The PERFECT Natural Glam Makeup Tutorial for Black Women | Beginner Friendly

In today's tutorial I'll be walking you through how to achieve a natural glam makeup look so if you're struggling at home You're a beginner even if you're a makeup artist and you want to polish up your work. This is gonna be the video for you I'm gonna be very detailed walking you through step by step. So if you're interested grab your brushes, let's get right into it So the first thing I'm gonna be doing is her eyebrows So when it comes on to natural glam less is more so you just want to get some brow glue This one is from NYX. This is the crazy lift Okay, my favorites and you just want to apply some in the brow Then when you're done, you just want to brush it through the brow Okay This is gonna help to make your brows look more sculpted more defined and it shows you where you need to fill in Plenty of us only have like certain places where we need filling in So for example me I have a whole gap in this region here But lucky for us our beautiful model she has really great brows So we don't really need to do too much and if you have nice full brows Please don't do anything to them because that's gonna keep the look looking very natural. Okay guys Okay, so now we're gonna move to the skin. So this is a touch of dewy milk moisturizer my favorites because it's like more lightweight But it still gives a lot of hydration. Yeah, so I'm just gonna put some on to her face Look up for me When it comes out to natural makeup or any type of makeup Actually, the skin prep is like literally the one of the most important steps because if you don't moisturize your skin properly The makeup is gonna go on and it's not going to blend in nicely. It's gonna look a bit dry and cakey So, please get a really hydrating moisturizer and rub it in really well So now we're gonna go in with the primer and this is my fave This is Vanessa Maric's Universal Blurring Balm. And when I tell you guys this is gonna help to blur the pores It's gonna give the face that extra boost of hydration But at the same time it's also gonna create a barrier so that you don't get as oily and it's gonna smooth out your pores So for me, it's like a win-win-win-win-win-win. I love that about it. So I'm just gonna get this all over the face Okay So now before we go in with foundation anything we want to go ahead and color correct now if you don't know what it is Don't go running off. I got you This is what we do when a person has dark circles, so if you have dark circles She doesn't really have too much dark circles or anything But I want to show you guys because a lot of people have this so if you have dark circles or darkness around your mouth Or any hyperpigmentation, you know any grayness on the face You can go in with a concealer that has a cool undertone now how to know when a concealer has a cool undertone You can just go into the makeup store and ask them for concealer to color correct Okay, or you could ask them for one that has a cool undertone. So this concealer here has a cool undertone and We're just gonna apply it here, but here's the thing If you don't have a concealer to color correct You can just use a concealer that matches your skin tone The last thing you want to do is cover up dark circles with a really bright concealer. It's not gonna work It's gonna make the the darkness look even even weird. It's gonna give it like a gray bad-looking look Yeah, please use a concealer that matches your skin or a concealer that's your skin tone but has a cool undertone to it Okay, so that's what it's gonna look like Okay, nothing bright and then we can just go right in and blend now to blend. I'm using this brush from Real Techniques This is called the powder setting brush. But because today we're doing like a natural glam look we are going to be sweeping Okay, and she doesn't really have much dark circles either So it's okay to sweep the concealer because this is gonna give a more natural look If you have really bad dark circles, you can make the concealer dry down a bit more and then pat it Okay, the patting is gonna give you more coverage But for her, we don't really need that much. So I'm sweeping the concealer when you sweep your concealer It's gonna give a more natural look because it's kind of like blending out the concealer really thin versus when you're patting Okay, so in this video we'll be doing more sweeping I usually pat a lot because I want more of a full coverage look but today we're sweeping for more natural look Okay guys, and as you guys can see one dot of concealer under the eyes is more than enough You guys sometimes are applying way too much makeup. It's not necessary. Okay. Okay, so that's what that's what the makeup is looking like Right now, but here's the thing. I'm gonna use some on top of her eyelids as well Because I do see a bit of darkness here as well. So we're just gonna use the concealer just to cover that Okay, I'm just gonna sweep it around and as you can see one dot of concealer is actually too much A little goes a long way and guys I'm using the Kiehl Beauty Skin Essential Concealer in shade number eight This is wonderful because it looks like skin. It's medium to full coverage So what that means is it just just it doesn't just go on looking like a layer of paint. It goes on It looks natural. It's creamy It's easy to blend and if you want more coverage You just have to add a bit more or let it dry down a bit. See open your eyes for me, darling See, that's what it look like Like you you put effort in you know, yes. Yeah, I like you. I appreciate you. I do. I really do All right. So now we're gonna be doing