It s Nessa Barrett, and I m going to

walk you through my in-depth skincare routine

and every-day makeup tutorial.

My first step is cleansing oil.

I use this one.

I ve been obsessed with Korean skincare recently.

I use these biodegradable individual face towels.

I use this little bar of soap.

It s a sulfur soap, anti-acne.

Recently, I had a pretty bad breakout,

first time in my life, and it got me to

really start taking good care of my skin.

I ve done a lot of research, and double cleansing

seems like the best thing.

This is the Dr. Dennis Gross extra-strength daily peel.

It s two steps.

The first one is exfoliating.

I ve been using them for three years.

I have a bad problem that once my skin looks

flawless and is good, I kind of just give up on skincare.

I get lazy.

When I start breaking out and struggling again,

I go back to these and they save my life.

Now it s time for the second one.

You re supposed to wait two minutes.

This one s the anti-aging neutralizer.

Toner.

Use two.

First one that I use is this Paula s Choice

exfoliate skin-perfecting toner.

Relief toner.

This again is one of my Kbeauty products.

Rose water spray.

I use this to rehydrate my face because

the next step you need a moist face for snail mucin.

I feel like it has helped my skin so much.

Dr. Dennis Gross texture renewal serum.

This one specifically is for acne-prone skin.

[indistinct] eye cream.

Sunscreen.

Since I ve gotten into self care,

I feel like the biggest change and the most

helpful thing that I ve done has been no social media.

Being a young girl,

social media is kind of like a big thing

and I grew up on it,

and so it was hard for me to admit that

it was something that I needed to let go of,

but once I did, my life changed.

Last step of skincare is Aquaphor.

Sometimes when I don t have hair spray for the-

see flyaways on my hair like that,

this is a little hack that I learned

in like middle school cause I used to put chapstick on.

Just put Aquaphor on it and it goes away, you know?

We re on my self care journey.

So I m gonna show you the supplements that I take.

My first step is the brows.

I use this Anastasia Beverly Hills clear brow gel.

I love the 90s brows and sometimes,

I will pluck way too much.

My stage makeup for tour has changed so much.

Recently, it s kind of gone from casual

and comfortable outfits and bold makeup to bold outfits

and natural makeup.

Every time I m on stage and I wear my tour outfits,

I feel like I step into this alter ego

I call Baby Cowboy.

[Nessa laughs]

I go in with this random freckle pen.

Sometimes I ll bring out my moles on my face

a little bit and then do you see this pimple right there?

I mean, sometimes I put concealer on it and then

literally you can make it into a freckle.

Contour powder kit by Anastasia.

Just do a teeny dab in all of the ones down here.

Dab it there, make a straight line.

And it like lifts it a little bit.

My favorite blush.

I first go in with the bene tint.

Especially being blonde now,

I love that sun-kissed look.

Dior blush looks so cute.

This next step that I do I feel like

makes my natural makeup almost look more glam,

and it s all about the lips.

I use two lip liners.

I go in with the intense.

Go directly on the line.

My lips were so thin growing up when I would smile,

I d have no lips.

The second I turned 17, I got lip filler.

Then, over time, I became insecure

about my lip filler.

Now I feel very pleased with them.

Lighter pillow talk.

And I kind of just fill in my whole lip

and kind of blend in the darker one.

I am very inspired by 90s makeup

and 90s fashion and just the 90s in general.

When I m getting ready before a show,

I listen to music but at home doing my makeup,

I kind of just like peace and quiet.

I feel like it s just me time.

For a show, I kind of listen to a lot of things.

It ranges from like the craziest genres ever.

You go to calm, chill, girly vibes

and then full-on energy, heart-pumping music.

Sometimes even my own.

[Nessa giggles]

The last step is perfume.

I use a hair perfume first.

Baccarat Rouge.

This one is my baby.

It is my scent.

It has been for years.

I have many stories where people have been

looking for me and they just follow my scent.

You just wanna drown in it.

This was so much fun.

I hope you like my new wellness routine,

and try it for yourself.

Love you, bye.
