- Hi, everyone.
Welcome back to the Adore Beauty YouTube channel.
My name's Megan, I'm part of the social content team.
And today we're back again
for another Zodiac inspired makeup look.
Now, we had planned to film this video
in the studio slash office,
but lockdown had other plans.
So we are here in my room, welcome.
Before we jump straight into the makeup look,
I'm just going to give you some quick facts on Virgos.
Okay, now I've done some research
and popped all of the key facts into my phone
so I'm going to read off that here.
Fun fact, I actually am a Virgo.
So all of this info that I'm going to relay
in a moment is kind of describing me,
which is a bit confronting, but that's okay.
We're going to do it for the content.
If you are born between August 23rd to September 22nd,
you are a Virgo.
Virgos are an earth sign
and Virgos are usually most compatible with those
who are Taurus, Capricorn, Cancer or Scorpio.
Now my boyfriend is a Libra,
so that's a bit awkward, but that's okay.
We'll make it work.
Now strengths of Virgos are that they are reliable, kind,
creative, intelligent, modest, and hardworking.
I'll take it.
And weaknesses is that they can be hyper-critical.
They can pay excessive attention to insignificant details.
They can be stubborn, uptight, and picky.
That's the tea on Virgos.
I think you've got all your facts that you need now.
So let's just jump straight into the makeup look.
For my base today I'm going to use
IT cosmetics "Confidence in a cream",
which is a moisturiser,
but also doubles as an amazing makeup base.
I'm just going to pop on a really nice
hydrating moisturiser to give me a nice glow
and make sure that my skin's nicely hydrated.
For foundation today I'm going to take
this Spectrum B01 buffing brush,
and I'm going to apply the IT cosmetics,
"Your skin but better" foundation and skincare,
water light to medium coverage,
natural radiant finish foundation.
Very long title, but here we are.
I've been really liking this lately.
(gentle music)
Now that foundation is on,
I'm going to jump ahead to my eyes
and the reason why I'm doing that
is because if I do get any fallout,
I don't want to have my concealer
and my blush and bronzer on.
So I'm just going to pop some concealer onto my eyes.
And today I'm using the ordinary
high coverage formula concealer.
Sometimes I do choose a slightly lighter
concealer shade for my eyeshadow,
just to ensure that the shadows are going to really pop.
And I'm just going to sit that concealer
with the Bobby Brown "Sheer Finish Pressed Powder",
just to ensure that there's no creasing.
Okay, now, this is a step
that I pretty much always do with all looks.
And I'm going to dip into "Hoola" bronzer by Benefit.
I just love using a bronzer within the crease.
I just find that it creates a really nice unison
between your cheeks and your eyes.
A very natural way to add some dimension to the eye.
I better stop and explain the colours of Virgo.
So the colour palette of Virgo when I was looking online
was pretty much really earthy tones.
So think your browns, your beiges and also green.
And it does make a lot of sense
because Virgo is an earth sign.
That's why I've used "Hoola" in my crease,
but also I use "Hoola" in pretty much
every single makeup look.
Now, I'm going to want to really
press into those early type of tones
so I'm actually going to grab "Life's a Peach".
It looks like this but I really like
that it has those terracotta type of vibes.
So this is now going into the upper part of my eyelid.
And I do kind of take my shadow out a little bit.
Okay, time to spotlight that green colour.
So I'm using the Iconic London "Nice to Naughty"
eye shadow palette, which is actually
the one that I used in our last Zodiac look,
the Leo look, which you can find right here.
You can click there and watch it.
Today, I'm going to be going towards the shade.
"Don't get Gel" which is this one right here.
And it is that beautiful, earthy green colour,
but it does have slight flecks of like a goldy,
I would almost say like a muted gold base.
Oh, look at that shade.
So I'm going to take that on my finger,
which is my absolute favourite way to apply shimmer shadows,
to ensure that I get a really nice hit of pigment.
And I'm just going to apply that
through the centre of my mobile lid.
And I'm just going to softly diffuse that
and disperse the colour across my lid.
I am just going to go in with a little bit more
to really amp up that pigment.
I'm liking that.
It's different to what I'd usually wear
and it's a vibe.
So another way to apply a nice shimmered
pigmented shadow like this is to use a flat shader brush.
Spray it with some Mac fix plus spray
to really get the most out of your shadows.
Now I just kind of want to merge this green shadow
and my transition shadow a little bit more
so I'm going to dip back into "Hoola".
(gentle music)
Okay. I'm pretty happy with how that's looking.
I'm going to do a little bit of a cleanup
because I can see that I've got
some shadows happening underneath.
So I'm just going to go in with some concealer.
