Simple GRWM with Clinique Skincare + Mom Life Update | Ami Desai
hello everyone and welcome back to my channel so today’s video is going to be an updated get ready with me i feel like as times change so does my makeup application especially right now we are at home more um i recently just had baby number three there’s just a lot that i’ve done to minimize my routine and i want to say thank you so much to clinique for sponsoring this video because i am going to be sharing a product that i have been using for some time it’s actually been over a year that i’ve been using this product i actually did a video last year around the same product it’s the same sentiment i have then which is when you take care of your skin you really then can make makeup that much more fun that becomes even more of a thing as you age so for me especially at 39 it’s something that i definitely take my skincare super seriously um just because now is the time when i am starting to see the fine lines the wrinkles the sagginess so anyways we’re gonna do an updated get ready with me that’s going to show how i’ve simplified my routine also i’m gonna talk a little bit about you know baby number three and why we decided to do it and all that kind of stuff so i feel like i get a lot of questions about that too so let’s get to it so as i mentioned this is the clinique smart clinical md multi-dimensional age transformer duo so that means you are getting two creams in one you have a re-sculpting cream as well as a re-volumizing cream and now what that does is if you want to think about it re-sculpting is really going to help anywhere that you have sagginess or you want to see firmness in your skin so i am pointing right where i need it and want it around the neck around the jawline so i can feel a little bit more contoured um and one thing i love to do you can use this cream morning and night i like to keep this in the fridge in the mornings i love pulling it out and putting on it just kind of gives me that burst of energy um that i so desperately need these days so the resculpting side has soybean seed extract sweet almond seed extract and whey protein which whey protein is rich in amino acids these are all things that are going to help tighten and firm your skin and then the purple side is the re-volumizing side which is going to do exactly what it says it’s going to be like your little filler in a jar it’s going to help plump the skin in areas where you might see more concavity and so you want to bring that back as much as you can and you want to prevent loss as much as you can the revolumizing side has a lot of plumping agents like hyaluronic acid it’s something that’s really going to help retain moisture bring hydration back to your skin which therefore is going to lead to a lot of plumping effects um and hyaluronic acid can attract up to 1000 times its weight in water so if you think about that your this is going to be something that you can more likely than not see in more immediate results this cream itself this transformer do is something that i have had on my vanity as a staple for some time now and like anything just like with exercise you have to continue to invest in your skincare in order to see the results so it’s not something you can just do like here and there and then also it’s like oh my skin looks amazing it’s you have to put in the work use it am pm and then you start slowly seeing the results so um that’s just one thing that i always like to keep in mind and tell people so this retails for 69.
uh and you can get it at nordstrom or nordstrom.com which i will be sure to link in the comments below all right now it is on to the get ready with me and i’m going to show you guys how honestly i use minimal amounts of products to get it done for my base i’m going to be using also the clinique even better makeup this is spf 15 in it it evens and corrects it’s like a light to medium formula and i just love it because it does a really nice job of you know just covering what you need but also letting your like real skin just breathe through so i just take a little bit and i kind of spot it wherever i need it and i like it because the formula is really nice and light so you can literally move with it now i’m going in with a little concealer i like to go about a shade lighter in concealer and i’m using my tarte shape tape and i kind of like to just make sure that i’m covering areas that need it i don’t go too heavy but i do like using a fuller coverage concealer so for me that really means hitting like the dark under eyes that i’m trying to conceal and then also i had some melasma from pregnancy which is starting to fade in part thanks to the clinique md i am noticing that lightening up which is really nice but the concealer just helps ensure that it’s going to be covered the entire day my biggest pet peeve is like if you get ready and then in the morning it looks great and then halfway through the day you like look at yourself you’re like oh all right now we are going in with setting powder i’m using this one from maybelline it’s the fit me in shade fair light i like something that’s easy to work with and finely milled and i find that setting makeup just helps again keep everything in place so i will not have to touch my face or like retouch makeup at all pretty much the whole day because this will just ensure everything stays put and then after i’m done putting any sort of powder products on i’ll always go in and just hit it with a little bit of setting spray and i like to go in with it because i tend to have more dry skin um so this just helps me kind of bring it back to life a little bit so another part of my get ready with me that i think has changed on a day-to-day basis before i might go in and do like a whole cream contour now i think i kind of like filter that out and i think that resonates really well with kind of where i am in life too three kids don’t have that much time um two that are homeschooling so it’s just a lot of stuff and priorities that i have to tend to before i get to myself so with that said like cutting out a step is really great so i’m going to take this bronzer from nars it’s just a paradise found bronzing powder so i’m just taking that with a little brush i’m going to just help contour and bring warmth to my face using a more packed dense brush so it helps just get the product where i need it if you want just warmth to your face you can take a more full brush like this and then just hit your face almost like a powder and i like this too because i feel like it just brightens and brings more warmth and life to my face do you see how much more awake i don’t know i feel like it gives you that healthy glow i used to be a big fan of powder blush and now i am obsessed with cream blush i just think it like gives your