1
I'm back about to do another makeup tutorial.
2
I'm gonna show you guys how I do an easy, glowy summer makeup look.
3
Always start with skin prep.
4
I'm gonna go in first with the glazing milk.
5
I don't think I've done a tutorial video yet, like a makeup tutorial video, when the glazing milk was out in the world yet.
6
I've teased it in other videos, but I think this is the first one that it's actually out in the world and available.
7
Going in with the glazing milk, of course, always want to have that super glazed, glowy, juicy skin.
8
I always like to still go in also with the peptide glazing fluids, my holy grail go-to for makeup prep and also,
9
you know, how much I love to mix it with my makeup a lot.
10
So I'm going in with that, and because it's summer, I feel like I have been doing this combo a lot more because it's warm.
11
I've been in some places that have been more humid
12
and I feel like this combination is so hydration packed and it looks so stunning under my makeup.
13
So this has been my go-to.
14
If I was getting my makeup done and it was gonna be more of a full glam, then I would definitely go in with a richer moisturizer over top of this as well
15
because I really like to keep my skin super, super hydrated under my makeup.
16
I am actually gonna go in with one more secret thing.
17
I've been having a lot of fun testing this out.
18
And what I will say is that it leaves and keeps the skin and the face feeling really snatched and sculpted.
19
But first thing I'm gonna start with, my contour slash underpainting.
20
This is the Makeup Forever palette, and I love using this for my underpainting slash contour vibe.
21
It's perfect for that.
22
And I really love this hourglass brush.
23
I feel like it kind of just pushes the product really nicely into the skin and it makes everything look really,
24
really even and seamless.
25
I want to make sure I look bronzy and glowy in my skin.
26
I'm pretty tan right now, so I want to make sure that everything looks even and matches.
27
Trying to make sure I always blend it out underneath my jawline
28
and like into my ears so that it doesn't leave any Splotchiness or unevenness.
29
I just feel that the snatch you get from this technique is pretty undefeated
30
if you ask me Next I'm gonna go in with the hourglass
31
concealer I'm gonna go in all the spots I normally go in Get that lift.
32
Once again, I'm not going too light with the concealer because
33
my body is really tan and I need to try to match it as much as I can.
34
Just taking this brush to blend it out in the smaller areas.
35
I always end up using my finger too, so it is what it is.
36
I think that this concealer is really creamy and beautiful, but has really good coverage too, and it's buildable and nice.
37
Before I go in with any product over this contour and concealer.
38
I'm going to just buff it out the tiniest bit.
39
And if I was going to go in next with a foundation, I probably wouldn't have pre-buffed it out, but I'm not going to use something with as much coverage as a foundation
40
because I'm doing like a light summer makeup that I want my skin to breathe and look really fresh and natural.
41
So what I am going to go in with is this Hourglass Veil, which is their Hydrating Skin Tint.
42
it's really light, really beautiful, gives such a nice glow, but also a good coverage, but not too much.
43
And I do feel like it's definitely buildable if you want it to be.
44
I just put some on the back of my hand
45
and I'm going to go in with the fluffy side of this brush
46
and I'm going to just buff it into the skin over that contour and concealer.
47
And then it kind of just helps melt everything into the skin as you can see.
48
I think this is really nice for the summer because it's light.
49
Your skin feels like it can breathe.
50
It gives nice coverage but isn't too overpowering.
51
It's really really beautiful.
52
Next I'm going to do my blush.
53
I'm gonna do two different blush shades a nudie beige pink
54
and I like to do that first because it almost bronzes up the skin a little bit too.
55
Such a pretty color.
56
The next one I'm going to go in with is a little bit more of like a baby ballerina pink
57
and I love glowy dewy summer skin vibe.
58
I'm just saying.
59
Before I move on to the next step i'm going to just start doing a little powder under my eyes
60
and let it sit for a second hourglass veil i don't like to do a lot of powder just
61
because i like to stay looking really glowy
62
but i do definitely feel like it's necessary to set my makeup okay
63
so that was powder i'm not a big brow girl
64
so i'm just gonna brush them up i like to go the reverse way like this and then brush them.
65
One of these days I'll be a girl who fills in her brows, but today's not that day.
66
I'm gonna use this color from this Simi Haze palette, this nice dusty rose color right there.
67
I feel like that's a color that I think people probably seem to use often like something in that world
68
next i'm going to do a little bit of mascara
69
and this is the hourglass mascara
70
which i love i use this a lot i feel like people point out the way i say mascara
71
and mascara mascara i think i say mascara very new york like where i grew up mascara
72
i'm not always a bottom lash girl but
73
that really did something for me i have to do this liner lip situation off camera
74
because i'm not ready to to tease this yet i am
75
still here you can see it kind of just like enhanced my lips
76
and it's like a nudie color just brings more definition to the lips and And it's so natural and beautiful, which I love.
77
And then I'm going to do a little highlight.
78
The last thing I'm going to do is my peptide lip treatment.
79
And look what's back.
80
Vanilla cake.
81
This is vanilla cake back permanently as road vanilla.
82
So this is our permanent road vanilla scent.
83
And I'm so happy that it's back.
84
I really missed this scent.
85

86
I think I'm done.
87
I mean, this is usually just my typical go-to summer night out makeup.
88

You’ll pick up natural phrases for explaining processes, sharing preferences, and describing products, all while staying engaged. Plus, the upbeat tone makes shadowing (repeating aloud) fun—ideal for improving pronunciation and rhythm. It’s a quick win for learners who want to sound more like a native!

Grammar & Expressions in Context

The speaker uses practical structures you can start using today:

  • “I’m gonna show you guys how I do…” – The contraction “gonna” and casual “you guys” are key for conversational English. Practice this to sound friendly and natural.
  • “If I was getting my makeup done… I would definitely go in with…” – A second conditional for hypothetical situations. Great for learn english with videos since it’s used often in daily talks.
  • “I feel like this combination is so hydration packed…” – “I feel like” softens opinions, and “hydration packed” is a creative compound adjective. Use these to add personality to your speech.

Common Pronunciation Traps

Watch out for these tricky words in the video to improve english pronunciation:

  • “Glazing” – Don’t skip the “z” sound; it’s “GLEY-zing,” not “GLEH-sing.”
  • “Sculpted” – The “pt” is silent; say “SKUL-ted,” not “SKUL-pted.”
  • “Buff it out” – The “ff” in “buff” is short and sharp. Practice linking “buff it” to sound smooth: “BUH-fit out.”

Use a shadowing site to repeat these phrases—imitate the speaker’s pace and intonation. You’ll notice progress in no time!

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.
