- Hi, I'm Lily Collins.
And I'm going to walk you through my skincare routine.
And I'm going to take you through
a clean day to night look
with a little nod to Parisian glamor.
My first step,
I always make sure to spray
my Beekeeper's Propolis Throat Spray.
I like three sprays because two is just never enough for me.
I love it so much because it has propolis in it,
which is an amazing immune system booster.
And it has a lot of antioxidants
and it's so good for a scratchy throat,
which sometimes I wake up with.
Next, because I'm obsessed with essential oils,
I always use my Saje Peppermint Halo,
which is a little touch of magic.
You go all the way around to here, to here.
It really wakes you up
and it really helps alleviate headaches
if you ever have any.
It's a good way to start the day.
Time to wash the face now.
Just put a little bit in my hand.
I started to use this face scrub a little while ago,
which was amazing 'cause it starts to really get in there.
I started taking care of my skin
when I was really, really young.
I always remember my mom having so many beauty steps
before bed and she always smelled so good after all of them.
And her skin always looks so clean and clear.
And I know that within, you know, within my job,
I have so much makeup on every day after filming
and it would be so much easier
to just go to bed with everything on,
but it's so bad for your skin.
So I think I just became really vigilant
with cleaning my skin every night.
Now I'm just gonna wash it off.
Okay, now that my skin is all dry,
I'm going to apply the next step, which is toner.
I've always used this toner with witch hazel,
because it's just such a classic.
A little bit on a cotton pad.
You just wipe it all over.
So next I use advanced version of Genifique serum.
It has hyaluronic acid for the hydration
and vitamin C to fill in the fine lines, which is so great.
And it gives my skin such a healthy glow,
which, who doesn't want a healthy glow, right?
So all you do is tap the top to get some of it in here.
And then you just do a couple little drops.
And then you apply softly to your skin
and it smells so yummy, which is so good.
And it feels so soft going on.
Oh, my gosh, I can already feel my skin becoming hydrated.
Thank goodness.
And what I love to do also, is I love to use a jade roller.
Sometimes I put it in the fridge or the freezer
to make it extra cold.
But I love doing this because I feel like
it really helps lock in that moisture for the healthy glow.
I just love to do it.
You have to, by the way, roll it outwards.
You never want to go back and forth.
You want to do it towards the lymph nodes,
and you just do it until you feel like your skin is
extra set and firm.
So, like I said, because my skin sometimes
is a little not as hydrated
as I'd love for it to be,
I always love to use this spray, a Rose Hibiscus spray,
which has actually a little bit of coconut water in it.
Spray a little bit,
ah, sometimes it smells like I'm on a vacation,
which we could all do with a little bit right now.
We have to go feature our lips now.
So this ultra sexy scrub made by Handmade Heroes
smells again, so good.
It's coconut sorbet
that I rub it in and exfoliate
all over.
'Cause when you later apply your lipstick,
you definitely want it to go on evenly.
I love to add a little bit of lip balm
just before we start the makeup process
to make sure my lip stay extra hydrated.
The next step before I put on the makeup is sunscreen.
And I love to use Aquagel UV Expert.
And it's actually a primer before your makeup,
as well as a sun protector, which is so great
because sometimes sunscreen
can be a little bit goopy with makeup,
but this is so perfect, it goes on so smooth.
And I was shooting a movie actually in Montreal
called "Mirror Mirror" where I play Snow White.
And obviously with Snow White's skin
supposedly having to be as white as snow,
I couldn't get sunburned, which makes total sense.
So the makeup artist always encouraged me to wear
so much sunscreen to protect myself.
And now after that,
I swear by it and wear it every single day.
So onto the first step of my makeup routine,
which is Teint Idole foundation,
which is so perfect for a lightweight feel.
It's super versatile,
which is my perfect partner
for the je ne sais quoi kind of no makeup makeup look.
But it's 24 hour long lasting coverage as well.
So what I like to do is take this
partnered with the Genifique serum
because this makes it actually more of a medium coverage.
And it adds back that healthy, radiant glow
that I was talking about.
So it's just kind of the ideal combo.
Take this, and I put about a quarter size,
like this.
Then I take the Genifique serum again,
do a little pop on the top.
Add just a couple, whoop, of drops of that,
mix them all together.
And then I'm just gonna put a couple of little dots.
Now,
you just take the sponge.
It really does feel super, super lightweight,
but I know that it's gonna give me
that perfect coverage too.
And it lasts so long, that's what's perfect.
Something that I love
about the je ne sais quoi French girl vibe
of the like no makeup makeup
is I've always, always loved fresh, clear skin.
And I've always been someone
that's kind of about like less is more.
I've always said the less you have on your face,
the less there is to go wrong throughout day.
Let's just check to make sure that I'm really blended.
Okay.
So now I'm gonna move on to Absolue Powder.
Make sure that I am totally even everywhere.
On to blush.
We're gonna use Blush Subtil.
I'm just gonna play it right here.
One thing that I'll never forget throughout the years
is when I was younger,
I hadn't really fully embraced
how naturally pale my skin was.
And so therefore, I wanted that kind of LA tanned glow,
and I fully used
tanner on my face a little too much.
I had too much
bronzer and I never really put it on correctly.
So I had a bit of a mishap.
And I think that now that's taught me a lot about contour
and how to embrace and enhance
the radiance of my skin being lighter,
but also allowing the angles of my face
to kind of stand out as well.