So today I'm going to be using
the Lancome "Teint Idole Ultra Wear" all over concealer.
This is a little bit bougie,
but I've really been enjoying it
so I'm going to use it today.
Now it's at this step that you can go in and conceal
any blemishes or spots that need a little bit more coverage.
I don't always do this to be honest.
Sometimes I just leave blemishes on their own
to live their best life, but for a full glam look,
I thought since I'm here and look how well
that's covered that little red spot.
And this is a really great way of cleaning up
any fallout that you might have from your shadows.
I do just want to add a little baby wing
and I also want to do the baby wing in brown
because that is the colour scheme of today.
And I think it's just going to really
compliment the eye look.
So I'm going to be using
the Mac liquid last 24 hour waterproof liner,
and it's in the shade "Cocoa Bear".
So hopefully you see the warmth in that eyeliner there.
You can actually apply it with the little brush
that it comes with.
It's very fine and super precise.
But what I like to do is actually grab my eyeliner brush
from Spectrum Brushes, which is the A09 brush.
Take some of the liner on the brush.
And then I'm going to paint on my little wing, my baby wing.
(gentle music)
Okay, so baby wing turned into a bit of a giant wing,
but that's okay, I don't mind it for the look.
So my liners are now on and I'm loving them
'cause I just love a liner moment,
but now it's time for mascara.
So I'm going to go in first with one coat
of Lancome's "Lush Idole"
and then I'm going to use Telescopic mascara from L'Oreal.
Okay. So mascara is now on.
I'm going to leave the bottom of my eyes for a little bit
and I'm going to jump straight into cheeks.
So I'm going to be using "Hoola" bronzer
to chisel my face today,
and I'm going to be using the chisel and flush
brush from Napoleon Perdis.
(gentle music)
So as always just applying that bronzer to my cheekbones,
the perimeters of my forehead and my jaw line.
And now on to blush,
I'm going to be mixing two from L'Oreal Paris
and it is the "Life's a Peach" blush
and "Melon Dollar Baby".
Now to add a little bit of glow
to the high points of my face,
I'm going to use the "Miss Glow it All"
palette from Benefit,
and I'm going to dip into soft gold, rose gold, ooh,
soft gold, rose gold and peach gold.
And I'm just going to apply that
to the high points of my face
using the Spectrum C07 brush.
So this is a really beautiful cream palette
that just adds a really nice, subtle,
natural glow to your skin
and I've been obsessed with it lately.
Now I'm going to go back in to the "Nice to Naughty"
palette from Iconic London.
Think I might take the tiniest little bit
of this shade here, which is called "Noted".
I'm using the Mac 239S brush,
which is a nice little flat shader brush.
And I'm just going to dust a tiny bit of that
along my brow bone.
Just so that we can have a nice little pop of highlight.
Beautiful, love that.
And I'm now going to use this same brush
to dust a nice shadow underneath my eye,
just so that I can really complete that look
and make sure that it's not too top-heavy.
Think I'm going to go back in with trusty "Hoola"
so that we can create a nice little border around my eye.
Now, if you ever feel like you've put too much
underneath your eye,
just grab your foundation brush or a buffing brush
and just go in and diffuse that edge. Super simple.
And to finish off those bottom lashes,
I'm just going to use the "Lash Idole" on my lower lashes.
Okay. And now it's time for brows.
So what I'm going to use
is the Micro Filing pen from Benefit.
And I'm just going to lightly shade in
sparse areas of my brows.
My brows are not my strongest point at the moment.
We've been in lockdown for a long time.
And it's been a hot minute since I've seen my brow stylist.
So bear with me here.
I usually like to go in with a clear brown mascara.
This one is from Benefit that I'm using today
and it's the 24 hour brow setup.
Okay. So now it's time for lips.
I want to keep things nice and earthy and natural,
especially since we've got a lot going on in the eyes.
So I'm going to use Mac "Stripped Down" to line my lips.
(gentle music)
And I slightly coloured in a little bit
to create almost like a semi ombre lip with "Stripped Down"
and the natural colour of my lip itself.
And then I'm just going to go over my lips with a lip gloss.
And that is the "Crystal" lip glass
from Anastasio Beverly Hills.
And there we have it, I think.
That is the finished look.
I don't think I've forgotten anything.
Oh. No, I want to do a setting spray.
So I want to use the It cosmetics,
"Your skin, but better" setting spray.
It's got skin loving ingredients like aloe vera,
hyaluronic acid and coconut water in there.
So it just keeps your skin looking nice and plump and glowy.
(aerosol spraying)
Okay. Now we're really done.
This is the completed makeup look.
Gonna leave my hair like this.
(gentle music)
So that is the finished look.
