10 MAKEUP TIPS I wish I knew WAY sooner 😮

Hey everyone, so in today's video, I am giving you 10 Honestly by the end of this video is probably more like 30 Makeup tips for you guys out of tips within tips within tips. We are talking about Stallow winter skin. We're talking about pimples even dry pimples and how to cover them We're talking about hollow under eyes But really we're talking about ways in which we apply makeup The differences in technique are often so subtle what make the most insane impact So I hope you guys enjoy it If you found it valuable definitely make sure to give this video a thumbs up and let us Begin my first tip for you guys is to go ahead clean hands Feel your skin feel how it's feeling. Does it feel tight? Does it feel oily? Really don't be afraid to do a good skin check and getting in touch with your body in that way Because makeup isn't just something that goes on top of the skin your skin prep and your makeup really are One I already put on all my skincare today. It's been hours. My skin is dry It is just dry here. That means I have to go back to skin prep again So just because you already dig your skincare routine You already did skin prep if you're waiting all that time your skin can easily dry out or go oily again I am putting on some lip balm. This is the notarium phyto glow lip balm. This is just the clear which is my most used I talk a lot about the tinted ones, but I Love this just as a tinted lip product So putting on a lip balm at the beginning of your routine is going to make everything at the end of the routine with your lips Goes so much smoother. So so my skin is feeling incredibly dehydrated and that is when I would go in with my Haru Haru wonder Probiotics barrier essence a lot of you guys already know my love of this product But for skin prep, this is an incredibly fluid Milky essence toner this plays beautifully under makeup this does a really good job while being so fluidly lightweight the skin around my nose that is very dry right now is Already feeling less dry But if you know like if you put on a couple of layers of your milky toner and you can just still feel like your Skin needs more. This is a little hack that I wanted to share with you guys It's that I often do a little face mask of my set of film moisturizing cream back in the day I think it was reading Vogue or allure I had heard that a lot of makeup artists like to prep model skin with Vaseline like an Aquaphor or a petroleum jelly or an aquaphor kind of okay You gotta go dude, it is not the day for you to be in here Alright They often prep the model skin with a Vaseline or an aquaphor mask and then take off the excess Because it just leaves this really lovely glow and really Quickly and parts a lot of hydration. So I do the same thing except with a really rich cream. So That is what I'm talking about when I talk about a rich cream And this actually has like the third ingredient is petrol autumn, but it also has water and glycerin So to me, it's just like a more comfortable version of that hack My next little hack if you will for you guys is to before you even put on Makeup after your skin prep is to consider what you're really going for in a perfect world It would be amazing if I could get full coverage right now That looks dewy and hydrated and is going to magically last like 24 hours for me It's almost like you guys know those little like triangles where it's like you can only choose two For me in that little triangle. It's good coverage to a Natural look and three for it to last long though I think there are those kind of gold star products that will give you a lot of those things And we'll talk about some of those I personally think that it's important to look at your makeup stash and Prioritize what actually means the most to you So if you want your skin to give good coverage and last a long time But you're not as concerned with it looking really natural. You can actually take like a very different approach like longevity in makeup is a Completely different approach in my personal opinion to something that is going to give you coverage and look natural I personally would rather my makeup last Even a couple to three hours less, but when it is looking good It looks good and my skin looks natural rather than the makeup kind of last all day But it not necessarily Make my skin sing. That's always what I like to describe it as I want my skin to sing I want my skin to feel good. I want there to be a radiance So what I've really been liking to do is use a concealer under my foundation For certain spots like this and then going to the under eye concealer after I put on foundation So this is the salt New York best case concealer and I usually just take it with a kind of Dense brush like this if you have more oily skin I would recommend using something like the NARS soft matte Concealer and this one is going to give you a little bit more longevity Something like the best case concealer. I think is a little bit better for dry skin so I Am just I'm tapping this on like super lightly until that redness Has gone away One tip that I also love to do Is I always take my tongue under the surface of my skin like in my mouth because often I get a lot of pigmentation Here so it actually flattens out the pimple so that I'm getting all sides of it And again, I could go for like a full-on Completely matte concealer, but this kind of concealer is not going to look as natural on a very dry breakout Which we already mentioned this is a very dry breakout and I'm gonna do the same thing on this pimple up here It's actually not a pimple anymore. It's just A post acne mark. So as we go ahead and get into foundation I wanted to kind of walk through some foundations with you guys with makeup tips, you know Especially during the winter time if I want my makeup to have some longevity But I still want my skin to look as natural as possible I'm probably going with something like the Natasha Denona high glam or the NARS light reflecting Foundation these are very very similar. I don't think you can really go wrong with either. I do think that the NARS is Slightly more dewy and hydrating than the Natasha Denona, but this is also a slightly thinner So there are some people I think that would prefer