Today I'm gonna do my big sister's makeup and we've been waiting for this day.

We've been trying to do this for years.

For definitely three years at this point.

I've always wanted to do Kim's makeup.

We wanted to show you guys and I wanted to capture this on camera.

Had no idea how it was gonna turn out.

I killed this so I can't wait for you guys to watch this because I'm really happy with my work.

I am giving you the glam that I do every day.

Again, I'm not your average makeup artist.

I'm definitely...

Yeah, you're Kylie Jenner.

Back in the day when I used to live at my mom's house, I would always watch Kylie get ready.

But she was young.

This is like her punk turquoise hair phase.

Kim is the one you call when some shit is going down.

And you need to...

Think logically.

Figure out how to handle it.

Yes.

How we can stop it.

In a calm manner.

You have great advice.

Like world is coming to an end advice.

Very good advice.

Wasn't that so funny?

And I love your fridge updates.

Yeah.

I was just posing for a pic and those are my drink fridges.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so...

Gotta have a fridge for everything, I mean.

Yeah.

And so then when they started to say that I have nothing in my food and like starving my kids, That's when I was like,

oh hell no. Let me show you my real fridge, people.

Who's yours?

I think I know. Who?

Taylor Lautner?

Taylor Lautner was like Sharkboy.

Yeah.

And he was so cute.

Yeah.

Mine was Johnny Depp.

Oh, okay.

Everything is like super planned out.

I'm really, really organized.

I think that's the key to just being successful, honestly, is being organized.

It's hard.

It's a lot of work, but you can totally do it.

Do you see yourself having four kids?

I see myself for sure having four kids.

I just don't know when.

I don't have a timeline to this, and I don't know if I'm going to have four kids tomorrow,

if I'm going to have four kids in like seven years.

Yeah.

How's it looking?

Beautiful.

It's beautiful.

Good.

Like really good.

Like you're going to be calling me, paying me probably after this.

What?

My favorite thing about Stormy is honestly when she says yes.

Like it's just so clear and cute.

You ate the candy?

Yeah.

I just love that I can bribe her with anything if I say that I have

Poppy or one troll coming.

What I love the most about Chicago, which is really funny actually, is she loves to take pictures.

And Stormi does not.

Stormi's, no mommy, no pictures.

And Chicago will ask me, come up to you, take a picture, picture.

And she'll pose a song.

And I'm like, you want me to take a picture of you?

I'm like, you're the cutest thing ever.

So I'm using the KKW contour sticks in shade medium.

I like that they come in this new little situation.

Um, North took me like a week to name her.

Not a week, like four or five days, but...

I actually got it from Jay Leno, who made that as a joke.

And you liked it?

I was like, no way, I would never name my daughter that.

Like, I said that on his show.

Everyone was coming up to me like, it's such a cool name, you should really think about it and then Pharrell had like all these meanings.

Let's consider it.

It's so hurt.

So you would never think, I mean like.

They really become the name that you name them.

It's so crazy, they do.

Stormy's such a Stormy.

Yeah.

Such a Stormy.

Saint, I couldn't think of anything either.

And we got books, we were sitting in there.

And a Saint is a Saint.

It just came.

He's such a Saint.

Kanye came up with Saint.

And then Chicago took me like two weeks.

And Sam, you named him.

100

I know.

101

Well, you thought of it and I vouched for it.

102

Yeah.

103

Okay, who do you think mom likes better?

104

I think she likes you better.

105

I think you're her OG, you know?

106

Yeah.

107

But the reason I think she likes you better is because you have - She definitely likes us the same, but if we're being funny.

108

No, I think, here's the thing.

109

Like, from the outside - I do, I treat her like, she's like me.

110

And I treat her like the queen of the world.

111

It like truly is just that you treat her the most amazing.

112

There's like one blotch here, but it's from the spray tan.

113

The electric always there.

114

Oh, okay.

115

Oh, no. Wouldn't that be legendary if I did?

116

I'm so mad at myself for giving away my first car.

117

What was your first car?

118

Mom's old G -Wagon.

119

Oh my god, I remember I crashed that car.

120

Stop.

121

Yeah, bad.

122

Damn.

123

It isn't it crazy to think that I'll be in your 30s and I'll be in my 50s?

124

Stop.

125

Isn't that insane?

126

I didn't even think about that.

127

Wait, will that be?

128

Mmm, your 50s.

129

Yeah, I mean I'm not even 40 yet, so.

130

Okay, sorry.

131

Sorry.

132

What do people not know about me?

133

Probably that I'm actually like really weird.

134

No, I think they know that.

135

Oh.

136

I was gonna say that you like to sing, but people like know that now.

137

No, no, no. See, this is what people don't understand is I've always sung everything.

138

Yeah.

139

Like I sing talk ever since I was like younger.

140

Yeah.

141

And like I'll answer the phone and just be like, hello.

142

Oh. So.

143

That rise and shine thing was really like.

144

That was so funny.

145

Rise and shine.

146

And now every time I sing, people are like, there'll never be another rise and shine.

147

I'm like, leave me alone, I always sing.

148

Yeah.

149

What's your favorite memory of you and Kylie, and also the funniest memory?

150

I mean, I just always have this vision of Kylie being so spunky, like when you were little,

151

just like always did whatever you wanted to do.

152

Kylie used to love to dance like Shakira.

153

And I was like blown away

154

that she can like move her stomach like Shakira did in that song and I videotaped it.

155

I'm actually not a bad dancer.

156

People think, I just do not like to dance in public.

157

Yeah.

158

So these are your new little shadow.

159

Celestial Skies, five pan palettes.

160

Oh shit.

161

These come out January 24th?

162

Yes.

163

January 24th, so I'm gonna use this one.

164

Do they have names?

165

Which one's this one?

166

Bronze Heaven?

167

Yep.

168

And I'm gonna use this matte shade in here.

169

I actually used it today on me getting ready, and it's a really pretty crease shade.

170

I think that people don't know that I'm really good at sports, probably.

171

It was on the boys football team.

172

Only flag until they started tackling everybody, and then I was like, I'm outta here.

173

I love track.

174

I set the record for my school in the high jump.

175

I would be a makeup artist if I wasn't Kylie Jenner.

176

You would, for real? For real.

177

I would really love it.

178

Oh, well, I'm not good at it, so I can pay you.

179

Okay.

180

You can come over and do it, like, once a month.

181

Okay.

182

I'm really expensive, so...

183

You are?

184

I mean this beat, like how are you so impressed right now?

185

Okay, I'm gonna try Kylie's trick of brown mascara on the bottom.

186

What an interesting trick.

187

I don't think I'll like it.

188

So I use the curled part?

189

I mean, you know, like it just kind of shapes your situation.

190

Just do that.

191

My dad used to always walk by me and I would be putting mascara on and he'd be like,

192

Kimberly, can you close your mouth when you put your mascara on?

193

He's like, I bet there's two things you can't do in life.

194

And I was like, what?

195

And he would be like, close your mouth when you put mascara on and walk by a mirror without looking in it.

196

I love a bright inner corner, so I like to spray.

197

Mm -hmm.

198

That's a new one.

199

Why the is this not working?

200

Hold on.

213

Oh, lipstick duo.

214

215

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.
