and personal for this video so you guys can see every little thing on my face including my dandruff just kidding not supposed to see that i've already kind of filled in my brows just because my brows are very sparse super sparse if you want to see an in-depth tutorial on my brows i did one in my last makeup tutorial it's called pretty everyday makeup i will link it below so you guys can check it out if you want to know how i do my brows but i am still going to walk you through what you should do in the order and why and everything so if you're new to makeup let's get started first things first you want to make sure your skin is clean i wash my face every morning you should too i use a bar soap and a little face halo i'll link it below it's just like a little cloth of some kind that really gets all the dirt out and gives me a little tiny mini exfoliation so my skin is always very brand new and clean and then after that if it's the morning time i make sure to use a vitamin c for my dark spots for those of you out there who have acne scarring and hyperpigmentation it's really good to use a vitamin c all over your face it's brightening and something that's kind of hydrating i'll link the one that i use below after that i put on an spf so just in case i get any sun i am protected the spf's gonna make you look younger longer so invest in a good spf that is all happening before my makeup my skin is really prepped and ready for makeup it's clean and it's protected so the first thing makeup wise that i do is make sure that my face is primed it's kind of like when you paint you want to make sure your wall has a nice even clean look to it so that you don't get any weird bumps or anything like that same thing with your skin do you have oily dry or combo i have combination dry skin so i normally try to gravitate towards something that is more hydrating and gripping for the makeup to last longer so the one that i really like to use is dermablend this is an instant grip jelly primer it's a three in one primer it's hydrating it's gripping to the makeup so your makeup is going to last longer and it's also tightening for the skin so those pores those large pores i have on my cheeks will be a lot smaller so i really like this primer but if you don't have a primer on hand i would use a really good moisturizer the one that i love love love i use this every day even if i don't use primer i'm fine with just using this it's a good moisturizer i'll link it below it's good because it leaves you with the dewy finish and it has like a tacky kind of finish as well so it really grips onto the makeup really well so if you have a nice moisturizer or you're into skincare you probably already have something that works great as a primer anyways don't worry about getting the exact brand that i'm showing you the ones that i'm showing you are the ones that perform really well i've used tons of primers foundations and everything and these are my go-to favorite so i know they work really well for me so that's why i am showing you them but don't worry about getting the exact one there's tons out there do your research read reviews before you buy something but if your skin is more on the oily side then you're gonna want something that's oil-free and mattifying and if you have large pores something that's going to smooth out those pores so keep that in mind but i like something that just does everything in one that's why i like this one so i'm just gonna apply this to my hands it looks like that it's just clear you don't need a lot and you're just going to apply it all over your face so primers can be used as a barrier between your skincare and makeup or they can make your makeup just go on very smooth some of them are just long-lasting they all do different things i kind of like the best of everything so i want to find something that does multiple things in one that's just my personal preference but you may just really want your makeup to last long so that's what you look for maybe you want your face not to be so oily and that's like your main concern then you just look for something that's oil free and mattifying because my skin is already so dry and matte i want something that's going to bring it to life and give me that dewy glow so i really like this guy and then after you get your primer set your skin is now ready for foundation makeup to me is very personal and different for everyone depending on what your skin type is what you want from your makeup now when it comes to foundation there's different types and different finishes so the one that i personally like is something that's a little bit more natural and dewy i really love that healthy natural glow so i try to go for something more dewy but when i first started in makeup i had a lot of acne a lot of blemishes texture i still do i still have acne blemishes and texture but it it was a lot more intense back then so i wanted full coverage mattifying i didn't want anything shiny i just wanted to look like a porcelain doll that was my goal i would get the most full coverage matte foundation and concealer that i could get but now i personally like something that is glowy and natural i'm really embracing my skin these days and it's really improving so again think about your skin type if you have oily skin choose something that's more mattifying so i have a couple options if you're anything like me you're gonna