00:01Hey guys, it's me Yann, and this is Beauty With Me.
00:08Every morning I wake up at a quarter past seven.
00:14I make coffee on my French press and go to my terrace where I think about the day ahead
00:18and read a couple chapters of my favorite book, Harry Potter, in French.
00:23Then, when I feel like I'm ready to take on the day,
00:25I retire to my vanity for my skincare rituals and my makeup routine.
00:30Just kidding, I don't do any of that.
00:33In reality, I wake up at 8.50 with 20 minutes to get out the door.
00:36So this is how I get ready in the morning.
00:43So first things first, I always brush my teeth and wash my face.
00:52Then, I get my cleanser, and that is Glossier's Milky Jelly.
01:04Bam, done, ready for skincare.
01:06I start with this toner by Pixi.
01:09It has glycolic acid in it, which is going to help exfoliate my skin.
01:12And then, after I put this on, just kind of tap it on like this.
01:18It exfoliates my skin.
01:19To top that off, I use a little bit of this serum by Bare Minerals.
01:26It has salicylic acid in it, which is blemish fighting.
01:30Then, since that's kind of enough hydration in my skin on the day-to-day in the summer,
01:35because I use a tinted moisturizer, I'll usually go in with a mattifying gel primer
01:41and then a tinted moisturizer.
01:43So right now, I'm really into this one by Benefit.
01:46It's called the Porefessional Matte Rescue.
01:50It's a gel primer.
01:52It's silicone-free.
01:52This keeps my makeup on longer, which is definitely a plus when it's like literally 95 degrees out.
01:58AKA, right now.
02:00It's really, really, really hot.
02:01Then, I move on to my tinted moisturizer.
02:05This one's by NARS.
02:07It is so good.
02:09It's called the Radiant Tinted Moisturizer, which means that it does have a little bit of a dewy shininess,
02:16but I think that when you couple it with a mattifying primer, it kind of makes your skin just look
02:21very natural.
02:22What I really like about this tinted moisturizer is that it gives a nice, like, sheer veil of coverage.
02:28Powder is an essential step.
02:31When it's freaking blistering hot outside, it keeps your makeup on longer.
02:37It makes your face matte.
02:38And when it's really hot, like it is right now, I'll use a liberal amount of powder because I don't
02:43want my makeup just melting off throughout the day.
02:46So now that my powder is done, I'm going to move on to my bronzer.
02:50And today I'm going to use this one by Han.
02:53It uses a bunch of organic ingredients, a natural bronzer.
02:57It has cocoa powder in it.
02:59And it's a really nice matte and tawny color, which makes it kind of perfect for contouring and bronzing.
03:05So on the day-to-day, I don't go crazy with the contour.
03:10I just kind of dust it under my cheekbones.
03:13And then I move on to blush.
03:16Blush, blush, blush.
03:18I'm going to use this blush.
03:19This is a Clinique blush.
03:21It's so pretty.
03:22It looks like a flower.
03:25That's like pretty much my face done.
03:28I just need to do highlighter, which is my favorite step.
03:32I always go back to this one by Becca.
03:36It's called Champagne Pop.
03:39This is an eyelid primer by Lorac.
03:42You can tell it's been well-loved because the label is just totally destroyed.
03:46But I always use an eyelid primer because my eyelids are super, super duper oily.
03:51And I will go in with a little bit of eyeshadow.
03:55I'll usually just use a little bit of a matte mid-tone brown shade.
04:02So this is the Tarte in Bloom palette.
04:04It's a beautiful palette.
04:05So I put this in the crease of my eye in windshield wiper motions.
04:09Because basically this is going to define my crease.
04:13Which is this little area right here under my orbital bone.
04:17And that's going to give my eyes kind of a more round and open appearance.
04:21So now I'm going to move on to my mascara.
04:23I'm going to use this one by Catrice.
04:24It is waterproof.
04:26I only use waterproof mascara.
04:28It's the only thing that will hold my eyelashes up when I curl them.
04:31I kind of think of it as hairspray for my eyelashes.
04:35And I like to get really close.
04:38So I'll use a handheld mirror.
04:39I'll go really close to my eye.
04:41And curl it.
04:43Curl it up in like little pumps.
04:45Look at the difference even just like when I curled this eye and I didn't curl this eye.
04:50This eye just looks so much more awake.
04:53Wiggle up the base and pull up.
04:56When it comes to mascara especially, I'm a big fan of drugstore stuff.
05:01I pretty much exclusively use drugstore mascaras because they're just so good.
05:06And you have to throw them away after like six months anyway.
05:10So you might as well just get a $10 or less tube.
05:14Sometimes I'll just leave like this if I really don't have time.
05:16Like I woke up past 8.50.
05:19But since I do have time today, I'm going to use a little bit of eyeliner.
05:24It's from L'Oreal.
05:28This collection of liners is really, really good.
05:31It's super pigmented.
05:32It lasts all day.
05:34I wore this eyeliner for 11 hours at a music festival.
05:37And I came home and my wings were perfect.
05:43Yeah, okay.
05:44You can go now.
05:45Last but not least, lips.
05:47Day to day, I'll usually just use something that's really quick and easy to apply.
05:51That's not going to be a lot of maintenance.
05:54I have loved Maybelline Baby Lips for years.
05:58I think I got my first tube of it when I was in high school.
06:01This one is my favorite one.
06:02I think this one's Cherry Me.
06:04And I put it on and it just gives a nice little flush of red.
06:09So that is my makeup done.
06:10It usually takes me around 8 to 10 minutes to do my full face.
06:14Which means I have about 10 minutes to do my hair and get dressed.
06:19So my hair routine is super duper fast.
06:22I have my trusty flat iron.
06:29And I will curl my hair with it really quickly.
06:32I'll usually put it on a pretty high heat setting.
06:35Anywhere between 380 degrees Fahrenheit to 400.
06:39It'll create a very soft wave that you can go in and make it wavier if you want.
06:45It can be messy.
06:47It's not like a perfect pin curl.
06:49So if you have a few bits that are straight, people aren't really going to notice.
06:53To finish it all off, I will spray a little bit of salt spray through my mid-lengths.
06:59To give it a little bit of hold and also just give it a little bit more of that Gucci
07:03quality.
07:04Smells like a beach vacation.
07:07And there you have it.
07:07That is my hair done.
07:09And I did that in less than 5 minutes.
07:12So that means that I have 5 more minutes to get dressed.
07:18To those of you who wake up really early in the morning and have all the time in the world
07:22to get ready.
07:22I have so much respect for you.
07:24But for those of you who are like me.
07:27Who wake up really late and only have a few minutes to get ready.
