Hello everybody, welcome back to my channel.

My name is Jessica and today's video is going to be on this elegant,

chic type of makeup look.

This is also my first get ready with me of 2025,

so if you want to hear some life updates and get ready together,

then just keep watching.

So let's start with sunscreen.

I'm using the Sun Ampoule from Skin 1004.

I recently discovered this one and I really like it under makeup.

It's very watery, similar to my favorite from Isntree,

the Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel.

The makeup we have to use today is kind of limited because as you can see,

I'm back home at my parents' place.

I had to evacuate a few days ago because of the LA fires.

I didn't bring any of my brushes or sponges either,

so hopefully I'll find some.

But how are we feeling about 2025?

I feel like it's already a mess.

I don't know if you guys have been keeping up with LA fires,

but I think this is one of the worst fires LA has ever had.

I'll include some clips that I took when I was evacuating

but throughout the day as I was tracking it like the wind kept on changing.

The reason why these fires spread so fast is

because during this time of year there's something called the Santa Ana winds in Southern California

and it just is so strong so if something catches fire

and the winds start carrying it everywhere it's just like impossible to fight.

Another thing about evacuating is you don't want to leave too late

because they might turn off the power

because a lot of times like the power lines will get blown down

and then obviously that's a risk of a fire too

so a lot of the power companies will cut the power to certain areas in

that case if you have an electric garage like one

that you have to use a remote to open then it's

you're not going to be able to open the garage

so you have to like pack your car and have it outside

and ready to go before we powder i want to try

these new blushes i got recently these are from the brand news.

I grabbed these as I was on my way out

because I just got them in the mail and

so they were like right on my vanity but I really like the formula of these.

Let me see my favorite color is dim-dum I think.

What's really cool about these two is they have a gray

and a white version so you can mix this with the other blushes

and get them darker or lighter

but this one dim-dum is just a perfect shade on its own so I'm gonna apply that to my cheeks.

I was planning on at first like leaving packing up my car

and then leaving it outside of the garage just for like a day

or so just to see

if like the evacuation order ended up turning into a red zone

which is like mandatory evacuation

but i saw a lot of things about people's cars getting stolen

or broken into when they did

that there's been such a major problem with the looters in la during this whole fire situation

which is already sad because a lot of people are losing everything like all the things

that they value the most are in their cars

and they're just everything's getting stolen

so that's why i just left as soon as it turned

yellow in my area i was like panicking as i was

packing i did not bring everything i would have liked to i wanted to bring my um fenty matchsticks

but i don't have it

so i'm gonna use this one from colorgram instead this one's also really good

but i like the fenty one because it's a little bit more cool toned

and it's more dark and then on the other side is brush

so I'm gonna brush

that out you know I realized as I was packing I was like there's

so many things I want to bring with me like I

know a lot of stories in the news right now where people feel like they're gonna be home soon anyway

so they're like oh I'm not gonna take anything

and then they ended up losing everything right so I was like

if I can save anything I will

but after I left I realized what a privilege it is to even have

so many things that I value to the point that that I would pack up my entire car.

Even though it was scary in the moment,

it made me feel very grateful this is actually working pretty

well as a powder puff oh my gosh my skin looks

so smooth i changed up my skincare routine recently

because something i learned um in the past few years is

as you get older you want to integrate more moisture into

your skincare routine right like you're getting more fine lines

and that's something that i have noticed even in just the past year is i've been been getting

so many like not that I mind it but it's just like

when I do my makeup because I'm like looking

so closely I see a lot of fine lines under my eyes where they weren't there before.

Nowadays I try to use eye cream at night

and I've started using more collagen stuff so lately I've been using this collagen wrap mask at night and it's really good.

I use it three times a week.

I didn't realize you could see my evacuation suitcase so I just moved it but I'm gonna do eyeshadow next.

This is the Flower Nose Contour Palette in the shade number two.

It's so pretty.

Let me show you the engravings.

I'm going to take these two mixed together.

Like really smoke it out here.

And then using that dark brown shade slightly on the outer corner.

