I'M gon na start off with the Royal I'm gon na I'm gon na start off with the L'Oreal Paris infallible Pro matte foundation. This is my first time using this foundation and I have the color 111 soft sable and I'm just putting it on the back of my hand, just to warm up the product, I'm going to spray. My brush with my NYX juhi finished setting spray and I already have the baby skin primer by Maybelline on my face, so I'm applying a thin layer of this foundation and so far, oh my gosh, like I love this foundation um. I think I'm going to leave it like this. So now I'm going to go in with my black opal creme foundation. Stick. This is in Kalahari sand jj4 and I'm just going to apply this in the inner part of my nose and going towards my ear. I'M just going to apply a little bit of highlight on either side underneath here that's going to help with my contour and on my chin. Now, usually I don't do this photo up. I'M going to apply my la girl Pro concealer and I use beautiful bronze. As my contour, my cream contour shade, so I'm going to apply this right underneath that highlight like right underneath and then I'm going to apply it on to my forehead. I'M going to apply this, I know now. I said I usually don't do this, because sometimes when it blends together, it gets kind of muddy, but I have a feeling that it's going to turn out alright. Today, a lot of celebs get their faces, contoured and highlighted so yeah, basically, where the top of my ear begins down at a diagonal is where I'm contouring. Also on my forehead on the temples down my nose, I bring it in as the C shape to give a little bit more dimension to my nose and make it a little cute button nose. I don't think, there's anything wrong with my nose or that it's too big I just like to give it that particular shape, and then I applied a little bit of contour right here on my chin. To make my chin look. Slimmer, the highlight is going to push those features out. The contour is going to push those features in. So I want to push my under eye out push my forehead, this part of my forehead out and then push my temples in push these parts of my nose. In push my cheeks in and then push my chin in, so that's what highlighting and contouring is about pushing outwards pushing inwards. So I'm going to use my Real Techniques, Beauty, Blender and just blend all of this out, but this is only for, like the highlighted areas for the contoured areas, I'm going to use my bundle monster Beauty sponge. So these two are different, sponges and different consistencies. This one is going to pick up more product and help me move it around a little bit more. This one is going to spread out the product, so I want to spread out my contour because, as you can see, I put this highlight right here, but I want to spread out my contour to warm up this whole area of my cheeks you'll, see it when I do it sounds a little confusing, but it will all mix it. So now, I'm just going to blend everything out. I'M going to flip this over and take this pointed tip. Don'T really work that product into my inner corner. So, as you can see, um, if my face doesn't look cakey or like anything, is piled or packed on so now I'm switching Beauty blenders or Beauty sponges and I'm blending out that darker color that la girl Pro concealer. So now I'm going to take my Mac Studio Fix powder NC 43. This is their foundation powder and I'm going to also take my BH Cosmetics, fluffy blending brush just going to swirl this in the product up off a bit of the excess and I'm going to set the product underneath my eyes. Now I like a full coverage, even if it doesn't look full coverage and normally my makeup doesn't look very full coverage or like cakey or anything like that, because I submerge my Beauty, Blender in water and I really disperse and spread out and blend out these products. But I use this foundation setting powder while use this foundation powder as a setting powder, just because my makeup doesn't move or smudge or do anything when I set it this way. And so I'm going to put a loose setting powder right on top of this, and that just gives me that cook, you know when you let your makeup cook or bank. It gives me that that look that undertone that yellow undertone kind of paid off right in those highlighted areas and I'm going to go in with this Sasha Buttercup setting powder. I love this when I use a setting powder, I like to use it to give my face a little bit more dimension, so, instead of just setting this and then adding a darker color here using this setting powder - and then I kind of finish it off with This this is a clean, color, matte bronzer, as you can see it, has that yellow undertone it's going to help me add dimension back into my face because with the contour and the highlight it makes my face look flat. So that's why I go. On top of my cream contour with powder - and I go on top of my cream - highlight with powder, so I'm going to UM, take a towel and wring out any excess water or products. On my Beauty, Blender. I found that putting my setting powder on with my Beauty. Sponge just helps it cook better. Okay. So I'm going to use this elf, contouring blush and bronzing