29
It has some shimmer to it and put it in my tear duct. So, that's amazing.
30
And then I'm going to take a makeup wipe and just wipe the excess.
31
That's why I do my foundation after eyeshadow.
32
Eyeshadow falls down and then your face isn't cute anymore.

I just found these Marc Jacobs fantasy dew drops and I'm kind of obsessed.

and go to my sixth grade class with purple eyeshadow and a coat crease.
52
I haven't thought about letting what I'm letting Stormi wear makeup.
53
I mean, I'm gonna let her wear makeup, but when is the question.

Okay, once I'm done blending this out like crazy, I'm gonna take the same foundation I used and line the top of my brows since I did my brows before.
55
I didn't wanna get too close with the bigger brush.
56
Blend that out.
57
I like to mix my concealers because I like to use a pinkier one and a beigier one, paint cancels out.
58
I used to conceal my forehead, but I don't do that anymore because I feel like when you have like a cakey forehead, it gives away the fact you're wearing makeup.

75
I really don't know.
76
But it's important you do it after your bronzer.
77
I can't do my makeup without baking.
78
I think it really does help.
79
And for anyone who doesn't know what it is, baking actually, it's like the powder is soaking in to your skin and leaving like...
80
a residue of like a good color.
81
So I'm actually, I'm like trying to make this lighter here so I have more of like a, it just shapes my face.
82

103
I didn't even make it to my launch party.
104
I like refreshed the page and in two seconds, everything was gone.
105
And like, I just remember me and all my glam people, my friends, we were like screaming.
106
And then the Kylie Instagram used to be Kylie Lip Kit.
107
And then the day after I changed it to Kylie Cosmetics and I was like, this is like gonna be something like I can actually do.
108
yeah i saw kendall modeling all over the world
109
and i was like and that was always her dream
110
and just you know then finally finding something that was like mine
111
and i loved was like the best feeling in the world

126
And just wipe this off.
127
Dior Show black mascara on top.
128
It's actually like against the rules and lash worlds to mascara your lashes, but I don't care.
129
I use brown on the bottom because I don't like too much mascara on the bottom.
130
So this just gives me more of like a subtle look.
131
I feel like when I put black, it's like too much.
132
Now I'm going to do some highlighter.
133
I'm using Salted Caramel, my fave.
134
I like to use a small brush when I highlight because I just like it to be like precise.
135
A little on the tip.
136

Blush doesn't work for everybody, but it just makes me like, just feel amazing.
148
Drowning in blush right now, but it just makes me feel like my whole look is complete.
149
And then I just put my hair down and I'm actually gonna spray

because I feel like spraying just makes your makeup look better in person and less powdery.
151

152
because you're like did I ruin my makeup but then once it dries it looks way better

Why practice speaking with this video?
This video featuring Kylie Jenner offers a perfect opportunity for English learners to practice speaking in a relatable and engaging context. Kylie discusses her makeup routine and personal experiences, providing authentic dialogue that captures the nuances of everyday conversation. By mimicking her speech patterns, learners can enhance their English speaking practice skills, focusing on intonation, rhythm, and expression. Engaging with this content not only improves vocabulary but also boosts confidence in using English in casual settings, making it beneficial for all levels of speakers.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
In the video, Kylie utilizes several key structures that can aid learners in their understanding of conversational English:
- Present Simple Tense: Kylie often uses the present simple to describe her routines, as in "I start with my brows." This structure is fundamental and can help learners express habitual actions.
- Imperatives: Phrases like "brush them up" and “wipe the excess” illustrate how to give instructions effectively. Imperatives are crucial for clear communication, especially in tutorials or guides.
- First Conditional: Statements such as "if I put too much on, it looks heavy" highlight conditional structures. Understanding this can enhance learners’ ability to discuss potential outcomes.
- Colloquial Expressions: Phrases like “I'm kind of obsessed” showcase informal speech that is common in everyday conversations, allowing learners to sound more natural and relatable.
Common Pronunciation Traps
As you practice with this video, pay attention to a few tricky pronunciation aspects that can help you improve English pronunciation:
- Vowel Sounds: Words like "favorite" and "foundation" have vowel sounds that can be challenging. Focus on elongating the sounds to pronounce them correctly.
- Consonant Clusters: In phrases such as "eyes and shadows," the blending of sounds can be tricky. Practice slowing down and enunciating each consonant clearly.
- Word Stress: Kylie often emphasizes words like “really” and “always.” Notice how stress changes meaning or emotion in her speech; mirroring this can enhance your shadowspeak skills.
By focusing on these aspects and using the engaging content from the video, learners can effectively practice speaking and enhance their overall language skills. Utilizing techniques from shadowing can further aid in mastering these tricky pronunciation areas, making learning both enjoyable and productive.
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.
