 So for the first step I'm going to be moisturizing my face and this for me is so important because I actually have super dry skin Like I used to have eczema and I still kind of have some like on my upper lip and sometimes even my eyelid can get really dry So I make sure to create a nice even base for my foundation. If you do have oily skin I recommend any gel based moisturizers I actually like gel moisturizers better because it doesn't feel as like sticky as normal Moisturizers do but since I do have dry skin. I need that moisture So this cream that I'm using today is actually like an overnight hydrating cream But it's like the only one that I have that is from like the drugstore or like Ulta I think it was like under $10 and this is from formula 10.0.6. It is called the PM Perfector so I'm just gonna apply a very even coat of this moisturizer So next we're gonna move on to foundation when you're starting off with makeup I definitely recommend any like easy applicator or any powder foundation today I'm actually gonna try out a new foundation for me. It is the L'Oreal True Mesh Loomy Cushion I've heard a lot about this so I was kind of intrigued and I wanted to try it out Basically, it's like a sponge that has like the foundation in it And then you just put this applicator in and like soak it up and then apply it to your face That's why I wanted to try this one out because it is going to be a fast and easy application unlike any liquid foundation I feel like you would have to sit there blending it in with your beauty blender for like a good three minutes And if we can save some time why not so I am hoping this is my color because they didn't really have that great of a color selection So we will try it out and see It's kind of like It's kind of like ashy almost Yeah, I don't know. I feel like I'm more of like a yellow Like I don't know. This was like the darkest one they had guys and this is in the color and Four buff beige. This is literally the darkest one. They have okay So I'm making it an executive decision And I'm just gonna stop this and return it because obviously this is not a good color to my skin So I do have some drugstore foundations in my makeup collection But they aren't any kind of like powder or easy application They are liquid so I'm actually gonna take off this foundation really quick and Get into my other drugstore foundation that sucks that that failed but good thing CVS has a good return policy So right now we're gonna be taking L'Oreal infallible total cover in the color 309 Caramel beige And we're just gonna put this on a beauty blender And I know I literally just said that beauty blenders take a while but this is all I got so please bear with me But like I said, I do recommend any type of powder or just like really easy applicator Just like as that wimmy cushion one it just you know the color did not work out for me And that's why I recommend going to Ulta because they usually have like testers even for their drugstore Products and I went to CVS and they didn't have any testers So I could like not even see what color I was in anything So it's a good thing that they do have that return policy because that kind of sucked so this matches a little bit better It is pretty yellow But I actually I don't know I like this color and sometimes the color isn't gonna match right when you put it on Sometimes it needs time to like maybe like soak in some foundations oxidize Which means they get darker and we will be layering products such as blush or if you want to add bronzer It can bronze up your face It definitely looks scary right when you put on foundation without anything else on But don't worry because it's all gonna come together in the end if you're using foundation That's a little bit darker than your actual skin You definitely want to blend it down into the jawline because you don't want to have like a tan line I don't know I used to see that all the time in like middle school and high school I'm like just wanted to like get a beauty blender to their face and blend it out for them But so as you can see it does take a little bit of time blending this out So that's why I did recommend any powder product So if I were to use a powder foundation, you don't really need to set it and honestly like this foundation is drying really well So I don't feel like I need to set it either So we are going to go straight into adding some color on her face I am gonna skip bronzer and contouring because I feel like that is not really beginner So we're just gonna do blush for today So I picked up this elf palette to play around with and I got it in the color dark And I'm gonna be honest guys like this is what the dark said It would look like there's like a brownish tint like an orange brownish tint Like it's not like this pink stuff right here and like it literally even says dark on the back So I don't know like maybe their packaging is a little bit off, but oh well I'm still gonna use it So that's definitely a little bit of a letdown because I was really excited to try out these pretty like peachy brown shades Well, we're just gonna have to stick to this so during the summer You can use like a bronzy color or a peachy color, but in the winter I do like to go for like a little bit of a darker color So I'm gonna take the darkest mauve color and start up here and move down to the cheekbone so next we're gonna do our eyebrows and this is actually an optional step, but I do highly recommend it because I Look back on my pictures now where I had a full face of makeup and forgot to do my eyebrows