- Hey, it's Diana Silvers,
and I'm going to walk you through my skincare routine,
and then a makeup look.
I'm gonna start by putting my hair back.
[soft funky music]
The first thing I'm gonna do is take off
my little Elmo pimple patches.
I'm about to get my period,
so I'm breaking out a little bit.
The joys of being a woman.
I'm going to use my cleansing balm,
which is the True Botanicals ginger turmeric cleansing balm.
It's for sensitive skin, which I have.
And I really, really love this product.
Pat, not rub, my face dry.
I have always been bad at upkeeping a skincare routine,
but I feel like the older I get, the more important it is
to me to have a skincare routine and stick with it,
'cause consistency is key.
And I try not to introduce too many new products
into my skincare routine because I have
really sensitive skin.
So it's very well curated and thought about.
And it's been a lot of trial and error
and the products that I do use I swear by.
Because I'm breaking out right now,
I really like the Dr. Barbara Sturm clarifying mask.
It's kind of fun.
You get to paint your face a little bit.
[soft electronic music]
I would say that skincare is form of self care.
It's like, just anytime you take time out of your day
to do something nice for yourself,
whether it's skincare or reading or drinking water,
which is also huge in skincare,
you're taking care of yourself.
And that's great.
I'm also like proud of myself when I do a full routine.
I'm like, "Yeah, girl, good for you."
So now I just leave this on for 20 minutes,
which I will use to give you a Ted talk.
Just kidding.
[soft jazzy music]
When I'm about to start my period,
and my body's craving all these horrible things,
actually that are like really bad for your body,
I just like to lean into it.
I don't really care about the couple pimples
here and there.
It's just part of being a woman.
And if my body wants frosted sugar cookies
I'm just going to eat them.
And Dr. Barbara Sturm anti-pollution drops.
[soft jazzy music]
I put on Cle de Peau Beaute serum.
Rub it in my hands and the same thing,
I just pat it into my skin.
I just like to be really gentle with my skin,
'cause it gets red really easily.
I suffer from eczema and rosacea.
My mom is European, so she's Swiss.
She also has eczema.
When she had a zit, I guess her dad believed in vitamin C,
just like, you know, her and her sister got acne,
it was just like, eat a lot of vitamin C
and drink a lot of water.
I really love the Tata Harper restorative eye cream.
It's also, as you can see, almost done.
Gotta get another one of these.
I put, very small amount.
You don't eat that much with under eye cream,
because the skin is really thin around your eyes
so you have to be really delicate with this area.
Dab it around.
And then whatever residue I have,
I actually just put it on my lips.
This is a really lightweight nice moisturizer
for sensitive skin.
It's the Avene hydrating emulsion.
[soft jazzy music]
I feel like all these weird little tips and tricks
I've learned have either been from my mom.
My mom always tells me to steer clear
of fragrance-y things because she also has sensitive skin,
and has learned to steer clear from that.
She already learned lesson, she can just tell me.
Have to put on my baby sunscreen
for my baby sensitive skin.
[soft funky music]
If I have a zit that I'm like desperately trying
to get rid of right before I have something to do,
I take a cotton round and I put a little,
a few drops of tea tree oil on it,
and then I just press it onto the pimple for five seconds.
And then I'll put a patch.
One of my little zit patches.
So after my sunscreen, I do lip balm.
This is Ralphie and Alice pop sticks.
This is 100% vegan.
And now that my skin is all prepped and ready to go,
I'm gonna do some makeup.
So the first thing I do is a primer.
It has SPF.
Great, fantastic.
We love it.
The next thing I do is I put on foundation.
The Cle de Peau Beaute, it's the only foundation I've used
that hasn't made me break out.
Usually what I do with foundation
is I put it on the right here.
I don't know why, it's like a nice pallet.
I use a little sponge, sponge action.
Look at that, it's so cute.
[soft funky music]
Blush is my favorite product in the whole world.
I've been using the Ilia multi-stick
for literally six years.
[soft funky music]
I love blush 'cause I feel like it just adds color
to your face, and I'm not really, I'm not a contour person.
I just, I love a youthful kind of,
lively dewey situation with makeup.
