I for sure think getting ready motivates me and helps me feel good and ready for the day.
I think it's just really fun and I have so much fun doing makeup.
Hi guys, I'm Lennon Stella and I am here with Refinery29.
I hope everybody is staying home and staying safe, especially in this time when we're all
quarantined.
It genuinely helps me when I get kind of ready every day, partially, and just like attempt
at making myself feel good and not like, "I'm stuck in my house and won't see the light
of day."
So it kind of helps.
It helps my situation a little bit when I try to, you know, take care of my skin, and
put makeup on, and do my hair, and put a cute outfit on.
It kind of helps me a little bit.
For skincare, first, I'm just going to show you what I do every morning before I put my
makeup on, and then I'm gonna show you what I do with my makeup.
This is my favorite facial cleanser.
After that, I use these Neutrogena face wipes all over my face because sometimes I
don't get all my makeup off the night before.
And even with that cleanser, sometimes makeup still comes off on this.
So get all over with this.
And I feel like there's just this nice hydration that comes from these wipes.
They just like, really make your skin moisturized and alive.
Social distancing.
I have not left my house for like a month and a half now.
The second it all kind of hit the fan, I was like, "Woo.
I am home."
I am so scared.
I'm such a hypochondriac.
I was like, "I am not leaving the house."
But it's been fine.
It's just like promo time on the album, and getting everything ready to be released.
So, have not left my house.
Haven't seen a soul.
Okay, after that I use these Sanitas.
And if I could say anything from this whole video for you to go take away from this and
go buy, it will be these Sanitas wipes.
It is the brightening peel pads at home peeling treatment.
A makeup artist I was working with, he literally brought me these one day and was like, "You're
gonna die."
Because my skin, I kept getting these like, just lots of little rashes and lots of little
teeny little bumps on the sides of my cheeks.
And this completely took them away.
And not only did it take them away, it made my skin, just a whole different face.
Whole different face of skin.
It's completely transformed my skin and made it so tight, and so nice that everybody needs
to get these wipes.
I talk about them all the time.
This after, to use this Skin Pharm youth serum.
I use about like that much.
I am just so excited for this album to be out in the world.
It's a weird time to be putting an album out for sure, but I also think, you know, it's
kind of— it's nice to be stripped down and everything's back to its roots and being home.
After I do that is Kiehl's moisturiser.
It's amazing.
I really love Kiehl's.
I think they're just perfectly gentle and I use about that much, and I just rub it all
over.
It feels so good, and especially right before you're about to put makeup on.
This makes my skin feel just really hydrated and alive.
I take my Kiehl's eye cream.
I use about that much.
You're supposed to pat.
I always rub but you're definitely supposed to pat.
There's definitely days when I don't leave in my pajamas, no question, for multiple days
in a row.
But I also think it's when you stay home for this long, and it's now been like a month
and a half, to keep things like feeling fresh and feeling good.
It's kind of like tacky.
You're gonna see it's a pretty thick, but it feels really nice when you let it sink
in for like five minutes.
I really enjoy getting creative and exploring some stylistic things for sure.
Take this rosewater, which I really like this brand.
It feels really nice and it smells really good.
Love it, love it.
For my eyebrows, I use this Anastasia Beverly Hills tinted brow gel because I like my eyebrows
to look a little bit lighter with my blonde hair.
When I first put this on, just know that it's going to make them look like they go away.
But I use a different product over top to make it look a little less blonde.
And then I take this Anastasia Beverly Hills brow wiz,
which is just medium brown.
Then I take the other side and I just go in with this tip and I just take the front.
Just gonna go over it and define it a teeny bit more 'cause it gets a little lost with
that.
That's pretty much it for my eyebrows.
For lashes, I've been using this, which I love a lot.
This is what it looks like.
It's a Mac mascara.
Mostly just get in there on my top lashes and then barely touch my bottom.
Okay, once I'm done with that, I go in with my eyelid primer.
Just use my finger.
Um, oh I didn't even tell you what this was.
This was Mac.
It's called Painterly.
I take it all the way up to my eyebrow.
I just think it makes such a difference.
It like lifts your eye.
I'm going to go in, just some bronzer to kind of bronze up my face a little bit.
I really love this Marc Jacobs one.
I also love this Sigma Sculpt one, which is also like a highlighting
and bronzer palette.
I just take a fluffy brush.
And I kind of just go over the whole thing.
Focus here.
But I take it really all on the outer corners of my face.
I have learned that I am even more of a homebody than I thought I was.
I love being home, and the consistency of waking up in the same place, doing the
same kind of thing in the same four walls is really nice for me.
And I also love cooking, which is a new thing.
I've never cooked in my life,
and I really enjoy making food and baking.
It's very weird, but I've never had time for it and all of a sudden, literal chef.
I just take any sort of like fluffy brush for my eye shadow, and then just take the
bronzer I used, and the blush I used, and I just kind of take it over my eyelids.
This is just for when I'm trying to keep it really natural, and just kind of easy.
And then I love taking
from this palette, Shine On.
This one here.
And going in the inner corner, kind of, like right here, and just giving a little brightening.
Down under, and then take it in the rim of my eyebrow.
And I also take this and just go right on my nose, right on the bridge.
So after I do my eyes, I go on to my lips, which is kind of like the last step and I
take this Game of Thrones.
I think this
was like a one time, I believe it's Kat Von D, special she must have done with them.
But I'm literally just like praying to god that this still exists because I literally—
like look how much I've used it.
I have nothing left.
I just take it a little bit over my lip line and just kind of everywhere.
So after I use that, I take this Charlotte Tilbury iconic nude lip liner.
And I'm telling you right now, this will be your lifeline.
It's just such a good
nude, and it's not at all over the top.
You can't really even tell that it's not your actual lip color.
Think my must have beauty item for me, I just love this so much, it's always, always, always,
always in my purse.
But I like it to stay more red in the center honestly, a little bit more nude on the outside.
Last step is I take this Bare Minerals dew mist, which makes my face very dewy and makes
it stay on all day and feel fresh and glowy
for the rest of the day.
And that is literally pretty much all I do.
And this stays on for many of hours.
It really just like lasts all day.
The only thing I carry with me when I go out, if I'm leaving the house and I want my makeup
to stay fresh, I literally take the Charlotte Tilbury powder, a little brush, and I take
my Charlotte Tilbury lip liner.
My advice to people, I guess, would be just to find something that makes you feel
calm and at ease, and don't feel the pressures of what everybody's saying online.
And I know we're all seeing like everyone be like, "Look at me, look at me, look me."
And everyone's doing so much on Instagram and so much online because we're all just
like trying to find our place again and, you know, adjust to the new normal.
We're all just adjusting at different rates.
And it's so normal and totally fine.
Sending all my love as always.
