Hello everybody, welcome back to my channel
My name is Jessica and today's video is going to be on this soft glam makeup,
perfect for the holidays or family gatherings
when you want to get glam but don't want to look like you're wearing too much makeup
This video is in partnership with Kaja for their holiday gift sets
so if you want to see how I got this look, just keep watching
Starting with my favorite eyebrow pencil, I'm filling in my brows
This is the Em Cosmetics Fine Liner Brow Pencil in "Deep Taupe", which is a perfect cool-toned brown
Next, I'm gonna prep my eyes for eyeshadow
Using the Kaja Beauty Bento in "Chocolate Dahlia", I'm taking this neutral brown shade
and sweeping that all over my eyelid
I want today's makeup to be super blended with no harsh lines whatsoever
so I'm gonna create a pseudo wing with a dark brown eyeshadow
Next, I'm using a deep brown eyeliner on the outer edge of my eyes
Going back into the dark brown eyeshadow, I'm blending the eyeliner into the eyeshadow
I'm gonna curl my lashes and apply mascara
Next, we're gonna add some sparkle
I'm using the "Orange Blossom" Beauty Bento
from the Kaja Lookin' Like a Snack Holiday Set of full-sized Kaja favorites
in a gradient to create a smooth transition from the dark brown shadow into a highlighted inner corner
This full-face gift set also includes the Cheeky Stamp in "Saucy",
Mochi Glow in "Toy Alien",
and Cushy Vibe in "Chiffon"
I'm first applying the "Orange Blossom" shimmery golden tones with a brush to set the base of the sparkle
and then for a more high-shine glitter, I'm using my fingers
I'm also going to apply the Moon crystal sparkling eye pigment in "Luminary" with my fingers
to my inner corner and brow bone for a brighter shimmering eye look
This is included along with another best-selling Moon Crystal Sparkling Eye Pigment in "Mystical"
in the Moon Lit Full-Size Duo Holiday Set
These feel like weightless jelly eyeshadows
and they're actually formulated with real crystal powders, which makes them super sparkly
For falsies, I stacked a pair of detail lashes over brown strip lashes
Before I start with the base, I'm gonna prep my lips with the Pat McGrath lip balm in "Noir"
For primer, I'm using the COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream
Next, I'm going to apply foundation and concealer
I'm setting everything and then moving on to contour
This Focallure Sculpt Glow Palette has been my favorite to contour lately
It's the perfect cool-toned shade and it's super affordable
Moving on to highlighter, I'm using the Kaja Mochi Glow in "Toy Alien"
This is a powder gel highlighter, so it feels like a cream but finishes like a powder
Going back to the eyes, I'm smoking out the lower lash line
I wanted to try a different technique I actually saw on Beyonce,
so this creates the illusion of more lifted eyes
First, I'm drawing on a defined outline,
and then I'm adding shimmer to the inner highlighted section
I'm using two different mascaras on my lower lashes today – one to hold the curl,
and another darker one to add volume and drama
Moving on to lips, I'm gonna first line them with my NYX Slim Lip Pencil
Next, I'm applying the Kaja Cushy Vibe in "Chiffon"
I'm going to apply a little concealer to create a custom pale pink shade
To top it off, I'm applying my favorite BUXOM Lip Cream in "Dolly"
I love the minty scent of this gloss, and it has a plumping effect too
Finally, I'm applying the Kaja Cheeky Stamp in "Saucy"
I like to apply this after my base rather than before because this way,
the blush shows up better and lasts longer
To prevent the base from getting patchy, I first stamp it onto the back of my hand
before applying it to the apples of my cheeks and the tip of my nose
And that completes this look! 🎀
Thank you so much for watching and thank you to Kaja again for sponsoring this video