that about it I have dry skin and I really enjoy both but when my skin is like super super dry Even so much so that it's like flaking I will almost exclusively go with the cosmetic CC cream this is one of the only products that looks good on flaking skin and It's a really good option. If you don't want to add concealer at all because it has so much coverage personally for me I still think that that product is a banger for a good reason. I didn't want to call out a product though and this Potentially could be a bad idea. But if you've been on my channel for a long time And this is bringing me back because I haven't talked about this product in years the Shiseido synchro skin self-refreshing and radiant lifting foundation I recently saw these I believe it was that I want to see it was sacks I'm gonna leave a link down below, but I saw that there were shades in stock and it confused me because I could have sworn that this was Discontinued I I still have to figure that out. I reached out to them like a year ago and they never replied to me Actually now remember how I said that to be realistic with our makeup We should probably be choosing between it looking very natural it giving us coverage and giving us longevity for me personally I think it's good to choose between those two if your skin is feeling very problematic it still breaks my heart every time I look at them because this is a product that is Consistently refreshing itself throughout the day So if you get the radiant version it kind of like rehydrates itself as you wear it and if you get the synchro skin Personally, I feel like it kind of distributes the oils in a way that makes it more long wearing like for combination skin This is I just I feel like they're I feel like this is like kind of made for combination skin I have dry skin and I love it But the radiant is way more geared towards me personally So today I'm going to use the shade 140 porcelain and when my skin is like super super super dry I actually really do like a sponge And I'm just tapping on a thin layer and I do think that especially for beginners Sponges are great because they're not like you don't have to spend a lot of money on them Like this whole pack of AOA sponges I think it's around $10, but it also teaches another tip and hack that I really preach on my channel Which is to press your product into the skin rather than rub it around Especially when you are dealing with dryness on the skin flaking when you tap a product in you're actually not disturbing any of the texture on Your skin it also helps to not disturb any hair if you have hair on your face Which most of us do and it's really helping any of these skincare on your face Absorb and mesh with the makeup now something that I am noticing in particular Is that the foundation is not really wanting to stick to this area? And I think it's just because the salt Newark texture is quite It's dewy it has like quite an emollients to it and the Shiseido is quite thin So when something like that happens, this can be like a tip within a tip Typically something that I think usually works is taking like a smidge of your foundation so that's like all I'm using taking more concealer and Mixing the two on the back of your hand. So you're kind of forming a new texture This is ultimately the texture that you are going for and then Just tapping that on and I am noticing Already that that is playing so much better together Usually that works really well and it worked well Um because you're just kind of doing the work for the makeup the makeup doesn't even have to do anything at that point The tools don't have to do anything because you're kind of doing the alchemy for them speaking of alchemy We're going to be doing a little bit of concealer mixing again together Because I think that we should be mixing our color corrector into our concealer. This is another tip I talk about a lot on my channel So I'm using the Kosas corrector and the concealer today because it is my go-to During the winter time now, you can see this is the shade illusion That is my color corrector and that is my concealer This is the shade 1.5 from Kosas and honestly that shade I think does a pretty good job Because it has a little bit of like a little slight slight bit of pink I mean pink by Kosas standards, which typically they lean yellow as a whole but when I mix the two together, that's what I'm kind of getting a little bit more of Of a shade that in my opinion in my opinion will help to conceal the color Much better. So what I've been doing this is a little bit of a change-up to my typical routine Is that it looks like a lot. It's actually not quite as much as it looks on camera I like to take a thin layer of that all Over. Yeah, that's the color corrective shade So I'm taking it all over and that thin layer and this alone I feel like I could just like I'm good but for a little bit of brightening now I'll go back in with my original shade and I've been enjoying taking that Right into the hollow So typically I would kind of do the opposite would add the color corrector only into the exact hollow but as of late I feel like doing the color corrector all over and then adding the highlight right into the hollow is actually been working really well And I also don't think anyone should be using a highlight shade. That's like multiple shades lighter than your actual skin tone 1.5 C is like maybe a half a shade lighter for me if I want to help the hollowness under my eyes Doing an insanely bright under eyes actually really drawing attention to the hollowness for me personally when I want to feel a little Bit more put together Or I just feel like my skin overall is looking kind of sallow. I Often will kind of focus on shaping my face pretty subtly, but I do think that Oftentimes I'll kind of feel the need to skip like a shaping Part of my routine, but I actually think it's really helpful to feel like nothing is kind of sagging obviously like Sagging all of these like problems we talked about are very normal and natural but sometimes I feel like when I have a little bit of shape if I have like a little bit of a cheekbone if I Have some definition it does make everything look a little bit less flat and a little bit less Sullen Because I think