Introduction
Welcome to my YouTube channel! Today, I am excited to have the beautiful Charlie Royal here as my model, as we create a natural and effortless makeup look. In this video, we will be using a variety of products to achieve this look, but don't worry, the application is simple and easy to follow. Join me as I guide you through each step, providing tips along the way. If you enjoy this video, please give my channel some love and don't forget to subscribe!

Skin Prep
To start off every makeup look, it is important to prep the skin. We will begin by using the Tatcha Kissu Lip Mask, which is a non-sticky lip mask that contains plant-based squalane to soften and plump the lips. This vegan lip mask can be used throughout the day or as a lip mask at night.
Next, we will apply the SkinMedica TNS Eye Repair, a clinical youth eye complex that provides hydration and soothes the under-eye area. This product contains peptides, one of my favorite ingredients, as well as antioxidants. It is lightweight and suitable for wearing under makeup.
For added brightness and even skin tone, we will use the OleHenriksen Banana Bright Vitamin C Serum, which contains 15% vitamin C along with hyaluronic acid. Vitamin C is known for its brightening properties and ability to even out the complexion. This serum is perfect for wearing under makeup.
For moisturizer, we will be using the Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Cream, a rich and hydrating cream that is perfect for the winter season. It contains chia seed extract, which helps to soothe the skin and keep it moisturized. Always remember to show your skin some love!
To protect the skin from the sun's harmful rays, we will apply the La Roche-Posay Anthelios Clear Skin Oil-Free Sunscreen with SPF 50. This high sun protection sunscreen is oil-free and helps to absorb excess oil and reduce shine. It is suitable for all skin types, including acne-prone and sensitive skin.
Foundation
For the complexion, we will be using the Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear Care & Glow Foundation and Concealer. This foundation provides medium coverage and has a serum-like texture, giving the skin a beautiful natural finish. It is long-wearing, transfer-resistant, and contains SPF 27. If you desire more coverage, you can build it up by using a stippling motion with your brush.
The Teint Idole Ultra Wear Care & Glow Concealer, from the same range, offers medium coverage and a weightless formula. It blends seamlessly into the skin, providing a natural finish. You can also use a darker shade for contouring or a lighter shade for highlighting, as this concealer has the same texture as the foundation.
Both the foundation and concealer are available in various shades, which will be listed in the description box of this video for your reference. Remember, less is more when it comes to applying foundation and concealer. Blend them out with your fingers or a damp beauty sponge for an even and flawless finish.
Setting Powder
To set the foundation and concealer, we will use the Rare Beauty Always an Optimist Soft Radiance Setting Powder in the shade "Light." This talc-free powder provides a soft focus and natural blurry effect, controlling shine throughout the day. It is ideal for those who prefer a sheer powder that still provides a natural finish. Remember to focus on the center T-zone to prevent excess oiliness throughout the day.
Bronzer
For a subtle sculpting effect and a sun-kissed complexion, we will use the Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk'r Instant Warmth Bronzer in the shade "Inda Sun." Apply the bronzer with a light hand to areas where the sun naturally hits the face, such as the cheekbones and jawline. The key is to keep it minimal and create a soft dimension on the face. Remember to blend the bronzer gently for a seamless finish.
Eyebrows
Charlie already has beautiful eyebrows, but I will be using the SUQQU Framing Eyebrow Liquid Pen to fill in any sparse areas. This liquid pen allows for precise application, and it creates a natural look by mimicking the appearance of individual brow hairs. Remember to be light-handed and only fill in where necessary for a more defined look.
To set the eyebrows in place, I will be using the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze Gel. This gel offers incredible hold and is perfect for achieving the trendy laminated brow look. Simply brush the gel through the brows using a clean spoolie, following the desired shape. This will give the brows a structured and polished finish.
Eyeshadow
For a soft and natural eye look, we will be using the Chanel Beauty Les Beiges Healthy Glow Natural Eyeshadow Palette. This palette offers a range of neutral shades that suit any skin tone. We will apply a light shade all over the eyelid and a slightly deeper shade on the outer corner for some definition. Use a blending brush to soften the edges and create a seamless finish.
To enhance the eyes, we will curl the lashes and apply the Cle de Peau Beaute Qlash Super Proof Mascara. This mascara provides lengthening and separating effects, giving the lashes a defined and fluttery look. Apply two coats to the upper lashes and one coat to the lower lashes for a complete eye makeup look.
Blush
For a natural flush of color, we will use the Sunny Face Air Blush Cheek Tint in the shade "Rosy Glow." This cream-to-powder formula is blendable and sheer, providing a soft and subtle effect. Apply a small amount to the apples of the cheeks and blend it out with your fingers or a stippling brush for a natural-looking blush.
Highlighter
To add a touch of radiance to the skin, we will use the Tom Ford Beauty Soleil Glow Highlighter. This silky powder highlighter contains soft pink sparkles that give a beautiful luminosity to the skin. Use a fan brush to apply a small amount to the high points of the face, such as the cheekbones, brow bone, and cupid's bow. This will create a natural and glowing complexion.
Lips
For the lips, we will be using the Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Velvet in the shade "Peachy Nude." This weightless lip mousse has a liquid lipstick-like formula that is hydrating and velvety. Apply a small amount with a shadow blending brush for a soft and diffused look. This technique eliminates the need for lip liner and creates a more natural appearance.
Setting Spray
To set the makeup and ensure its longevity, we will use the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray. This setting spray helps to blend the makeup together for a seamless finish and prolongs its wear throughout the day. Hold the bottle at arm's length and mist the product evenly onto the face. This final step will give your makeup extra staying power.
