Hi Vogue!
2
It's Ariana Grande and I am here today to walk you through some of my skin prep and
3
Do a hopefully cute makeup look.
4
I'm gonna start with the Sarah Ford BioCell Oxygen Serum.
5
Sarah's been doing my skin for a couple of years now.
6
She really transformed you the texture of my skin.
7
It's so soft and smooth and I still have
8
breakouts all the time when I'm using a lot of makeup on sets
9
but it keeps my skin as clear as possible and non -reactive as possible so I'm Very obsessed.
10
Next I'm going to use La Mer moisturizer and I'm going to mix it with Some SPF.
11
Growing up in Florida, I spent a lot of time in the sun.
12
I think that's probably where some of my discoloration and my freckles and everything comes from.
13
It's important to protect your skin as much as possible when you're using so much makeup.
14
Clearly I wear a lot of makeup.
15
I'm sure everyone's gonna be like, "Who?" Next I'm going to use, REM Beauty Under Eye Cooling Balm.
16
This is one of my favorite products we have.
17
This has like my favorite texture. in the world.
18
It's super cool.
19
you and plumping so it fills out any little fine lines.
20
and creates like Such a smooth base for Your makeup.
21
I'm also gonna use these to say down I patches
22
Which way are they supposed to go world because I do them this way I But I have to be wrong.
23
At like four in the morning, I'm always with my headphones, doing my meditation in the car and then I get ready for a day on set.
24
So they've been on for like a good four hours now, so I'm gonna take these off.
25
Now I'm gonna get into my makeup.
26
The first thing I'm going to use is our brand new ARIAM Beauty Sweetener Foundation.
27
I'm using the shade Light 8NW.
28
I'm gonna use like a pump and a half.
29
Next, I'm gonna use Sweetener Concealer.
30
My shade is Light 4G and I'm gonna get ready to set with This Anastasia vanilla setting powder.
31
I like to set pretty quickly after I apply.
32
I just try to make sure that nothing could possibly Move.
33
you
34
I'm gonna go a little bit out of order
35
and start to fill in my eyebrows because I'm sure they're probably driving you crazy too.
36
I'm currently like half Glinda.
37
I've been bleaching my eyebrows for a year now and I definitely need to touch them up.
38
I'm gonna fill them in with this MAC eyebrow styler in the shade Fling.
39
I like to make the ends really short and kind of
40
shave them and ruin them and then draw the shape I like which is more of a like kind of straight
41
and lifted Audrey Hepburn -ish shaped brow, So I'm gonna try to do that.
42
you Bye.
43
Bye.
44
i kind of have eyebrows now i don't know what i'm
45
gonna do next i feel like i'm going in a strange order today but
46
I'm just gonna go with the flow and we'll figure it out together.
47
I started doing family theater and community theater in Boca Tone, Florida, which is crazy, when I was like eight years old
48
and I always associated each character I played with a different makeup kit.
49
So when I was Annie, I remember using a different
50
blush or a different like even though I was eight
51
and there was so minimal makeup that was always a really fun thing to me
52
and then in music i don't know like a different look for each song
53
and video it became such an important piece of the puzzle and it's such an important part of
54
being an artist and of storytelling and also from watching drag.
55
I love drag so much.
56
It is so inspiring to me.
57
When I was on Broadway, doing 13.
58
I used to go afterwards to like see the queens and sometimes I would end up singing
59
and that was just a really joyous
60
and important part of my life i'm going to use this contour it says neria too
61
because i stole this from my makeup artist
62
I have a massive forehead to begin with and it's my hairline is sliding back more and more every day.
63
So I have to contour it more and more as time goes on.
64
Bye.
65
Bye.
66
I'm gonna do my little button nose trick that I like.
67
you And then I'm going to highlight using our REM Beauty Miss Mercury highlight.
68
I'm not flipping you off, but maybe.
69
You know?
70
I was always fascinated by Andre Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe because you could tell
71
that they were doing these makeup tricks before anyone really had
72
it figured out yet you look at like audrey's gorgeous brows
73
that she drew and the way she did her lipstick like slightly like
74
over here and then Marilyn had her own tricks it's just
75
and she I think she used to use vaseline as highlight back then It's just so cool.
76
It's always fascinated me.
77
I love, I've always loved makeup.
78
I don't know what I am doing.
79
This is the most discombobulated makeup video on Vogue's channel.
80
I'm going to do Bobbi Brown.
81
I'm going to take this pink that is over here, this that one and just kind of - My whole lid basically,
82
but also my whole face.
83
One of my favorite things to do is to create like a 60s looking cat eye.
84
And I'm gonna use our multi -use eye stick in Intergalactic.
85
I'm really concerned about making sure you guys are seeing everything and in the process of doing so.
