if you don't know how to do your makeup don't worry class is in session this is makeup 101

and this video i'm going to be showing you how to do your makeup step by step as a beginner

if you think you're bad at makeup you are bad

so you're gonna watch and see how you're supposed to do it the right way

and when i break it down to you it's gonna look a lot easier

but makeup is still a little bit complicated

so you're gonna have to see what works with your skin

and what works with your budget as well i'm gonna be going over my favorite products

and my tips and tricks so your makeup can look like this let's get into the video

lashes are already on i use clusters and

if y 'all want to see how i put them on let me know listen up skin prep is everything

if you haven't seen any of my skincare videos

i would suggest to pause this one go watch one

then come back to this video in the winter

i like to double up on the moisturizer i go with a lotion first then a heavier moisturizer

because makeup will dry out my face real bad

if i don't do this first step is brows i like using anastasia wax um i also use elf gel

but this leaves white residue after a couple hours this doesn't

and this is really good for when if you have like very thick eyebrows like mine

so this is how i do my brows

so they don't really move whatsoever okay you gotta really pay attention right

now i literally brush them all the way the opposite side like this

just like fluff them out i assure you i've never seen anybody do it like this

but when i discovered this trick my brow game changed so

when i make sure they're fully coated right they are fully saturated i go

and i brush them where i want them basically to go just

this side outwards you see what i'm talking about my eyebrows are so

thick and they need cutting but uh i'm too lazy and

when i'm done i just take my spoolie the other side

and then brush everything down and now look at the difference

i swear to you these brows won't move for hours immediately after

i'm done with my brows i go with a concealer

so you want to just add a little bit of hair in the inner corner

and then add a little bit here just for like more of a lift i add to the smile lines and forehead

i usually wait just like for kind of like couple seconds for it to dry

and then this is listen up this is the most important thing

i do not go with a concealer brush none of

that right because my skin doesn't really absorb products for whatever reason

so i go with a powder puff and gently i just dab

and you don't want to really like dab it really aggressively.

You just want to do it gently

because I don't want really to reapply the product over and over again.

I just like when I apply a little bit of it and make sure that I'm getting every ounce.

When it comes to concealer it's just like depends on how much you want to kind of cover.

Look at this already no lines no streaks

now it is time for foundation i like my skin to look like skin i don't like covering it too much

if you want to find your foundation shade try matching

it with your neck not your face this is how i found my shade

and i i can't really find my shade in any other brand but this one i like to use my um

like a foundation color that matches my skin because like i don't like my neck and my

face to look separated like most of the time i've people do ask me like are you really wearing makeup

or is this really your skin

i go over the foundation with like a brush over my under eye just to kind of even everything out

now it's time for cream blush i like to make my blush look a little bit more natural um

so i go with like a baby pink a cooler shade on literally the cheekbones

and then i go with like a warm pink

so the thing about makeup right you need to layer

if you want your makeup to not look flat um

and just like from 2016 horror movie you need to layer your makeup

so like with blush I don't really just use one blush right

I like using two I like layering my color

and both my cream my both my favorite cream blushes for now are say in shade baby

and this is in shade lady baby

and lady this is a brush I use for my um blush

so this is how I like blending my blush

i literally just go over i just blend it on my cheekbone

i don't really go swipe it right on left i literally just dab where i want it to stay

and to set everything in place you need a loose powder i don't care

if you really don't know oh my god i don't care

if you hate it whatever the case may be before

I start using a loose powder make makeup was a mess oh my god my hair

so I like Huda Beauty loose powder what I do first to just like set my under eye

you need to make sure before you say your under eye

that there are no streaks no lines no nothing right like make sure everything is blended under your eye before

you go and set it because

if you set it wrong you're gonna set lines you're gonna set streaks you're gonna set all of

that right this is very powerful tool

but like you need to use it right

so i just grab a little bit of the loose powder with a fluffy brush

and then just like take the excess off

and just go a little bit under my eye like

so just my under eye

because i want to preserve this like glow i don't want to just go

and like erase all that glow and then when i'm sure

that it is all set and looking good i grab just like a powder puff and add some more

i like looking very airbrushed and like i like my android looking so fluffy i don't know about you

but that's what i like i add a lot of loose powder one more thing

i like adding loose powder over my eyelid because i don't like um

if you don't do that and

if you don't set your eyelids you're gonna end up with like streaks on your eyelid

and it do not look pretty like girl believe me

it don't i just go over it with like fluffy brush and a little bit of loose powder that's what I do.

I don't go like way too much.

And then I take a bigger powder puff and just set this area.

T -zone, chin.

This is not, this step is not only for like your, it's not only to set your under eye it's to brighten

it is to uh make sure everything is stays in place so

if you can see i'm literally sweeping

it all the way at the end just to kind of give give like

100

that more of a like a lifted look that's me though

101

but if you don't want any of

102

that you can just set your under eye quickly

103

and here's the trick here is the biggest trick i wait for 10 minutes for my face to bake right

104

if you're in a rush you don't want to do

105

that you can literally just like just take it off with like a fluffy brush

106

but I like mine to sit for a little bit.

107

That's how I do it.

108

Now I'm gonna go and draw my eyebrows.

109

I like to set them first and then go and draw them.

