- Hi, Beauty Secrets.
I'm Emmy and I'm gonna walk you through my morning routine.
In the shower, I use Living proof, Perfect Hair Day
In-Shower Styler.
I went through years of using 15 different products
to try to get the perfect curl cocktail
to only come down to, this is the one product
that works for me.
And I'm gonna use this microfiber towel.
This is the diffuser attachment that I use,
I travel with it.
It's really good.
What I love about curly hair,
I think that it projects a confidence.
For so many years I straightened my hair,
I keratined my hair,
I would flat iron and blow dry
and try to kind of contort this into
a different ideal of beauty
and finally kind of embracing my natural hair
is something that now makes me feel so unique.
My next step is skincare.
I'm very much an inside out kind of person.
I am going to start by hydrating with water.
I'm gonna use this element packet.
What I'm gonna start with is Clinical Firming Copper Mist.
I like this to refresh makeup.
I like it--
I like it on the beach.
I like it anytime you just feel
like you need to reset.
Elizabeth Arden, Eight Hour Cream.
Next I'm gonna use the Hydrocodone serum from iS Clinical.
Having clear skin and having hydrated skin
just really makes me feel confident,
way more than even makeup.
I would say I wash my face
and do a nighttime routine every single night.
There's probably only one night
in my entire life that I didn't do it.
And I think it was
the night I went into labor.
This is a hydrating serum from my facialist in LA,
Shani Darden.
And I like to pat things in.
I have a facial steamer.
I have little tiny lances.
I've got little medical things
so I can do my own extractions.
I have peels, after peels.
I've got masks.
I really like skincare.
This is a Sisley Fluid Eye Contour.
This is a neck complex by iS Clinical
and I have to be honest
I'm really obsessed with neck skin.
This is a Sisley Primer of sorts.
The most important piece of any skincare routine is SPF.
This is, ISDIN Actinica.
Now we are done with our skincare
and we're gonna move on to a little bit of makeup.
I use this Sisley foundation.
I do not use foundation every day,
but if I have a zoom meeting
or am going out to dinner
or a business lunch, I do like a little bit.
Or if I just have a little bit of extra time,
sometimes I just like to swipe it on.
This one's also super, super lightweight.
So it doesn't really feel like anything.
This is a Kosas concealer
and this is a Kevyn Aucoin concealer.
I like to mix them.
I'm not gonna cover my blue line.
My blue line is something that my husband really loves.
We met making a movie together.
He was the director
and he would never allow them to put concealer
on that part of my eye
because he said it looked real
and authentic.
And in fact, him loving that about me
made me love that about me.
In terms of learning to do makeup,
I have pretty much been doing it
since I'm a very, very young kid
because I started as a theater performer,
performing at the opera when I was seven years old.
So, sometimes we used to have to do like almost real pancake
like stage makeup.
This is a JILLIAN DEMPSEY Lid Tint
and I'm mixing up pink and a more brownie brown.
What I like about creams is you kind of can't mess them up.
On the Red Carpet, I will do just about anything.
I love classic makeup.
I love big bold colors on the mouth.
I like playing with different eye shapes.
I used to feel also that you couldn't wear curly hair
with kind of more bold makeup or even prints.
I love to wear prints, big bold colorful prints.
And I just thought it was all just like too much,
too loud, too aggressive.
Now I actually think of it as kind of whimsical,
playful, energetic.
Charlotte Tilbury pencil.
It's called Dark Pearl.
This is the Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler.
Next step is mascara.
I would say that mascara is probably
something I do every day.
And this is a really cool mascara.
I've used this for a couple years.
It's a twist brush.
So I like to do two coats only on the top
and I do one coat straight and then one coat curly.
This is a Benefit bronzer.
I really like kind of more Mac products.
I find that anything with kind of iridescence,
those little particles tend to make me break out.
This is something
that I've been using for probably 20 years.
This is the Chanel blush.
I think I use this on Mystic River.
I like the apples of the cheek to be Pinker.
Brows are something I really care about....
I've had to bleach, shave, tweeze,
do all kinds of things to my eyebrows.
My eyebrows are back, they're happening.
I'm just gonna go in and use this tiny pencil right there.
I just like to fill in that hole.
I went through a phase where I would really fill it all in
and they just looked like two crazy legos on my face.
And wasn't that cute?
This is the Anastasia Clear Brow Gel.
One of the coolest things
about the job that I get to do
is the incredibly talented artist that I work with.
And I love getting to work with
a hair and makeup prosthetics
and costume team on the show that I just finished,
Angeline, it's a full transformation.
I'm aging a lot in both directions
and it's a lot on your skin to have prosthetics on
every day.
Some days I would sit in the chair three hours.
Some days was seven hours
and some days it was absolutely none of me,
two sets of contact lenses,
an absolute like 15 pieces on my face,
always a wig, a neck piece, prosthetic breasts.
Lips is the last thing.
Lisa Eldridge pencil.
I don't like an over lined mouth.
Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm.
I have used this forever.
This is a Rouge Palette.
My last step,
I really care about how things smell,
a little spritz of perfume.
This is Vaniglia del Madagascar.
I've again been using this 10 or 15 years.
I don't like a lot, I like to do a step through.
I really just like to smell like a sweet cookie.
That's our finished look
and now we're ready to start our day.
So much love.
