Hey guys, welcome back to my channel for today's video
I'm gonna be walking you through a step-by-step soft glam makeup look using all drugstore products for beginners
So this is basically an extension to my last video
Which was a drugstore starter kit for beginners where I brought you guys into the drugstore and I walked you through all of my favorites
And product recommendations if you were just starting to get into some makeup and today you guys are gonna see all those products in action
And we're gonna do a little soft glam
So make sure you grab a snack get cozy or grab your makeup in your brushes
So we can do this together and let's get into it and have some girl time
So for me the step that I always do first are my brows, but this is total personal preference
I mentioned this in my last video as well, but brows are very personal
So I recommend just finding a product that is easiest for you
And what I like to do is pretty much just enhance my natural brows
So you can see my brows are really sparse
So I pretty much like to just go off of this follow the natural shape and just fluff them up make them a little bit
Bolder, so I'm using my Oma Beauty two-in-one brow styler
And I actually think this is a great beginner product because you do get two products in one you get a brow pencil
So you can use this to fill in your brows and then you get a little brow gels to set your brows into place
So I think whether you have amazing brows or if you have very sparse brows like myself
You can use this product and make it work and I am very particular when it comes to my brow routine
So I just like I said recommend starting off with a brow pencil
Maybe even like a brow gel just to get started and especially if you already have really good eyebrows
You don't need to do much. I think even just like a good tinted brow gel will work
I feel like this already helps so much just by outlining them and I like to outline first
Which I recommend doing because it kind of just acts as a guide and then it's like a stencil
So you kind of just know where to fill in the rest of the brow so they don't look too thick or harsh from here
You can pretty much take your pencil and if you want to you can use that same pencil to fill in your eyebrows if you
Have any little gaps like I do but what I like to do is go in with either a brow pomade or a brow powder
Today, I'm gonna use a powder. I really love this one from LA colors
I like the soft black shade in here and I take this on an angled brush and I pretty much just fill in
The rest of my eyebrows when I get to the inner part. I do add product, but I feather it in
Really lightly like I said because I don't want them to look too boxy and square and that's pretty much it
That's all I do for the brows and then I just clean them up underneath but that is essentially my brow routine
I do think for me. It's not that bad. It's pretty easy and
It makes a huge difference. Then I'm gonna take some concealer today
I'm using the IRL filter finish from makeup revolution and I pretty much just go right under the brows to clean them up a little bit
I honestly recommend doing this even if you do have amazing eyebrows. It really makes a difference
It's such a small detail, but it makes the brows just look
Better in my opinion and I like this one too because it doesn't look too makeupy around the eyebrows
It's a really creamy lightweight concealer. Okay brows are on and now I'm gonna move into the eyes
I always like to do my eyes before my face just in case there's any fallout so it doesn't ruin my complexion products
So I'm gonna start off with the Milani eyeshadow primer
I'm gonna put this
About that much on the lid and I'm gonna blend this out with a brush and I like to blend this all over
The lids bringing it up towards the brow bone and today for eyeshadows
I'm gonna be using a combination of these two palettes from Milani
This is the gilded mini the in whiskey business
Which is all matte shades and then this one is the gilded mini in call me old-fashioned
So I think in here I'm just gonna use two colors and then in here
I'm gonna use a couple colors, but I'm gonna start with the all matte shade palette first and I'm gonna take
This shade right here, which is looks like a skin tone color
But it's actually a really really light soft brown and I'm gonna put that all over my lid
I'm gonna start on my lid and I'm just gonna use packing motions to put that on and then very lightly
I'm gonna bring it into my crease
This look is gonna be super simple. It's just a couple of shades
So it's all about just taking your time and blending just adding more product as you go
so I like to start with about that much and then I will
