- Hi, welcome back to the Adore Beauty YouTube channel.
My name is Amy.
I'm the senior editor here at Adore Beauty.
I'm gonna do a little something a little bit different.
I don't know if anyone watched Hannah
and Joanna's Get Ready With Me make up looks glam,
that whole shebang.
I thought that looked really fun.
I want to do something similar.
So I'm going to do a Get Ready With Me make up tutorial
that's specifically for freckles and red hair!
So if you have a similar colouring to me,
or you just like to watch make up videos,
and learn a few tips and tricks on the way, keep watching.
First things, first, let's get
this hair clipped out of the way.
If you're someone that reads a lot of beauty articles,
or watches make up tutorials, those kinds of things,
there are a lot of rules about if you have this skin tone,
you should wear this, you should avoid this.
I am not about that at all.
I'm 100% for wear whatever
the (beep) makes you feel amazing.
Because at the end of the day make up is for you,
and it's to make you feel like your best self.
That said, I'm gonna run through some of the products,
different colours and tones that I find work really well
with my red hair and freckly complexion.
First things first is foundation.
Today, I'm gonna wear the MAC Studio Radiance.
This is the Studio Radiance Face and Body.
It's sheer to light coverage, dewy finish,
so it actually doesn't cover up my freckles,
it let's them shine through.
And I think that's probably the biggest thing
I've learned about foundation.
I used to wear a lot of full coverage,
medium to full coverage foundations.
And would wonder why, oh, it just doesn't look quite right,
or it's not giving me the look I'm after.
It's because I was trying too hard to cover up my freckles.
I really like Giorgio Armani,
the Neo Nude True-to-Skin Natural Glow Foundation.
And that one's in the shade 3.5.
If I'm going out, or I have an event,
this foundation is amazing.
It's the YSL Touche Éclat Le Teint.
And the shade is BR25.
But today, I'm gonna be using MAC.
My shade is C1.
So if you look here the skin here
where I don't have any freckles,
is actually gonna be a very different shade
to say here, or here, where I do have freckles.
Usually I'm a touch warmer than what my actual,
you know, natural, un-freckled complexion is.
But you can just blend your foundation down.
Blend that out with a foundation brush.
(elegant jazzy piano music)
Okay, so that's my foundation done.
As you can see it's just a very light, glow-y base
that still lets my freckles shine through.
So now my base is done I'm going to actually add
just coverage where I need it using a concealer.
I've spoken about this one before.
It's the Napoleon Perdis, The One concealer,
very full coverage, but very creamy
and still quite illuminating.
So I like to apply concealer with a brush,
but again, it's a great way
to still get coverage where you need,
without covering up your beautiful freckles.
Because freckles are not something to be covered up,
they're something to be celebrated.
I like to use a brush to blend my concealer.
So this brush is Spectrum B03.
Oh, I completely forgot I put some on my chin.
One plus side to having freckles, I think,
is that your pimples kind of just blend in
with the freckles.
So I don't usually fuss too much
about trying to cover them up.
There's pros and cons to everything, right?
Next step is bronzer.
I have been using my bronzer,
which is the Hoola Lite for so many years.
It's the best matte bronzer shade I've found
for fairer, freckly skin tones like mine.
You can see there, so it's just a bit lighter
than the original Hoola.
I just find that it doesn't leave my complexion
as muddy looking. (container clacking)
And I'm just applying it with a Spectrum brush
from the Katie Jane Hughes kit, so this is the 02.
♪ Mm, mm, mm. ♪
Always dust off the excess. (wood clacking)
One thing, too, with bronzer application
is I'm not much of a contourer with my bronzer.
Just because, again, because you've got freckles,
and if you're gonna do a line,
no matter how well it's blended,
it's still gonna be semi-obviously a line.
Because you've got some other bits
and pieces going on here.
So I just like to do around the hairline and jaw,
and that is kind of my contouring.
And then the rest I like to just sweep
the colour up the cheekbone
just to really add warmth.
So you can see the difference there.
We've got bronzer, no bronzer.
So I'm gonna go ahead and do,
oh my god, I just hit pan.
That's so sad when that happens.
'Cause you know it's like the beginning of the end.
I also like to use this as a base for eyeshadow, too.
Swipe that over the eyes.
Now, let's do brows, because I...
So I've had a lash lift not long ago,
but my brows, as you can see
they're basically invisible.
So let's just draw them on,
so we know what we're working with.
I prefer to have a bit of a cooler brow
than this warmer shade,
because I just like the contrast.
So I'm just gonna use good old Benefit Gimme Brow.
And this is the shade three.
But again, you're just gonna wanna see
what works best for you.
And I'm just gonna very gently
pop some of that on.
And then I get my eyebrow brush again.
And I just take it through like that.