And it just looks very incomplete, but if you do have pretty thick eyebrows you can skip this step But for me, I could use a little bit of filling in so what we're gonna do first that is so important is to clean off your eyebrows With some q-tips. I just quickly put them in my mouth and then just kind of go over my eyebrows just to make sure all the foundation is off of them and when you do this you can see that there's a little bit of foundation that Was actually on them so for brows. I highly recommend any brow pencil that has a very very small tip I don't really recommend any gel eyebrow products or Dip brow or anything like that because you could easily make them sharpie brows So when you have like a little point, it's very easy to do light strokes This is actually the Anastasia Beverly Hills brow with but there is a dupe for this which you guys can get at Ulta or Anywhere that sells NYX it is the NYX micro brow pencil The only thing is that I think this AVH one glides on better I feel that the NYX one is a bit dry So if you did want to splurge and get this one, it's just like maybe nine dollars ten dollars max more So I do recommend splurging on this and I am in the color dark brown so I just start at the bottom and kind of just go in with really light strokes and Then take it to the tail and then we're gonna go on the arch and start filling that in I'm pretty sure the NYX one comes with the spoolie on the other side as well And it's really important to just blend it out as You're going through and filling them in so for the last step of the brows We're gonna come up in the front and kind of make that baseline and Then we're just gonna fill in upward Very very light strokes So as you can tell it's not that big of difference if you look at the undone eyebrow versus the done eyebrow But it does make a difference in your overall makeup look another really easy brow product that you can look into is any sort of Brow gel or tinted brow gel. I know maybe lean has some NYX has some so if you do have those thick eyebrows Already then you can just brush through and it will kind of create a little bit of a fuller look While holding your eyebrows in place. So next we're gonna go into eye shadow and this is also an optional step But today I'm gonna be using this awesome thing that I just discovered at Ulta It is the lid lingerie matte eye tint and it is from NYX and the color of this lid lingerie is in Lidly 23 basically you just apply to your eyelid and Buff it out and it is literally like a smoky eye in like two minutes max. It is actually amazing I've been using this for an everyday look because it's so quick and easy to apply I will say it does dry fast. So make sure to do one eye at a time. So we're just gonna take it on the eyelid Make sure it's a nice even coat and then we're just gonna blend it out into our crease So don't worry about applying the product on your crease because we don't want this product to go too high up You could use a beauty blender But I'm just using this little triangle thing that they sell in like mass packs out like warmer and stuff It's literally that fast guys like as you can see it gives you a little bit more definition on this side Than it does on this side. So I personally really love this product. So to finish off the eyes We do need a little bit of mascara So I picked out two of my favorites and they're both actually are from Maybelline The first one is this lash sensational and the second one is this cat eyes the colossal volume express So this one is really great for volume and just separating out lashes And then this one I like to use for my lower lashes and also to give another coat on my top lashes So mascara can get a little bit messy But a little life hack is to look down when you're doing top mascara and to look up when you're doing bottom mascara To make your lashes thicker go behind the lashes and just roll the brush downwards You can definitely stop here with your top lashes or do a couple more coats I personally love thick lashes, but please be careful with this because you do not want clumpy lashes So I do recommend finding like your favorite mascara that separates lashes really well So now I'm going to take my cat eyes and do my bottom lashes So now the eyes are finally done We can move on to lips as you can see there's a little bit of foundation on my lips So I personally love to just get like a towel or makeup towel that you use every day and just scrub your lips This helps get rid of dead skin and it also helps to get rid of all that foundation on your lips So this can create a clean and nice base for us. So I just scrubbed my lips now. It's time to moisturize them I love my EOS bomb. I've been obsessed for a very long time now. I always have one on me You can totally stop at this moisturizing step and call it a day or you can add a hint of color I'm gonna be using this one today. It is the Revlon Ultra HD gel lip color This is in the color HD dessert and it is 710. So it's gonna be a really natural lip color So this is the completed look I hope you guys enjoyed this video and learned some cool makeup tips It was kind of fun to see how bare minimal I can make this makeup routine because if you know me I can spend hours doing my makeup if you guys are interested in any of these products Then I will be linking my blog post in the description below that will have all of the direct links to these products Comment down below your favorite drugstore foundation because obviously I need some help in that department I will see you guys in my next video.