powder duo in Antigua and I'm going to take this brown shade. Okay, now where's the other thing I was looking for here. It is and then I'm going to take this Milani baked bronzer. This is in zero for glow and I'm going to mix these two together. This is a really old Mac. 113. So I'm going to swirl around in the for glow, I'm not using this product sparingly by the way I'm like really about to go in and just tapping into here, tap off a little bit of the excess and just swirling right here. Now I'm going to make this powder, it looks like there's nothing in here, but all the pieces kind of just broke. This is the black radiance pressed powder in rich mahogany and I just literally have a whole bunch of pieces to this, but this is very dark. So I'm going to focus this right where the top of my ear is coming down at this angle. So right there, I'm just going to put that right. There, like I said this is very dark, so put that around my forehead and then whatever's left just swirl. It work it in okay. So now I'm going to take this Coastal Scents br-2 50 brush and I'm going to go into my elf contouring bronzing kit, click in and antigua and I'm going to go over that cream contour and I'm going to bring aunty go into my crease and I'm going To go in a c-shape, my nose itches going over my nose and then under my nose and that kind of makes it look like a little button. Um, I'm not going to add my highlight or blush right now, because I still want my powders to cook. So I'm going to do my eye shadow and then I'm going to come back and finish off my full face. Okay, so I just finished doing my eye makeup and I'm going to go ahead and finish my highlighting and contouring routine. So I'm going to take this Real Techniques setting brush and I'm going to go in with my clean color matte bronzer. This is in 0-1 Sol matte, but this is a dollar ninety-nine at genie, beauty supply store. So I'm just going to dab in this like once or twice and tap off the excess, and then I'm going to Pat this underneath my eyes. So this is going to give me a really highlighted under eye. Look with the yellow undertones that I really like. I'M going to also get rid of the powder on my forehead on the bridge of my nose and on my chin around her ku. Oh, I am okay. So now I'm going to warm up my face. What am i over the film okay? So I'm going to spray my blush brush by Real Techniques with my next dewy setting spray and I'm going to go in with my bronzer. This is the zero for glow baked bronzer by Milani and I'm just going to smile, and this is just going to do up my skin so that it doesn't look so mad. Very nice, very subtle, dewy effect, but wait, there's more! I'M gon na go in with my pixi by petra palette that I got from my Ipsy swag bag and I'm going to go in with a look. If I can't open it. Okay, I'm gon na go in to this middle, highlighting Emirate color right here, and I'm just going to continue to just really do up my face. This powder is amazing. Then I'm going to take my angled brush and my setting powder. I me my setting spray again and I'm gon na go in with my Laura Geller Beauty, highlighter and gilded my move, which is right here. This is a Duke for whisper of guilt by Mac, and then I'm just going to place that on the apples of my cheeks and then we're I would normally highlight so bring that all the way up put a little bit above my brows go on the other Side, I'm pretty heavy-handed with this because it just gives me the most amazing glow. Ever now I have a little bit of glow to me. I'M gon na spray my face and that's going to intensify the globe and that's what I want so now, I'm going to add some color back to my face. So I'm going to use, I put a blush up here. I thought I think I'm going to use this. This is the city color, bronzer and sunrise. It has a bit of a pinky undertone to it, so I'm just gon na place that, oh, oh God, oh brother, oh brother, oh my god! Oh my god! Now it's time to do my lips, my lips and I want my lips to be like a Mack. Well, not maybe not a man, but I wanted to be um nude. So I'm going to take my foundation brush just mute out any color, and then I'm going to take our chestnut lip liner and line our lips. This is Krim to 30 by covergirl, okay guys. So that is how I achieve this. Look if you liked it make sure you give me a big thumbs up, so I know to make more makeup related videos for you guys and that's about it. So until next time stay beautiful, I love you bye, mwah. I know which I do.

Sadly, those didn't work and I came to find out that I really didn't need to do anything but wash my face with soap and water every morning and at night. Now, that I am about to start my sophomore year in college I think it's time that I start learning a thing or two in the beauty world. I usually just do my brows and put on a little foundation and mascara before class but I want to learn how to do a little more especially before going out with friends or a night out with my boyfriend. The thing is I don't want it to take a lot my time. Freshman year I had a roommate that would take at least two hours every morning to put on a full face and that is not for me lol. Could you help me?
