- Hey, I'm Gracie Abrams and I'm gonna walk you
through my everyday skin care routine
and my kind of go to daytime glam situation.
I am a very puffy, puffy girl in the face when I wake up
no matter what.
So I use ice every morning like this,
and it's not necessarily, it's not a graceful one
but it helps me.
My mom would suggest like putting ice behind my ears
and like on my wrists when I was little
cause I would get like anxious and nauseous.
I'm gonna wash my face now.
Clear Cell cleanser.
My skincare journey has been a very interesting one.
I had like no problems with acne at all growing up,
which was really lucky.
But then the summer before I went to college
something changed and my body got really angry
and I started breaking out like horrible cystic acne.
It was like so bad that it would hurt to sleep on.
The next thing that I do
kind of like once every couple weeks, take this down.
This face mask, it's a hydrating one.
I got a facial like a week ago before I went upstate
[whispers] to work on the album,
and I am a sensitive person
inside and outside and my skin started to peel.
This mask is really hydrating.
[soft music]
I use this face roller tool.
I'm gonna just go over, this just feels so nice.
When I went to college my anxiety like skyrocketed
in a way that was so in my face that I couldn't really
ignore anymore and that's kind of when I got into this more.
This is something that I can do that feels
like a tangible way to like be taken care of, of myself.
It's kind of like giving your brain a little moment
of rest and sometimes like small distractions like this
are really nice.
This pure hydration serum.
These products are super dewy, really hydrating,
just feels really nice.
Skin is unpredictable and like breaking out
kind of right now.
Acne doesn't bother me as much now as it used to.
I'm really okay.
I think it's cool the way that a lot of people
on social media recently I feel like have been
just showing it and making it all right.
The next thing I'm using right now is this thing called
Age Intervention Peptide Extreme.
This is the moisturizer I'm using these days.
Most of the skincare products that I'm using right now,
a lot of them are kind of really meant for adult acne
which makes me feel like I'm doing something
to like prevent.
The Tom Ford Illuminating Primer.
So I use this as a primer before makeup
but also on like a day to day when I could not
be bothered to, I don't know, spend more
than like five minutes in the mirror in the morning.
I like to use this alone.
It's like less than a highlighter but more than nothing.
This I found recently.
This is the sunscreen and kind of like skin tint
that I've been using.
It was all over TikTok and I honestly have been spending
so much less time on social media recently
which has been so good for my brain.
I am grateful that I was on it the day that I found this
because this is like changed my life.
My skin has changed a lot over the years
but like hardcore 'cause of touring
it's just you can't control it.
Pillow cases in hotels sometimes
like that's a thing that I never thought about
being like potentially problematic before.
What's so great about having skin care routine
or just spending time with yourself in this way
is that it kind of does feel like wherever you are,
it's almost like a little bit of
a home away from home moment,
like sitting backstage or on the bus
and taking the like 30 minutes of drinking extra water
and like applying like brow gel
it makes me feel deeply at peace.
I was more afraid of performing live
than like anything else.
Like my biggest fears in the world were like tsunamis
and singing in front of people.
And before Covid I was in rehearsals to do a tour,
when everyone went into to lockdown
we were all quarantining.
I started playing this set that I would've gone out
and done but at home and the music director who I work with
who helps put on the the shows had this idea to do shows
through Zoom when it was this like baby steps
of an introduction to touring.
So by the end of those shows I was excited
and I felt more ready.
So thank you for attending and making me feel
like less insane.
This is my favorite lip product in the world.
It's the Lineage sleeping mask.
This year we were touring six months straight basically.
The middle of those three legs of tour
was with Olivia Rodrigo and she and I have been friends
for a minute and to know that I was gonna have a friend
on the road, made it feel like summer camp.
This I was introduced to in a real way
by my best friend Ariana.
She was my college roommate.
I rub it between my hands until it's super warm
and like oily and then I just put it all over.
It makes you look like you've been drinking a lot
of water and I need to do more of that.
So this is like a fun little cheat.
Another thing about this product that's so good
for any of you tattoo people,
this is what I use for tattoo healing.
Skin is done, time to help me a little more, make up time.
The sunscreen that I used earlier is tinted and just helps.
I love the base.
Sometimes I do nothing else.
Today I'm doing more check it.
This is the Westman Atelier Foundation stick.
