Hi, I'm Gracie Abrams, and I'm going to walk you through my everyday skincare routine and my kind of go-to daytime glam situation.
I am a very puffy, puffy girl on the face when I wake up, no matter what, so I use ice every morning like this, and it's not necessarily, it's not a graceful one, but it helps me.
My mom would suggest putting ice behind my ears and on my wrists when I was little, because I would get anxious and nauseous.
I'm going to wash my face now, clear cell cleanser.
My skincare journey has been a very interesting one.
I had no problems with acne at all growing up, which was really lucky, but then the summer before I went to college, something changed, and my body got really angry, and I started breaking out horrible cystic acne.
It was so bad that it would hurt to sleep on.
The next thing that I do kind of once every couple weeks, I'm going to take this down, this face mask.
It's a hydrating one.
I got a facial like a week ago before I went upstate to work on the album, and I am a sensitive person inside and outside, and my skin started to peel.
This mask is really hydrating.
I use this face roller tool.
I'm going to just go over.
This just feels so nice.
When I went to college, my anxiety skyrocketed in a way that was so in my face that I couldn't really ignore anymore, and that's kind of when I got into this more.
This is something that I can do that feels like a tangible way to be taking care of myself.
It's kind of like giving your brain a little moment of rest, and sometimes small distractions like this are really nice.
This Pure Hydration Serum, these products are super dewy, really hydrating.
This feels really nice.
Skin is unpredictable.
I'm like breaking out kind of right now.
Acne doesn't bother me as much now as it used to.
I'm really okay with it.
I think it's cool the way that a lot of people on social media recently, I feel like, have been just showing it and making it all right.
The next thing I'm using right now is this thing called Age Intervention Peptide Extreme.
This is the moisturizer I'm using these days.
Most of the skincare products that I'm using right now, a lot of them are kind of really meant for adult acne, which makes me feel like I'm doing something to prevent.
The Tom Ford Illuminating Primer.
I use this as a primer before makeup, but also on a day-to-day when I could not be bothered to, I don't know, spend more than five minutes in the mirror in the morning.
I like to use this alone.
It's less than a highlighter, but more than nothing.
This I found recently.
This is the sunscreen and skin tint that I've been using.
It was all over TikTok.
I honestly have been spending so much less time on social media recently, which has been so good for my brain.
I am grateful that I was on it the day that I found this because this has changed my life.
My skin has changed a lot over the years, but hardcore because of touring.
It's just, you can't control it.
Pillowcases in hotels sometimes, that's a thing that I never thought about being potentially problematic before.
What's so great about having a skincare routine or just spending time with yourself in this way is that it kind of does feel like wherever you are, it's almost like a little bit of a home away from home moment.
Sitting backstage or on the bus and taking the 30 minutes of drinking extra water and applying brow gel makes me feel deeply at peace.
I was more afraid of performing live than anything else.
My biggest fears in the world were tsunamis and singing in front of people.
Before COVID, I was in rehearsals to do a tour.
When everyone went into lockdown, we were all quarantining, I started playing this set that I would have gone out and done, but at home.
The music director who I work with, who helps put on the shows, had this idea to do shows through Zoom.
It was this baby step of an introduction to touring.
By the end of those shows, I was excited and I felt more ready.
Thank you for attending and making me feel less insane.
This is my favorite lip product in the world.
It's the Laneige Sleeping Mask.
This year, we were touring for six months straight, basically.
The middle of those three legs of tour was with Olivia Rodrigo.
She and I have been friends for a minute.
To know that I was going to have a friend on the road made it feel like summer camp.
This, I was introduced to in a real way by my best friend, Ariana.
She was my college roommate.
I rub it between my hands until it's super warm and oily.
Then, I just put it all over.
It makes you look like you've been drinking a lot of water.
I need to do more of that, so this is a fun little cheat.
Another thing about this product that's so good for any of you tattoo people, this is what I use for tattoo healing.
Skin is done.
Time to help me a little more.
Makeup time.
The sunscreen that I used earlier is tinted and just helps.
I love the base.
Sometimes, I do nothing else.
Today, I'm doing more.
Check it.
This is the Westman Atelier Foundation Stick.
I put this directly on my face, mostly on the spots where there's noticeable discoloration.