want that natural dewy look so my go-to foundations right now are the makeup forever reboot because this makes your skin so like it gives you a really natural dewy glow wow i need to really wipe that off for you guys hello i love the dewyness that it leaves your it just makes your skin look so healthy and this is a new one from shiseido this one has nice coverage like the coverage isn't like crazy heavy it's like light to medium um and i can build it up to medium most of the time so these two are my are my go-to's this one's a lot newer sorry that they're so dirty it's just i actually use them so much but yeah this one is really good this is new and i love the staying power i love how it makes my skin look but if i was actually going out i would want something that is more full coverage but still gives me a natural skin like finish nothing cakey or dry so if you're wanting something more like that then i would choose the nars natural radiant foundation this is the shade barcelona when i am tan right now my tan is fading this right here is great coverage and it doesn't ever look cakey it gives you a really pretty natural kind of glow and if you're looking for something that's more on the drugstore end this is a really good one this is the born to glow more of a natural finish has a good coverage kind of similar to this so it's like natural glowy but it has like a medium coverage you would go with this one this one's really good or if you are oily go with the matte infallible pro matte one this is great coverage leaves you matte poreless like a porcelain doll so i really like those too but if you just want to even out your skin tone use something like this this is the it cosmetics cc cream it has more good for you skin ingredients it has the spf 50 it has like a nice soft coverage and it's really about evening everything out for that one so i'm going to go ahead and start to put on this foundation this is the shiseido when it comes to applying foundation my go-to is a beauty blender because it does everything for you if you don't know what to use to apply your foundation you're between a brush and a beauty sponge it doesn't have to be a beauty blender but this is kind of the best one there's also one from real techniques that's really good too and it's not as expensive there's that option as well i would say go with the beauty sponge because you cannot mess up with a beauty sponge it soaks in some of the products so it doesn't ever give you too much unless you really kind of just you know just like create a big huge dollop and soak it in there which you never want to do so i just put a little bit on my hand work it around and then i tap my beauty sponge and this to me gives me the most even natural looking coverage and then you can build this up so i go in and i do that and you want to make sure that you're using a color that is going to match your neck and the rest of your body you don't want to have this line going so i always like to just take my beauty blender and go right along my neck and make sure that that is nice and even okay i do my ears just because i really don't want to have any noticeable signs that i'm wearing makeup and i want to ensure that it really matches every part of my body so i always go over my ears and lightly kind of go over your under eyes don't spend too much time there because your under eyes are very delicate makeup can look very cakey easily in that area just because it's so thin and delicate so i'm gonna go over very lightly right on top of my eye so that it evens that area out if you don't have a lot of discoloration here don't worry about it too much just kind of go over it and move on but i do have a lot of redness around this area so i kind of go over everything and you want to use the big round side of the beauty sponge on the bigger parts of your face when you get to little smaller areas then you want to use the pointy side if your lips are super super bright pink what i like to do is just go over them with my beauty sponge because later i might want to put on a color and i want it to be true to color you don't have to do this if you just really don't care to do that but i'm doing it just because my lips are really pink right now and i don't know why after you're completely done you feel like okay everything looks even go in again go in with no more foundation just go in with whatever you have left on your beauty sponge and just go and tap into every area of your face to double check that everything is blended there's no spots or harsh lines that are uneven especially around your neck area your neck area is the most noticeable area where it's like whoa that color doesn't match right in here i don't know why sometimes i even miss this if i'm going too fast i'm like dang i should have just double checked that i swear i looked at that i've been doing my makeup for a very long time so i can do my brows first and then creams later and work around it i'm very comfortable with it but if you're not comfortable with that and you're a beginner probably don't do your brows first because you're gonna mess up and be frustrated that you have to go back and fill them in so just wait make sure you have an even face and then do your brows so now at this point i'm gonna let my foundation sit and dry on its own a little bit your foundation also may oxidize so you want to allow some time for it to