The Beauty Secrets Dua Lipa Learned Working at A Club

Hey Vogue, it s Dua Lipa

and I m gonna walk you through

my everyday skincare routine and makeup look.

My first step is Bioderma, very important, cotton pads,

a little bit of this.

I don t know what it is about this,

but I just love kicking it off with this.

It feels like it s like pressing the refresh button

on a laptop.

And then next, I start with my Dua Skincare

balancing cream cleanser,

which I m very excited to announce.

The science behind the formula is Augustinus Bader science.

And for me, I was so excited

to work with Augustinus Bader because I m such a big fan,

but I wanted to create my own skincare line

and I felt like that the only way to do it

was to really team up with the very best.

I use about, I don t know, like that much.

It s got this like cream to foam formula.

That feels so good,

and it s got like natural probiotics in it, as well.

Pro-Heal Serum by iS Clinical. I really like it.

It s got vitamin C in it.

[mellow music]

I think I ve gone through so many different phases

of trying to find the right thing for my skin.

When I was younger, it would just be

like whatever face cream I could find

just to keep myself moisturized.

And then kind of in my teenage years,

I started having a bit of a problem with blemishes and spots

and trying to figure out what type of skin I had

and whether I was dehydrated

or whether it was just the fact that I had really dry skin

or you know, trying to figure out

whether it was something I needed to fix

from the inside out.

And then when I started touring quite heavily in 2022,

I really started struggling with my skin quite a bit

and I felt like wearing lots of makeup, sweating,

waking up the next morning, I felt like I never at any point

didn t have a spot or something,

some kind of blemish of some sort.

And so that, I think, kind of affected my confidence

a little bit and the feeling of

not wanting to really leave the house without wearing makeup

felt like quite a big deal.

And so then I felt like I was on this mission

to really find something that really helped my skin

and a way for me to take care of myself from the inside out

and start making healthier decisions, smarter choices.

That kind of led me to this like long journey

to get to where I am right now.

The next up, we ve got the Supercharged Glow complex.

I m absolutely obsessed with this.

I ll do like about two pumps of this,

just slowly work that in.

And I feel like this is amazing

cause it really kind of defends against like fine lines

and wrinkles and it s been amazing while I ve been on tour

because I was like, that s the real test.

When I get on tour and I see

how my skin s gonna react to it,

that s really gonna be the real telltale sign.

I m gonna quickly just take my vitamins so I don t forget.

I always start with the vitamin C.

These ones taste disgusting.

You just gotta like, ew, squeeze it and then just.

Oh my God. Oh my God.

And the bottle won t open up.

I mean, if something s gonna wake you up, it s that.

I do sea moss.

And not great either.

I think for me, for my mindset,

waking up every morning doing a workout of some sort,

Pilates, yoga, if I don t have time,

really don t have time then I ll take like ten minutes

for meditation or a stretch.

Especially because when I m touring, I need it

to just feel really strong and feel centered in my body.

I have this thing that I always say like,

Oh, I feel a little bit wobbly today,

and it s usually because I haven t like centered myself

and then I have to get up on stage

and use every possible strength that I ve got in me

to just like run and dance and sing

and I take on so much energy and I give so much energy.

So I think being able to balance myself every day

has proven, at least to me,

to be the best thing for me

to be able to put on the best show

and then also leave something for myself, as well.

Okay, I just need a bit more water

cause bloody hell, that was disgusting.

Next, we use the renewal cream.

Can you see how excited I m about all this? Mm.

So that s the renewal cream. Also, how cute.

Same here.

I do a couple pumps

and also this has kind of like a natural pinky color to it

and that s because of the vitamin B12

which really helps protect the skin barrier.

Oh my God, this feels so good.

There s this amazing technology

which is only in the Dua Skincare and it s called TFC5.

I love it.

It s basically a mix of like peptides,

moisturizing proteins, antioxidants,

and it s just this it amazing science

that creates an environment in your skin

for good skin renewal.

And anytime I have anything left over,

I d put it like on my neck.

My shoulders sometimes get it. SPF.

All right, so my skin s feeling ready

and I m gonna start my makeup.

I don t do too much, especially when I m on tour.

I m gonna end up having to put on more makeup for stage.

So this is something that I just start with.

I like this Precisely My Brow Pencil.

The tip s like a little wonky, but I like it that way

because I feel like it gets in better.

It was straight,

and then sometimes if I m feeling it,

I would fill in a little bit just here in the front.

This is the saving grace, this KJH.brand brow jar.

I love it because I love this brush and it freezes them,

which is great cause mine always find a way to go down.

Since I was really little, I would like go rummaging

into my mom s makeup bag.

My early memories are just watching my mom

sit in front of the mirror and do her makeup

and I always wanted to get involved

but I think taking it kind of a bit more seriously

when I started like working on the door in a club in London.

I was like trying to make myself look a bit older

so I felt like I needed to put on a bit more makeup.

I started experimenting more with like eye shadows

and eyeliners and different colors and what works for me

and what really doesn t, as well.

