two sides.
45
Eyeliner, the hardest part, I know, doing it five minutes feels almost impossible.
46
I start at the outer corner, feel how the liner prints,
47
just lay it along the lash line and press lightly without stretching your skin, feel how it works.
48
If you have hooded eyes like me, gently stretch the skin a bit to even out the line with the tip of the marker
49
and Keep your eye open wide,
50
find the point where the two lines should meet make a small stroke here identify where the crease is
51
and stop just before it connect the two lines
52
and fill in any gaps your ring can be longer
53
or shorter depending on your mood or the occasion or your features
54
but here's a tip lightly smudge the end with your fingertip nail
55
or a sharp brush now let's do the other side after carefully printing along the lash line
56
and perfecting the line with the tip draw the wing just follow the low lash line direction
57
and make the wing slightly longer even
58
if you make some small mistakes don't worry we can hide
59
them with mascara that's our secret nobody's gonna know unless you tell them
60
a thick layer of mascara can cover up little imperfections this one is perfect for me
61
because it's gentle on sensitifies
62
and safe for contact lens swears it washed off easily with a warm water
63
and is a true intense black that's it hair down change clothes
64
and add a bit more blush to the lips that's our final look what do you think yes
65
or no and let me know in the comments what your must have in your makeup routine
66
that you can't live without thank you for watching stay fabulous and see you next

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