Build it up. You can see it's a pretty much like a skin tone color, but it gives a little bit of dimension
I'm just gonna blend that into my crease and
For me my crease is pretty much like when I'm looking straight ahead into my mirror the fold in my eye
That is my crease and where I like to put my brush
to really
Emphasize that and define it a little bit
Then with a fluffy blending brush, this one's actually from NYX. It's one of my favorites, but I'm gonna take that
Orangey soft brown color. There's actually two this one here is a little bit darker, but I want the lighter version
I'm gonna take this and I'm gonna actually mix it in with the color that I just used back and forth
Tap off the excess and I'm gonna start working that on the outer lid in really tiny circular motions
And then I'm gonna blend that into my crease as well
So really circular motions and then in the crease
Back and forth and I like to start with this pretty lightly and then gradually
Builds it up because these colors are really pigmented and it's so much easier to have to add
Versus have to take away. So start off lightly and then build it up and when you're doing your makeup
I recommend having a mirror that's a little bit further away from you
So you can kind of see
Where else you need to blend or add product and then also have a mirror close to you
So you can really get in there and be more detailed with your blending and adding your shades
But this look like I said, it's all about just using the same colors over and over again
And just building them up until you get them to be as smoky or as light as you like
so again, just start on the outer lid in
circular motions and then build that up and
move into the crease
Then I'm gonna take that matte cream color and I'm gonna apply that on the lid
I'm gonna pack that on on the lid and on the center as well
and then I'm gonna take again that blending brush that I was using from NYX and
Just diffusing out the edges a little bit just like that
You can also if you didn't want to use something like this
You can use your pressed powder all over your lid, too
And I love adding a lighter shade whenever I'm doing an all matte look
Because I feel like it makes the other transition colors pop just a little bit more
I'm also gonna hit the brow bone with that same color
This kind of just makes the arch of your eyebrow pop as well. It's all about the details now
I'm going to use the other gilded mini palette because I want to specifically use the black
So there's a couple different options that you could do here
You could totally leave this as is and just move into mascara lashes, whatever
But I want to do a little eyeliner and now you could do liquid liner
You could use your pencil liner or you could use a black eye shadow, which is what I'm gonna do
Whenever I do this, I like to take a little bit of an eye tape right on the edges
And I'm gonna show you I like to use these you can't get these anymore. Unfortunately, they're the elf eye tapes
You could use regular scotch tape as well
Just make sure that you're putting the tape on the back of your hand first and then removing it and then applying it so that
It's not too harsh when you're ripping it off because this eye area is super sensitive
You just want something that's gonna give you a nice clean edge
So I'm gonna place this tape right on the outer portion. I'm gonna use a tiny little angled brush
I'm gonna dip into that black and I'm gonna follow along the tape and pretty much just add a little wing
This is my favorite thing to do whenever I want to just keep it really soft and pretty but you can also use this tape
And use a liquid liner gel liner
But when you have that tape there, it's nice because it's pretty much like your guide
And they pretty much just keep adding it until I get it as thick and dark as I like
It's nice too because with eyeshadow it's a little bit more forgiving. So if you mess up or if it's not perfect, it's okay
You just keep going another black eyeshadow at the drugstore that I love is from elf
This is a little bite-sized eyeshadow and this shade at truffles and this black is amazing
So I figured I would mention this one too. I'm gonna actually add a little bit of that to right over this. It's definitely
Darker than the one from Milani the one from Milani you have to build up a little bit more but it's still a good black
I think they're both great. Yes
Love it
And if you have the tape down, like I said, it's so easy because all you have to do is just follow along the edge
You can pretty much be as sloppy as you want because with the tape it's gonna come out perfect every single time
And what's nice is that with the Milani eyeshadow?