And then I use the other end,
which is like a little eye liner brush, to tidy up.
So you can see it's not a huge difference.
But it just is enough to give
a bit more definition to the brows.
Now, on to blush.
Now, I used to not wear blush,
because I thought, okay, I already get red cheeks.
I already get really overheated and flustered,
and blush just accentuates that redness.
And I feel like that is a real missed opportunity.
As you can tell, blush is my favourite make up category.
This one here is the Giorgio Armani liquid blushes
in the shade 51, and that is quite a bright pink.
So if it's a bright pink, or a bright orange, I love that.
Kind of like my go-to every day shade
is more of an autumnal colour pallette.
So it's something like Anastasia Beverly Hills blush sticks.
And this is the shade peach caramel.
It's almost like more of a brown.
I think let's do the Giorgio Armani in the 32.
So I pop that on.
I line it up with the pupil, like Megan says.
I like to use a stippling brush for blush.
(elegant jazz piano music)
I also find these kind of autumnal shades
really bring out my eyes.
Which, as you can see, are green.
If you think of the colour wheel, green
and pinks and stuff are opposite,
so they bring each other out really nicely.
So don't believe anyone who says that if you have red hair,
you can't wear pink lipstick, red lipstick,
you can't wear bright blush.
You absolutely can.
In terms of eyeshadows, I keep it pretty simple,
but I do like to do a tonal make up look.
So if I'm doing a certain blush on my cheeks,
I like to mirror those colours with the eyeshadow,
and also with the lips.
So again, I'm gonna take my bronzer,
and just do a little bit more.
(elegant, jazzy piano music)
I'll show you this pallette.
This is the Eye of Horus Winter Solstice pallette.
The ones that I quite like for my complexion
are, oh, actually all of them, except for this blue shade.
Bronzy shades, plums, deep pinks,
gold, browns, even like a cocky green.
Now, I'm actually just gonna use my blush
as my eyeshadow today.
Pop a bunch on the back of my hand,
and just pick up some of that colour
to then bring it over to the eye.
So get it down and then we'll blend.
(elegant, jazzy piano music)
And then I might even pop, just for fun,
a bit of this, the MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pots.
But in this really fun shade called Babe of Charms,
and pick up some of that colour, and swipe it
onto the lid.
And then eye liners.
I'm not really a big fan of black eye liner on me.
Just not really a fan of eye liners in generally,
because I'm too lazy.
But something that I love to do
is use an eyeshadow stick.
Today I'm gonna use this Napoleon Perdis one,
which is the LUXAZA eye sticks in Ron Burgundy.
It's just is gonna add a bit of definition to the eye,
but also tie in the eye look.
It's like eyeshadow for dummies.
Draw on a bit of this, and then I'm gonna use
an eye liner brush like this one,
to just tie in and smudge it out.
I have just had a lash lift, though.
And it's always interesting trying to do eye liner
when you've had a lash lift.
Get it on.
You know, don't ask for permission,
just seek forgiveness after.
I'm gonna take my brush, and I'm just gonna...
(elegant, jazzy piano music)
And then the beauty is if you feel like,
oh, I've done too much, or whatever,
you just go back and get your other brush,
and blend it out.
Let's work on a tiny bit of mascara,
because we need to just get this show on the road.
In terms of mascara, I actually,
even though I don't like a black eye liner,
I do like a black mascara, hair out.
It's time to talk about lips!
Actually, after blush, lips is my favourite make up step,
because I just love how a lip product
can completely transform your make up look.
Use whatever shades that you like, that's it.
I will share some of my favourite shades,
and they do actually tie into the blush shades.
So I like to keep my blush and my lips semi-matching,
'cause I think it's just really beautiful.
Sometimes, I even use my lipstick as blush.
And as an eyeshadow, so just, you know,
let that sink in.
Probably my favourite pink lipstick ever
is this one from MAC.
It's a Powder Kiss Liquid Lipstick
in the shade A Little Tamed.
And it is just the most stunning shade.
This is probably the one I'll wear today,
because it will go with my eyes.
If I'm doing a red, personally, I like to go
for more of an orange-toned red.
And this one is from Benefit.
This is the California Kiss in Colour Bombs.
Oh! It's called the shade Poppy.
So that one is stunning, I love it.
And two other shades that I want to talk about,
these Make Up Forever lipsticks.
They're like a suede-y matte lipstick.
Again, I'm kind of going with the autumnal colours here.
Rouge Artist in Striking Spice.
So it's really like beautiful,
it kind of matches with my hair,
matches with the autumn vibes.
And the other shade I like, it is Stylish Lychee.
A bit more of an orange-y base.
But I think today, I'm gonna do the MAC one.
(elegant jazzy piano music)
(lid clicks)
