Hey guys, well, oh my god, I have to get used to waving again.
I'm freezing, can you tell?
You know what, it's realistic, it's life.
Here we go.
Hey guys, welcome back to my channel.
Today I'm sharing my fresh, everyday makeup routine.
When you want a look put together, but still natural and effortless.
This look has been my go-to lately.
It's quick, it's easy, it makes you feel confident without being overdone.
And it's in theme with the winter season, which is perfect.
If you like to stay on trend with your makeup.
I'm sharing with you guys some of my favorite products for my everyday look.
But don't be shy, please share your favorite everyday makeup products.
If you want to see how I got this look, don't forget to subscribe to my channel.
And hit that notification bell to give you a part of the Dom fam.
And without further ado, let's get into this video.
Okay, wait, let me just fill in my brows really quick.
A whole nother process.
Skincare before makeup always, but I already put on my SPF.
Make sure you don't skip this part.
Even if it's cloudy outside, you can still age by 50%.
In my head, that's the storyline.
So I did my skincare and prepped my face, which is so important for a good makeup day.
It's winter and it's extra dry out here.
So my go-to right now is the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enrich.
It's actually a moisturizer and a primer all-in-one.
It kind of gives you this thick texture, but it's actually very lightweight on the skin.
It has shea butter and vitamins.
It smells delicious.
I've been into skin tints for the past half year and I need a change.
The weather is making my skin feel so dry.
I don't know what it is about wintertime, but I want a little bit more coverage.
So I've been using this one and I really like it.
If I can open it.
It's from Polite Society and it's called More Than a Pretty Face.
Also, what I love about it, you guys.
Oh, my bad.
What I love about it is that it has niacinamide, willow bark, and hyaluronic acid.
Perfect for us dry skin girlies or anybody in the wintertime.
You're gonna love this.
I have this mixing plate from Real Techniques and I'm just gonna put some on here.
I'm gonna shade light in, in case you're wondering.
You know what brush I've been loving?
I've been loving this one from Huda.
It's the base brush and it's actually just perfect.
Like it's so perfect for foundation.
It's really dense, so it packs in the foundation.
I'm sitting underneath the sweater because I'm so freezing and I'm wearing shorts.
I don't know if you guys can see.
I'm wearing shorts.
I'm very California.
I've been really liking this foundation.
Just the coverage it gives, but also it gives you the most skin-like finish.
Do you see the coverage?
But at the same time, I'm gonna try to avoid-
Try to avoid your under eyes and foundation.
It's just gonna help create this perfect mix of cakiness under your eyes.
Because the skin is so thin right there.
So try to avoid it.
Even if you get a little bit, just remove it.
You really just want to save that part for concealer alone if you need it.
But if you're not planning on putting on concealer,
go ahead and put it up all the way to your under eyes.
After I use a brush, I'll go in with my beauty sponge.
This is a pretty large one.
You can still see the glow on my skin.
I like that it doesn't look like heavy full coverage makeup,
but it is medium to full coverage.
I always curl my lashes throughout the entire time if I don't put mascara on
before I do my makeup.
I always curl my lashes.
And then sometimes I just put on mascara before I even do anything.
Just so it's there.
I don't know why I didn't do it today, but I'm gonna let that simmer.
This is a e.l.f. corrector.
It's peach.
It's really great for skin tones that are light medium like mine.
Especially if you have dark under eye circles,
it's gonna really help to neutralize that.
If you have a darker concealer that's a little bit of a salmon color, that works too.
But I'm gonna go ahead and take my almond milk concealer a little bit brighter for January.
I was doing a very neutral and even type of look for all of fall.
Like that was my go-to look.
I like to change up my makeup.
I'm gonna let that marinate for a second.
It's gonna give me more coverage.
Whoever invented this type of concealer brush first,
you get an award.
Like the best concealer brush award goes to you.
The one that I love right now is from Hourglass.
I know BK Beauty has some, but I actually can't find mine.
So I've been using the Hourglass one and it works beautifully.
The density in the brush just helps to blend everything so perfect into the skin.
Anything that's going to sit like this on your face
is gonna work as like your finger or something smooth.
And then the tip of the brush right here helps to feather out everything.
Look at that.