a bit of sculpting but a very natural looking sculpt So we're not gonna go too dark with it. Okay, we kind of just want it to match her shoulder region here Okay, this is gonna be the Kiehl Beauty Sun Sculpt Bronzing Stick in shade toffee So if you're not one of those girls that's into the super deep red looking bronzers This is gonna be good for you. If you're her skin tone. Okay, this is more of a natural look actually I'm going to show you two ways of applying it So one way is you can just simply go ahead and draw this line on the face like this Okay, you see that? That's one way of applying it But then another way which is way easier and and big enough friendly is just to get some of this bronzer on the back of your Hand like this Okay, and grab a brush. So a more beginner friendly way of doing this is you can apply the bronzer on the back of your hand Like this then you can blend the bronzer onto the brush. Okay See so you can go directly into the bronzer Onto the back of your hand like this because look at what it will look at what I'm doing I'm patting out the bronzer in the back of my hand to get it evenly dispersed on the brush That way by the time you go ahead and pat it onto the face It's just gonna be blended out perfectly for you. You don't have to do no hold for extra work to blend it out Okay, because sometimes people struggle with the lines. See that's that nice warmth that it brings So the placement for this is right here by the temples of the forehead so the side of the forehead here Okay, and then on the cheekbone on the actual cheekbone so you can apply this on the lower part of the cheekbone But guys, please don't put it in the hollow region. You want you want it actually Kissing your cheekbone. Okay, right Turning it back to the front for me now. Yes So that's a simple way of getting some bronzer done and then here's another tip for you You see if you're applying it and for some strange reason your bronzer is not the right shade. It's too dark. It's too muddy I don't know what's going on, right? And you need to like get some of the product off the brush simple always have a napkin handy Wipe the brush into the napkin. It's gonna act as an eraser. All right, and then when you go back onto the face You can tap the edges out gently. Okay, you see how I'm tapping the edges Because what that's gonna do is going to give you a nice soft diffused look it's gonna tone down the bronzer for you Okay, so that's what that looks like All right good. So now we have the easier side. This is another way to blend Okay So the benefit of doing this side is the placement because once you put on the bronzer like this you can just pat it in place Okay, and once you pat it in place Then you're gonna get really nice bronzer placement that is gonna lift the face and bronze the face nicely So that's the benefit of doing it this way But as I said, if you're a beginner just please try this way first and then you can advance this one later But to be honest with you, I like both ways I love how dramatic this this side is when you draw it on but I love the blend of this side. It's so nice So let me know guys what which one do you guys do at home? Do you draw the line or do you blend it off on the back of your hand first? Okay, so see that's blended and to blend out the bronzer and notice guys. I'm just patting. I'm not dragging the bronzer I'm patting the bronzer in place and then I go along the edges and just pat it out to soften it Okay So now we have that We are just gonna get some bronzing on the nose because why not and for this because we want precision We are going to go for a concealer brush. So a brush that looks like this You see that guys like a flat concealer brush We're just gonna get some of the bronzer on the brush Wipe away the excess because you don't need too much and then we're just gonna do like this. We're gonna draw two lines here Okay Now if your bronzer is really really dark for you Please don't put this on your nose because your nose is in the center of your face And if you put this thing on your nose, that's way darker than you It's gonna look really dramatic and it's gonna be hard to blend out. So guys, please Be mindful. Okay, so I put a V here. So it's like we do a V like this See right here by the nose bridge going towards underneath the eyebrows a bit and we do a V here Then we put a U here. I just like to do it this way. It looks more natural. I'm not even gonna lie to you It looks nicer, but it's it's strange because as soon as I start to blend it's just gonna become one line anyways But this is just how I like to put it on Yeah. Alright, so now to blend it out. Honestly to blend it you can just use your fingers you got at home Just use your fingers guys So use your ring finger and you just start at this line here and then you just drag it along the line like you like You're just following the line and you drag it to blend it up because you don't need that line Just they're sitting on your face. It has to be blended and notice because I didn't use too much. I broke up the Broke it up into like little sections. It's less products It was way easier for me to blend it out you see and then that's how we want it. Okay Cool so everything is easy to follow right now, right guys All right guys, so now for the under I am grabbing the Kier Beauty Skin Essential Concealer in shade number seven Okay, so this is one shade down from the color correcting concealer and I'm just gonna get one little dot here Oh my god, the dot is too big It's too big and then look how I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna get some on the forehead like this And