I put this directly on my face,
mostly on the spot where there's like
noticeable discoloration.
Some of my favorite artists have had like complete
bare faces.
I feel like most of the time like Fiona Apple
and Joni Mitchell.
I have gravitated I think mostly just because
growing up like I played like really competitive soccer
and was sweating all the time so it was like
a very different kind of a vibe for me
and I think that maybe that contributed to my lack
of like intensity in terms of the makeup that I use.
That being said, I've loved Lady Gaga for so long
and the way that she uses makeup and has over the course
of her career on carpets and it shows
and like that to me I'm like, holy shit.
Like anytime she does anything I kind of drop dead
a little bit.
This is the lighter shade and I like to use it
under my eyes a little bit.
Again, this is like more of like a brightening situation.
I like this sometimes more than some of the other concealer
products that I've tried just because it really is,
it's so creamy.
This is the Nars Creamy concealer.
I like this for acne.
Also, I don't remember where I learned this trick.
If you spot treat and then like let it sit
for a couple seconds,
it dries up a bit in a good way and will like the coverage
is like a little bit more reliable.
This is also Westman Atelier and it's the bronzer contour.
[soft music]
I love blush so very much.
This Tower 28 is an all time favorite
and then Glossier Cloud Paint, another classic.
I'm gonna use a tiny bit of the Cloud Paint.
See this is like this happens where I,
some of the acne that I've had really like is gone
and then wants to stick around.
This is my favorite highlighter in the history of the world.
It's Chanel, it's really great.
It's like a balm.
I like to put it a little bit on the inner corners
of my eye.
This is a Cover Girl eye pencil.
I like to use an eyelash curler.
This is Surratt.
Curl in the lashes and then this.
And I kind of pull it out a little
and then just use my finger to like...
Okay, I'm gonna do lip stuff now
but I'm using just a wash cloth.
These are the pencils that I use to get a color
that makes me happy.
This is the Pillow Talk in medium
and then this is the makeup forever.
It's like a chocolate color.
I don't like it just like this.
I would not leave it just like it's too pink for me.
This Glossier lip and the shade Trench
which is the one that I'm super into right now.
This is the lip balm situation
and it's really good and it's on the mauvie side.
I have had a brow journey when I was in middle school.
I plucked like my brows basically started like here.
I can't believe they grew back.
I don't know, like someone was watching
over me somewhat like it.
They really grew back.
Brow gel is my most favorite makeup product.
I used the Anastasia Brow Freeze.
I recently read Jennifer Lawrence's Vogue cover story
and she was like, I don't,
I can't fuck with people that aren't political anymore.
And I stand behind that really heavily
because it's just the world is on fire.
There is I think an obligation to be starting conversations
about everything that's going on
for everyone all over the place.
Please go to abortionfunds.org.
Just please go and you can figure
out how to get involved in your own local funds.
My mom growing up, like had,
she's not a big makeup person at all
but she had this compact, this [indistinct] in a concealer.
And I think I like maybe a lot of the minimalism
in this world is because I love my mom so much
and I just now want to be like her.
And she does very little so I'm like same.
But I'm lucky to be really close with my parents.
And my dad was writing wild stories all the time
and like had a crazy imagination.
I think it gave me permission to also know
that like adults can be storytellers too.
This I love 'cause it makes it look like
more intentionally messy.
This is called Freck.
I have a lot of freckles on my face.
I also am like very pale and the pale products
that I use covers my freckles.
So I like to use this to bring back some
of the like darker ones.
I love this one.
And you're getting a real up close shot of the gap
on in my teeth, which growing up I wanted to close
'cause people would always ask me if I was gonna.
One day I was at the mall with my dad
'cause we were getting a suitcase.
The woman who owned the store, she was like,
to me and I was really young and I walked over to her
and she goes, never close your gap.
It's good luck.
And I was like, oh shit.
This is my favorite fragrance of all time.
Someone my mom told me that like
if you spray it in your hair a little
then like all day long you'll smell good.
I carry with me in my bag all the time.
Santal 33.
It smells like the way that,
I feel like my childhood bedroom smells like this.
This is it.
We're done here.
Thank you for hanging out with me.
I hope that you're happy, healthy, safe, hydrated,
loving and kind to your family.
Being good to yourself.
I will see you soon.
Okay, I love you.
Bye, muah!