So for me, contour is kind of my best friend
as opposed to too much bronzer
because I learned the hard way
in a lot of prom photos from back in the day.
We don't want a repeat of that anymore.
[chuckles]
Okay, so now we're moving on
to one of my favorite parts of my beauty routine.
It's all about the brows.
So first I'm gonna use Le Monochromatique highlighter,
and I'm gonna use it in a very different way, I think,
for me to highlight the brows.
What I like to do is take a brush,
and very, very lightly,
swipe it across my eyelid.
Ooh, you can already see some of the sparkles.
And I like to make sure
that I'm putting it just under the brow right there
to enhance and highlight the shape of the brow.
'Cause for me, shape is key.
And you know, interestingly enough,
it's not always something that I embraced.
Made the mistake a couple of times,
one very specific time of overly plucking them.
And I remember going to dinner that night with my mom,
being very proud actually what I had done.
And she stared at me and she was just like,
"What have you done? They may never grow back."
And so from that day forward,
I've been way more vigilant on not over-plucking.
And I've learned to embrace them.
And for me, they're one of my favorite qualities
about beauty and skincare,
because they say so much about your personality
and they really help accentuate any of your emotions
because your brows, as you can see, as I'm probably talking,
they're like lifting up in excitement.
I think they're just something that's so fun
to embrace and enhance about your face.
So that being said,
the next thing that I love to do is brush them out.
So I just like to go up
and bring it over.
Now we get to go onto my eyes and I use Grandiose Liner.
It's a great liquid liner, which we love,
especially for this little French girl flick
that we're gonna go for.
I go in real close to the mirror
and I usually like pull back my eye a little bit like this.
Whoop.
Flick it out like that.
And now the key is matching it to the other side,
which is not always the easiest.
So, let's try to see if I get it on the first go around.
All right, then you lean back in.
Hold it out.
[gasps] I think it's pretty even.
Yeah.
It looks pretty good.
Obviously, I'm gonna add mascara next.
So it's gonna just all go out and match.
But I think that right now,
all I have there is the little flicks
and we're ready for some mascara.
I'm going to accentuate it by using Monsieur Big mascara.
I have to say mascara
has always been one of my favorite beauty items.
It's probably, this along with Juicy Tubes
were actually one of my first purchases
as a kid wearing makeup.
I remember going to the beauty counter
and picking out mascara
and just feeling like my eyes just popped so much.
And even if I was a little bit sleepy,
mascara always does the job
of bringing your eyes out and open.
So I love, love, love, adding, adding some mascara.
Doing it like this.
I'm also gonna take that brow brush I think that I used
and lightly sweep through these
to make sure that they feel extra separated.
Oh, I love, love, love
how this mascara adds so much volume to my lashes.
They just come alive.
Okay, so now that we've done all of this,
we're gonna move on to the lips.
So first I'm gonna use L'Absolu Rouge lipstick.
Today, because obviously we're going
for a more no makeup makeup look
and we're accentuating more of the eye,
I decided to go with the nude.
And thank goodness we did our lip scrub earlier.
Okay, so either you could keep it as is,
which I'm obsessed with,
or you can add a little bit of color with Juicy Tube on top.
I'm just gonna do a little gloss on top.
Juicy Tubes are super reminiscent of my childhood
because I remember going to the beauty counter
and seeing all the colors lined up and being in awe.
It was almost like a kid at the candy store
and I wanted to get all the colors.
And I remember this was kind of that way of wearing makeup,
but also having it be a little off, like off the radar
and getting away with actually wearing it in school,
which was really, really fun.
And they're super easy.
They're super colorful, which I love.
And they go on really, really smooth.
They add a little bit of radiance.
And they smell amazing.
I like to just put it in the middle.
Right.
So now that we have the face done,
we're gonna move on to hair.
You don't always have to shower
and have your hair look perfect
to have that kind of je ne sais quoi thing.
So, I'm gonna take out my hair, bear with me.
Whoo!
All right, I'm gonna add a little bit of dry shampoo.
I love the Detox Clear by Drybar.
Just lightly spray.
[spray whooshing]
So I feel like that's good for the hair.
We're on our final steps here, guys.
The next one is like such a real thing
that we all do on a daily basis.
And since I'm ready to almost get out of these
and put my clothes on, you got to put some deodorant on.
I like to use Corpus deodorant.
It's all natural ingredients, which is amazing.
And it's in like this beautiful packaging.
Let's go here, go here.
Then we move on to hand cream, rubbing all that in.
Okay, so now we're onto the last step before I change,
which is perfume, which I love.
La Vie Est Belle, which means life is beautiful in French.
It just makes me miss Paris.
I was there for a couple months last year,
filming "Emily in Paris,"
and this just brings me right back.
So I love spraying it.
It has vanilla and iris, and it just makes me feel so happy.
All right, so when I spray it,
I just do a light little spray on my neck.
I always spray my wrist, just do a little tap.
And then sometimes I spray the air.
Just let it fall all over me.
Maybe imagine that I'm back in Paris,
take a little travel trip in my head.
So this perfume honestly lasts all day and it's just,
it has such a beautiful feel
and it makes me feel like I'm in Paris all day
and who doesn't want that?
Okay, guys, well, this is the final look.
[lips smack]
Au revoir.