So I learned a lot.

I remember at one point when I was younger,

I put mascara on my eyebrows

cause I thought that was like the thing to do

so it was terrible.

And so I won t be doing that again.

I have definitely learned from those mistakes.

Cream bronzer, this is from a brand called VIEVE,

which I kind of recently discovered.

[mellow music]

It took me a really long time to kind of figure out myself,

especially for like red carpets and what I liked

and what I felt really natural in.

And I kind of discovered that foundation

and then trying to build dimension on top was the killer.

I always prefer just to start with bronzer

and just get that on all over.

Then I take this, my Glossier balm concealer,

scoop some out and put it on the back of my hand.

I ve been taught by my makeup artist, Katie Jane,

that the most important thing you ve gotta do

when putting your makeup on is prime your brush.

Always start here at the chin and I ll pat on this blemish.

[mellow music]

If I m getting ready for a night out,

I definitely have to like play some tunes,

a bit Madonna, maybe some Abba or a complete vibe switch

and I go for something like Nia Archives.

If I m like in the process of writing new songs

and I wanna listen to stuff,

then I m always listening to my new songs.

I use this Laura Mercier powder. I love it.

I ve always just found it really light and easy.

[mellow music]

The YSL Make Me Blush.

And I love it because it is so pigmented

and it s got like a little like pearl to it

and immediately,

hello, sun-kissed.

So sometimes I might just take like what s left

on my concealer brush just to kind of

melt it all in together.

And then I take my lash curler.

I love like a lot of mascara

and I love painting my bottom lashes

and my bottom lashes are actually like the same length

as my top ones.

So it s kind of gives a little bit of a spidery effect.

I used to wear lashes when I was younger

and I felt like it only made my lashes come off

and sometimes it just made my makeup look crazy.

And when I did certain red carpets

and I had fake lashes on, I actually decided

I don t really like that look on me.

And also on stage, I think I d probably panic

if I had like a little getaway lash.

Eyeshadow.

I think there s just much more powder involved

when it goes to stage makeup and more glitter

and there s always like a kind of disco element

to the makeup looks that I like to do on stage.

Also, I love going into this like crevice there.

When I get off stage, I think the first thing I do

is probably have a little vocal steam,

especially if I ve got another show the next night.

And then in terms of taking my makeup off,

I like to go back to my hotel room and do it myself.

It s like, I think it s my favorite way to wind down.

Coming down after a show, it s so different every time.

If it s a day off the next day,

then I ll go out with the dancers, everyone, my team

and maybe go and have a drink.

I think that kind of helps me wind down.

Or if I ve got another show the next day,

then it s immediately like, I ll steam.

I ll go and have a bath, Epsom salts

and just try and like slowly, slowly calm myself down

from all the adrenaline.

Maybe we ll add a little glitter. I do like this.

This is like a new discovery.

I ve been like drawing on little freckles.

There s this freckle here under my eye that I love.

And then I put a couple dots here on each side of my nose

and I press them in like that and they re so faint,

but I think it kind of does like a little

nose contouring trick like that.

They can kind of go anywhere.

[mellow music]

I found this in a CVS a really long time ago

when I was in a pinch and I became obsessed with it.

It s like a physician s formula but a bronzer.

And I think it s the smell that keeps me coming back.

It smells amazing and it is really light and nice.

[mellow music]

I m a little bit obsessed with CVS.

That s kind of like the mad shop that America has

that I feel like has everything and anything.

And so every time I come to the States,

I m like, right, first stop, CVS.

And I go and get my melatonin and some funky toothpaste

and whatever other kind of mad things I can find.

And there s always something crazy

and some weird flavored crisp.

So when I was writing my last record, Radical Optimism,

I needed a notebook and I decided

I didn t wanna type anything on my phone anymore.

And so of course, I went to CVS and I bought my notebook

and that actually ended up being like

my most prized possession.

Anyway, this isn t an ad for CVS.

I love this MAKE UP FOREVER lip liner in Anywhere Caffeine.

[mellow music]

It kind of gives you this really nice plump look

that I am really obsessed with it

and then I love something a bit creamier,

so I like to use my YSL Loveshine Shade 207.

I always go for kind of like ready browns.

Those I feel like always suit my face the most.

This is a Christian Louboutin mascara.

[mellow music]

I also love a little highlight.

This is ISAMAYA s Skin Enhancing Duo.

But also something that s really, really cute

is putting the glow complex as a highlight.

I got really obsessed for like a really long time

with this one app called Yuka,

and you can basically like scan any product

and it will tell you like its score

on how good it is for you

and why it could be harmful and stuff like that.

The Dua Skincare line scored 100 on Yuka, so, clean girl.

All right, one more quick layer of this.

[mellow music]

Have one last thing.

My YSL Libre, which, that s just my everyday go-to.

Just smells so good.

Hmm. All right, I m ready.

Thank you so much, Vogue. Mwah.

[doors slide]

All right, I m off to band rehearsal. See ya.

[doors slide and click]

Oh shit.