skin that healthy i keep saying healthy glow but it really does that it just gives you that youthful look and again i do think that when you take care of your skin it allows you to use products that you otherwise wouldn’t think you could so for instance as we do get older we notice you know more wrinkles and fine lines and things settling into your skin so cream products can settle into fine lines but if you are taking all the right steps with your skin care it does help when you want to use products like cream blush so i’m going in with this this is from jamie makeup and it’s in the pink one so even though this is cream you can use it with your fingers i still like going in with a brush and stippling it into my skin and one thing i like to do too is lately is i go over my nose and i just hit it just a little bit i feel like it again gives you just that youthful look and i’m going to take that same bronzer that i was using from nars and i’m going to apply shadow with that again for me it’s really making sure i get done as much as i can with the least amount of products i just really want to look put together i’m going to quickly curl my lashes i feel like curling lashes too totally opens up your eyes now this is one trick that i think is so underrated especially when you’re trying to make your eyes look awake but let’s say you don’t like to put liner on you take a retractable pencil it has to be retractable it should not be a one a pencil that you have to sharpen put a retractable pencil and you tight line meaning you go under the lash line and don’t worry if you mess up because in the beginning it does take time but even if you mess up like you see i just messed up just a tiny bit you can just smudge it out and it looks really great still but it totally opens up the eye without trying so i’m gonna do it on this foot too and it looks scary but it’s really not i promise i’m just gonna put a little bit of that liner on top because i did it on the other eye without even trying and then like that alone i feel like it just kind of opened up my eyes a little bit i’m gonna go in with some mascara this is the man-eater mascara from tarte so i would say as far as having kids one of my friends gave me the best piece of advice or she told me this and she was like listen if you’ve had two kids and you keep talking about having number three it most likely means that you’re not done so you’re probably gonna have number three that always stuck with me and she’s like it just means you’re not done because until that door is really closed for whatever reason it’s just always gonna be looming over your head and i was like you know what you’re right and so when me and my husband were actually talking about you know taking the plunge and trying for baby three we went into it with a real open mind because again in our late 30s and we’re really happy and we feel really fortunate to have two healthy kids and so just didn’t want to you know put too much pressure on ourselves and so when we decided to do it it was really interesting because it’s the one thing i always think about but i will tell you i actually did not feel as connected to baby number three as i did with my other two and i don’t know if it was because it’s my third baby and i’ve had one boy and one girl but i think a lot of it was that it’s number three so i was kind of like should we be doing this um i think some of it was that i was 38 and i’m like gosh i’m already older and part of it was also that we were in the midst of a pandemic so i got pregnant in november of 2019 the pandemic hit in early march and we started doing distance learning and i was like full on in my pregnancy and i was just like oh my gosh how am i going to do this when the baby comes and how long is this going to last how am i going to you know deliver a baby during a pandemic it was insane it was a little intense a lot of anxiety but now three months later post baby i can tell you that i would not dream of it any other way i we are so happy we are so fulfilled it is amazing it is crazy people always ask like what’s it like with three and i will tell you it’s insane um because even though the older kids are older their requirements and needs become a lot more too like they now have harder homework they have needs for different sports they’re doing um and they just know a lot more now right so they require they require us in a different way it’s not so much for the bare necessities anymore whereas when they’re little they rely on you so much to you know make sure that you can provide them with food and nourishment all that stuff now it’s like they need the the support emotional support if you’re on the fence of having baby number two or baby number three and you really stop and think and say you know what i want this baby no matter what if regardless if it’s a boy or girl regardless of what kind of state we’re in in the world i still want to do this honestly just do it just do it it’s it’s good it’s amazing that’s all i can say okay now i’m just gonna go in with a little bit of highlighter going in with this little quad from dior i love this one it’s the universal one it just kind of gives a nice glow to the face i say this over and over but it does really start with good skincare because if you do have good skincare everything else will just fall into place um i feel like a broken record saying that but it is so true i can’t say it enough because honestly i have women that are in their mid-20s that ask me like okay what should i be doing like take care of your skin first like don’t worry so much about the makeup obviously the makeup is is necessary but it’s the skincare that’s really really going to set you up for a decade later which is then i’m like that’s me that’s me you at 29 me at 39 this is what you have to do i’ve been there i’ve done it so you know what i mean take my advice i’m gonna go in with a little lipstick it’s a stick lipstick which i love from maybelline i’m going with a little lip oil keeps my lips really hydrated which i love and then another spritz of the setting spray that’s pretty much it all right you guys so i just quickly threw back my hair and what that means for me is brushing through it sometimes and then putting it in a little bun and one of my tricks is to just take a curling iron and curl through like the face framing front pieces so that way i look put together for any zooms or any meetings i have because that’s just how life is going these days anyways hope you guys enjoyed this get ready with me if you have any questions for me let me know in the comments below i also want to say thank you again to clinique for sponsoring this video if you guys are interested in checking out the clinique smart clinical md i will be linking it below and you can find it nordstrom or
