- What's up Allure, it's Loren Gray,
and today I'm here with Smudge,
and I'm gonna be showing you
my makeup routine that I do when I'm in a rush,
and need to get out the door quickly.
So let's do it.
[timer ticking]
[door buzzes]
So let's get into it.
The first thing that I do is foundation,
and this is the Cover FX Power Play Foundation.
I like this one because it has little squeezy things,
so you don't have to mess around,
you can just put it right on your face,
and then I use a sponge,
and blend it out really fast.
This is also nice because it blends really easily.
This one's in the shade G50,
but I have three different shades
depending on what my skin tone is.
I usually use G3O to G60.
Always make sure to get it to your ears and on your neck,
that's a mistake I made in middle school a lot.
I started doing makeup when I was in middle school.
I was actually bullied pretty heavily.
I just started doing makeup because I was insecure. [laughs]
So the next thing I'm gonna use is the Tarte Shape Tape.
This is my favorite concealer.
So I just that under my eyes,
a little bit on my forehead,
like in the center,
here and sometimes I'll even do it here,
so that it blends a little bit better with my neck.
I know it sounds weird but it works.
And I use the concealer that's under my eyes,
on my eyelid too, so that it covers
'cause I have really veiny eyelids.
I learned how to do makeup from watching YouTube videos.
I think I started in sixth grade.
And I would watch YouTube videos all the time
'cause I was homeschooled in sixth grade,
so I would finish my schoolwork
and finish and then I would watch make videos
and practice makeup all night.
I feel like a lot of beauty gurus
would be really disappointed in me right now
for the way this sponge.
I know you're not supposed to swipe it,
but I don't know.
It blends it good.
[laughs] I don't know.
I also blend my makeup really aggressively.
Okay, next step is the Laura Mercier Setting Powder,
looks like this.
It's in the shade Translucent.
I don't use a lot of that because my face is really dry.
But I just take a brush like this
this one's from Hourglass,
and I just do it under my eyes,
and I try not to powder my whole face,
because I feel like when I powder my whole face,
it starts looking really cakey
so I just do under my eyes,
on my forehead a little bit,
and then on my chin
and always right here,
I get oily right here for some reason.
And that's pretty much it for powder.
Now I'm moving into brows,
I use the Anastasia Brow Wiz
and this is in the shade, soft brown.
And it's the pencil version.
I think there's a big difference
between when I do my own makeup
and when other people do my makeup,
I feel like I just know my own face the best. [laughs]
Especially when it comes to my eyebrows,
'cause my eyebrows are blonde,
a lot of people don't know what to do with them.
So sometimes I'll just do them myself.
I've definitely had some interesting
makeup artist experiences.
So I'm just going underneath and then on top of my eyebrow,
I used to fill my eyebrows in really crazy
and I stopped doing that because it looked not so good.
This takes a lot of concentration.
This is one of the most important parts of my makeup for me
because my eyebrows need a lot of help.
And then I just brush it out with this side,
the spoolie side.
That's pretty good.
So you can see a big difference.
I also like to fill in the front,
like really, really lightly
'cause I don't want it go too crazy in the front,
or else your eyebrows look like blocks.
So you kinda want it to fade.
I used to use the blonde one,
but it just didn't look right anymore.
It was too light, okay wait.
They're really uneven, 'cause I can't see what I,
[timer ticking]
okay, there's one.
It's kinda annoying
'cause this eyebrow on the left or I guess the right,
I don't know.
It's longer in the front than this one,
so I gotta give this one a little extra help.
The next step for the eyebrows, is the brow gel.
And I use this clear one from Benefit,
so 24-Hour Brow Setter.
It's almost like glue for your eyebrows.
They will not move,
but I brush them up
'cause I like them to look a little bit fluffier.
Yeah, there's the eyebrows.
I also tint my eyebrows because it helps me a little bit
when it comes to shaping them quickly.
They're kinda fading right now,
but I need to do that again because it really helps.
Next step is bronzer.