And then also the inner corner.

Next, I'm going to do eyeliner.

So I'm starting with my Revlon So Fierce Vinyl Eyeliner.

One of my main things I want to focus on this year is actually my hair health.

As you guys know, I bleached my hair last year

and I'm not even gonna lie and say

100

that nobody warned me about it because literally every single person told me do not do it.

101

It's gonna make your hair feel so dry.

102

I can definitely feel the difference,

103

you know, like it's just not as silky as it used to feel.

104

So I really want to focus on growing my hair out.

105

I'm gonna fill in the gaps.

106

I don't have a smaller brush,

107

so I'm just gonna have to be very careful with this one.

108

Dipping it into this black shade and then smoking out the liner.

109

and then I'm going to go over with the brown milky chocolate liner just above it to emphasize the smokiness

110

and we're also going to bring that down on the bottom.

111

I slept late last night so look how crazy my eyelids are.

112

We're going to use eyelet tape.

113

I brought these with me.

114

These are from Floorty.

115

It's my favorite eyelet tape.

116

See, now it's even.

117

I'm using my brow pencil from Floris's.

118

I love this so much,

119

but the only complaint I have about it is that the caps fall off so easily.

120

Like you can see, I'm not even applying much pressure to open this and it just falls off.

121

Just lay down the shape of the brows and then brush up the hairs.

122

I'm going to take my Unleashia brow gel.

123

This is the best for that clean girl brow look.

124

I feel like it makes you look so chic.

125

Comb it through like this

126

and then they have a tool to like press down your brows

127

but I still like doing it with my fingers so I'll just go in like this,

128

press it down flatly against the skin

129

and then once all the hairs are in place open up this end and look there's the brush and the comb.

130

I'll use the comb to push down the brow hairs

131

and neatly put them in place now you can see the difference it just gives you you know like

132

that wet brow look

133

that I really like I had this for like six months before I realized where this was

134

so if you have this brow gel just know they have literally the comb and the brush in here

135

okay back to the eyes let's finish up the lashes I'm

136

using my reefer eyelash curler it's slightly flatter than the Shiseido one I usually use,

137

so it gets so close.

138

And then I'm going to be using my Clio Superproof Mascara Long Curling.

139

It doesn't need to be too long because I'm going to apply falsies anyway.

140

And oh my gosh, I have a new way of applying my individual falsies

141

that is

142

so good i need to share it let me actually also

143

apply this to the lower lashes i actually don't like using this mascara for the lower lashes as much

144

because i prefer like using a heavier mascara a lot of

145

american mascaras are actually really good for the lower lash line

146

because they're heavier than the asian ones so they'll drag these lower lashes down

147

and make them look super long you know let me try see if i have one this is the ysl mascara

148

super thick right super thick wand

149

which is usually not good for your lashes up here

150

that you want to keep curled and high up but let me show you with the lower lashes

151

look at this difference the lashes just look so long and like separated okay let's do this side

152

Now for my lash hack

153

These are the lashes I've been using They are the glue-free mouse false eyelashes I got them on YesStyle As always,

154

I'll link everything in the description box But this is like the press-on type of lashes

155

So they already have the glue attached to the band

156

So you don't need any glue

157

But lately what I've been doing is I apply it on top

158

So like right here Press it into the skin And then leave it you can see is basically flat against my skin.

159

We're just going to leave it like that for now.

160

So next one, apply it flat against the skin.

161

You see what I'm doing, right?

162

And then third one, same thing like that.

163

And then taking the other side of the tweezer,

164

I'm going to press them in and then put the tweezer behind the lashes and push them down slightly.

165

This just keeps them more curled and flared looking

166

when you apply them under the lash sometimes throughout the day The lashes get too heavy

167

and then it starts dragging down and not looking as nice as

168

when you freshly apply it I think this just looks so pretty.

169

So let's repeat on this eye Two third one just notice I have some gaps in this liner still

170

so i'm going to fill them in You have to push these down

171

because otherwise they're going to like press into your skin

172

So push them down slightly And now look at the lashes Don't they look so pretty this way?

