Shadowing Practice: Millie Bobby Brown's 10-Minute Routine As A New Mom | Allure - Learn English Speaking with Video

- Also girls, why do we always go, like, close our mouths?

I like always catch myself doing it, and then when my husband comes in the room, I'm like.

you He leaves, I'm like...

Hi guys, I'm Millie Bobby Brown and this is Winnie

and today we are with Alor to do our 10 minute beauty routine.

I'm a mom so now everything is purely based on getting out the house in 0 .5 seconds.

It's going to be super casual and very easy.

So my first product is Florence by Mills, our pineapple whip moisturizer.

For me, I travel a constantly and my skin can get on the drier side so this moisturizer has saved me.

Winnie has dry skin too.

She hasn't used it and don't use it on your dogs.

Also smells divine.

The problem with Florence by Mills products, and there's hardly ever a problem, they do smell like you want to eat them.

And I do.

That's why I am the way I am.

So, I'm going to Apply this.

When it comes to skincare, I use my hands.

I never really use a brush.

I just feel like for me, I like to feel it.

Also as a mom, I feel like eye cream is a necessity.

I...

didn't have like tired eyes bags before I had my child.

And then I did nights and I was like, oh my God, I look insane.

Actually the first night, second night, you're like, I'm living for this.

Cause you have this like kind of glow about you.

The third night, it hits you like a ton of bricks.

And the next morning I woke up and I was like, oh my God, I look insane.

So this is the best eye cream.

And it also has retinol on it to brighten up those under eyes, mums.

If you know, you know.

And I always just do a little bit on my eyes, on the top of my eyes, just so that I get that brightness everywhere.

Since becoming a mum, I'd say, gosh, um, It's just not about you anymore.

So you really have to plan your night out now.

Like for me, I do every single bedtime.

You know, me and my husband do every single bedtime.

It's like the best, but I have about an hour to give her.

And then by that time, you're like, I just want to get into bed myself.

I can't really be bothered.

So self -care is important, but it's probably minimized into like 30 minutes where I'm just like shower,

skincare, hair, you know, and I usually do like once a week where I really kind of

just like hone in and do everything, and then I'm just like, "Dad?" But you know, ultimately I also want her to see me take care of myself,

to enjoy self -expression and she really likes to watch me do my skincare and makeup.

She just follows the brush.

I think mostly because she wants to just put it in her mouth.

Your girl has never found the foundation of her dreams.

I don't know if that's a relatable comment, but like I could like love a foundation for like three years and then all of a sudden I'm like, this is actually the worst foundation I've ever used.

Like why have I been doing this?

And I think it's like, you really have to just like

Find the one that works for you works for your skin

and also amount you guys like change the amount of product

you put on your skin I feel like before I was like

Caking myself up with just the foundation then I was like I hate my makeup.

Why?

Well, it's because you have like a three layers of makeup on So this is my hourglass.

It's not a shiny because guys this is actually mine.

I'm not like one of those fake people.

It's shade 8 .5.

I usually do use a brush to apply my foundation and I always use my hand.

However, when I leave the house, I always forget to wipe it.

And then I'm like, "Shit." I've looked like I've gotten bored and started doodling on myself.

But anywho, I'm gonna use this one.

Okay.

Also love these brushes.

Shout out Mario.

I love you and I love these brushes.

You know why?

They're dual ended like that.

This is great.

You know why?

Because I don't have space in my makeup bag and I can put three of you in me.

Well, that makes no sense.

Three of Mario in me.

Honestly, you're hot.

But no, he's divine.

So when I talk minimal, I really mean it.

Like I try to just do the lightest layer and I'm You know, I'm 22, so I still do get like acne, hormonal acne here and there.

I try to embrace it.

I'm not the kind of person to try and cover it as much as possible because it actually gives me anxiety.

I'm like, it needs to breathe.

Let it breathe.

So I try to give a really light layer, but I also still like to see like some of my freckles and things like that.

So I try to keep it, try to keep it as minimal as possible.

you you I would say, like, for me, if I don't have my eyebrows on, I'm not leaving the house.

