2
- It's the skin of a killer bomb.
3
- I first used this Naked Sundays skin tint SPF 50.
4
Um, thing?
5
It just gives like that tan, glowy, sun -kissed appearance.
6
This look is going to be very glowy and tan.
7
Lots of browns, warm tone.
8
yeah.
9
I don't know how that's gonna look on me because I'm pale as a ghost.
10
I'm actually - this is my tan.
11
If you saw my tan lines you would be actually blinded.
12
Like that's my -
13
that's my natural skin tone i will try my best to look as good as they do in
14
that type of makeup very inspired by kim kardashian circa 2000
15
and something also jessica alba so first we're gonna do concealer
16
because i can't live without concealer i'm going to use two
17
concealers i'm using the cosas concealer in shade 2 .6c i
18
bought it thinking it was my shade it's very dark because it doesn't
19
And then this is like the lightest concealer of all.
20
This is Cloud by Too Faced and it's super duper white
21
and I like to mix them together to get my shade so that I won't look as pale.
22
I'm gonna clip my hair back.
23
I'm just taking those front pieces back.
24
I know so many people just got pissed off because there's still hair on my face.
25
Always wet.
26
Da beauty blender.
27
Mine's already wet.
28
I'll just use this for the mirror.
29
I can actually...
30
Okay.
31
Thank you.
32
I'm gonna do a little dot of this and then the dot of the lighter one.
33
I haven't posted in a few weeks and I'm very sorry for that.
34
I've been dealing with a lot of hate recently.
35
I'm not sure what's triggering it.
36
I think maybe I'm just getting more attention online because it's not for one specific thing.
37
It's just people hating on basically everything I do and I try not to let it get to me.
38
to rejection being neurodivergent, it's like, low -key made me bedridden for the past.
39
few weeks and i have to learn to sort that out
40
because that's not okay and i've just realized
41
that you know people online can be
42
so parasocial i didn't realize it would get like that for me
43
but it did
44
so i'm gonna i'm gonna be back on track i'm not even leaving you guys i'm gonna use this bronzer
45
stole from my mom it's a westman one and it's magnetic!
46
Okay, I'm just going to...
47
I just feel like it looks dirty on me because my skin is that pale.
48
It's just...
49
Like it doesn't look natural.
50
Oh!
51
that looks fine that looks great actually.
52
blending it in with the beauty blender
53
because i like it i should blend it in with a brush i think
54
that would not pick up as much as a product because it doesn't really look like much we try again.
55
that that is better i think i'm gonna do nose contour now
56
if i'm at a weird angle i'm trying to like be on camera and also look in this mirror
57
okay we're gonna use orange blush it kind of blends in nicely with the bronzer it's the
58
putting it across my nose too need more bronzer Wow, it looks so glowy!
59
Okay, I'm gonna quickly do my eyebrows, and then we'll get onto the eyeshadow makeup.
60
It's just a hard part.
61
lololololo.
62
Okay, we're going to powder, but we have to powder in all the right places because otherwise the glow will go away.
63
Thus, it's not good.
64
I'm just going to do pretty much my eyes and then around my nose where I put concealer, but not on it.
65
I might try a bit of highlight too.
66
I'm not showing you this palette.
67
It's worse than my blush, but I would like to try some highlighter.
68
Got a very gold shade.
69
Thank you.
70
I don't know if you can see it.
71
and let's do let's do the corner of my eyes too Thank you.
72
Just a little bit.
73
Thank you.
74
- It looks so good.
75
I'm very happy with it.
76
Okay, this will ruin it or make it way better.
77
Okay, we're going to do the smokey eye with brown.
78
I'm going to use a very dark brown. Is this?
79
And I don't know what I'm doing.
80
I'm just trying to...
81
Create something.
82
Oh, that doesn't look bad.
83
Okay.
84
Why does it look good?
85
I actually practiced this look on my TikTok, but it turned out really bad.
86
I posted it anyway.
87
Okay, I'm going to go find my black eyeshadow.
88
I'm going to create like a smirky wing?
89
Basically eyeliner with eyeshadow.
90
Why is that one so much better than that one?
91
Why is this one sharper?
92
Okay, now I'm going to do glitter.
93
I'm going to use this one color This one, oh you can see my AC and now I can see my forehead.
94
using this one it's very warm like very almost orange but i like that i have orange hair Ooh, so...
95
Sparkly.
96
I'm gonna touch up my little wing again.
97
let's do the waterline which i hate doing
98
but i'm a bit more confident now
99
because i usually just hate the look on me and i still sometimes do if it's done wrong
100
see why is this side it's just metal i think it's
101
the lighting i want to do do we have any white
102
highlight i'm gonna do this shade it looks pinkish like around my eye Okay,
103
I'm gonna add some more brown eyeshadow and then we should be pretty much finished and then we can do mascara.
104
I like to sharpen that part of my eye because I think I have very sharp inner corners.
105
I like to accentuate it.
106
Okay, they have very big lashes, usually fake lashes.
107
I don't wear fake lashes, but I can make them look like fake lashes.
108
I'm first gonna use it, oh my god why is all my makeup crusty?
109
I swear it's fine it's just broken here and it doesn't like do up properly.
110
This is like a volumizing mascara.
111
We'll do the volume first and then a lengthening one.
112
That's my guide to like making real lashes look like false lashes.
113
a cat eye this mascara is very clumpy but that's what we're going for,
114
that's why i chose it and we do the bottom Then I'm using a length based one. Of course.
115
It's reminding me of Ever After High makeup.
116
I always have the best mascara and eyeliner.
117
Oh my gosh, my eyes look amazing.
118

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.