86
I can't see a goddamn thing I'm doing.
87
Bye.
88
I'm just coloring like a four -year -old, but it will come together, trust me.
89
My next step is gonna be blush, and I'm gonna use Dior Rosy Glow.
90
Something I do with my blush
91
that also makes no sense is I like go in my eyebrows and my this and kind of everywhere.
92
Something else that I fell in love with recently is
93
doing like a shadowy version of a cat eye instead of a liquid line.
94
Back to the Bobbi Brown.
95
I'm gonna mix that guy and this one.
96
Oh my god, I'm allowed to use this.
97
I just found out.
98
We have hope.
99
I feel like my relationship to beauty has changed so much over the years,
100
especially because I started... So,
101
young, you know, being exposed to so many voices at a young age and especially when people have like
102
things to say about your appearance and stuff at a young age,
103
it's like really hard to know what's worth hearing or not but you know when you're 17 you don't really know
104
You don't know that yet?
105
I...
106
Over the years, used makeup as a disguise
107
or as something to hide behind and more and more and more hair more and more thick or the eyeliner,
108
the whatever, you know, and that can be so beautiful at times and I still, I still do have love for it.
109
I'm doing mascara.
110
And appreciation for it, But I think As I get older, I don't love that being the intention behind it anymore.
111
I think of it as self -expression now and accentuating what is here.
112
Our relationships to beauty are so personal.
113
Like we're here talking about beauty secrets.
114
Isn't the secret that we all just want to feel our best and Thank you and be loved.
115
Full transparency as a beauty person, as I do my lips.
116
I've had a ton of lip filler over the years and Botox.
117
I stopped in 2018 because I just felt so Too much.
118
- Yeah.
119
I just felt like hiding, you know?
120
Thank you.
121
Didn't expect to get emotional.
122
Yeah.
123
Bye.
124
Take 300.
125
No, for a long time beauty was about hiding for me And now I feel like maybe it's not.
126
Since I stopped getting fillers and Botox and maybe I'll start again one day.
127
I don't know.
128
To each their own.
129
Whatever makes you feel beautiful.
130
I do support.
131
I know for me, I was just like, oh, I want to see my well -earned - Okay.
132
cry lines and smile lines.
133
I hope my smile lines get deeper and deeper and I laugh more and more and I just think
134
aging is like such a it can be such a beautiful thing.
135
now might i get a facelift in 10 years? might, yeah but these are just thoughts that i feel like
136
we should be able to discuss if we're sitting here talking about beauty secrets.
137
Fuck it, let's lay it all out there.
138
I'm going to go ahead and put it in the middle of the bag.
139
Juicy tubes.
140
Something I do, and that's insane, but I use my lip stain and then I put gloss
141
and then I wipe it off so it looks like I actually have pigment in my lips, which I don't.
142
I'm gonna use pink razor instead.
143
It's a little more fair.
144
Maud Vanilla, my favorite.
145
Love it so-- I actually do love it so much.
146
fragrance is
147
so important to me it's one of my favorite things to
148
work on I saw Hailey Bieber use my product in her video and I brought hers to mine because I
149
I love this lip mask, it's so good This is the watermelon, but I think the Bertha cake is my favorite.
150
I'm gonna make this line a little heavier, 'cause I know that's what the children want.
151
When I did Drag Race, Rue came out to come sit at the
152
the judging panel she was like "miss grande i love your never -ending stream of PR packages that are constantly arriving.
153
And I was like, oh my God, I'm so sorry.
154
Do you want it to end?
155
It can end if you want it to.
156
And he was like, no, I really mean it.
157
I love it.
158
created the perfect chocolate brown eye pencil.
159
And I was like, "Oh, I...
160
I can and will die now. That was...
161
the best moment of my makeup career so far.
162
I'm gonna set with Fenty settings spray, they don't sell this anymore.
163
I'm going to go ahead and do it. That is it.
164
I think we did a pretty and pink Cat eye moment today.
165
We had a little
166
therapy session in the middle talked about beauty inside and out

- Break it down: Watch small segments of the video, pausing after each sentence to repeat what you hear. This will help you focus on improving your English pronunciation and speaking rhythm.
- Listen for emotion: Pay attention to how Ariana expresses enthusiasm and warmth in her voice. Practice conveying similar emotions while you speak to enhance your own delivery.
- Repetition is key: Don’t hesitate to watch the video several times. Each repetition will strengthen your speaking skills and help solidify new vocabulary in your memory, making this an effective English speaking practice.
- Use subtitles: If available, turn on English subtitles to help you connect the spoken words with their written forms, reinforcing your learning.
By incorporating these tips, you'll find yourself not only improving your English speaking abilities but also enjoying the process of learning English with YouTube content that interests you!

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.