You can definitely keep it super soft or you can build it up if you want it to be a little bit darker
I'm definitely getting it pretty intense, but totally optional something else
I wanted to mention when I'm doing this
I like to start as you saw on the outer portion
Towards the tail of my eyebrow and then I will bring in whether I'm doing eyeshadow or if I'm using a liquid liner
I will bring this in only about midway towards like about like the middle of my eyebrow and down on my lid
I don't like to bring it in too far anymore
Because I feel like then your eyes just get closed off and plus when you go in with false lashes or whatever
It's just gonna get covered up. Anyway, also, there's always gonna be one eye that looks better
And for me, it's always my right eye. So if that happens to you, it's okay. It's not just you it happens now after you
Remove the tape
Perfect wing every single time. This one's probably gonna be a little bit messed up, but I'm gonna fix it
Okay, that one looks good. It's just a little bit longer than this one, but I'm gonna clean it up
You can see there is some fallout. That's why I like to do the eyes first wipe away that fallout
Then I will take this just right on the edge of that eyeliner and just clean it up a little
If I took it out or dragged it out too far now, I'm gonna go ahead and curl my lashes
I am gonna apply some mascara, but I'm also gonna apply false lashes as well. Totally optional
You can definitely skip false lashes
But I like the extraness of false lashes and we got soft glam
So the lashes are definitely appropriate but not necessary today. I'm gonna use the Milani at lash extensions mascara
I love this formula. It's makes your lashes super long
Separates them. I'm just gonna do one coat and this is gonna help to blend in your natural lashes with your false lashes
So never skip this step and stay for lashes. I'm gonna use this. So wispy's in the style pixie from kiss
These are so so pretty and let me tell you the easiest lashes to apply and I'm gonna use of course my kiss
Strip lash adhesive. I swear by this stuff. It's the best. So you want to apply a coat of
Lash glue to your lash band then to really prolong your lashes and that way they are not flying off in the middle of the
Day, I'm gonna take some of that lash glue and just put it right on
The top lash line just a little bit is all you need
Let it dry for maybe about 20 seconds or so and then you're ready to pop it on and you're good
Your lash is not going anywhere and then you take your lash
I like to start and drop it right on the center and then I adjust the outer
Corner I like to press it down with my natural lash and then I adjust the inner corner. I recommend using a lash
Applicator to do this just so you don't have to worry about poking yourself with your tweezers
And then I take the back of my applicator and I fluff up the lashes
Now this is a step that I definitely recommend take your favorite black eyeliner
I'm gonna use the pixie endless silky eye pencil in black and you're gonna tightline your upper lash line
And I definitely recommend doing this if you do apply false lashes because it's gonna just make that look
Darker right at the root and it just makes everything come together with your whole eye makeup. So take your eyeliner
And just run it right on the top lash line
Just like that
What did I say? It's all about the details right now. Let's move into the complexion
So this has been my favorite way to prep my skin for very long lasting makeup
This works with so many of my favorite foundations pretty much every foundation that I have tried looks flawless with this base
So first, you're gonna want to take a long lasting setting spray. I love the Milani make it last
You can also use an elf setting spray just something that is really gonna prolong your makeup
But you want to spray this before you start your primers? I know it's like weird
Why but for me, I feel like this really helps for not only your makeup and everything to last
But your primers just stick better and I love that extra boost of hydration before I put anything on my face
just try it if you've never tried setting spray before any of your makeup try it and
Then I let that dry for a little bit and I'll follow up with my other primers
This has been my favorite little concoction lately. It's from elf
It's first you take the Sun touchable whoa glow, which is an SPF and primer in one
I love this because it's really hydrating like a moisturizer, but it's gonna give you that really pretty glowy finish with that SPF in it
So it's great under makeup. It looks beautiful under so many different foundations and it's not greasy
It's just glowy on the skin and I like to apply this with a brush because it's a little bit thicker
But it's beautiful and I definitely need a little moisture right now on my skin. So this is perfect
So I'm gonna put this on pretty much everywhere and look at how gorgeous
That glow is if you have dry skin, I think you would definitely like this
I have combination skin and I love the way it looks again because it's not a greasy SPF
But it definitely gives you such a pretty lit from within kind of glow
And then I like to go in with the elf power grip with niacinamide for that really nice
Tacky base and this is what's a really gonna prolong your makeup and products just stick really nicely over top of this
The original is great as well. This one has niacinamide though
So it's gonna be a little bit more hydrating and glowy and I like to put this on pretty much everywhere
But I concentrate on areas where my makeup will fade the most which for me is
Right around this like my mouth my cheeks and my nose and then with whatever is left over
I'll put that on the rest of my forehead and the outer perimeter