when our skin is feeling sullen everything kind of becomes like one note a little bit dull And when you're adding shape back, you're taking away From that one note kind of dullness So I'm just taking the light shade of the makeup by Mario shaping stick that shade I think it's a really nice shade for fair skin This is a tip that is going to really transform a lot of your makeup routines So I'm first going to use more of a beige blush This is a blush that is very very very natural Um, this is the shade bear muse and I want you guys to see what kind of shade this is as it's next to The makeup by Mario you see how it's very pink Beigey these kind of like pink beigey blushes on me still read as a blush because it has that pink Pop to it. So but this one was specifically designed for for light olive skin tones And I just really really enjoy it on me. So you see how I'm just tapping that over the cheeks It is not looking like we have really blush on but what I think it's kind of doing is it's starting to harmonize everything It kind of feels like a cross between a blush and a bronzer and acting as that first layer between The bronzer and then going on to those areas where the blush is going to be it feels like to me It's automatically making everything synergize and look really really natural This is kind of what I talk about when I talk about a one-and-done blush I feel like sometimes I could just skip bronzer and just go with a shade like this You have more of a medium to deep skin tone I will kind of go with a little bit more of a terracotta shade another option for that one-and-done blush I've really been enjoying its gale From Glossier me this one works a little bit more for my skin tone I feel really really love that shade love this formula this formula and these so she By the way, this so she shade is called bear Muse. These are just two blushes. I've been really really loving but now We're going to use a brightening shade So if I just used a brightening shade, sometimes I feel like it might look too stark But because we've kind of added this beige blush as a base All of this is kind of melting together in a really lovely way You can't really see where the product and the color starts and stops and now we're just gonna add some Dimension and some brightness and color with the lily by red Love beam cheek balm now for specifically for a more warm skin tone a coral like this looks really Lovely, I want to show you what happens when I put this kind of like when I smile my apple The cheek is here. I like to go a little bit higher for lift so take your blush right above the apple of the cheek and Then put that brightening color right there And do you guys see the difference Over here like the lift and the color that that gives the cheeks same thing right there And even I want to make it a little bit more intense. You can take it up with the brush You can just kind of tap that all in you have this beautiful Blush draped look now, of course, I'm gonna do something that I think looks really lovely It's kind of polarizing, but I have done this for years on my channel. I think some of you enjoy it as well I always take a little bit of my blush And I put it across the bridge of my nose. I've always loved that like 80s Ralph Lauren polo sunburnt kind of effect and it kind of like I don't know kind of like reminds me of that as well and I know a Lot of us like to set our face as always my main tip and recommendation is to set the face In the areas where you feel like the makeup moves the most not necessarily all over now I think all over can look nice, but especially during the winter when things are feeling super dry I like to kind of I don't like to set. Oh my god. Can you imagine? Setting this area of my nose. It is so dry already. I don't care how amazing this powder is I don't want to set that area on me for me. I'm taking it just right here and up Into that hollowness and watch what it does It kind of flattens out that area and makes everything look more flush You see how that kind of like Magically Made that hollowness look less apparent, but I'm not like baking the whole under eye so you can see it again right here Taking it here All the way up this does such a good job of Flattening out everything. I'm not even gonna set those pimples though, because honestly, they're so dry. I don't want to put powder there and then usually I'll kind of Do the jaw a little bit if anything with this powder just cuz it kind of makes everything look a little bit cleaner but I think it's important to set the makeup with a spray now and Also set it at the end. So this is one of my new airbrush flawless setting sprays from Charlotte Tilbury you guys know how much I love this one These are way easier for travel and it's just a better deal than the really large one And yeah, if I want to set my face without it looking super dry this time of year This will actually set the face But it won't look like dry and like you just poured alcohol over your face. So for me, I do think it's difficult to find setting sprays that both set the face and Melt everything together in a really hydrated way Now with the brows, this is what I typically do if I am feeling like in general my face could use a little bit of lift. I take my eyebrows really sky-high and I work with this shape rather than something that is More like that because already you see this is giving so much more lift when you have the brows basically straight up So this is what I'm working off of and then I'm filling in gaps based on this shape So when my eyebrows are up like this I personally notice that the most kind of sparse areas are under my brow and That because I brush them up I'm not seeing a lot of sparseness necessarily on the top anymore so what I'll do is I Often just take a brow Pencil and run that under I just fill in those areas, but we're working with a brow that is Fluffed upwards to just kind of give us like a natural lift now this technique that I'm using to fill in my brows Might not necessarily work for you if you have a lot of sparseness But if you do for example have sparseness I can show you I would then work on more hair like strokes like this and Work them upwards continue to create that lift. But for me, I Don't feel like