dry down to its true color just in case you need to go back and fix anything so it might get a little bit darker it might turn a little bit orange i mean a lot of different things can happen with what i'm showing you right now these brands and this particular foundation doesn't do that but i do like it to kind of dry down so while it's drying down i'm going to do my brows how your brows come out is how the rest of your face is kind of going to look your brows frame your face so you want your brows to look even and balanced so you can either do that with a pencil or you can use powder and it depends the type of brow you want now this is basic how to apply makeup for beginners so we won't go into like the different types of brows because that's a little bit more advanced we're just going to fill them in make them look even imbalanced my favorite brow pencil is the brow blade because one side is one of those fancy model brow kind of styles and the other end is just a plain regular amazing little brow pencil so i'm going to take the brow pencil and usually if you're starting out just get yourself a brow pencil this one's from revlon that's really good too just get yourself a brow pencil with a spoolie so you can comb through your brow hair afterwards so i'm just going to go in and fill in any sparse areas that are missing if you don't know where to start on your brow take your pencil line it up i have a crooked nose okay so i fake it a lot i contour my face a lot so that it looks more balanced and aligned but what you typically want to do is your brow should end up right there that's where your brow should be the point of the brow should be here so right there the brow should end right here so i'm gonna go ahead and make my little mark so right here and then here and then mark it at the end like that oh my goodness if you have a pretty good amount of brow hair you can just get away with this by using a brow powder and that works really well i feel like you should always set your brows because any cream even if it's a pencil is going to move eventually later on if you touch your brow or anything happens to that area it's going to move so you want to make sure you set it in place once we've filled everything in and you feel like everything is nice and balanced and even when you're choosing your brow shade you want to make sure you choose a color that's a shade lighter than your natural hair color but use whatever color makes you feel the most comfortable so after my brows are filled in i like to set my brows i'm going to be using the transition palette to set everything on my face because it has my brow shade in here which is this guy right here if you're new to makeup this is perfect for you because it has all the shades you need to set your face with no matter what part it is so i'm doing my eyebrows with kohl which is this shade right here but you can do bronzer contour brightening blush everything so everything you need in one palette you don't really need to go anywhere else because it also has all the core eyeshadow shades that you need for an everyday kind of look so i'm going to go into kohl there's also some other shades up here that are really great for brows so just it's like everything you need no matter what skin tone no matter what you need it for it's kind of there for you so i love love this palette i'm gonna go in with this angled eyeliner brush and i want these like really nice even strokes i'm gonna take a little bit of coal and i like to create little brow hairs so i'm setting my brow and i'm also creating this little brow flicks if you want to just fill it in you can fill it in but use a very light light hand i'm going to go in very lightly and brush in the direction that my hair would grow use a little spoolie to comb through everything after that's done then i'll go in with a brow setter nyx just came out with one this is a more affordable option that's really good this is the brow glue a little stringy but it's nice and affordable one that i absolutely love hands down if you buy it's worth the money this is benefit 24 hour brow setter you just brush through your hairs like this press them upwards and i'll go in the direction that i kind of drew in my brows so i'm going to go up here middle part of my brow goes slightly in that direction and then the end just kind of goes up like that so our brows are set in place they're not going to move around they're also not going to come off that easy either because we set with powder so our brows are done very happy for us if you like something that's very sharp on the bottom of your brow you can take a little tiny brush like this and i'm using this to kind of clean my brows at the bottom it looks like that very very thin or you can just take a concealer brush and just kind of go underneath and swipe through anything you want to clean up or make a little bit more defined you just go in like that i'm pretty happy with how the bottom looks so overall brows are looking good and i'm really happy about it so now that your foundation is set in place you can kind of see check out your skin to see if there are any places that need a little extra love and a little more coverage so that's what concealer is for concealer is all about coverage some people just use concealer by itself because they don't want like a full even face they kind of like their even skin tone already