Leighton Meester Reveals the Most “Questionable” Product in Her Skincare Regime—and the One She Shares With Adam Brody

Hey Vogue, it s Leighton Meester,

and I m here to walk you through my skincare routine

and an easy little makeup look.

My first step is I wash my face.

I use this,

and I use it on this really cool questionable device.

I ve been asked a lot of questions

by anyone who notices this,

and you can use it to wash your face.

Let s just keep it at that.

It vibrates, which is really fun.

[light upbeat music]

I ve been using it for quite some time.

I find it to be really effective in cleaning my face,

and it feels good.

I usually use this, OCuSOFT Lid Scrub,

because I have dry eyes.

Yes, I do.

It really just, it seems counterintuitive,

but I just clean my eyes,

and I guess it helps me not to have dry eyes.

The next thing that I use is Real Ferment Micro Essence.

I just feel like it kind of like re-wets my skin.

This is something

that my sister-in-law told me about.

I saw this like in her van

when we were on like a surf trip,

and I was like, What the hell is that?

It s snail mucin.

Adam gets into the mucin.

We share, we re like a mucin family.

I feel very moisturized right now.

And then can you believe

I have another serum that I put on?

Moisture Boost Plumping Serum.

I did get on the SPF train pretty early,

which I m glad about.

I use these two things usually together.

One is tinted and one isn t.

I mix it together, and it s kind of lighter.

[light upbeat music]

If we re being honest,

that s like mostly what I just do most days.

But I m just gonna bump it up a little bit

cause this is fun.

There s no reason why I m doing this part.

It s fun, and they re sort of like getting prepped.

[light upbeat music]

It is Kosas.

When I was like late teens, early 20s,

I got really like into

my little sitting on the floor in front of the mirror

kind of makeup routine.

I basically would do like five auditions in a day,

and so there was just like a moment of meditation.

I had like hot rollers

and like a full like face of makeup,

which over, you know, the last 20 years

I ve really just been like,

I actually like how my skin looks without foundation on.

I m gonna do a little eye makeup.

I ll just use what s ostensibly the lightest color in here.

And I do that.

You just slap it on there,

and I kind of rub in this little zone.

[light upbeat music]

The glam stuff is like a really fun element

when you get ready to go to an event.

It s like this really glamorous

aspect to the business that I enjoy.

Speaking of glam,

this one right here, this dark guy.

I just kind of go a little bit closer,

blend it a little bit, just a little bit.

Wow.

Take a look at this cool eyeliner.

It all squished out.

Not to fear, you use a little brush like this.

[light upbeat music]

It s definitely like me time

getting your little skincare

and even just, whatever, minimal makeup in.

I just think this is so pretty,

and I kind of just wanna like try it.

I m gonna make my eyes a little bit shinier.

I like this kind of thing.

This is, I think, for bronzing...

Contouring.

[light upbeat music]

And I kind of put it here cause I see people do that.

[Leighton laughs]

Well, I should probably do this part.

[light upbeat music]

I like to try to just be nice to myself.

It s so basic, but it s very helpful for me

not to say negative words about myself.

It would be like in meetings or on set,

I d be like, This is a dumb idea, but whatever.

Or, I m sorry to ramble on, I m sorry to rant.

It s more helpful generally for me

to just say nice words to myself about myself.

I just sort of instinctively

start absorbing that and believing it.

Okay, mascara.

[light upbeat music]

My kids, they get what we do.

They come on location a lot.

I don t think that they re phased at all

because they get a lot of us off set

and a lot of us like not working,

which has been always like a really big benefit

for both of us.

Now, actually, I m gonna use this like shiny thing.

I have seen this little thing happen before,

and I don t mind.

I m gonna do it.

Okay, I m gonna do this,

which is like for your lips and cheeks.

This thing is real left field.

You won t believe that I m using this, an essential balm.

And it looks like this,

and I feel like it kind of looks cool up here.

It just looks a little bit like, you know, dewy and wet.

And then I guess this would be the right time

to do this part.

I have more blush, and it s this crazy,

I mean, it s so bright,

but it s kind of subtle.

I know that I try really hard to be all shiny,

but now I m doing this matte powder thing.

Lip liners, to me,

they re just too concrete so much of the time

where I m like, I m locked in,

and this is what I m gonna have to do and stick with.

But if I think if you just kind of like

just do it a little bit and then kind of like smudge it.

Groundbreaking, I know.

[light upbeat music]

So I ll do this, this little guy.

This is new to me.

I ve had makeup artists do this.

This smells really good.

This was so very fun.

Thank you for watching.

Bye! [Leighton blows kiss]
