hi everyone and welcome to my everyday makeup tutorial good morning

let's start and i hope you like it i start with this nars concealer in shade light 275

here

and i like to just blend with my fingers skincare is a really important part

it will make your makeup blend with your skin as

if you weren't wearing any

so i highly suggest you to work on your skincare routine first

and then your makeup contour

or bronzer this is the west manatelier mini contour in shade truffle

and this is the chanel cream bronzer this one's warmer

and this one's more of a cool tone

i'm going to go with the chanel one i grab this little brush these ones are really useful

and I contour my lip, blend it, contour my nose, blend it

I add depth to my eyes here as well just blend them

so like this you have dimension I'm going to do my cheekbones as well blend with the makeup by mario f1 brush

i think i didn't get the right one the one

that i wanted because i had seen mario use a contour brush

that was kind of like i asked for the f1

because i had understood that was the f1 at sephora

and i got this one

and i don't think it's the same i'm keeping

it really simple the only thing is i can't find my powder anywhere

and i love powder i always say it's one of the most important parts of makeup

and something i used to not pay much attention to

but i realized it was really important is to have your lip liner sharpened properly

that really does make a difference

so i already have my lips a little bit contoured with the bronzer but now we're going to add color

and i also like to whenever i can add depth to my eyes

and just highlight them in a way i will do it so i'm going to blend this a little bit

add depth under my eyes here as well

and in my lips i love velvety lipsticks i don't like glosses that much so for every day i just go

with this chanel rouge liquid velvet in shade 238

something you can do as well is just once you blend your lips like this

and it stays a little bit on your finger you can do this

or even with a little bit of lip liner but for

that your face needs to be hydrated in order for in order for the lip liner to blend

then i just grab a little bit of vaseline i hydrate my lashes

and i do my eyeliner i always go for this mac in shade costa niche

or you already know or the chanel eyeshadow liner in shade rouge noire

let's do both i often do both first a little bit of this warm brown that i love

and i just everything really close to the lash line

or in the waterline

and you blend it like this you don't need a brush it's not necessary

if you want you can use a brush of course but

there we go and you can already tell the difference

and we did barely nothing in my opinion i don't know

if that's a lot for some people and i follow with this one

because it really highlights the color of my eyes

and i really like it also green eyes look really good

with this one my sister has kind of green light brown eyes

and i did her makeup the other day with this liner

and it was just crazy the way it enhanced the green in her eyes crazy

and with this one as it's super blendable i like to do as well a little bit here

close to my lash line and i'll just blend it with my finger

my makeup is by far not perfect or curated or anything i just really enjoy doing this quickly and you know

now we're just going to mascara i have this prada one

and for this i would need a mirror i don't have a mirror i'm using my camera as a mirror

and i don't know how this is going to look okay

i need a close -up mirror i don't know how my makeup is looking also okay

now this is going to look really bad amazing

i'm going to finish my mascara in the bathroom with a proper mirror here

we have it what i'm really missing is just powder

but for powder i use this hourglass brush it's double -sided

which is perfect but for powder i use this one it's just perfect and you go like this

I would set my face like this with powder I'm trying to make the brush

mattify my face by miracle but here especially under the eyes and here

I like it to be matte then it can shine

anyways this is my makeup tutorial my everyday makeup tutorial my super quick

and easy makeup tutorial that i do every day

when i want to do my makeup and

if i want don't want to do my makeup i do the routine

that i posted on the other video

so here with another lighting you can see it better

you can see the eyes are um how do you say a little bit

more intense than what you saw just in front of the window this is how it looks

when you're not right in front of the window and it's why i like it

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.
