Hi guys, it’s Kendall, and I’m back for my fourth Beauty Secrets article. I am so ready for this. You have no idea. This is about to be the best glam look you’ve ever seen in your life. I can’t even take myself seriously when I say . I have my ginger tea with fresh ginger chunks in it. I started with these little gold eye patches just because I needed to wake myself up a little. I’m gonna take these off, and we’re gonna start.
The Gua Sha Routine
I usually start with a little gua sha, a 100% virgin coconut oil, face oil, and I love it ’cause it’s thick, and the gua sha just slides. The reason I do it before I wash my face is because I’m using a lot of heavy oils, and to make sure all the oils come off my face, I cleanse after. So right when I wake up in the morning, before I do anything, this is what I do. I saw a video online of a very seemingly pro gua sha woman, and she said, “Do this before you wash your face.” So that’s why I do it. Then I’ll spray a little rose water over the top so I get a nice glide.
The Face Cleansing Step
Now I’ll wash my face to get all the oil off. I use this Jan Marini face cleanser in the morning. They tell you on the back of the bottle to apply this to a dry face. So that’s what I always do. I wet my fingertips a little, and I do a quarter-size amount. I am super anal about washing my face because I am acne-prone. I’ve had acne my whole childhood, some of my adult life. So I am super on top of my routine.
Skincare Essentials
I’m obsessed with this Kylie Cosmetics lip butter, and I swear it’s not because she’s my sister. Like, this is really nice. So good for you, girl. It is so silky and smooth and really does its thing. I’m going to use this La Mer face cream. My skin journey has been up and down. I obviously have my good days and my bad days like everyone does, but I feel like I’m in a good place right now. I get hormonal acne, sometimes little breakouts when I’m around my period and stuff like that.
Sunscreen and More Skincare
My last skincare product before I start my makeup is the Elta MD sunscreen. I love this. I’ve been using it for years, and sunscreen’s super important. I always try and keep my face out of the sun. I’m really big on hats and stuff these days, especially as I’m getting older and just learning more about protecting your skin. So it’s big for me. I love serums. I do PRP with microneedling, and I really love that for my scarring. I think it has anti-aging qualities, properties. I’m not really sure, but I really like it. I think it makes my skin feel really healthy.
Natural Glowy Makeup Look
Today, I am going to do something super different from what I’ve done before. No, I think I’m going to do my natural, normal, glowy skin. I’ll probably do a cute bronzy brown eye, and then I think I’m gonna top it off with a red lip. I’m excited. It’s spring. Summer’s coming. I am going to use this Chanel foundation.
Concealer and Contouring
Next, I am going to do concealer. This one is so nice. It’s the L’Oreal Paris “Infallible” concealer. I just do a little dot here and a little dot there. When I’m normally doing my makeup, I’m definitely listening to some music. It depends on the day and what I’m feeling. But most of the time, it’s either some Janae or Jazmine Sullivan. Now, I’m going to do my contour. I still use this one from me and Kylie’s collection. I just really like the deepness of the color. I apply it in a potentially weird way.
Blush and Finishing Touches
I’m going to top it off with more cream bronzer. I really like this Charlotte Tilbury one, especially for my nose contour and my eyes, and it adds to the natural glowiness. I love contour, I love blush, so the more, the merrier. I am now going to dive into my cream blush.
Brows and Final Steps
I’m going to brush my brows out with this Anastasia brow pencil. This is a really good brow pencil. I’ve been through a bit of a brow journey just working in the industry. My brows have been tortured, but now I just let them live and fly.
Red Lip and Final Look
I’m seeing this trend of undone red lips, kind of like French girl vibes. I’m going to try it. I applied some and smudged it in with my finger. I’m into this no-liner, smudged-out red lip moment. Success! That is it. This is my spring French girl makeup look, and I’m really into this new lip vibe. I hope you guys enjoyed it.