they just need to hide a little bit of dark circles or blemishes i have a little bit of both so i'm going to show you both for me since i like more of a natural dewy foundation all over i want my concealer to be more mattifying and have that balance and i want it to also be high coverage not natural not medium high just get rid of it so the areas that i like to focus on are my under eyes and around my nose i feel like it's sometimes it needs a little more love has a little more redness than other parts of my face so my favorite concealer right now is the makeup forever matte velvet skinfinish this one is amazing it's such great coverage it kind of gives you a new layer of skin so if you are brightening any part of your face i would suggest you using a shade that is two to three shades lighter than your natural skin tone if you just have a blemish that still didn't cover up with the foundation because you like more of a natural look then get a concealer that is going to match your skin tone don't try to go brighter or darker just match your skin tone the best that you can it should look undetectable but i personally my foundations are pretty medium light to medium and i build them up so that they are medium and give me some coverage without completely caking my face up now we are going to just get rid of our dark circles i have darkness in the inner corner and i still have it around my eye so i'm going to go in with this and just just apply it right here now i have bags on my eyes and it sucks so because i have like a little pouch here it's kind of more pronounced in this area i want to even that out with the rest of my face going down this way so i bring down my concealer so it just depends on how your face is shaped and your eyes and everything it's very like i said makeup is very personal to everybody it's going to be different for everyone i also like to add a little lift so i'll bring my concealer out here and down here just to brighten and right in here oh don't forget the nose and right there so this is all very brightening i'm not concealing i'm not correcting any redness really i'm just brightening this area all right so now i'm going to get the same beauty blender and press the concealer into my skin i do like my concealer to sit for a few seconds before i go in you get a little bit more coverage out of your concealer when you let it sit for a little bit don't let it sit for too long but just give it some time to breathe before you go in with a beauty blender i like to bring my concealer upwards because i have darkness around the corners of my mouth that kind of drag my mouth down so i always bring it up just give it a little lift be very very delicate with this you shouldn't be tugging your skin at all really just tapping everywhere you go and you get more coverage when you tap rather than move around like this so if you're more oily and you want a mattifying primer then i would use more of a natural finish concealer and i have one for you right here just in case you're like what do i use this is a really good coverage it's clean beauty has a natural finish it's not matte it's from cosis and i think you'll really love it if you're more oily i'm going to take that concealer whatever i have left over and move it onto my eyelids i'm going to use this as a base to my eyeshadow because this is going to be like a primer they do have eyeshadow primers i personally i'm not a big fan of them even when i was a working makeup artist i never really liked using them because sometimes they're a little bit too grippy and it doesn't allow your eyeshadow to kind of move around and kind of just like places it there so i just like to use my concealers and my foundations as my base and then i'm gonna go in and tap this brightener in here and there we go we're nice and bright and concealed we're even and you don't want to go out the house like this because you look very flat your eyes your face everything's just even now you want to add some depth some warmth into your cheeks your face everything so you don't want to go out the house and you're just like okay i'm ready and put some mascara on i would go in and add some depth to your face now i'm going to get into glow the glow for the skin is different for everybody some people like powders some people like creams and if you just like i don't know which one do i use well it depends on your skin type again if you are dry textured skin that's me i like creams they look more natural kind of gives you like a glowing from within rather glowing from on top and i can see your highlight you know i can see the little glitter some people like that and that's perfectly fine i personally don't because i feel like it really emphasizes the texture on my skin so what i do is use a cream highlight so this one is skin gloss and this is the glossed peach shade and what you're going to do is tap that on your cheeks i like kind of a warm glow so i'm going to take that there's four different shades of this so you just like choose whichever kind of glow that you want to go for i like the warm peach glow so i'm going to take that on my cheekbones anywhere that you want your face to look more pronounced more just glowy put it there i like to put some here on the nose and the chin i actually like to put it here as well just because it makes the skin look more more natural anywhere you want your skin to look