Makeup I Find Incredibly Chic (with inspo)

Hi guys, welcome back. Today I decided to make a list of makeup that I find very chic. When I think of makeup that is chic, I think of like that clean girl, effortless, timeless, just very youthful, natural looking makeup. I think it's definitely the trend lately to be very natural and just enhancing your own features as opposed to covering them up. So grab a snack, get comfortable because we're going to We're going to talk about makeup that is chic. So number one on my list for makeup that I find chic, mixing your base with skincare. I love taking like a Dior foundation stick and an ilia milk or any type of face milk, something that's dewy, moisturizing, and creamy, and I love to mix that as a base. When it comes to a skincare base, I want something that's really enhancing but not completely concealing. I don't like too much coverage. I have a lot of, I don't know if you you would call these like beauty marks or freckles, but I want those to shine through because Because that's what makes me me, so I'm never really trying to completely cover anything I have going on with my skin. The next thing is using creams and not powders. I have always had a thing against powders, mainly because I feel like they get cakey and they look unnatural. I love creams because you can still get a good amount of coverage, something that you still feel pretty in and it's enhancing your skin and it's still giving you a little bit glowy look but it doesn't look like you have five layers of makeup on your skin. I love creams because again you get that coverage you get that natural effortless skin look and it almost looks like nothing's on. That's kind of what I go for and not only that but you really can control the coverage of creams more than you can powders. I feel like if you want a lot of coverage with a powder and you keep packing it on you can't really control so much how that looks on the skin but But with a cream, you can really blend. Blend it in. It can look more like skin. I just think like that natural, effortless, embracing your own skin is so chic. I think it's more about not necessarily what you're wearing, but how you're wearing it. The way that you're exuding yourself when you walk around and the confidence that you have. People are going to see that a lot more than whatever product you have on your face. And so for me, creams are doing that. Creams are giving me that confidence when I walk around. The next thing on my list that I think is super chic is using a contour that is is truly a contour and it usually has like gray or cool undertones to it. The one that I love right now is the Westman Atelier Contour in Biscuit. Using a contour that has that cooler undertone is truly meant to look like shadows on your face and it's not giving you that overly orange look. A lot of bronzers that I've used or I've seen people use tend to just have those really warm undertones because that's what it's meant to do. It's meant to be a bronzer. It's meant to give you kind of that sunkissed look, which is beautiful, but when it comes to actually truly creating like shape on your face and lift, I love using one that is actually meant to do that. I feel like when I'm putting this one on specifically, you can barely even tell that I have contour on my face. It just really highlights all the spots of my face where I get that natural shape and that natural lift. It's just so pretty. I think for the longest time, I always tried to fight my own biology or my own color palette. I really wanted to be super tan and I wanted to wear the super bright colors that I feel like go more towards people with olive-y skin tones or tanner skin tones. But as I've gotten older and I've matured into realizing, hey, my color palette is actually a little bit more muted, it's a little bit more cooler toned, I find that it just looks so much better. I'm like no longer fighting my color palette, which was hard for me. me to do for the longest time because I refused to be cool toned. I refused to use colors that were a little bit more muted but now that I've done that I just feel so much more natural and glowy and chic and like me but better. I think everything with makeup should really be about enhancing what you already have. I understand wanting to fall in a certain color palette but I think when you really find what actually looks best on you and you embrace that that's when you look the most demure. You look the most beautiful. You look the most you. I just think that honestly Embracing yourself and embracing your own color palette and embracing what's natural about you is super chic. I also think contour wands are super chic right now when it comes to makeup. The reason I love a contour wand is because you have so much more control over the amount of product that you're using. You really get more from less, if that makes sense. You don't have to put way too much product on your face and you still get the shape, you still get the contour. I love that you can actually truly play with getting a lift to your face and really being able to draw on exactly where you want that makeup to fall. Without having to swipe on so much product. Sometimes when you're using like bigger products that have a wider base, you get a lot more product. But when you're using a wand, you can actually just truly draw it on exactly how you want it to go. And you can get like a lot more of that lift to your face. And I do love their rose bronzers. But I love to just apply the tiniest bit. Because I think looking sunkissed is