It s Greta Lee here.

I m gonna walk you through my skincare routine

and how I achieve a casual glam look.

I m gonna take my Invisalign out

so I don t have the speech impediment while I do this.

It s actually too sexy for this,

so I m gonna turn around and do this part.

Okay.

So I wear this silky turban

because it is really helpful for my hair.

Okay, so let s see.

Now that I ve said that, let s see how we re doing.

Yeah!

Pretty good.

This is what I do first.

You confront the face.

I ve got some activity, friends over here.

I ve been traveling a lot.

Long flights just kill my skin.

It s dry.

Whatever, all good.

That s what we re dealing with.

So for my gentle, mild cleanser,

I m gonna use the Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser.

Here it is.

I m gonna do a little, two pumps.

It s really gentle.

It feels so nice.

And I m just putting it right on my face.

Instead of the traditional way of washing your face,

I like to use a wet cloth and wipe away.

Okay, I m gonna roll my face.

Growing up, my mom used to give me

diagrams with arrows all over it how to do this,

and I thought she was a victim

of some kind of Ponzi scheme, but no.

Joke s on me cause here we are.

Hi, thanks Mom.

You were right.

So I m gonna do this.

And I start here.

Okay, so here s my toner.

So you start down here.

All about moving up, right?

I have these two masks.

I like to mix these two together.

So here s Masque Vivant and BioMagic Mask.

Every time I put on this mask, I say Mask Alert!

so I don t scare my husband.

I will let it sit for about 20 minutes or so.

So now I m letting it sit.

Okay, so now I m gonna wipe it off.

Put it on, press it in.

Okay, now I m gonna put on some serums.

Here s some of my buddies.

I ve got some more Biologique

and then I ve got the Dior Capture Youth plump filler.

I think today I m gonna use the Dior.

This is really good at filling in some lines.

One of the gifts of motherhood is

it wreaks havoc on your skin. [laughs]

So I m nursing right now,

and I have found that when I am breastfeeding,

it s like this part goes [trills lips].

And I have to remind myself, stay calm!

It s gonna be okay.

Hydrating is really the key to all this.

Okay, so eye cream.

I use this Valmont V-Line Lifting Eye Cream.

I go like this.

I have a really good base of hydration

and I m gonna keep adding more.

Mm-hmm!

Oh my god, we re finally ready to put on some makeup.

Generally, I don t like to wear makeup when I m not working.

But if I m gonna go out somewhere,

I will do a quick kind of glam thing.

I m gonna use a really light oil-based foundation.

This is just evening up.

For concealer, I m gonna use this Laura Mercier.

Sometimes I ll use a brush,

but usually I ll just use my fingers

to be totally honest.

Yep, that bad boy.

See ya later!

This one here, bye!

There s a big freckle here that sometimes

I m like mm, you can stay.

No, you can go.

Bye!

Okay.

Good enough.

Next, I m gonna do a little bit of contour.

Okay, so I m gonna use a cream blush.

I m using my fingers, like this,

and I m just gonna do a little bit in here.

So I m gonna use this matte bronzer on my eyelids.

So I m gonna use this Chanel highlighter.

This is a translucent color,

so it s more natural looking.

Just go like this.

I m gonna just do a little bit in here,

and then a little bit in here, just a touch.

And then blend.

Okay, I m gonna curl my eyelashes.

Great!

My eyelashes have been curled,

and I m gonna use this mascara.

I like the Glossier Lash Slick

because you don t have to use that much of it.

Great!

So now I m gonna move on to my eyebrows.

This could be a whole separate short film,

just on eyebrows.

Here s a short history of my eyebrows.

After I got pregnant with my first son,

it s like a natural thing to lose some hair.

Your hair falls out.

My brows were thinning.

I totally freaked out

and I got my eyebrows microbladed.

However, I don t recommend it.

I regret it, to be frank.

It s turned a little bit orangey.

Just not great.

And I have plenty of brow.

It all grew back, so I could have chilled on that, right?

It s important as women, we have to stay calm.

It s going to be okay.

Don t do anything drastic,

like getting your eyebrows tattooed.

Sometimes I ll use the makeup

to neutralize this red.

So I m even gonna take a concealer,

and I m gonna just...

What I m going for is a blurred look.

A big, blurry eyebrow. [laughs]

See, the orangey bits have toned down.

And then from there, I m going to brush up.

And I m using Boy Brow, obviously.

I love Boy Brow because it s the perfect consistency.

It s like a mousse.

It blows in the wind. [laughs]

Okay, there we go.

If I m feeling really extra,

I will use something like this,

like the Glossier Brow Flick.

You can shake it.

There s like a little ball in here.

I m connecting this part with these boys down there.

Friendship, there we go.

One happy family!

All right, let s move on from the eyebrows.

So this, I would stop here

and be totally good, totally happy.

But tonight, I m going out

and I want a little bit more of a glam look

so I m gonna do a liquid liner.

My technique for eyeliner is I m going

to start on the outside, right here,

and I m just gonna do short little strokes

and then lift off into space.

Is that even?

Yeah!

Now, I m gonna do lips.

So I m going for a matte stain,

so I m gonna use this Glossier Generation G in Zip.

A casual red lip.

That s what I m going for.

So at this point, I feel like we re nearing the end.

For my hair, I m just gonna use this pink hair tie.

And then I like to just take these out,

because they re gonna come out anyways,

so I m gonna pretend like it s intentional.

I m happy with this sort of pseudo-glad look.

It s like me-plus.

Thanks so much for watching, you guys!