look straight ahead and I'm just gonna bring the line on to the nose bridge a bit like this and literally That's all we need guys. Like you guys have been fooled You guys have been using too much product. Actually, let's have some fun I'm not gonna be using any foundation because foundation is honestly not always necessary. I'm not going to lie to you So what we're going to do instead is just put a dot of concealer turn it to the side for me Right on in her cheekbone. This is gonna help to clean up on a cheekbone. Okay, and then the other side for me It's gonna put a dot here. Okay, then we can just put one dot here and here This is if you have smile lines, this is gonna help to get rid of that. She doesn't have that But yeah, that's what that is for. So let's blend out the line underneath the cheekbone first You guys so easy that is and do you see what's happening? It's helping to clean up the bronzer So the bronzer will just be looking perfect You see that see guys how good that look like look look at that cheekbone like look at how it pops now Okay, so now we're just gonna move right here and clean up this region here and see I'm using the same brush from Real Techniques The powder setting brush and I am just brushing around gently Okay, and you see how it's just like making everything look so polished you see so you don't always need foundation guys Look at that. Look how lightweight that is Mm-hmm turn here to the front now, and I'm just gonna do the same thing to the other side All right guys, so now we are gonna blend out this one in the center here and we just gonna see I'm just going against the edge and just softening softening it out Okay No, so you're only gonna be able to swipe your brush like this so easily if you have not too much product on your face See like that and then to blend out this region here that's going towards the bronzer We want to go back for the same brush that we used to blend the bronzer and whatever is left on the brush Okay, don't add no more product to it. You're just gonna blend the edge The section of it where the bronzer is blending into the concealer. Okay? Okay, guys, so I'm gonna stop right here because I decided that I want to clean up. Is this the right concealer? I decided that I want to clean up above her brows a bit. Yeah, so you can clean up above the brow a bit So I'm just getting some of the same concealer on a brush Okay, not too much and I'm just dragging it above the brow now, here's the thing please use a concealer that matches your skin tone Because if you make this concealer too light, it can look a bit much. Okay? So the concealer I'm using in the center of her face right now. It isn't too bright So that's as well as able to use it and then you just use the same brush and just blend out the edges like this Okay, so that's an optional step. You can definitely skip that step if you're a super beginner now We're gonna go down the bridge of the nose with the same brush So we're just gonna blend up and down like this. Nothing crazy. All right, guys I'm not gonna lie to you after you blend out that line down the nose You're gonna probably have to go back in and add back your bronzer lines. That's just normal So I'm just gonna go back and add them in a bit I'm just gonna use my ring finger to just Tone it down Now I don't if you realize but I left the under eye concealer I'll leave it there just to dry it on a bit to give me more coverage. That was intentional What I'm gonna be doing in the meantime is I'm gonna be adding a bit of liquid blush Okay, so for liquid blush today, I'm gonna be using my favorites I've just been so obsessed with this palette lately and this is the... I need Anissa Maric's to sponsor me because I really like her stuff This is Anissa Maric's Dewey cheek and lip palette. Oh my god. It's so good. I love it. It's so pretty So we're gonna use this to pat on some blush onto her cheekbone so honestly, don't overthink it you can just use a little brush like this, okay and Let's use this color here. Okay, and we're just gonna pat it right here on the highest point of the cheekbone So the highest point of the cheekbone is above where we put the bronzer But no the blush is going on the highest point of the cheekbone and here's the thing also the same rule applies You can get some blush on the brush Pat it out on the back of your hand so that it doesn't have you looking clonish when you apply it onto your face And then you just pat it on the highest point of your cheekbone like this and I kind of like to get it close to the eye That's gonna give that lifted type of look It's gonna lift your face up and it's gonna blend into your concealer really nicely if you kind of bring it close to the eye You see that? Alright guys to blend out the under eye. So this eye guys got cut off So I'm just gonna show you on this eye how to achieve this So for the under eye, I'm gonna show you a different technique today. This is for a very natural look Okay, look you just basically brush it out We're not patting today with gently brushing against the tip of the bristles so look it should it should feel like a feather like really light just barely brushing with the tip and You just blend out the edges back and forth. Okay See that guys, so I'm taking my time Look straight ahead for me. See that Then once we get the blend in the center region, we can just blend out the edges So the edge right here, we're kind of meshing that into the blush. So we get a nice transition and This way I love doing makeup this way cuz guy it just it's just so much it's so therapeutic doing it this way Because it's like you're literally like an artist