But you see like that with that tacky finish your makeup is gonna stick and last all day now if you're like girl
I have oily skin. I can't do all the glowiness
I got you instead of the SPF will glow from elf replace this with your favorite moisturizer
I love the honest hydro gel cream. This is great under makeup super hydrating
Fragrance free and it's pretty much like I said in my last video like a drink of water for your face
so after you do that still follow up with a power grip primer because that's what's really gonna make your makeup adhere so nicely and
Just stick and last all day now. We're ready for foundation
And today I'm gonna use the NYX can't stop won't stop just because since my skin is so glowy
I can get away with using pretty much any matte foundation over top of this base and this one is matte, but it's comfortable
It doesn't feel drying. It's not cakey and it has great coverage
So I'm gonna take the color medium olive, but I'm actually gonna mix it in
This is another product that I recommend if you are a beginner or just in general to have it in your collection
Unfortunately, you can't get this at Walmart or Target
I don't think so at least but I found mine at Ulta you can get this at CVS though
But it's the LA girl mixing pigment in the shade of white
So if you have a foundation that's a little bit too dark for you
You just need to add a little bit of this and it's gonna lighten it up instantly without altering the foundation now
the foundation is
Hopefully it's not a little bit too light if you put too much of it
It's gonna be too light, but I think that should be better
This is also what I like to do with my foundation. I will apply it and then with my finger
I like to rub it in and
This kind of just helps me to not use an excess amount of product and then with this
I also like to work in sections as I do this it just kind of smooths out the foundation
Makes it look a little bit more seamless and then when you go in and blend it out with your sponge or with your brush
It just looks so smooth. You see like I love blending it in with my fingers first
That is so pretty and again with the coverage, but it's still really lightweight the product. So again, just
work this in by sections and
Then blend it in with your brush as you go and then the foundation not only looks smoother
But it doesn't feel heavy and then you're not using a ton of product rubbing in with your fingers first
It just it honestly helps so much and it makes the foundation feel more lightweight on the skin
You see how pretty this is. Like I really also think it's all about the skin prep now
I'm gonna go in with concealer. I'm gonna take the makeup revolution IRL filter finish. I have this one in c4
I love this because it gives good coverage and it has a soft matte finish, but it's actually still hydrating
And I love the way this wears it doesn't excessively crease on me now no matter what products are using they're going to crease
They're gonna settle into fine lines because it's just part of life and just it's normal. But with this it's not excessive
You know, like it's actually really comfortable
So I like to just take this with my Anissa Beauty angled concealer brush and I just blend that in I
Start from the inner corner of my eye and then I will blend that towards the rest of my under eye area
Now a little liquid contour. I'm gonna use this one from Milani
I pretty much like to add this to give myself a little bit of a bronzy touch
I'm not necessarily like doing any crazy contouring. So when I apply this, I like to start around the perimeter of my forehead
And then you want to bring it in
Around where your hairline is
Okay, my products like running out
About that much and this product is super creamy
So don't be scared to apply it blends really easily and then I'm just gonna blend that in
and with tapping motions
And I'm using an elf complexion duo brush
And you see how easily it blends and it just gives a little bit of a chisel
But it's still soft and pretty not like a straight up intense contour
And when I do my forehead, I like to blend this into my forehead
Make sure I'm not sweating. Okay good
into my hairline, I mean
So it looks really seamless if your hair gets messed up you're doing it right so keep going blend it into the hairline
all the way in
And then when you get to this part tap it like literally I'm going like this
tap tap tap and
When you're tapping tap it towards your hairline like where your sideburns are
And then you get a little chisel. It's so pretty. I'm also gonna do a little bit
Down the sides of my nose
Totally optional. This is just me being
extra honestly, and then I just take my concealer brush and
Blend that out with whatever concealer is left over on there
I feel like it helps me to blend out the nose and I typically honestly don't really like do anything to my nose
But I want to keep practicing because I'm not the best at nose contour, but I want to get better
So that's why I'm doing this and I like this Milani liquid contour because it's not muddy
I'm gonna add a little bit of cream blush and I know it's like why so many creams
But if you add creams and then you set them with powders, they're gonna last so much longer
So I'm using the elf luminous putty blush in the shade Maui
This is a really nice light pink with a bit of a golden sheen to it
And I'm actually gonna use the same brush that I used for bronzer
I just cleaned it off a little bit and I'm gonna apply that right on the apples of my cheeks
But I'm gonna blend it up towards the bronzer
Take your foundation brush if needed and just blend out the edges of any of your products
Because with any foundation that is left over it's gonna help you to diffuse any little lines
Harsh lines out and it just makes everything look really soft and blended then I'm gonna set my face