Because I believe, and nobody needs to comment in the comment section because I already know your opinions, but I believe that I like to bring my eyebrows in just a little bit more

And I really think eyebrows are hard to do.

I think I need a course in them.

You really have to learn the way your eyebrows look best.

And there's a reason I've had my one and only makeup artist for all these years.

And that's because I just love the way he does my makeup.

Shout out Buster Knight, love you.

So I would say I'm happy with this and always connect to the neck because it gives me so much anxiety,

seeing people on TV with different color face and neck.

So I'm like, guys.

Let's not do that.

Next up, Posh Spice, Victoria Beckham.

First of all, I'm obsessed with you.

You're an icon.

Second of all, I'm obsessed with your bronzer.

I love it.

100

You're everything.

101

My mom got me onto Victoria Beckham.

102

My mom only uses Victoria Beckham.

103

She just loves it and watches all her tutorials, which actually breaks my heart.

104

It's the cutest thing ever.

105

She's like, this is how she did her eye.

106

This is how I'm going to do my eye.

107

I'm like, period.

108

Again, this is my real one.

109

Don't judge me.

110

Okay.

111

I'm going to use her.

112

So I like to just use the lighter one.

113

And then I just kind of...

114

I kind of work with where the shadows naturally land on my face.

115

Um...

116

because that's like naturally, I think, how my face works.

117

I don't like to paint anything that doesn't really exist already.

118

And then the biggest thing, and I've only recently started doing this, is actually matching it with my eyes.

119

Gigi Hadid

120

I see her always and it's always like the same like her eyes

121

and her contour are the same and I'm like "Gigi whatever you're doing it's working girl" because now I'm doing it.

122

So I like to just pop a little bit on my eyes just to kind of connect the dots.

123

Okay, so I do like to connect it to my forehead, and then last thing, I just like to connect it to my jawline.

124

Sometimes if I'm like feeling Snatchelina, I will contour my nose, but today I just feel like I don't have time,

125

so we're keeping it short and sweet.

126

Sabrina.

127

Okay, next up.

128

I'm obsessed with the Charlotte Tilbury blusher.

129

I just love the way it feels.

130

I love the color.

131

I would say I'm actually, so funny enough, I always say this, but I absolutely hated blush growing up.

132

Why?

133

Because it made me look younger and I wanted to look like Dua Lipa.

134

First of all, Dua Lipa's stunning.

135

Absolutely love you.

136

Congratulations on the wedding, girl.

137

I just wanted to look older, so I stayed away from blush.

138

Now I'm in my blush era.

139

Now I love it.

140

However, I never liked pink, so I had to find my kind of my color and it's peach.

141

I really like the way peach looks on me and I feel like it's just really natural and cute.

142

So that is what I do.

143

And then all the kind of trendy Instagram girlies put it on their nose too.

144

So That's what I do because I am a follower.

145

So that's our That's our skin so far guys.

146

I know you're like what has she done, but I have done something because I look semi put together now Okay, next I'm going to do I'm gonna curl my eyelashes the

147

thing I said I don't ever hardly do I do try and today I have time so let's do it Okay, never let anyone do this to you.

148

I was scarred when I was young.

149

A horror story being that my skin got caught in it instead of the eyelash, and they squeezed, and I screamed.

150

They always like to do it when you're young, you know, to like, 'cause they don't wanna put mascara on.

151

They're always like, "We'll make you look supernatural," and they always used to just like curl my eyelashes, and one time I was like,

152

"Ah, we're never doing that again." Okay, mascara.

153

Love this Dior mascara.

154

I also use another mascara from Walgreens.

155

It's the best.

156

And it's red.

157

And I just love the way it looks on my eyes.

158

And every time I do it, my husband goes, "Oh my God, are you wearing your red mascara?

159

I love it." And I'm like, "I love you.

160

That's why I married you." Because you can tell when I'm wearing my Walgreens mascara as opposed to my Dior.

161

So we're gonna pop a little bit on.

162

Okay, the only thing that I don't do that I know many girls do is put mascara on my bottom lashes.

163

I don't like doing it.

164

It's never been my thing, just my top.

165

But I also love the way other girls look with bottom lash mascara.

166

I just don't like it on myself.