like you're more like moving your brush around like this rather than you know, rather than patting But this I tell you is gonna give more of a natural look Still glam but way more natural looking on your face like the concealer won't look super heavy or anything. You see that? All right guys, so it looks perfect like we could really go ahead and continue from here But this is just for my girlies who just want a bit of brightness under the eye If you like a concealer to look like this, you can leave it like that by all means I love it But I just have to show you know so that we can accommodate everybody who's watching if you want to brighten This is where you go in and brighten You don't just go with a super bright concealer and hope to God it looks good You build it up first use a color one to two shades lighter than the skin tone You know something more natural looking then if you want to brighten you can go in with a lighter color So this is K Beauty concealer shade number five. Okay, and I am literally gonna get like half a dot now like Literally like actually less than half of that's the quarter dots Because we don't need a lot. Okay, and the more you add the more unnatural it's gonna look So now we're just gonna go ahead and sweep this color right in the under eye region so you cannot just doing like a Like a right angle triangle, you know, like a little triangle in this region here. That's how I want you to blend it But this is gonna give way more coverage So I have to make sure blend it out, right? So I'm being gentle, but I'm moving my brush a lot So it doesn't really feel like I'm moving too much on your face right with a brush. It's very soft, right? Now what we're gonna do to ensure it comes up looking really dewy like skin We're gonna spray the Morphe continuous prep and set mist. Okay, I Love this mist because it's not too overwhelming. Some of the sprays just be wetting up everything so much This one is not so much and it soaks into the skin really nicely You want your skin to be having this dewy look before you continue. If your skin is not looking dewy We need to spray it. We need to get some dew in it That way when you put the powders on top the powders don't come up looking too dry Okay, so that's the reason why we do this and how long to wait You can just wait for it to soak onto the skin a bit. Alright, so to set I'm gonna show you guys a method that is really foolproof, really simple, really easy So I don't think I want to like super be setting down her face too much today I don't think that's the look we're going for today. Okay, so look We're gonna be going in using the Kiehl Beauty artist essential powder palette This is what we're gonna use So this has shades that you can use all over your face You can use it as face powder, to set, to bronze, to contour as natural eyeshadow You can use it for a lot. But now I'm gonna be mixing I'm gonna be using this shade and this shade just a bit of both Okay So what you can do is if you're gonna use it to set your under eye You want to use a color that's similar to the under eye and sometimes you're gonna have to mix So for example for that I could use this color and this color Okay, so this color mixing them with a little bit of white and you don't have to be over You don't have to be scared because the powder is really sheer. It's really light So when you put this onto the face, it's not gonna go and soak up all the oils right away It's like a gentle set and then the more and more you add the more and more matte it will get So that brings me to my next thing a little powder at a time You don't need a lot. So say if you got a lot of powder on your brush, please don't go in right away Cut off all that extra powder on the back of your hand because we don't need that We just want a little bit because we want it to look natural and we don't want to dry out the under eyes That's what some of you guys are doing. You guys are drying out the under eyes and using colors that are too light Okay, so next tip before we go in and set we want to make sure look up for me darling We just want to make sure that there are no creases. You just want to go ahead and blend out any creasing that's happening Okay, very important. Don't move on until keep looking up babes Don't move on until you blend out that under eye region you have to blend it out Okay, so you can just brush against it like this or pat against it like this and that's the next thing So if you have dark circles or something you want to cover you probably want to pat But if you just went for a lighter makeup look dragging is fine Okay, keep looking up for me darling, please cuz it's gonna crease if you look down Okay, her under ear is so tiny. We can use a smaller brush actually guys. Let's use this one This one gonna mix this brown here with this white part of the excess and we're just gonna pat Right in the region here with small amount of powder at a time. Okay You don't need too much Make sure to work it into the back of your hand and then onto the face like this Okay. So now we have that on the eyes set and I kind of want the cheeks to stay dewy So I'm not really getting it there. I'm only getting it by the under eye region I'm just going to set our own around her mouth as well. You can look straight ahead babes. Thanks Yeah, so I'm gonna set her on her mouth a bit with the same two colors this way Yeah Cuz we don't really need there to be looking too shiny Okay So this is what I call like strategic powdering. Okay, cuz we want the dewy look We don't want everywhere to be super matte. So it's like I'm only setting certain places. Okay? Yeah, so the reason