That's a gorgeous brush.
Work it into the inner corners.
If you have hyperpigmentation or darkness under your eyes,
this area is probably dark on you.
Don't forget that step because it can make a world of a difference in your look.
Let me show you how it looks if I didn't blend it in right there.
It still looks dark, so don't forget that area.
It is a weird area.
Sometimes I do forget, especially on days where I'm like,
my makeup doesn't look the same.
My eyes still kind of look dark.
It's because I'm forgetting this area.
That's why I want to remind you guys,
if any of you are like me, don't forget your inner corner.
We're concealed.
Next is bronzer.
I've been doing my bronzer so differently lately.
I'm taking my medium tan cream bronzer from Dominique.
Post-holiday is no joke for me,
so I'm going in and adding my little V on my chin
just because it makes my face look a little bit more slim and elongated.
I'm going to take this and go across my nose and under my nose.
A little on the eyelid.
To blend this out, I'm using the BK Beauty brush in 106.
Their brushes are my freaking favorite.
They just blend everything so beautifully.
This is probably a little bit too big for this area,
but let's try it.
It actually looks pretty good.
Okay, we're going to do that because it looks more natural.
This is my everyday, but if this is too heavy for you guys,
obviously skip it.
I'm also giving you some techniques in here.
Hopefully you find them useful,
but just blending everything out with that big fluffy brush,
even the nose.
But I do want a little bit more structure on my tip,
the tip of my nose.
This is like a personal preference kind of thing,
but I'm just going to add a tiny bit more structure.
So I'm going to take a little bit right here.
This is my brow pencil, by the way.
I think I showed you this hack in my last video.
It's my new way to contour my nose
because it is the perfect cool tone shade.
I take this flat brush and just work it over that shadow.
It just helps to bring a little bit more structure
to my nose in that area.
So I go in with that, but if you don't need it,
you don't have to do it.
Next is blush.
Oh my God.
This blush from Glossier just came out.
It's called Black Cherry and it's so pretty.
It's, let me show you guys up close.
Okay, that was too much.
Oh my God.
I just wasted.
They got to find a better way to do this.
Oh my God.
This looks crazy.
This is such a pretty color for the winter time.
It just squirts out like crazy.
I'm going to take my Anise angled cream brush, blush brush.
It's beautiful.
This is one of my favorite cream blush brushes right now.
I will link it below, but she's gorgeous.
The way that it blends in blush is stunning.
I'm going to take a little bit on my hand
and then pop it in right on the high point of my cheek
because I want my face to look a little bit more lifted.
I'm going to take some of the blush into my outer lid
just so it gives me some type of, you guys,
it's like 12 o'clock at night right now
and I decided to film.
What is wrong with me?
I'm now starting to get sleepy.
So ignore me if I start like saying weird things,
but we're going to take a little bit into the eyelid
just to add some dimension there.
And I love a monochromatic look.
Put a little on my nose.
I'm still not over putting blush on my nose.
I don't know if I'll ever be over it, honestly.
It's so cute.
I like it a lot.
Is it just me or does it look cozy?
The next thing I'm going to put on my face is this.
This is from Dibs.
It's called the High Road Highlight
and I feel like a fresh face is all about the glow.
So I'm going to put a little on my nose,
a little on the high points of my face,
and this one is such a pretty, pretty color.
I'm not going to blend it in super good
because I'm going to go back over with a beauty sponge,
but I'm going to just put it on the high points of my face
so you guys can see where I'm putting it.
A little bit here.
If you tend to break out or have texture, I do too.
Put it around your temple
and then go in with a beauty sponge
and just blend it all together.
It just gives the prettiest glow underneath your makeup.
It's very natural, subtle,
but it's giving good glowing skin.
To lock in my face,
I'm going to use the d'Alba Air Spray Serum.
It's my favorite.
I'm running out.
Why am I doing that?
I'm running out of it already,
but I absolutely love this.
It just locks it in and makes the skin juicy.
I do use a little bit of powder.
I'm just going to go in with my Dominique Transition.
I mean, what am I saying?
I'm going in with my Dominique Translucent Powder
in Translucent.
I'm delusional.
Right in this inner area right here,
but I only take it here
because I don't want my face to look matte.
I also don't want to look oily.