167

Burgundy, I would say, is more my day -to -day, but if I'm going out, I'll use that.

168

Gosh, the role beauty plays in Enola Homes 3.

169

To be honest with you, I don't think Enola's not taking risks, primarily because it's the 1800s.

170

God forbid a girl gets manicure, but I love that she's very natural and she tries to just enhance her natural beauty.

171

And she's doing it for herself, not anyone else.

172

- I just noticed your two braids kind of match the wedding braids.

173

- Yes, that's the point, girl.

174

That's the point.

175

I designed the first wedding look with our amazing designers on the film.

176

Consolata, obviously she is our amazing costume designer

177

and we worked tirelessly on what that dress looked like and I took inspiration from my actual wedding dress with my husband, Jake Bon Jovi.

178

Love you.

179

The hair was very specific.

180

I knew I wanted to do two braids, one to symbolize me, one to symbolize Tewksbury.

181

So I knew I always wanted to do that, however, it's really hard to get that whole style in a wig.

182

When I tell you my wig was hanging on the weight of the bun and then the braids.

183

was just trying to pull down.

184

So it's very, very difficult to try and do that without the wig falling off constantly.

185

And it's not like Enola's a lady, you know, she's on the top of a carriage with a gun.

186

Okay, my next.

187

This is my eyebrow pencil, Anastaza.

188

Obsessed, love.

189

Color I don't know.

190

Let's brush these bear boys.

191

We've had enough talking about my eyebrows for one day.

192

So I like my eyebrows kind of like semi -bushy, but not too much.

193

But I do also love

194

when I'm giving like a Britney eyebrow where it's just like a little bit straighter

195

and do a little bit of like a kind of turn it out at the end instead of down, because it's just very 90s and cool.

196

Okay, Wendy, do you think you're better than me?

197

So I always start here and then work my way in and then I always brush it out as I go.

198

Um...

199

And then I have this point at the top of my eyebrow that I always just like to get.

200

Thank you.

201

because I feel like it adds shape.

202

you Yeah, I feel like it gives me kind of an arch.

203

Okay, so that's kind of how I do my eyebrows.

204

I'll just look, yeah, that is how I do them.

205

The camera makes me second guess myself.

206

Okay, all right, let's match.

207

That's the hardest part, but they're not twins, they're sisters.

208

Brush it out.

209

Get that out.

210

For me, the brushing out just feels like, I don't know, it feels like it's helping me in a way.

211

So you see how this one is up and this one's going out.

212

This always happens to me.

213

I absolutely hate it.

214

So I have to...

215

Bring it in a bit more and keep it straight.

216

I feel like we're in a good Spot.

217

Listen, am I obsessed?

218

No. Am I busy and need to leave?

219

Yes.

220

Yeah.

221

Okay.

222

I'm happy with her.

223

She lives.

224

She lives.

225

I'm gonna do...

226

My lips, this is my favorite part.

227

There's a lot of talk on the town about my lips, but do I care?

228

No. So, I'm gonna do my lip liner first and then I like to add a bit of moisture in the middle.

229

It's Gratelion and I'm not sure about this shade.

230

Let's take a look when it's on.

231

Okay, my makeup artist knows this about me, but I love to do my own lip liner.

232

And the thing is I like the way he does it better, but for me, it's a therapy thing.

233

I love It's like my favorite part of my routine.

234

And I also go to the bathroom sometimes just to do it in a restaurant, 'cause I'm just like, It's so fun coloring in.

235

So I always start on my Cupid's bow.

236

And then I just swing it around.

237

I don't like to overline my bottom lip because I do have a bigger bottom lip.

238

Like, as a baby, I was literally like...

239

So I don't like to overline it because then I do look crazy.

240

There you go.

241

And then I just like to swish it, because I like to bring it in just a little bit.

242

And that's my lip liner.

243

Quickly after, I'm gonna bring in our Florence by Mills.

244

I'm obsessed.

245

These are our Stay Plush.

246

This is shade Strawberry Sunrise, and I'm just gonna basically put a little bit of this in the center.

247

so you Also another thing that I could just eat.

248

Oh my God, amazing.