why we go with pressed powder first is if you struggle with creasing This is gonna be a good method for you So you don't want to just go in with loose powder You want to you want to set it with pressed powder first, then we're gonna go in with a bit of loose powder So this loose powder is from Huda Beauty. It's called banana bread and we're just gonna gently tap it in the region there. Okay? Now I have to be careful where I put it. I need a smaller powder puff because I don't want everything to be Matte okay, I kind of want the cheeks to stay dewy So I'm just taking my time and only applying it right on the region Now this time you can really pat in this loose powder because we're not gonna bake today Okay, so because we're not gonna bake we can press this in Now if you had wanted to bake this would be the time So you would just play if you wanted to bake you just put the powder onto the face like this Place it. Okay Don't press it in you just place it and just leave it there for like a couple minutes and then wipe it away That is how you bake. Okay, basically, so I'm just gonna get the same loose powder on her mouth and By her chin region. Okay, you can get some of this on the forehead like this as well if you want Okay, so even though we're going for a glowy look we want the makeup to be very long-wearing So that's what the powder is gonna help with. It's gonna help with longevity of the makeup See that shows you guys how to gently set With purse powder and then you go in with your loose powder to really lock it in But then I also show you how to bake if you wanted to okay Now we're gonna quickly go underneath the eyebrows and clean it up Just because I want a more polished look and I'm gonna put a bit of bronze on her on her eyelids So yeah So this is the Kieh Beauty Skin Essential Concealer in shade 7 the same concealer that we use for our under eyes and everywhere Close for me And I'm only gonna get it right here by the arch region This is gonna give us a nice lift It's just gonna make the brow area look cleaner. Okay. Alright, so now we're gonna blend this out Use your eyes for me. So I'm just going in with like a blending brush and just blending out the edge Alright guys, so now for eyeshadow I'm just gonna be using these two colors here from the artist essential powder palette And I'm just gonna be applying it right here on her eyelid. Honestly, it's gonna be a very natural eye Nothing crazy. The main thing is that you just want to keep the blend below the crease. Okay? You don't want to blend above this crease region here open for me because that's gonna give a flattering look now We're just gonna get look up for me now We're just gonna get some of that same brown combo right on the hair just to frame the eyes This is a nice soft way of getting like an eyeshadow look without without actually putting eyeliner No, if you want eyeliner, you can go with eyeliner. This is just a brown eyeliner. Look up for me. Thanks now we're just gonna get it in her waterline and guys, if you want to you can go in with your with a brow pen and Just create some hair like strokes in the brows. So this honestly, I didn't really need to do this But I think if I added some hair like strokes here, we'll just make the brows look nicer. So that's why I'm doing it No, if you're a beginner, I'm not gonna lie to you bro Pen can be a bit challenging you have to kind of get used to it because you have to be very gentle It's not really hard But you have to like practice to flick it on the back of your hand first because you have to be gentle if you press Too hard It's gonna be a hot mess. Okay, so you have to take your time and If this is too hard for you, you can just fill it in with with a brow pencil Alright guys, so now we're doing some lip liner and this is from colour-pop. This one is called BFF 3 So now for the scent of the lip, I'm gonna be using the NYX soft matte lip cream in shade Athens I'm just gonna do this give her lip a bit of color this for me my mama Yeah And then for gloss, we're gonna be using the NYX duck plump in shade banging bear It's just gonna tingle a little I'm sorry Okay All right guys, so now we're gonna go with a bit of bronzer So we're gonna be using a powder from the artist essential powder palette So I'm just gonna be using this color here mix it with this color here and I'm just gonna pat some on to her forehead Okay Pat some on to the cheekbone where we apply the bronzer and guess what? I don't even need to use a lot Because the bronzer color was just so pretty Like the cream bronzer was so perfect so we don't even need too much but this is gonna help to add back That vibrancy to the face. Okay, it's gonna help to to make the color pop more Which is what we need. It's gonna make it more long-wearing as well Alright guys, so now we're gonna go in with a little bit of blush on top So we're just gonna go in using the care beauty barb blush palette the girlies favorite so good I'm just gonna use the pink color here. I'm just gonna apply some right here Okay, so I'm tapping it gently because I still want the cheek to look a little bit dewy If you don't care for the dewy look you can just go right on top of it and matte it down But I just kind of want my cheek to be a little dewy All right. So now we're just gonna go in and brush off this powder right here Just like this Unbake and this is the part where you can go ahead with your blush and mesh the end of your blush like this into the under-eye concealer for that really flawless look I'm just gonna use this to matte down any areas that need to be matted down. Oh The nose guys, let's reinforce that nose contour.
