Leslie Grace’s Guide to Low-Key Glam Makeup and Second-Day Blowouts

hey i'm leslie grace and today i'm going to show you guys how i get ready my skincare routine a little light glam some glowy skin maybe a little something on the eye and some of my tips and tricks that i've recruited from my salon mama so let's get into it we're gonna get this hair out the way because we don't get into this face into the skin girls i used to have a lot of trouble with acne and i have to stay on my skin the more that i apply to my skin the more it's like susceptible to have all these different reactions but something that's really important for me is cleansing properly i love double cleansing i love like i won't i'm almost like intense about it a little bit i love this this um this cleansing oil because it breaks up whatever makeup i have on my face and we're gonna use my little foreo machine that's like nice and uh vibrates and gets everything out i mean i will swear and live by this thing so now we're gonna move on to exfoliating so this is from tatcha and it's a little like rice polish and i've been using it lately because it's it's nice and fine it's not crazy abrasive it was actually really bad uh with the discipline of my skin and then i started to have a lot of like cystic acne and then i met my amazing dermatologist next step is one of my favorites i recently got into like steaming i got this personal steamer for myself by dennis gross some of fridays it is the jet lag mask and that is exactly what i love it for sometimes i even put this on right before i get on a flight if i have no makeup on and i just like the whole flight just soak it up after i have it on i love to get that steamer going one more time and just really let it settle in just rinsed it off with cold water because i want my pores to lock in all of that moisture that i just got from that fabulous mask we are ready to move forward to step number 600 we're going to use this serum that i love so much renewed hope and i mix it in it's from philosophy i mix it in with another um philosophy product which is a sea boost i find that it brightens up my skin so much especially when i'm feeling like my skin is feeling dull and i've just been working a lot or haven't been sleeping well this combo right here i swear by i've been doing it for years yes i like to rub it right now with my fingers oh it feels so good and it smells so good oh uh one of my makeup artists gifted me this it's kept my face like supple and like i don't know bouncy so i put it on every morning oh we looking see i feel the bounce i feel the life coming back the reason why i have multiple is because i feel like they all do different things for my for my skin i love this elemis i don't know how you say this so this last one you'll see you can even see in the texture it's a little more of a cream um it looks like more of a moisturizer and makes sense because it's supposed to resurface your your skin so i love the combo of those three [Music] next step is an eye cream this product i never leave this out even if i don't have time to do anything else in my day spf i love the cetaphil you can find this anywhere and i've been using it literally since i've been in high school someone like me with freckles i really um get splotches easily i really take spf serious girl [Music] all right so now that our face is nice and moisturized we are going to move into my favorite part of the day makeup we're going to prime with my trusted and true touch-up i learned through osmosis how important it is to not only take time for yourself but the importance and the sacredness of like sharing a moment where women are empowering how beautiful they are i grew up around glam glam women i picked up a couple tricks definitely for hair but also for makeup i love this foundation that guy swear by full coverage i love to apply uh this foundation with a brush because i feel like i could just work it into my skin a lot better so i like to kind of match the rest of my body's skin tone on my face first for my base and then i'll start to bring out everything else with highlighter concealer so this is our base right now my relationship with makeup like a lot of us started with me wanting to cover up and through you know again growing up in a salon and seeing how other women did their makeup i started to learn like oh makeup is and hair and all of these things clothes all these things that we use um to express ourselves there are adornments for what you already have i can feel more comfortable with less and less makeup on and i can let my freckles show that used to be a thing that was like oh cover them up because freckles are different and they're i don't know they look different now i like love them next step concealer we're gonna set this lightly this is just a powder that i like to use i like to set with um a brush as well because i don't like to be super duper mad i like some of the glow to come through so i don't go crazy for under the eye i like to use a lighter or more translucent setting powder i like to use it right under my eyes my mom is like a quick makeup gal she's like i'm putting the lipstick on the cheek and on the lid you know my dd chanel she's a full blown makeup artist but she also knows how to do a quick essential look we're all different which you know all women are different uh but culturally like i feel like we're always dominican women are always trying to find the way that they can cut the corner and get the same look there's a phrase that my mom says which means like you can't see it from the airplane which obviously it doesn't translate into english that well but my dominicans watching will know if your nails broken you can't see it from up there they won't be able to notice you know so we find ways to cut corners where you won't be able to tell the difference and i think that's something that that i like to call ingenuity so next step is browse i've always had really full brows and i've almost been a little bit insecure about them throughout my life and then i started really taking care of them and shaping them the way that i wanted to and kind of keeping them full now full browser in my favorite bronzer sculptor shadow i'll use her for everything hula benefit so i'm gonna get in here you see how beloved she is she's running out too to further the bronze i love this little palette and this is a little more of a like orangey vibe to bring in some more of that warmth and then i like to mix some of the bronze with the blush because i i like it i don't know i feel like now you're working with a full almost ombre ish like you know mix of colors face instead of just pink brown shadow you know we don't want to compartmentalize our face with this same palette sometimes depending on how fast i'm moving and what i have in my hand so i'll just go in a little bit on my nose i'm going to go in with the hula since it's a good little shadow e tone i love me some pat mcgrath we're to go in with a little bit darker some a little just a little bit of this right here something that i learned from my teepee this is a skill like learning how to turn the brush into the corners especially at this part of your eye will affect how well the shadow takes to your eyelid i'm gonna use a little bit of this gold and a little bit of this shimmery one for the center of my eye i'm going to tap that out right there i want to add just a little bit more iridescence at the center of my eyes here this is uh my new favorite mascara it's called uh unleashed i am i'm now in love with these uh lashes that i've been using for some time lashify and they just like make life so much easier which is so cute it's like this little mascara that you just put at the root of your lash now that we've got our lashes on we're gonna just set everything with a perfecter like that just gives you that airbrushed look and i love me some charlie like airbrushed flawless finish it's so good so we're gonna just bring that right back in you're gonna see how that's gonna be so photo ready and then there's one more step i like to take before we move on to lips it's also a finishing step for me it's a little bit of that iridescent uh bronzer touch and highlighter we're gonna add her in on the corners and this gives also like this really nice just finish of like glow put some on my lips sometimes before we start going another hourglass highlighter just go right in this lip sleeping mask i know it's a cult classic but i love it and anytime that i'm about to do my lips i usually put it on i realize my lips are looking chapped huda beauty love huda beauty i like to mix a lot of uh a lot of lip liners to get the color that i want a little bit darker on the edge just a little bit nice little nude and i'm just gonna tap it in and there you have it darling we're gonna just retouch this blow-dry a new tool that i've incorporated uh into my routine is this amazing dyson so i'm just gonna refresh this and then we're gonna give her some body and then we're gonna go off into our day olaplex uh leave-in it's like a bond smoother and if there's one thing i learned from my mom and from growing up in a salon is that you really do want to find those products that work for your hair everybody's hair texture is different i like to add just for the edges again this product it's called mega man girl moisture milk and i like to put some of that in there and some for those flyaways up top not too much because i like the volume last step is um this argan oil i just like to finish off with loading my hair up with moisture again but i put just a little drop sometimes i even put this on my skin and it's like my body a little bit here and stuff this is the final look i hope that you've enjoyed hanging with me and this has been fun bye
