Meghann Fahy Thinks About Jennifer Coolidge—and Contraception—Every Time She Moisturizes

Hey Vogue, I m Meghann Fahy,

and I am going to walk you through

my sort of dry skin sometimes, adult acne,

morning skincare routine.

And then I m gonna show you my everyday makeup routine.

First step is my cleanser.

It s really gentle and super non-drying.

Honestly, the last couple years,

I started getting regular facials

and kind of investing in what was I actually putting

on my skin.

And I m here to tell you

it really made a difference.

At nighttime, this is usually when I see

how much makeup I still have on my face,

but today it s clean.

This serum, which is especially hydrating,

and I do think you re supposed to put it in your palm

and then put it on your face.

But I like to go straight in for the real thing

and just put it right directly on my face.

I put it on my neck too

because one of the Real Housewives said once,

Do not neglect the neck.

And I can t stop thinking about that.

My Pro-Heal Serum, it s vitamin C.

And again, straight on the face with it.

I watched Julianne Moore do this

and she just seemed so cool.

I mean she s so cool.

But she like put a couple drops in her hand

and like pressed it into her skin,

which I do think is the correct way to do this.

But you know what? It s your skincare routine. You do you.

Okay, eye cream. This stuff.

I was overusing this,

and what was happening was I was putting it on

and then I was putting my concealer on

and it was doing that thing

where it like gets all gross on your face

and I was having to wipe it off

and then I realized that I was just using too much of it so.

And then last step is my moisturizer,

with SPF 30 in it, Paula s Choice.

Jennifer Coolidge told me

when we were shooting White Lotus

that it sounded like a pregnancy foam, Paula s Choice.

And I think about that when I put it on.

But what I love about it is A, it has sunscreen in it,

and B, once it s rubbed in

and it doesn t look like I have zinc all over me,

it really gives the skin a nice glow.

I think when I was younger I never wanted

to wear sunscreen cause I wanted to be tan.

But then I learned that I can t tan,

I just get freckles and sunburns.

So now I ve really embraced the SPF.

It feels like everybody knows now

that that s sort of the number one anti-aging thing

that we can all do.

And because this like makes my skin kind of like glowy,

if I m not wearing makeup or something

and I put this on,

I still kind of feel like I ve done something.

Last step in my skincare

is just I put a little bit of this on.

I know it says sleeping mask,

but I wear it a lot when I m awake.

Foundation. I like to shake it a little.

I like to just put it right, right on my face.

Direct contact.

I probably should use one of those cool girl sponges,

but I, I don t.

And this is Vogue and I have to tell the truth to Vogue.

I do have a cool girl sponge.

I just only use it for concealer for some reason.

And this one comes in this little egg,

which is cute cause I feel like it keeps the sponge clean.

This is my concealer.

Little bags and then I do like,

I have a little something there

so I just kind of hit it like that.

A little something there.

I love trying new stuff.

I think I love it a little too much.

I will walk into a Sephora to buy one thing

and I ll come out with like two bags full of stuff.

I also kind of just drag this across my eyelid a little bit

cause I m so fair skinned

that sometimes my eyes look really red on my eyelids.

When I was little, another thing that I didn t like,

apart from sunscreen, was having freckles at all.

And now I ve sort of embraced them.

So I try to pick makeup

that doesn t make them feel like

they ve been erased in any way.

Little bronzer moment.

I just kind of like swish it

and then I do that on the mirror.

I don t know why.

I do try to pick up certain things

when I m, you know, on set.

I, obviously, get my makeup done so often.

And one thing that I still have not been able

to do is my eye makeup.

I have no less than 75 eyeshadow palettes

and all of them remain unused, which is really sad.

First, we re gonna do blush.

so I kind of like swipe it with this.

It s giving clown cheek,

which this might be leaning towards a little bit.

Take this bad boy back out of his little egg house.

I m a huge lash person.

I feel like I don t look like I have any

until I m wearing mascara.

And I love this one, this Victoria Beckham one,

because it kind of, like at night when you wash it off,

it doesn t get all of your face.

It just sort of comes off.

Okay, this is the part where I try to do this

and keep my mouth closed

because the reality of the situation is that,

when I m at home and I m doing this,

I look a lot like this.

But again, it s Vogue so I m gonna try to keep my mouth.

It s a lot harder for me than it looks like,

especially the bottom lashes.

It has to be this.

So this is my eyebrow pencil.

I ve been super duper blonde.

I ve been like hybrid, which is kind of what I am right now.

And it s hard to find a shade that isn t too dark for me

or too light cause I don t really have blonde eyelashes,

but I just have very light brown one.

For Drop,

I was in a really cool hair and makeup look

because the whole thing takes place on a date.

So she s sort of a little bit extra glammed.

I kind of had like a red lip going,

which isn t something I normally do in my actual life

because I don t have the patience to maintain a lipstick.

But when someone else is doing it for you,

it s way more fun.

So that was really awesome.

Okay, brow gel. Here we go.

I m a huge Q-tip fan. I always travel with them.

I always have them in my purse.

I always have them in my makeup bag.

Because I just feel like they re like, what can t they do?

Do one of these little guys.

And if I have some mascara on the top of my lid,

which I usually make enough of a mess to do.

Highlighter. I m kind of obsessed with this.

I will put this on sometimes even if I don t have makeup on.

And I just do this, make kind of like an L-shape almost.

Another thing I haven t really figured out how to do

is like the little nose thing.

Like when you put it here.

See that looks crazy when I do it,

but I love it when other people do it.

I honestly think the trend I wish I could do

is like the nose shading

with the sort of like cutie little like frosted nose.

I was really into Avril Lavigne when I was a kid

and she didn t have freckles.

So I thought one day if I put enough foundation on,

my mom s foundation, that it would cover up the freckles.

And I ve put like four or five layers on

and then my face was just like the color of those flowers

and I was devastated to learn

that that s not what foundation really does.

This Armani Beauty sort of like lipstick-lip gloss hybrid.

I ve had this for years. They don t make it anymore.

And so I rarely use it because I love it so much.

I like the way it smells.

I ve used this on The Bold Type all the time.

I think I actually just took it home when we wrapped.

If I smell it, still kind of reminds me

of that time in my life, which was a very good one.

So it s just my sentimental little lipstick.

But because I saved that one,

I use this one, which they do make.

I like that it feels like lipstick,

but it kind of goes on like gloss.

It s one of these little smudge moments.

Normally my hair is like up on top of my head,

but I do have a blowout today,

so I wanted to protect her and I will take out these clips.

Wow, I didn t do this to my own hair,

but I m going somewhere this weekend.

So I just felt like, you know what?

Getting a blowout on a Friday

and having hair for the whole weekend, what a luxury.

That s the end of me

and we ll see how long my lipstick lasts.

I had a blast. Thanks Vogue.