I need too much like hair work. I Need more of just like an overall Shading and I always take my spoolie and run through them and when I'm setting my brows I'm doing the same thing. I'm Taking the hairs and pushing them upwards I think that this can kind of add a bit of a lift my next tip for you guys is when you go in to do your eyeshadow to Really choose your powders wisely if you were skinning like your eyelids look fine when you have your concealer on But the minute you put on your eyeshadow palette, it starts to look really dry and creepy There might be a chance that the eyeshadows themselves are quite dry So this one from Clio is just for me Really really lovely as almost setting palette like almost think of this as soft setting powders for the eyes that also add Some color like these aren't the most pigmented I don't think that they're going to work for everyone depending on what your need is But I just really really enjoy them So even this deeper color because of how soft and finely milled it is It just like it's blending out Itself and also I'm using a fluffier brush. So Like I'm trying to get that diffused look already from the jump But do you see how it just adds that really lovely shape my next tip for you guys As far as eyeshadows for me personally This is something that I like to do is I'll take an eyeshadow Like this is a highlight shade in my opinion that someone might typically put on the brow bone, but it's matte I always like to take a shade like that right on the inner portion of my lid. I Personally find it really opens up the entire eye area You can blend like after that and make everything look a little bit more seamless but for me Sometimes I skip setting powder in this area completely and I just use a matte kind of bone shade in this area And it just makes the entire eye area open up and then I can go back in and choose my other shades and mix the two together these just kind of like I Again, I think because this kind of palette is so subtle. It's just not gonna be for everyone But for me, I just think the textures are so so so lovely I'm gonna take this flat eyeshadow brush with that brown shade and kind of concentrate it into the lashes On the outer corner a little bit. I don't think I'm gonna do like a wing like I usually do I almost just want the lashes to look a little bit thicker here Because this shade is more of like a reddish brown And it really pops green eyes, too Which I always I mean, I always enjoy now next what I like to do is always always always use a lash curler This is the Shiseido Eyelash curler and I go in for one curl, but then at the end I'll go back and do a second especially on this side I feel like I have one lash that like is Much shorter than the others. So I kind of like to get that one curled as much as possible Now for the lashes something that I like to do when I'm applying my mascara I like to focus my wand at the root of the lash. I like to look down First into the mirror because this helps get the entire lash the lashes like It's just they become more available when you're looking down rather than here. Sometimes I feel like we're only getting the top of the lash so this is the first coat I'll just comb through By the way, this is the suede pro lash lift. I love this mascara mascara can actually really change Your eye shape just like eyeliner can so if you really want more of a rounded effect I say look straight into your mirror and look at where your pupil is and really focus a lot of mascara Right above your pupil. So like for me, it would be here So I'd be focusing a lot of my mascara right here. That's gonna kind of give you a very round look. It's really gonna lift the eye in that area, but I really like To focus a lot of the mascara on the outer lashes and this kind of gives you almost like a cat eye effect without putting on like a liquid liner or Drawing a wing So even just a couple of swipes outward like this You see how it like really changed my eye shape like all of a sudden my eyes look a little bit more almond esque But if I decided oh, I don't I don't like that. I could always just kind of move them up, but I'm also going to Put a little bit more right above my pupil If I want to make them look a little bit more round again, you see what I did there and doing the combination of A wing and the lash look right above the pupil That is what I call like an angel lash Look angel lashes to me have this really fluttery kind of quality. They're not necessarily more Sharp like a cat eye and they're not really round They're kind of like a mix between the two so when I talk about mascaras kind of giving you that angel lash Look, that's what I'm talking about It's almost like an eye shape thing as well as like a fluffiness to the lash itself Then I will tightline now. This is controversial Because if you do this and your mascara hasn't set sometimes the lashes will stick together but with this mascara See, I kind of did it there and I had no issues so I just did a quick tightline and Tightlining is something that I think a lot of us skip and I don't even know if this is enough as like for a tip But like tightline try it out. I love the closest I love the closest one, especially for beginners because it's so soft finally For the lips. I have my Jones Road liner in nudist. I always take My sponge and just tap out my lip lines a little bit so I can be more crisp Here's what I actually have been doing as far as lining my lips. I always go a little bit below Here because this is the area That's the one area that people are not gonna notice you over lining in my opinion Like look at that does that look like I've over lined I mean maybe right now because I haven't done the rest but watch See it is barely over lined there And then the rest I'm just sticking to the lip line You guys see how that really doesn't look like I over lined my lips. It just looks like my lips are more pouty That is why that little area is really the only place I find myself over lining these days And then I'm taking my flea Lip gloss in scotch 70% just like Such a perfect neutral This is more hydrating than a lot of those viral lip balms that everyone is using and this is the complete look those were my 10 Tips for you guys my little hacks.
