Hi everyone, I am Georgiana, founder of speakenglishpodcast.com.

Okay, let's start.

Let's see what beauty products we need for a basic look.

Most women want to be ready in five minutes,

and depending on the time that I have, or the occasion,

I spend between five and 30 minutes doing my makeup.

If you're a makeup lover, you know that there are countless makeup products.

So remember, in this episode, I will focus on the basics. Okay, so what's the first step?

Before I start, I'd like to mention some essential points like, how do we apply makeup?

And what makeup tools do we need for that?

There are so many options, but don't worry, I promise to keep it simple.