This is by Lovecraft Beauty
and I use bronzer as eyeshadow too,
'cause I don't really wear a lot of eyeshadow.
So obviously this palette's been through it,
but I just mix together the two lighter shades,
and I just do the sides of my face.
I don't really contour, I just bronze
'cause I don't really know how to contour,
I'm not very good at it,
never have been.
Okay, so now I take this two smaller brushes.
So I have this one that's fluffier
and this one that skinnier
and I just take that and I put it in my crease,
with the fluffier brush.
If I have more time
sometimes I put a different color on the lid,
or something in the outer corner.
So now I'm gonna go underneath my eye
with the skinnier brush,
and I do it on this side too.
Now I'm just contouring my nose.
[timer ticking]
Next I'm gonna do blush.
I have the Cover FX Blush right here.
I just started using this and I really like it.
I just use a blush brush,
do that there,
this on this side,
and a little bit on my nose.
Now I'm gonna do highlight,
I use the Hourglass highlight palette,
and I'm using this shade,
it looks dark but it's not.
And I just put it here,
a little bit on my brow bone,
on both sides,
inner corner, inner corner,
cheek, tip of the nose, bridge of the nose,
and that's pretty much it for highlight.
My makeup for my normal day to day
and for my TikToks, is the same.
I pretty much do the same makeup routine every day.
So sometimes I experiment.
Now I'm doing mascara.
This is the L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara.
I got glue on it but that's what it looks like,
and I'm using this as a mirror.
And I'm just gonna do my mascara really quick.
[timer ticking]
So mascara is on, and now I'm going to do my eyeliner.
I just started using the Haus Laboratories Eyeliner
by Lady Gaga,
and it's my favorite.
So I usually just do a quick winged eyeliner.
I've been doing this for a long time,
so it's really fast for me.
I just take it from the middle of my eye to the outside,
draw a wing, like that.
And then I just connect it all.
I learned how to do my wing liner
just from a lot of practice honestly.
Oh my god,
[gasps] I just got eyeliner in my eye, can you'll see that?
[timer ticking]
Hold up.
[bright music begins]
Okay so that's one side and I'm gonna do the other side.
[bright music continues]
Okay so that's how I do my winged eyeliner.
Liner takes a lot of concentration.
Okay, so now I'm gonna do my eyelashes,
these are the Ardell Wispies.
Eyelashes don't take me a long time,
especially when I have eyeliner on,
I feel like eyeliner actually helps lashes go on quicker,
because you don't have to be as precise
about where you put them
and I use the Duo black lash glue.
I usually do my lips while I wait for my eyelashes to dry.
So I'm just gonna put the glue on,
and then I'm going to wait.
[bright music continues]
Okay, so now I'm gonna do my lips
and first I use the Patrick Ta lip liner.
This is in the shade, She's Humble.
And I over-lined a little bit down here,
and then I go over my cupid's bow.
And I fill it out a little bit with this too.
Now I'm gonna do the rest of my lips,
for that I use the lipstick by MAC,
I usually use Love U Back, but I don't know where it is.
So I'm gonna use Honey Love.
And it's basically gone,
but it is gone, but I make it work,
I just put it on, [chuckles]
and then I rub my lips together.
And then I use this one,
which is Velvet Teddy, on the outside,
to give a little bit of dimension.
Now I'm gonna put gloss over that.
This is the Buxom lip gloss, the shade April.
This is my favorite one.
I just put that right over top.
[timer ticking]
And then the last step to pull everything together
is the lashes and bottom mascara.
So I'm just gonna pop the lashes on really quick.
There's one.
[bright music]
And then I'm gonna use the same mascara
on the bottom that I did on the top.
The L'Oreal Telescopic,
I've been using this since the sixth grade,
and it's really nice and really cheap,
which is nice, really affordable.
See there's one side,
and there's the other side.
[timer ticking]
So this is the finished look.
Thank you guys so much for watching.
This has been my quick 10 minute makeup look.
I will see you guys next time.
Bye.