There's been moments where I've put on blush
and just looked like a Victorian doll,
but I've learned to kind of,
I don't know, a little bit goes a long way.
I didn't put that much on and I feel very confident,
but blush has always been present in my life
because my mom is a big blush person.
I sometimes I call her out and I'm like,
"You put too much on, you gotta like, blend it in Mom.
You look crazy."
Oh, that looks so nice right now.
I love it.
I use the Pat McGrath highlighter.
I've had this highlight-
this stick itself for four years.
Oh, look at that.
I'm almost done finally.
But a little bit goes a long way is what I'm saying.
It comes with a balm.
I remember when this first came out
and I was one of the fir-
I never go to Sephora.
And I was at Sephora ready to get this product
because I think she's such an incredible makeup artist.
So the balm you can put down first.
Feel like I kind of blend the highlighter
into the top of the blush.
My goal with makeup is to just accentuate
and elevate my natural features.
I really like the cheekbone.
I like to highlight my lips honestly, because you know,
I got made fun of them a lot growing up,
and now everyone has a thing for lips.
So I'm like, I'm gonna own them and rock them.
The first thing I always do when it comes to eyes
is curl my eyelashes.
So this is like kind of my normal every day look,
and then if I'm kind of day into evening,
making things a little bit more elevated,
I will do liner and mascara.
I love a liquid liner.
I prefer liquid to pencil.
I think it goes on smoother and it's easier to apply.
This is the Cle de Peau Beaute liquid eye liner.
[soft funky music]
So the last thing I do is mascara.
The Gucci mascara, it comes in really nice packaging.
[soft funky music]
These almost feel like it's kind of 60s-esque.
Got this big old doe eyes staring down at you.
Makeup has the power to totally transform
how you see yourself, honestly.
There is nothing I want more
than to do a huge transformative role.
I mean, it'd be so much fun to dye my hair
or have crazy makeup,
or wear really interesting clothes.
There's certain people in history I really wanna play.
Love to play one of my favorite female musicians
like Joni Mitchell or Stevie Nicks.
I think that'd be really fun.
And it'd also be really fun to do a 1700s
kind of a turn of the century period piece.
It would be so much fun to get to time travel, essentially.
I'm now going to put on some lipstick.
This is Maybelline.
One of my best friends, she put this on me.
She did my makeup on a night out in New York in 2017.
So that was five years ago.
And she put this lip color on me
and I fell in love with it.
I asked her I could keep it and I never knew
what it was until today.
And I just kind of dab this on.
I don't like to put too much on cause it's matte.
I tend to go for like browns and berry tones and textures.
I think it compliments my skin really well,
but it also kind of depends on the time of year.
And then the last thing, because you gotta
tame the eyebrows, is the Glossier Boy Brow.
I feel like everyone loves this.
It's a staple in everyone's makeup bag.
You just kinda brush the bad boys out.
Ooh, wow.
Look at that.
Huh, such a difference, right?
I'm gonna feel like such a jerk saying this,
but I don't do anything to my eyebrows.
I have never had to.
Every now and then there's like a rogue hair that
grows up here and then I have to tweeze it out.
But, my mom, when I was younger and I thought I had
terrible eyebrows and terrible lips,
my mom was like, "You're not allowed to touch them
or change them.
You will love this one day."
And I was like, "You're crazy."
And she was right.
So here we are.
Turns out your mom is usually right when it comes
to like loving yourself and what you've been given.
I've been so fortunate that women have really
kind of lifted me up and helped me navigate this industry.
And that's the same thing I wanna do for other women.
That's really all there is to it.
[soft upbeat music]
Before I leave the house,
I will spritz my hair with this Diptyque rose mist.
It smells really nice and fresh.
[soft upbeat music]
I really like the Gucci Bloom fragrance.
Yeah, look at that.
It's like not too over the top.
It's not, it's just subtle enough,
but everything is accentuated and I feel really pretty.
I'm gonna go run some errands.
Probably gonna go to Ikea,
get a rug, 'cause I need to do that, actually.
I love you, I love you.
Thank you for watching.
I hope you have a beautiful day.
[blows kiss]