glowy just put it there now that is my glow that's my highlight but if you really want that fierce intense glow then you're going to want to use a powder so the powder that i'm suggesting for you guys is the becca opal this is really really pretty it just broke i'll be back so powders were really not meant for me so anyways moving on now i'm going to go in with a cream blush the cream blush i'm using is from rare beauty this is the shade nearly apricot so i'm going to take that with my beauty blender just take a little bit and pop it onto my cheeks i want to apply it right on my cheekbone up in this area try to stay away from this area i mean it does look cute depending on how you apply it or what look you're going for but it just looks a little bit more lifted and natural also a little bit on the nose is fine i just like how it looks so there goes all of our creams i now need to set my face in place so to set my under eyes and give them a little bit more of a brightening boost i'm going to use natural right here and dip into a little bit of frothy and this is a face brush and it fits very easily right in there you can go in with a beauty sponge or a brush for this but i'm going to go in with a brush and just tap in the color right there if you want a full on all over set then go ahead and use a full size face brush this is a full-size base brush and dip into these two you it'll fit perfectly so here and here just so you know you can fit a full size face brush and it's gonna work perfectly and just kind of work it in all over your skin it'll set all your creams in place dab into these areas to brighten and set and you can see that i'm using like dabbing motions because you get the most out of your powders by patting them you get the most out of anything for with patting it so go like this unless you're trying to diffuse it then you do that so here i just want a soft layer right there so i'm just going to go over it like this and this is a smith 131 brush in case you guys are wondering i'm going to set the center of my face right in here and that glow that we put underneath is going to shine through the powder so it's going to give you a really nice natural glow anywhere that you have darkness that you want to brighten just go in at this moment and do that so next i'm going to bronze my face to bronze i'm going to be using caramel and toffee these two shades right here for the bronzer i'm going to take the f10 brush from sigma and i'm going to take caramel and toffee to warm up my face you want to add some warmth because you don't want to look flat you want to have some dimension in your face so i'm going to take it onto my cheeks and some people just they don't even like to put blush on they just rather just do bronzer so i can stop there the bronzer shades are the colors that i like to use on my crease the most so once we get to the eyes i'll show you guys how i use the bronzer on my eyes all right i'm going to go into those two shades and just kind of contour my nose and when i contour my nose if you don't really feel like you need to shape your nose in any way then don't worry about this stuff but i really like to bring some added shape with bronzer first on my nose so i'll start right here at the beginning of my brow and go down so that the contour flows into the eyes really easy and then if you have a pointy nose just take some bronzer or contour and shade right at the tip so that it makes your nose look a little more short or rounded and then depending on how much you want your nose to look if you want your nose to look thinner then you want to go in really close together on the two little sides but make sure that they're buffed out you don't want them to look like two strips you really want to make sure that is nice and buffed out so this this is like a base contour i like my eyes to look contoured too so this is like a very basic thing you should do i'm going to take the caramel and toffee shade i'm just going to sweep this back and forth into the crease using the same bronzer shade that used on your face on your eye is going to bring a lot of balance to your face and i like to bring it out a little bit just so it gives you more of like a lifting kind of look i just like to bring everything upwards so i'm going to take that and work that back and forth into the crease i'm also going to take the same shade and just drag it down on the lower lash line you don't want your brightener to look unnatural and just look super bright all the way up to the rim you want to add in that natural depth on the lower lash line so i just go in with whatever i have left and sweep it back and forth so now your face has some warmth going on you can stop there but if you want to add a little bit more structure you can contour your face and to contour you want to use a different shade that doesn't have as much red and orange in it so you want to use something that is a little bit deeper and more cool toned i'm going to use mocha it's a soft looking natural contour for me i'm gonna take a slanted brush this one is from maybelline i'm gonna take that because it has like a nice fluffy slant to it i'm gonna go into mocha just like a touch tap off the excess and i want to really make sure that my nose has some nice structure to it my nose is not very symmetrical so i really like to make sure that it has structure the same brush and just