So there's an oily
and then there's a dewy, fresh makeup look
and we don't want to get the two confused
because it can be a hot mess.
Okay, so next we are going to...
What are we going to do?
We're going to add a little bit of shimmer on the eye.
I freaking love these, you guys.
These are a game changer.
I used to love the Fenty ones,
but this is beautiful.
This is from Too Faced.
It's called Disco Crush
and this is the shade Fairy Dust.
See, it just looks like wet diamonds on your eyes.
So I'm going to do a little bit of that on the center.
I always just pat a little bit of something wet
and shimmery kind of looking on my eyes
and I'm done.
That is my eyes for the day.
Put a little bit of mascara on.
The mascara that I tried recently
and that I kind of fell in love with right away
was the one from Rimmel.
This is Blackest Brown.
I'm going to do a brown one.
It's really good.
It's called Wonderbond
and it's a serum mascara
which gives hydration to your lashes.
It separates, it lifts and lengthens so quick.
Look at the difference.
But it's super lightweight.
I don't think I've ever tried a mascara this weightless.
Feels like I'm not even brushing anything on my lashes.
It's so weird, but it's doing so much to my lash.
I'm going to put a little on my lower lashes.
It almost gives you this effect
that your lashes are naturally that long.
Like you don't even have mascara on.
It looks so good.
It's very natural and very much an everyday type of mascara.
I'm going to go into...
What am I doing next?
I found a love for my moles
and I realized how sad it makes me
when they go away underneath my foundation.
So I'm adding them back recently
and it just gives me life.
I really like it.
Let it dry down.
Sometimes I'll put powder over it.
I don't know, it's something I've been doing
and I really like it.
It's different.
I recently went to go visit my mom
and she's like, are those fake moles?
And I'm like, no, they're mine.
Just a little enhanced.
She was freaking out.
So funny.
For the lips, for the lippy,
I'm going to go in with Malt from Anastasia.
This is such a pretty color.
You can't go wrong with a dark lip during the winter.
I also like to contour my lip a little bit
to make it look more pouty.
And I just do these lines right here.
Try it out on your lip and tell me how you like it.
I kind of go over my Cupid's bow,
really create a little bow,
like a point at the tip of my lip,
if that makes sense.
Back over with this shade from Charlotte Tilbury.
It's called Walk of Shame.
And I'll go over it because it's like a little,
it's like a pinky red
and it just adds a little more life back into the lip.
It doesn't have to be perfect.
It can be a little messy,
but this combination is so pretty.
And then go over with dark cherry type of lip gloss.
Okay, this is my first time trying this.
I thought it was gonna work,
but it's not.
It's too, it's too red or something.
I'm gonna go in with the Makeup By Mario Midnight Mauve.
This is giving more of that winter look.
And it's gonna blend together those lip liners.
Just the gloss that you use.
Is it weird that I'm talking and applying?
Such a pretty combo.
I kind of want to add a little bit of this cocoa on top.
It's from Makeup By Mario as well.
Just because I want to add a little more warmth to my lip.
Okay, I didn't really do much of a difference,
but a little something.
That is the lip.
So pretty.
And then for the lash,
I love these press-on lashes.
These are from IMV.
They're my absolute favorite.
I love the styles are a little bit more glam,
lengthy and voluminous.
So that's why I kind of like them
more than the Ardell ones.
Just because they're kind of...
They're a little too natural for me.
But these are also a little too glam for an everyday.
There is an everyday set from them that's really pretty.
They have a classic set.
I actually cut these because they're really full and long.
And I wanted to see if I can wear them today.
I ran out of my special day style
and my everyday style from them.
That's what they're called everyday.
Actually, this looks pretty good.
Oh, I love it.
Yay!
And I'll just pop it on the corners.
And that is all I do for my everyday look.
I hope you guys enjoyed this video and this look.
I'm gonna go to bed, you guys.
I'm tired.
I hope you guys enjoyed this video.
Thank you for watching.
It's my fault for trying to film at 12 o'clock at night.
It is now like 1 or 2 and my eyes are ready to close.
But this is my everyday look.
I hope you enjoyed it.
It's fresh.
It's pretty.
It's easy.
And it's still on trend for the winter season.