249

And those are my lips.

250

Last but not least, this is our Florence Fab Mills Hair and Body Mist.

251

I am obsessed.

252

We have three different scents.

253

We have Lovecore, Soft Girl, and then we have Coastal Chic.

254

Coastal Chic is definitely more summer.

255

And even though New York isn't giving summer right now, it is the summertime.

256

So we're going to throw some of this on.

257

And a little bit on the hair.

258

Why not?

259

We're here.

260

- Okay.

261

The most thing I want to be known for is to smell good.

262

That's my big thing.

263

Okay guys, this is my final look.

264

I am obsessed.

265

Here's our girl.

266

You know, I've done so many routines.

267

I've done so many magazines.

268

There's so many random pictures of me in airports and things like that, that I'm like, "Oh my gosh, that's what I was doing with my makeup at the time." Interesting choice, Nelly.

269

But I think that's kind of how I look back on my mum's pictures.

270

I'm like, "Mom, you wore your hair like that.

271

And why did you put glitter on your eyelids like that?" But she was like, "That's what we did.

272

we you know and

273

so i think it'll be really cool for my daughter to take a look back at those moments for me

274

and for me to explain oh that was me accepting this award

275

or that was me doing this and to be able to say i was 11

276

and i was experimenting with makeup but i was still having a really good time

277

and it wasn't about looking good it was about feeling like i was having you know fun It was about me.

278

I was never forced to wear makeup as a child.

279

For me, it was just an area of self -expression.

280

That's how I've landed where I am today, because I feel like now I just have a really good idea of what self -expression looks like.

281

And I just only can hope that she mirrors

282

that same level of fun and playfulness and to not let anyone dim her light.

283

I feel like ready for the day now.

284

Thank you guys so much for joining and watching.

285

I hope to see you guys very soon.

Why Practice Speaking with This Video?

Millie Bobby Brown’s candid discussion in the video provides an excellent opportunity for English learners to enhance their speaking skills using real-life contexts. Engaging with this content allows you to practice the shadowing technique, which can significantly boost your English speaking practice. By repeating phrases as you hear them, you not only mimic the rhythm and intonation of a native speaker but also improve your overall language fluency. This video is filled with everyday vocabulary related to self-care and parenting, making it relatable for many learners.

Grammar & Expressions in Context

Throughout the transcript, several grammatical structures and expressions stand out:

Present continuous tense: "I’m a mom so now everything is purely based on..." This expression reflects ongoing situations, a useful structure when discussing current roles or responsibilities.
Modals of necessity: "Eye cream is a necessity." This construction emphasizes the importance of an action or item, contributing to persuasive speaking skills in everyday conversations.
Use of colloquial expressions: "If you know, you know." This idiomatic phrase is excellent for expressing shared experiences and creating a sense of community among speakers.
Comparative language: "It hits you like a ton of bricks." This informative metaphor vividly describes the overwhelming feeling that may arise from a situation, enriching your descriptive language usage.

Common Pronunciation Traps

As you immerse yourself in Millie's speech, pay attention to the following pronunciation challenges:

The phrase “self-care”: Make sure to emphasize the “self” and smoothly connect it with “care” to avoid sounding robotic.
“Skincare”: Focus on blending the two words and maintaining a light flow to correctly convey this common term.
Intonation in questions: “What’s the best?” Notice how the pitch rises. Practicing these intonations will help you sound more natural in conversations.
Vowel sounds: The word "insane" has a tricky vowel sound that is essential for proper pronunciation; practice saying it clearly to avoid miscommunication.

By integrating these elements into your practice, you'll not only improve your English pronunciation but also feel more confident in expressing yourself. Using this transcript and the shadowing technique is a fantastic way to familiarize yourself with natural speech patterns while enjoying engaging content.

Grammar in this video

The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:

Structure	In the video
Conditional sentences if + clause, will/would + verb — a condition and its result	if I'm like feeling Snatchelina, I will contour · if I'm going out, I'll use
Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now	has saved · has never found · I've looked
Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it	be bothered · was scarred · is put
Superlatives the -est / the most … — the top or bottom of a group	the best · the worst · the lightest

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.