contour right here on my forehead anything that's brightening on your face is going to make that area look more prominent high and brighter anything that you're making look a little bit more darker is going to bring it back and kind of recede that area so i'm going to take the same color mocha and i'm just gonna bring it very close to my hairline because i want it to look like it's coming from my head i want it to look very natural so i'm gonna take it really close to the hairline you could do the same thing on your cheeks if you want to add a little bit more bone structure but if you're going to do that make sure that you sweep upwards and very lightly don't use a heavy hand just go very lightly on the bone area so now i'm going to go back into the eye area i kind of like my lids to look more healthy and bright just because naturally they're a little bit dull so i'm going to take natural and a little flat shader brush this is great to pack pigment and get a lot of eyeshadow in one area so i'm gonna take natural here and just pack it on to the lid so that makes it look a little bit more healthy so natural is like my favorite color for everything brightening also if you want your brow bone and the shape of your brow to kind of pop a little bit more you can add frothy and natural and just take it right underneath sweep it back and forth so it kind of highlights that brow bone and also just makes your eyeshadow look a lot more clean now i'm going to take a little bit of a deeper shade to darken the outer crease a little bit when it comes to eyeshadows in an everyday look for me is more neutral tone like this but if you like something that is more colorful and that is your everyday you want more color in your shadow then you can totally use the same steps but use color instead so i'm gonna go ahead and use a little bit of a deeper shade for the crease and for the deeper shade i'm going to take cinnamon always tap your brush because you don't want too much eye shadow at one time so you always want to build things up you never want to just pile on a bunch of color and then try to go down from there so i like to take the darker shades on the outer corner of the eye because then it adds a little bit more lift adds a little bit more drama and it gives your eyelid a really nice defined look i'm also going to take a little bit of this eyeshadow and bring it on the outer part of my lower lash line this also helps to bring balance to the eye now i am done with my eyes very easy a lot of people like inner corner highlight or a little bit of glow on their lid i personally just like it to look fresh and bright but if you want a little bit of a glow i have this shimmer palette right here from rare beauty so i'm going to take this shade right here and add a little bit of a pop of glow right into the inner corner and again anywhere you put something that's glowy that's bright it's going to add more attention to that area it's going to make it look bigger brighter and i just really like how it looks on the inner corners especially if your eyes are a little close set this really balances the eye area out and just gives you a nice pretty sparkle and then you can also put it on your brow bone and here but i just like it to look very nice and simple so i'm going to leave it how it is right here after this i'm going to create a little wing i'm going to use this angled brush right here this is actually a brown brush but because it's so thin it's perfect to create a precise line mix 18 brush so i'm going to take this brush and i'll dip into coffee beans and i'm just going to add a little bit of a wing right here i'm going to start at the center of my pupil like where the center of my people is everything after it should be very thin and kind of disappear but i'm going to start here and then go upwards i want my angle to look like just exactly like the brush so i'll just start out here and i'll bring it in i kind of want to smudge out my wing a little bit i like it to look a little natural so i'm just gonna go over with the pencil brush all the brush hairs are very close together and stiff so it moves the color around a little bit more so i'm gonna just go over the end so it doesn't look super harsh or anywhere that there's like a harsh line i kind of want to fade it out a little bit doing a little bit of a wing also kind of lengthens your eye a little bit another eyeshadow is done our eyeliner is done now we're going to curl our lashes put down the curler at the base and then lift it up a little bit because that's going to give you more of a curl and it's also going to avoid pinching your skin so just like this kind of pump it one or two times then i like to squeeze it and you're going to get a really pretty lift to your lash now that our lashes are curl we're gonna put some mascara on the mascara is gonna make our lashes stand out gonna look flirty girly beautiful you could just not use eyeshadow and use a mascara and you'll feel really pretty and girly already so i'm gonna go in with one of my favorite mascaras this one is from essence it's called lash princess i have tried several expensive mascaras and this one is so good this is beautiful it works like a dream so you always want to start at the base so i'm going to go here at the base but don't push down because it's going to smudge on your eyelid set it there don't press it in and then wiggle