Some of my favorite artists have had complete bare faces, I feel like, most of the time, like Fiona Apple and Joni Mitchell.
I have gravitated, I think, mostly just because growing up, I played really competitive soccer and was sweating all the time, so it was a very different kind of a vibe for me.
I think that maybe that contributed to my lack of intensity in terms of the makeup that I use.
That being said, I've loved Lady Gaga for so long.
The way that she uses makeup and has over the course of her career on carpets and shows, and that, to me, I'm like, holy shit.
Anytime she does anything, I kind of drop dead a little bit.
This is the lighter shade, and I like to use it under my eyes a little bit.
Again, this is more of a brightening situation.
I like this sometimes more than some of the other concealer products that I've tried just because it's so creamy.
This is the Nars Creamy Concealer.
I like this for acne.
Also, I don't remember where I learned this trick.
If you spot, treat, and then let it sit for a couple seconds, it dries up a bit in a good way and the coverage is a little bit more reliable.
This is also West Midwest LA and it's the bronzer contour.
I love blush so very much.
This, Tower 28, is an all-time favorite.
And then Glossier Cloud Paint, another classic.
I'm going to use a tiny bit of the Cloud Paint.
See, this happens where some of the acne that I've had really is gone and then wants to stick around.
This is my favorite highlighter in the history of the world.
It's Chanel.
It's really great.
It's like a balm.
I like to put it a little bit on the inner corners of my eye.
This is a CoverGirl eye pencil.
I like to use an eyelash curler.
This is Surratt.
Curling the lashes and then this.
And I kind of pull it out a little and then just use my finger.
Okay, I'm going to do lip stuff now, but I'm using just a washcloth.
These are the pencils that I use to get a color that makes me happy.
This is the Pillow Talk in Medium.
And then this is the Makeup Forever.
It's like a chocolate color.
I don't like it just like this.
I would not leave it just like this.
It's too pink for me.
This Glossier lip in the shade Trench, which is the one that I'm super into right now.
This is this lip balm situation and it's really good.
And it's on the mauve-y side.
I have had a brow journey.
When I was in middle school, I plucked like...
My brows basically started like here.
I can't believe they grew back.
I don't know.
Like someone was watching over me.
It's somewhat like they really grew back.
Brow gel is my most favorite makeup product.
I use the Anastasia Brow Freeze.
I recently read Jennifer Lawrence's Vogue cover story.
And she was like, I can't talk with people that aren't political anymore.
And I stand behind that really heavily because it's just the world is on fire.
There is, I think, an obligation to be starting conversations about everything that's going on.
Everyone all over the place.
Please go to abortionfunds.org.
Just please go.
And you can figure out how to get involved in your own local funds.
My mom, growing up, she's not a big makeup person at all.
But she had this compact, this Laura Mercier concealer.
And I think maybe a lot of the minimalism in this world is because I love my mom so much.
And I just now want to be like her.
And she does very little.
So I'm like, same.
But I'm lucky to be really close with my parents.
And my dad was writing wild stories all the time then and had a crazy imagination.
I think it gave me permission to also know that adults can be storytellers too.
This I love because it makes it look more intentionally messy.
This is called Freck.
I have a lot of freckles on my face.
I also am very pale.
And the pale products that I use covers my freckles.
So I like to use this to bring back some of the darker ones.
I love this one.
And you're getting a real up-close shot of the gap in my teeth.
Which, growing up, I wanted to close.
Because people would always ask me if I was gonna.
One day, I was at the mall with my dad.
Because we were getting a suitcase.
The woman who owned the store, she was like to me.
I was really young.
And I walk over to her.
And she goes, never close your gap.
It's good luck.
And I was like, holy shit.
This is my favorite fragrance of all time.
Someone once told me that if you spray it in your hair a little.
Then all day long, you'll smell good.
I carry with me in my bag all the time.
It's Santal 33.
It smells like the way that.
I feel like my childhood bedroom smelled like this.
This is it.
We're done here.
Thank you for hanging out with me.
I hope that you're happy, healthy, safe, hydrated.
Loving your friends and family.
And good to yourself.
I will see you soon.
Okay?
I love you.
Bye.
Mwah.
