- I am Rachel Brosnahan and I'm gonna take you
through my daily skincare routine,
and a simple everyday makeup look.
First up, I've been using this Cetaphil cleanser
since I was 16 years old.
I have really, really sensitive skin,
and I find that using it without water
keeps it even more hydrated,
and it's even more gentle than it already is.
[calm music]
I remove the excess with one of these guys.
[calm music]
And if I have a little bit of extra time in the morning
I like to take time to do a sheet mask.
Bonus, they're totally crazy looking.
My dogs are completely freaked out by this.
[calm music]
And then I like to rub the excess down my neck.
[calm music]
If I have a little bit of extra time
I can also do a little lip scrub while I have this on.
This is especially helpful when I'm working,
especially if I'm wearing a lot of lipstick.
[calm music]
[upbeat music]
When I'm working a lot it can be really really hard
to find the time to take care of myself,
to just relax, and I think even taking 15 minutes
to do something simple like a face mask
can make you feel rejuvenated, and brand new.
I know it has for me.
Then put a little bit of eye cream on to prep my under eye.
[upbeat music]
Just pat it in really lightly.
[upbeat music]
I like to put a little bit of extra on my lips.
[upbeat music]
Then a little bit of serum all over the face.
[upbeat music]
And now moisturizer.
[popping off lid]
[upbeat music]
And I like to use a little bit of a heavier moisturizer
because I find that my skin leans really on the dry side.
Again, especially if I'm working or wearing a lot of makeup.
I feel like I can never use a moisturizer that's too thick.
[upbeat music]
And then every day sunscreen.
I've definitely, as I've gotten older
noticed little sun spots starting to come through,
and that's definitely from major sunburns from childhood.
Yikes.
I feel like there's no such thing as too much SPF.
SPF 97,
86,
45,
100,
that's the one for me.
[upbeat music]
Okay, so now that my skincare is done,
I'm gonna dive into makeup.
I like to use a tinted moisturizer every day.
When I'm working I usually have to use a little bit
of a heavier foundation,
but for my own daily use I like a little bit lighter,
a little bit more sheer, and natural.
[calm music]
I like the tinted moisturizer.
I feel like it looks like my skin.
You can't really see that I'm wearing makeup
even in natural light.
[upbeat music]
Also like that this tinted moisturizer
has a little bit of SPF as well.
I didn't really wear makeup when I was growing up,
I was really athletic and I played a lot of sports,
and I felt like makeup made me break out.
So I was a little bit late to the makeup game.
[laughing]
It took me a long time to learn
how to do my own makeup at all.
And now I really enjoy it.
Going to do a little bit of concealer under my eyes.
I didn't get a lot of sleep last night
so let's see if we can give me an extra hour or two.
[upbeat music]
My makeup routine takes quite a bit less time
than it takes to transform into Midge Maisel,
or than I imagine her makeup routine probably takes.
On the show, it usually takes about an hour
and a half to two hours to go through full hair and makeup.
Takes me a lot less time than that, thankfully.
So I'm now looking a little bit more awake.
Then I use this guy, that's a slightly lighter color
than the one that I use under my eyes,
to conceal any other little red spots I might have.
I like to dab it in with my finger.
I actually prefer that all of my makeup
could be put on with my fingers.
Sometimes I feel like it looks even better that way.
I'm a big in the back of a taxi,
or on the subway makeup person.
One thing that I definitely learned from playing Midge
would be not to go to bed with your makeup on.
I can't imagine the kind of pressure
that women in the 1950s felt,
and some women still feel today
to look that perfect all the time.
It's not good for your skin to sleep in your makeup.
Big, big, hard no.
Now, any other little red spots are concealed,
and I'm gonna do a little bit of work on my brows.
A trick that I learned recently is actually
to brush them down so that you can see the shape
of your brow as you're filling it in.
[calm music]
I definitely, definitely fell into the the no eyebrows trap.
I had no brows, and I'm lucky that they grew back.
I was huge into over tweezing, and threading.
And I'm so glad that more natural looking brows
are back in style.
[upbeat music]
Your beauty routine, your skincare, your makeup,
is really just about what makes you feel good,
and what makes you feel the most like yourself.
And there are so many trends out there
that I think make people feel
like there's only one way to be beautiful.
Some people feel their best with no makeup on at all,
and some people feel their best with a full face.
And it feels important not to judge or compare
what makes you feel good to other people.
Midge feels her best when she's fully dressed to the nines
with a full face of makeup on.
And I think I feel my best when I look
a little bit more like myself.
So most of my beauty and skincare routines
are targeted at bringing out the best version of myself.
This guy, I'm a huge fan of products
that can be used in multiple ways.
So this guy can be a lip, eye, and a cheek.
And so I'll just kind of go on my lip first.
[upbeat music]
Then some cheek action.
Follow the apple.
I look like a crazy person.
And rub it in.
It gives a really natural rosiness, wakes my face up.
And then put it on my eyelids as well.
[upbeat music]
I like the balm because again, it's super moisturizing.
Sometimes I find that if I use powder too much
on my eyelids, they can get a little dry.
[upbeat music]
So next up, a little bit of mascara.
And this is just a super simple and really natural
every day makeup look.
[upbeat music]
Especially if I'm not using a liner,
I'll really pump up the mascara.
[upbeat music]
And last, but certainly not least,
my very, very well loved powder.
This has been dropped like a hundred times.
So--
[blowing]
Gotta blow it off little bit.
First go under my eyes.
And I really try not to over powder.
I actually, I really like to let a little bit
of dewiness come through.
Good skin prep shines through great makeup.
[upbeat music]
And there we go.
Everyday makeup.
Simple, natural.
[upbeat music]
Okay.
[brushing hair]
See you later.