chic. Obviously, you don't need to overdo it. But having a little bit of that like bronzy glow is pretty. I think it's just about how much. How much you put on and like knowing what looks best on you, again, it kind of goes back to like embracing what looks good on you, the chic. When it comes to makeup styles, I just think that just fit in like Flushy rosy pinky look is so chic. I've seen this all over Pinterest. I've seen on Hailey Bieber, Aisha Potter, a ton of beautiful influencers and celebrities and honestly just on a ton of people. It looks so pretty and I just love that it looks natural and youthful and flushed. I love to use Rhode and Toasted Teddy and Rhode and Piggy to get this natural rosy just bit. flushed look and I do probably like one dot of each. The thing about Rhode that is so nice is that there's like a ton of pigment with these so a little bit goes a long way and it's just so pretty. This is truly like the you know how like in school you get embarrassed and you kind of like flush. It's like that natural pretty effortless flush that almost looks like you're not wearing makeup but you are. It's just like this Pretty rosy pink look. I love this so much. I've been adoring it recently. And I think for fall, it's just perfect. I love this. Another thing I think is truly chic is applying blush to the nose, kind of giving like that sun-kissed sunburnt look because when you think about it, when you go out in the sun and you get sunburnt, you do get a little bit rosy on your nose and I think it really just ties makeup all together so well. With this one I like to just do like a tiny bit of the toasted teddy and a tiny bit of the piggy and just apply it right here. The thing that I love about What I love about makeup is it's not a one-size-fits-all. Every person is so unique. Every face. and skin type and face shape and undertone is so different. You don't have to wear any one certain thing, but you really get to play with it. You get to decide like what makes my face look best, what actually emphasizes my best features. I think when you truly become confident in what you know looks best on you and you walk around with that confidence and you wear it and you just get to embrace who you are and how you look. I think that's so chic and I just love that makeup really brings out that creativity in people. that I think is super chic is not wearing too much mascara. I used to be the girl that would pack like five layers of mascara on and make my lashes like really big, but as I've gotten a little bit older and I feel like I've matured into makeup looks that I really love, I just love having a very natural eye and maybe a little bit enhanced, but just not too much. I just don't like caterpillar eyes, which is what I feel like I used to do for myself all the time. So for my eyes, I love this body mascara by Maybelline Lash, and I literally just like the tiniest bit of it on my eyelashes. My eyelashes are already pretty dark, so I'm pretty happy with how they are. One thing that I do love to do for my eyes that I feel like is very subtle is I take this Westman Atelier bronzer, and I just like go in this corner part of my eyes, and then I take a nice fluffy brush, and I just kind of like drag it in a little bit. It's so faint that I feel like you almost can't tell it's there. It does kind of shape and emphasize that part of my eye and I do love that. I think a bold lip over a bold eye is super chic. I love the looks when people have like these matte lips or even these glossy lips that are just very big and plush and plump and you're looking at the face and it's just like Like the lip is just like, it's there. You know, I think using right now lip stains is super chic. This one is the Huda Beauty and it is in Rosewood. So what I've been doing is just lightly lining my lips with this and I love to smudge it out with my finger. I think honestly, not having a harsh line and smudging out your lip products with your finger is so chic. Sometimes I like to take this and just make it a little thick on the cupid's bow and it stays all day. Love that. The next thing that I love to do is taking like I have another contour wand. This one is in the shade Rhubarb and then this is my Rhode in the shade lift and I really love to use both of these to kind of emphasize the shape. Lift is kind of like a neutral cool pink so I feel like it contours well and then this one is kind of like a mauvey pinky. It almost comes off like maybe a little bit of like a browny color. So pretty and then again. Love to take this and kind of pat it in to get a little bit of a smudged effect and I love to sometimes leave my lips matte but you can also add a gloss. Two glosses that I've been obsessed with as of recent is this Rhode one in macadamia butter or this Eden one that is in sakura. Rhode is more if you want kind of a brownie lip and then I would say sakura is more if you're going for like that pinky lip. Right now I think I'm feeling a little bit more of a brownie lip. And also, it smells so good. Oh, another thing I think is chic. I think a lip gloss that smells good is so chic. I think, like, honestly, having a lip product that smells good and would leave someone remembering your kiss, I think that's chic. I'm just loving, like, a bolder lip. And honestly, taking care of yourself and having a good relationship with how you feel about yourself and the way that you look is what embodies all of the chic things. And whatever that is for you, I think that's what you should be embracing. So I hope that you guys loved this video.
