1
Good morning guys, it's Syd and welcome back.
2
Look at my setup right now.
3
This is like such a girl moment.
4
I love being a girl.
5
I'm so excited for today's video because I'm going to be recreating Hailey Bieber's Vogue makeup look.
6
I feel like everyone has a comfort video and for me it's these.
7
There's something about the Vogue makeup videos that are just so therapeutic and I love Hailey.
8
I love how she does her makeup.
9
I actually went to Sephora and I got some of the products
10
that she uses so I'm really going to try my best to emulate her routine and I'm so excited.
11
Wow, I wonder what if I look like Hailey Bieber at the end of this video.
12
I'm going to start with this Environ moisturizing toner.
13
I love any toner that is great for hydration.
14
I don't have her exact toner, so I'm gonna be using this one.
15
This is the Laneige toner.
16
I love this one because it's hydrating and milky, kind of like the one that she was talking about.
17
What I thought was really interesting is
18
that she puts it on with her hands and I usually put on toner with like a cotton round.
19
So let's see how this goes.
20
I think what I love the most about Hailey's makeup is
21
that she focuses on the skincare as the base and then
22
that kind of elevates her makeup look
23
and gives her a good prep barrier restore cream just specifically we call our peptide powerhouse i love peptides
24
because they are moisturizing the skin leaving it plump and dewy
25
and glowy i have this other product instead of her barrier restore cream
26
that i'm going to use this is from road
27
and this is her glazing milk i'm going to go back
28
with the peptide glazing fluid just do one pump i'm going to tap it under my eyes she uses
29
that same moisturizer under her eyes i'm gonna use this one this is the tower 428 barrier recovery cream,
30
which I feel like is pretty similar I'm gonna go on top of
31
that with the dew forever eye mask I went to two different sephoras to try to find that eye mask, but they didn't have it.
32
So I'm just gonna use this one.
33
This is the sephora de-puffing eye mask.
34
Wow, this smells like cucumber I feel like my eyes actually look less dark after that.
35
Do you guys think that they do?
36
Or that's the placebo effect.
37
Now's when the real fun begins with the makeup.
38
I love glowy foundation.
39
I love something that feels like it's just enhancing the skin.
40
I love the Chanel Vital Lumiere.
41
I like to take one pump of the peptide glazing fluid and just mix it.
42
So I couldn't find the Chanel foundation.
43
I promise I have products that she uses later in the video.
44
I'm going with this one
45
because she said she likes a really light skin tint that's glowy
46
and this is such a comfortable foundation it doesn't feel heavy
47
it doesn't even look like you're wearing foundation i've actually been doing her little technique of mixing moisturizer
48
and with the foundation for a long time like since i
49
was in high school i've been doing this you just take a little bit of moisturizer mix it in
50
so it's even lighter coverage
51
This is the Kosas concealer I'm gonna try to apply this concealer exactly where she applies it
52
because she has a very strategic Placement to be honest when I put on concealer.
53
I kind of just I just throw it on okay She puts it on her inner corners like this
54
Looks like cat whiskers.
55
Oh wait, she put a couple dots here I don't think I addressed this but I'm literally in my shower.
56
That's my shower head There's one more spot
57
that I want to put a little bit of concealer It gives you
58
that like lifted a little bit more sculpted look Okay, i've never done this before.
59
Hopefully I don't mess this up.
60
Okay
61
I don't know if I just did that wrong
62
but I don't think I really noticed the difference this is the Tom Ford shade
63
and illuminate I've been using this for years that's how much
64
I love it I don't like to do like very harsh
65
cuts with contour we're introducing our first new product she emphasized how much she loved this Tom Ford shade
66
and illuminate palette she uses it two times in this video
67
so the first time is obviously with this contour
68
so instead of heavily contouring it in it looks like she
69
uses more of a fluffy brush to kind of just warm up her face
70
i'm scared for some reason this is
71
so good you guys like i actually understand why she loves it
72
so much looks like you just got sun it doesn't look like you actually bronzer on your face the base
73
that i'm using for the eye is REM Beauty.
74
This is Ariana Grande's brand.
75
I love this eye product.
76
A little goes a long way.
77
So I did some investigating, just screenshotting and zooming in.
78
And I'm pretty sure that this is the shade that she used.
79
It's BRB.
80
And I know that she used a matte shade.
81
So that helped eliminate a lot of options.
82
And it looked just like this one.
83
So I'm so happy.
84
I'm pretty sure this is exactly what she used.
85
I used to wear a shade like this from the Tartland and Bloom palette.
86
It was this one shade.