it side to side until you get to the top and if you put your mirror at the bottom you can kind of see the base so that you don't get it on your eyelid another trick that i like to do you guys is go in the opposite direction of where your lashes grow so go to the right go to the left and then you're gonna get the biggest lift it's kind of like when you flip your hair like if you always wear your hair to one side it's gonna always know to go to that side but if you flip it over you get this natural like volume so that's what happens to your eyelash so i'm gonna go to the right to the left and upwards so i'm gonna do the same thing to the other eye so i'm just gonna start at the base go and wiggle up i'm gonna go to the right to the left and up after you've applied some mascara your lashes are going to kind of naturally lose that curl don't worry once you're done with your makeup completely you can go back with your eyelash curler and re-curl your lash and it's going to look beautiful also you never want to pump your mascara like this because that's not going to ever do anything for you it's going to actually dry out your mascara so get it give it a really good push in there and let it go for the bottom lashes you want to look down so you want to hold your mirror up and look down and go side to side like wiggle your wand and try not to touch your skin this looks so crazy i feel like i've never actually done this but i really don't want you guys to get mascara on your skin so this is going to help you avoid that completely just wiggle the area that you want the mascara to be in now we're going to apply some blush i know i applied some cream blush but i want to really lock it in and bring that flush of color back to my cheeks so i'm going to take blushing which is this shade right here and a little bit of soft and sweet and just sweep that on the cheeks back into the hairline i like to bring it around the temple as well and then across the nose this is totally optional i've just been doing this for the past year i don't know why but i really like it once we've applied the blush then you're done with your face you're completely done but you always want to go back in with your beauty blender to make sure everything is blended nicely so you don't know where anything starts and finishes it just kind of blends together perfectly so go over everything use the big side of the blender and just go over all of your face to really blend everything in if you feel like you need a little bit more coverage under the eyes you can get your beauty blender go into the shades that you want and just press it into the areas if you feel like you need a little bit more brightness i feel like i do and i kind of want to bring down that contour a little bit so i'm going to tap it into the contour area of my nose and that is the entire face now an extra step that i like to do to make sure that everything is really locked in is take a setting spray so i'm going to be using this one from benefit this is the porefessional super setter this is going to help your makeup last all day it's going to lock everything in you have to powder your makeup isn't going anywhere once you get a good setting spray so this one i like because it feels weightless it softens the look of larger pores and if you have a little bit too much powder on you can just spritz this on it'll make your skin look like skin again so i'm gonna just spritz that on really quick foliate your lips beforehand use like a sugar scrub or you can also use this this is the mac prep and prime you can really feel the moisture on your lips as soon as you apply it it's very it glides on so easy but it also has a gripping effect to it so any color that you put on top of this is going to last just makes your lips feel really really smooth too so this is a good one this is called prep in prime lip and then after that i'll take a natural for me i like natural tones so i'm going to take the dulce lip liner but here you can use any lip color you want i just like to define my lip line a little bit and then go in with a gloss i like a natural nudie tone for like every day i also like to make sure that this area of my lip personally is a little more fuller and higher up and then the sides are just more natural some people like to make the sides a little bigger i feel like it looks more natural if you just let it be and then after you have your lip liner on then i'm going to take a gloss i'm going to be using the fenty beauty pinch me the luscious lip balm and i'm going to take that i'm going to use that as my gloss right over the top any kind of gloss on your lips can make your lips look a little more full and it just looks it just looks really pretty so i love like gloss on the center of my lips they're all over hydrated glossy lips are my thing so now our eyelashes have dried so i'm going to go back in with this eyelash curler and again start at the base and then work our way up and bam your eyelashes are going to be so curly i absolutely love this combo so i'm going to take a brown liner so that you don't see the skin on my eye i'm going to lift my eye up and this is called tightlining so i'm gonna take it and put the eyeliner on the inside of my eye so i'm gonna do it on this one without talking and we just tight lined our eyes and that is our finished look [Music] i hope you really enjoyed this video and if