110

So I take the same fluffy brush

111

and set my the end of my my brows

112

so the the brow liner won't move this is cream brow liner

113

and it is from elf i like using it

114

because it is very cool brown um i use a lot of other um brow pencils

115

but a lot of them be like really like the brown be too warm

116

i keep my brows very simple i just fill it in i fill in whatever

117

that is needed mostly like i also extend it at the end

118

okay one last thing for my brows i just go with a tinted brow gel

119

just to kind of give it like that cool brown color let's go a little bit of it

120

now while my loose powder is sitting

121

and my face is baking i like to go with a powder bronzer

122

i don't really like using a um cream bronzer

123

because i find it useless right it's not really like you don't really actually need it

124

and like it just messes things up like i'm not really the greatest the greatest at makeup

125

but this is working for me

126

and i feel like this is like you know the most effective right

127

so what i do is i layer my bronzer

128

i go over with first with a light shade it depends on your like your skin tone

129

but for my skin tone

130

i don't like something like way too dark like you know very chalky like this i cannot go over this

131

and like boom put it on my face i cannot do that right

132

so what i do is i go with a very light bronzer first

133

you know warm my face up then i go with a medium bronzer then it depends on the occasion

134

but if i'm kind of going out

135

and like at night i do go with like a dark bronzer

136

but usually i don't

137

so i'm just going to show you my makeup routine for like an everyday thing

138

i love this uh brush from patrick it is

139

so fluffy it is

140

so I go with this side first for like more of like a precise line

141

so I literally just go over like right here

142

and then go a little bit of my forehead just the outer right just the outer

143

you don't want to go all over your face like so I like to add bronzer my eyelid like this

144

you know i feel like this gives like depth to your face

145

it don't look flat then i go with the other side

146

which is like more the fluffy side

147

and then blend it let's make sure it's all blended make sure your hairline is like not looking separated

148

now i'm done with the first layer i go with the medium bronzer same thing

149

take the excess off this is something very important

150

you want to take all the excess off

151

you don't want to go just directly with whatever you're applying on your skin or you're gonna just mess things up

152

just sweep it upward

153

i just go with the smaller side not the big side

154

and then i add a little bit of bronzer too under my eye like this.

155

I don't really don't do eyeshadows.

156

I just take a bronzer and add it to my eyelids like so.

157

Now it's time for lip combo.

158

This is also gonna be layered.

159

If you want your makeup to look phenomenal, you're gonna need to layer it.

160

I go with lip liner first and then a butter gloss and a nude lipstick.

161

So this is what I do for my lip combo.

162

I layer all of that.

163

I go first with Cool Spice by MAC.

164

I use this so much i use it literally every day your lip liner needs to be sharp

165

so every time i line my lips

166

and make sure to sharpen my lip liner first

167

so i can get a clean line

168

so how you want to layer your lip liner is pick um a lip liner

169

that is the closest to your shade right to your lip shade

170

and start with that right

171

if you want to go with a darker color start with

172

the lighter color first go over my lips a couple times till i get where i want them

173

and i like going a lot of times with my brown like light brown pencil

174

this is by morphe this is a little bit darker

175

and go just with the other side just the bottom of the lip liner and blend it like so

176

then get a nude lipstick and just apply it on the center of your lips

177

then blend it it's

178

so beautiful now take a butter gloss i use this from nyx

179

i don't know what shade is this fortune cookie and it go just on the center

180

then this is a little extra but i like giving it i like giving my lips a little bit of pink

181

so i just go with like one dot on the center on the bottom center

182

then take a lip gloss

183

and just apply it on the center of your lips to just give it like all that seamless look

184

Now it is time for a powder blush.

185

I like using this

186

Too Faced powder blush.

187

This is her.

188

Very cool pink.

189

Brush by Say.

190

And then this is what I do, right?

191

I just grab a little bit of the powder blush and then take the excess off my hand.

192

Then go ahead and apply it on my cheeks.

193

Just make sure i'm taking all of

194

that excess off first

195

i like applying my powder blush like around kind of my

196

under eye to kind of blend everything in i don't like my under eye be separated from my my cheeks

197

the step before the last step is gonna be highlighter big fan of fenty beauty highlighter it is

198

so buttery and it's

199

so just like pigmented just grab a brush just like a tiny little fluffy brush this is by ser

200

and then apply it literally on my cheekbone under my eyebrows

201

and around here a little bit over my eyebrows i like going with a white pencil

202

and just literally draw on my nose right here

203

and then right here

204

and i like applying white liner in my um my water line just keeps like

205

that um i'm awake look now i'm gonna take all

206

that excess powder off my face oh damn look at this highlighter i take a very small brush

207

and add highlighter right here i do not really go move

208

it i do not drag it around i literally just add it on top of my nose like

209

so i've already got my clusters on

210

so i'm just putting mascara on the bottom lashes then

211

when i'm done with that i like to take a clean spoolie

212

and brush through it to get all of that extra mascara off

213

because i know these lashes want to stick together so bad

214

and then to set your makeup you want to use a setting spray right

215

I go with this powder melt setting spray to

216

melt all the powder because you don't want your face to look too like cakey or too powdery.

217

I don't know if I'm really like making sense

218

but I like to melt all that powder

219

so I just spray a little bit of this melting powder spray on my face.

220

Then I go with this waterproof setting spray, my favorite spray

221

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.
