hello everyone welcome back to my channel this week i'm doing this makeup look right here

if you want to see how i did it just keep

watching i have already prepped my skin i put a milk toner on i did some eye cream a moisturizer

and also some spf i'm gonna start by using the urban decay eyeshadow primer potion

and i'm gonna pop this all over my eyelids my mom is always raving about this

so i thought it was about time i whip it out and see what's up

i'm gonna take this kylie cosmetics powder foundation

and use this to just mattify my eyelids down really lock

that primer in this is also going to cover the veins

on my eyelids from the lack of sleep i've been getting from using heatless curls i love them

and i'll do a little reveal at the end

when i've brushed it all out but this sleep people can't tell me

that they're comfortable to sleep in i'm going to take this

NARS eyeshadow palette look how gorgeous this color palette is tell

me this is not everything go straight in with this orange shade

and start whacking that all over my eyelids then because I'm feeling a little crazy I use this darker like

toguish brown oh and I'm gonna add this into my outer V add some definition back into my eyes

i'm gonna go in with this like kind of sparkly shape i'm just gonna pop

that in the inner corner over

that orange for the eyeliner portion i'm gonna use this nude stick lip

and cheek that i'm using for my eyes

and i'm gonna pop this all over my lower lash line then to go ahead

and do the wing shape i'm using the wonder skin kalamata

eyeliner oh this one more sharpened yes let's get up close

with personal i'm gonna follow this from the center of my

eye outwards i'm not creating anything drastic with the wing just enough to create some definition

and kind of bring my eye back up then i'm also gonna tight line my eye with this

and pull it into my inner corner

and again we're tight lining with this and bringing that in the inner corner

okay now i'm going to move on to my foundation

and the foundation i'm using is the nars light reflecting foundation

in the shade goby kind of work it into the back of my hand

and start applying this i've got a huda beauty event tomorrow

which i'm so excited for we've got a little dinner to celebrate the launch of the blush palettes

which i actually am going to be using in this video today this is obviously not sponsored

but they are really really lovely i'm gonna go with the nars concealer in vanilla

and i'm gonna cover up some of these blemishes add a tiny bit under my eyes too

because this look is nice and warm and very autumnal i'm using a bronzer

and i'm not Not really contouring until it comes to the

powder side of things i'm going to use this deal foreverglide bronzer this stuff in angel's dreams

and i'm going to start working this in on all my

bronzy points what are those called the three that's kind of

the contour thing isn't it i kind of will apply my bronzer

and contour in the same place run that over my eyes

if you like a sheer coverage it'll be a really lovely bronzer

because it's not got any sort of coverage to it whatsoever

it's surely just a tint this was one of my go-to

bronzes in the summertime bringing it back for autumn i guess

i already know what i'm wearing to the hood of beauty

event tomorrow it's like this like red dress kind of like

a bit off the shoulder gold jewelry hair in a half up half down not like this more like full like

scraped back half up half down blow out let's go on to some blush up and mix these two

put a beauty in strawberries and cream and put a beauty in peach light blend these together

yeah needed like a pink that's like peach what's my best solution i don't want it too orange

because i've already got a lot of orange on my face in this look

so i need a bit of color somewhere i haven't tried this blush combination before

so this is our first time together and i'm

adoring it honestly i'm gonna go back in with the nars concealer

but in this time it's in the shade chantilly the last one was in shade light i'm just gonna pop

that in the center of my face for some brightness

that looks so much better doesn't it i like to use a darker concealer

because i find it covers slightly more

but i do enjoy adding the brightness back in via a light concealer

when i was going through my makeup the other day having a clear out

because i had products in there that were like

probably decades old i rediscovered my cupcake for the beauty powder

which is truly one of my favorites my favorite is the translucent

but i haven't got a translucent right now i saw a little hack on my instagram travels last night

so here's how it goes apparently you put your powder on your puff put it into your skin

so you kind of have like dispersed the product apparently you spritz it with your setting spray and then set it.

Apparently this is going to reduce texture and really lock in that concealer. Are we seeing this?

they were on something pretty sure i saved the video

so i'll have to link the person whose video i saw

because i think he's a god i'm not being funny but

that setting hack is impeccable i'm going in with my kalidos contour palette i'm going to bronze

and then i'm going to contour

oh that's pretty harsh isn't it i'm going to go in

with a bit of my powder foundation just to clean up

any of the like kind of a bit uneven areas of my face as much as i love this product

the packaging is it grinding my gears to use in videos

because it's just

so reflective it does not want to sit well with the

camera this is the blusher palette i'm using this one is

the toasty peach we should mix these two together i think

i'm gonna go on to lips i fancy doing this in

a crazy order i guess for lips i'm using my cum's

naturally lip liner by kylie cosmetics also a little hack i

saw on instagram honestly instagram really be providing the makeup hacks do a little like bird shape

and then a down it makes lining your lips a whole

lot easier i'm gonna add a bit of this also under my eye

now let's go back onto the face i'm gonna use my

color pop highlighter i surely don't know what gonna do

when this runs out i guess order another one i don't

know what shade is am i supposed to not there's just simply nothing better than this well it depends

if this is not your style of halo

which for a lot of people is not

but for me i don't feel the same without it i'm gonna add a bit of that into my inner corners

stunning do i need to get like an adjectives book

or something i need to i need to get some more in my vocabulary speaking of

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.
