- The thing we want to do is kick off another theme week,
and it's beauty week.
That's right. (chimes ringing)
(crowd cheering)
I am a beauty junkie, and today and all week long,
we're gonna be celebrating all things beauty,
both inside and out.
And I feel as strongly about serums and scrubs
as I do about stains, and if you've ever seen the show,
you know that's a lot of passion.
- [Crowd] Yeah.
- That's right.
In all seriousness, I have been working
in the beauty industry, well, almost my whole,
basically my whole life.
I grew up in a makeup chair.
And when I was a kid, I'd see the women come in.
They didn't really do makeup and hair on me.
You know, they put pigtails on me and like, you know,
did the little buff around my face to make me feel special,
but really I would watch these other women come in,
and it was like being in the backstage of ballet.
It was magic.
I'd watch women transform themselves
through hair and makeup.
And I saw their body language change
and their confidence levels skyrocket.
And we need these little tools in our arsenal,
but I do really believe that beauty comes from within.
And if you don't have the right internal mindset,
I believe emphatically that you will be hindered
from looking your best on the outside.
But sometimes we need a little help and a little ja-jing,
And that's where beauty tools come in.
And gosh, do I know about that, working with Flower Beauty
for 10 years, being a cover girl for many years before that.
This industry is important and meaningful to women,
and we just always have to get the messaging right.
So we're gonna do so many things today.
The roster of guests we have really blows my mind.
I'm just beyond excited for today and this week.
And we're gonna start and kick it off and have some fun.
We're gonna have this beautiful woman get ready with us
and go from A to Z because she's here right now.
Her name is Jessica Walter.
(crowd cheering)
Hi, Jessica.
- Hi, thank you so much for having me.
It's an honor. - Oh, thank you so much.
It's an honor for me too.
All right, so you are a frontline essential superhero.
- Yes. (laughing)
- And you want to get ready
because I believe something happened in your life recently?
- Oh, it sure did.
- [Drew] What is that?
- So I'm an essential worker at the hospital,
and I need to get ready for a virtual date.
And I have no idea what to wear.
(crowd cheering)
I don't know what to wear.
I don't know what to do with my hair or my makeup.
And that's where you come in.
So I'm gonna need your help.
- Okay, I am like your little mascot.
We have a team of people.
We're gonna help.
But really we just want to watch your process
and engage with you throughout the show.
So let's remove your mask.
- Okay.
- [Drew] Okay, yeah, you're stunning.
- Oh my God. (laughing)
Not as pretty as you. - And I love your curly hair.
You want to go with a more barrel rolled look.
That's your comfort zone. - Yes, it is.
If that's totally cool with you.
- It's totally fine with me.
It's just ironic because we always want what we don't have.
You've got straight hair, you want curly.
You got curly hair, you want straight.
Okay, so let's start with your hair,
and then I'm gonna pick a little foundation for you.
- Thank you.
- That's right.
And then I'm also going to grab this
because it's my favorite.
Do you prefer a powder or a gel blush?
- Let's go for powder tonight.
- Okay, then these actually...
I'm gonna prefer this one.
- Okay.
- These actually won an Allure Best in Beauty Award,
I'm proud to say. - Ooh.
I'm so excited! - I know, and give you
some brushes. - Thank you so much.
- And all right, let's start with that.
And then I want to see where you go with that
and then pick your lip according to your outfit.
Jessica, we'll be doing the show
with you. - Thank you so much.
I'm so excited! - I'm so excited to get you
ready for big night, such a romantic.
- You are literally my wing woman today.
- Okay, I am your wing woman. - You are a wing woman.
- We're in the midst of a get ready with Jessica,
who is an essential frontline worker and totally beautiful
and has a virtual date.
How's it going?
- Oh, it's going.
- You're working that barrel. - It's a work in progress.
- Okay, all right, next is makeup.
Jessica, how are you doing?
- Good, how are you?
- [Drew] I'm great.
It's time for your lip.
You chose the honey nude.
- I did.
- All right.
You're rocking it.
Maybe a little blush now.
Okay, we'll check in with you at the end of the show.
It's happening.
We have been all show long working with Jessica,
oh, who's not here.
- Jessica's at the-- - She's coming
from the double yellow doors.
She is here.
Jessica, come through.
Oh my God! (Jessica screaming)
(crowd cheering) Oh my gosh!
I looked over and I'm like, "She's not there,"
but there she is.
Okay, Zana and I want to ask,
what are you most excited about for your date?
- This outfit, this hair,
and your products that I used on my face.
I mean, thank you so much.
And I'm so excited to finally meet him virtually.
- You chose the right lipstick 'cause you look gorgeous.
- Thank you so much. - So beautiful.
- [Jessica] Thank you.
- [Zana] I need to know where that cardigan's from.
- And what is one thing that like his profile said
or getting to know him or setting up the date
really spoke to, you out of curiosity?
- So he just seems really genuine.
And I love that in a man, somebody who's gonna,
you know, show up for a date virtually,
like that's a lot of work.
I mean, you know, it's a pandemic, so.
I'm really happy. - Well you should show up
with all the confidence in the world
because you are doing important things in this world.
You're a good, selfless human. - Thank you.
- And you're also stunning.
So I hope you show up knowing you have so much to offer.
- [Jessica] Thank you so much, Drew.
That means so much to me.
- Well, it's true.
And as Zana and I really believe in this world,
the way that you feel on the inside is truly reflective
of how you will be on the outside.