173

I'm going to use the Laura Mercier blush in the shade

174

Chai I think this is one of the best neutral blushes If you have neutral undertones,

175

please try it I think this will add the perfect amount of warmth

176

Let's do nose contour next I don't think this is cool tone enough

177

So I'm going to be using my KVD Taupe contour

178

I don't like using this much anymore because I know it was discontinued this specific shade

179

but I haven't been able to find a shade

180

that like can compare to this one but also since it is 2025

181

there's something I wanted to update you guys on a lot of you have noticed that I haven't been

182

uploading as much especially about my life and the reason for that is last year actually it started before last year,

183

I was dealing with a stalking situation.

184

It was something that really affected my mental health for most of the year

185

and it made me really scared to post about anything.

186

And just a few months ago,

187

I actually found out who had been behind it all and finally realizing who it was and their motive.

188

It was a bittersweet thing,

189

you know, like kind of liberating but also kind of upsetting because then you're like,

190

why did you do that to me?

191

And so like I'm a lot happier now honestly,

192

but I'm still trying to overcome this like weird posting anxiety I've developed where it's like overthinking everything.

193

For lips, I'm going to be using this Makeup Forever liner again.

194

It's the same one I used for the eyeliner,

195

but I'm just gonna use it to contour the lips.

196

One thing I am really sad about though is

197

that I wasn't able to upload a lot of videos I was excited about

198

because I let that fear control me for so long and

199

so I think I'm going to upload those travel vlogs anyway

200

and I hope you guys enjoy them anyway and actually on that note,

201

I wanted to thank you guys for sticking with me

202

and supporting me I know I haven't been uploading as much and you know,

203

a big part of that was

204

that posting anxiety I know it's stupid to hear it out loud like she has anxiety about posting

205

But I really didn't feel like I could post anything unless it was like super professional, clean content.

206

And to everybody who left a kind comment or DM over the past year,

207

even though you guys didn't know what I was going through behind the scenes,

208

I, those words meant so much to me in the weakest moments where I almost wanted to give up, you know?

209

So I wanted to just thank everybody who's continued supporting me this past year.

210

Let's apply this new lipstick.

211

Ooh, that is super gray.

212

Oh my God.

213

I'm gonna remove that and then I'm gonna use a lip tint instead.

214

Yes, this is the color.

215

Let's do a little bit more lip contour.

216

A little bit more of DimDum,

217

just on the outer edge of the lips.

218

Perfect use this NARS bronzer to try to make everything a

219

little bit warmer oh my god no no I didn't want it

220

that warm

221

because I just have to even it out I'm just gonna

222

use this like hard cookie blusher another thing I've decided this

223

year is I think I'm gonna stop getting lip filler

224

when you're constantly getting lip filler it's really easy to have that like lip filler blindness who knows

225

Maybe I'll get it done in five years or something,

226

but I Am gonna take a pause on the lip filler.

227

So I'm just gonna apply some fake moles.

228

I Think moles are so pretty.

229

I also wanted to show you guys how I style my hair lately.

230

So I Split it in half and then starting from this inner section in the back starting from this section

231

And then Like this Curl it out to make an s-shaped curl if the ends aren't curled you can just

232

Curl them again and you want it to be a very loose wave

233

So leave it in the back and then take the next intersection and do the same thing

234

And then once you reach like the middle section,

235

we're just gonna do a C curl so Like this and then pull up and down like that.

236

C-curl.

237

This depends on your haircut too,

238

like the more layers the better this looks.

239

This is the result, so before it's like completely flat and then after you can see all the layers

240

separated and like mixing together.

241

It just looks so much more clean and polished.

242

So I'm gonna do the other side and I'll be right back.

243

There's one more step for the hair.

244

I'm gonna take this this like chunk from the other side and pull it to this side,

245

brush it out.

246

And that just adds like the subtle poof of volume.

247

And this is the complete look.

248

Thank you so much for watching.

249

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.