87
I would buy that palette just for that shade and it looked so similar to this.
88
This is kind of making me nostalgic.
89
This is the Kylie Cosmetics Stormy palette.
90
She doesn't make it anymore.
91
This is the color Perfect Storm.
92
Okay, I'm looking at the shade
93
And of this whole palette i would say it's almost like a mix of this shade cocoa
94
and the nude shade
95
so i'm gonna mix these two together i'm an artist she
96
uses a good slanted brush to really like get in her waterline
97
I always love a little razzle dazzle a little sparkle especially
98
if it's like date night more of an occasion this one right here
99
okay she finishes it off with a light shimmery color so I'm gonna put on a mix of these two
100
shimmery shades I love how she just puts it on with her fingers so Ooh,
101
this is so pigmented I forgot to mention
102
that this makeup video is specifically a date night makeup
103
that she does
104
So I can see why she wanted to add some sparkles
105
This is the Anastasia clear eyebrow gel I think what surprises me the most about her makeup is
106
that she doesn't fill in her eyebrows Mainly because i'm just
107
so used to that like I
108
so badly want to get my brow pencil right now
109
and just fill them in But i'm gonna resist the urge
110
and she brushes them pretty high up I've been trying to like grow out my eyebrows recently
111
which is why It looks like kind of crazy.
112
My husband actually has like 10 times longer lashes than I do and I'm potentially a little bit jealous about it.
113
That's so true Why do you guys have like the longest eyelashes?
114
I got an eyelash lift pretty recently and it's starting to kind of fade down now.
115
So that's why I did curl my eyelashes, but it was the best thing I've ever done.
116
Like I didn't have to wear mascara for a whole month.
117
The mascara I'm going to use is the MAC Extended Play Giga Black Lash.
118
Okay, then she goes in with mascara.
119
So I'm going to use this one.
120
This is the NARS mascara.
121
I've never tried this, so I'm actually excited to try this with you guys.
122
I'm trying so hard to not get mascara on my eyelid after I just did all that eyeshadow.
123
Wow, I actually love this mascara, by the way.
124
I'm going to be adding this to my everyday makeup bag.
125
That's when you know it's a good product.
126
I've talked about this Makeup Forever palette before.
127
I really love it.
128
I'm going to use this color right here.
129
So it looks like next haley goes in with some liquid blush I don't have that exact palette, but I do have this say liquid blush
130
that looks very similar in shade What I noticed is she
131
tends to put the blush on the upper parts of her cheekbone.
132
So i'm going to try to Do that She does take another powder blush
133
and put it on top of this
134
So I'm just gonna take a little bit more of this blush
135
and add it because it seems like she likes a pretty rosy face.
136
I'm going to go back with the Tom Ford shade and illuminate palette and I'm going to put the highlighter on.
137
I'm so excited to go back to this palette again
138
and it looks like she just uses her finger again
139
so absolutely love this makeup forever multi-use lip eye
140
wherever pencil i really love my natural lip color
141
so i feel like anytime i can find products that feel like they enhance it i definitely gravitate towards
142
guys i feel guilty i used this already i went to spora
143
and i got home and i was so impatient
144
that i just like put it on i didn't even think i do really like this
145
and she basically just says that she slightly overlines her lips
146
and what's cool about this pencil is that you can use it anywhere on your face.
147
So for eyeshadow, for your lips, it's super versatile.
148
I'm gonna go in with the Rode Peptide Lip Treatment.
149
The only proper way to complete this lip combo is Haley Bieber's Lip Peptide Treatment.
150
So I'm gonna use this one.
151
And the last thing I'm gonna do is a little bit of powder.
152
This is the Kosas Cloud Set Powder.
153
I I like to just go in the areas where I feel like I need to kind of lock in the makeup.
154
So she waits till the very end to put on setting powder.
155
I find it hard to find a good setting powder that doesn't look like powder on your skin.
156
She uses this one.
157
This is the Kosas Cloud Set Powder.
158
So I picked it up at Sephora.
159
And she just takes a small brush and applies it to her under eyes and like nose area.
160
So far, I really like it because it's smoothed my pores, which is a bonus.
161
This is the final look.
162
It kind of reminds me of like the Victoria's Secret model bronzed makeup that they sometimes wear.
163
I'm trying to decide what my top two favorite products from this video are.
164
I would say the lip liner or the artist color pencil by Makeup Forever.
165
And then my number two is this Ram Beauty eyeshadow.
166
Anyways, thank you guys so much for watching.
167
Let me know if you guys want me to recreate another celebrities vogue makeup
168
because I love trying to emulate the steps of these celebrities
169

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.