I like to use a combination of the loose and pressed powder and I'm gonna start off with the loose powder first on my under eyes
I'm using the elf halo glow and this one's in the shade light pink
They actually change the packaging which is super cute, by the way
And right before I'm gonna set my under eyes since I have so many little creases
I will take my concealer brush and just run over those little creases and set immediately after I'm gonna use my little elf
Puff like to take the powder and just apply some right on the back of my hand
So it's not too much right at once and then I just press that right on up my under eye area
Also down the sides of my nose look at that and this powder puff is so fluffy
It's a little bit thicker. Look at this
Compared to like the one from Amazon. This one is so much thicker. So it's gonna really
Pack on the powder. This powder is so smooth
It's one of my favorites too because it brightens the under eyes. It gives such a pretty
touch of radiance to because
It's not fully matte, but it's also not glittery when you apply it now
I'm gonna set the rest of my face and I'm gonna use my NYX. I can't stop one-stop powder
I have this one in the shade light medium and I'm gonna take this and pretty much just set the rest of my face
This is such a good smoothing powder. You can also use this on your under eyes as well
Sometimes I do that from time to time
I feel like for my under eyes though
I need to get the shade light but light medium is like good for the rest of my face and I just pretty much go
Over everything. I really like the way the cheeks look as is and honestly
You can still see a little bit of that blush peeking through but I want to add it just a touch more powder blush to
Emphasize that and also I think I'm gonna skip on highlighter today. I really don't use a ton of highlighter anymore
So I like to use baked products because it kind of gives me that highlighter look but also it's like a blush
So it's a great two-in-one product and I love the Milani baked blushes. This one is in dulce pink. They're so pigmented. So
You've been warned I'm just gonna take a little bit of this and dust that right over that cream blush
And it's gonna give you some color while also adding a really gorgeous glow
And I'm just barely dipping my brush in because these are so pigmented
So I always say I'd rather add more product than have to try to blend the product away
I'm just using a tiny little fluffy brush to kind of blend around my nose
I don't want this part here to be too dark or anything. So I'm just
Blending any darkness away there then I'm gonna set the brows because you do not want those melting off your face
so I'm gonna take the Oh my beauty two-in-one brow styler and just
Set those down. I love this brow gel too because doesn't make your brows feel or look super stiff
But it definitely keeps them in place going back in with the gilded mini palette
I'm gonna use that transition color that I was using earlier and I'm gonna run that just on my lower lash line
This is gonna help reduce any
Look of fine lines that you have so I like to just put that right under there
And there's nothing wrong with having fine lines. We all have them
But sometimes we got to just conceal them a little bit and I'm gonna add a nude pencil to the waterline
I'm using this one from essence in the shade silky nude. This is the best nude
Eyeliner, it's gonna brighten your eyes up and it's super creamy, too
I'm gonna go back into the other gilded mini palette
I'm gonna take a little bit of this frosty shade and pop that in the inner corners and this one
You know what? Let me spray my brush
That's pretty
Just a little bit. I'm gonna blend it on my lid, but just like the tiniest bit
I will also kind of drag it towards the lower lash line. Just like right in this area. I'm also applying
Lower lash mascara with the same lash extensions mascara from Milani
It's too good like so bomb then I'm gonna wipe off whatever lip balm is left over
But you want to make sure when you're applying your lip liner any lip product your lips are still soft
But they're not gonna slide all over the place. They're gonna actually stay put on your lips
you could even I actually got this little trick from a makeup artist take your powder puff or
Powder brush and just go over it with your lips
Just to kind of mattify them and prep them for your lip liner
So I'm gonna take the line loud lip liner from NYX in the shade global citizen so creamy so long-lasting
I love NYX lip products, but they totally killed it with these lip liners and they're also transfer proof
Then I like to take a lip liner and pretty much feather it into my lips on the outer portion
Just like this and doing that it's just gonna make the lip liner look a little bit more seamless
I'm just cleaning up there just a little bit and then you can go in with your favorite lipstick
One of my favorites is the Milani color fetish matte lipstick in the shade tease it's the perfect nude
like
Come on, are you kidding me? I'm gonna put that right in the center. I'm gonna add a little gloss in the center
I'm gonna use the NYX butter gloss in fortune cookie, and I'm gonna put that right in the center
In the center me puts it all over the lips
Honestly, then we got to seal everything in officially with Milani make it last. I love this kind of makeup
This is my favorite just like an all monochromatic soft glam moment. You cannot go wrong
This is gonna look good on everybody and hopefully maybe it was kind of easy to follow along to when it comes to makeup
I always say take your time blend it out make it work
You got this if I can do it, you can do it practice makes perfect and if it's not perfect, it's okay
Just keep going keep blending. It'll come together in the end trust the process
