00:02 Hi Vogue, it's Ariana Grande,

00:06 and I am here today to walk you through

00:09 some of my skin prep and do a hopefully cute makeup look.

00:14 I'm gonna start with the Sarah Ford Biocell Oxygen Serum.

00:19 Sarah's been doing my skin for a couple of years now.

00:22 She really transformed the texture of my skin.

00:27 It's so soft and smooth, and I still have breakouts

00:32 all the time when I'm using a lot of makeup on set,

00:34 but it keeps my skin as clear as possible

00:39 and non-reactive as possible, so I'm very obsessed.

00:44 Next, I'm going to use La Mer moisturizer,

00:47 and I'm going to mix it with some SPF.

00:51 Growing up in Florida, I spent a lot of time in the sun.

00:55 I think that's probably where some of my discoloration

00:58 and my freckles and everything comes from.

01:00 It's important to protect your skin as much as possible

01:08 when you're using so much makeup.

01:09 Clearly, I wear a lot of makeup.

01:11 I'm sure everyone's gonna be like, "Who?"

01:14 Next, I'm going to use R.E.M. Beauty Under Eye Cooling Balm.

01:17 This is one of my favorite products we have.

01:19 This has my favorite texture in the world.

01:23 It's super cool.

01:25 And plumping, so it fills out any little fine lines

01:30 and creates such a smooth base for your makeup.

01:35 I'm also gonna use these Shiseido eye patches.

01:38 Which way are these supposed to go, world?

01:42 Because I do them this way, but I have to be wrong.

01:47 At four in the morning, I'm always with my headphones

01:52 doing my meditation in the car,

01:53 and then I get ready for a day on set.

01:56 So they've been on for a good four hours now,

02:00 so I'm gonna take these off.

02:01 Now I'm gonna get into my makeup.

02:03 The first thing I'm going to use

02:06 is our brand new R.E.M. Beauty Sweetener Foundation.

02:09 I'm using the shade Light 8NW.

02:12 I'm gonna use a pump and a half.

02:20 Next, I'm gonna use Sweetener Concealer.

02:23 My shade is Light 4G.

02:25 And I'm gonna get ready to set

02:27 with this Anastasia Vanilla Setting Powder.

02:31 I like to set pretty quickly after I apply.

02:34 I just try to make sure that nothing could possibly move.

02:38 I'm gonna go a little bit out of order

02:48 and start to fill in my eyebrows,

02:50 'cause I'm sure they're probably driving you crazy too.

02:53 I am currently like half Glinda.

02:55 I've been bleaching my eyebrows for a year now,

02:58 and I definitely need to touch them up.

03:00 I'm gonna fill them in with this MAC Eyebrow Styler

03:04 in the shade Fling.

03:06 I like to make the ends really short

03:10 and kind of shave them and ruin them,

03:14 and then draw the shape I like,

03:17 which is more of a like kind of straight

03:20 and lifted Audrey Hepburn-ish shaped brow.

03:25 So I'm gonna try to do that.

03:28 I kind of have eyebrows now.

03:34 I don't know what I'm gonna do next.

03:36 I feel like I'm going in a strange order today,

03:38 but I'm just gonna go with the flow

03:41 and we'll figure it out together.

03:43 I started doing family theater and community theater

03:47 in Boca Raton, Florida, which is crazy,

03:50 when I was like eight years old,

03:52 and I always associated each character I played

03:55 with a different makeup kit.

03:57 So when I was Annie, I remember using a different blush

04:02 or a different, like, even though I was eight

04:05 and there was so minimal makeup,

04:06 that was always a really fun thing to me.

04:08 And then in music, I don't know,

04:09 like a different look for each song and video.

04:12 It became such an important piece of the puzzle

04:14 and it's such an important part of being an artist

04:18 and of storytelling.

04:19 And also from watching drag, I love drag so much.

04:23 It is so inspiring to me.

04:25 When I was on Broadway doing "13,"

04:28 I used to go afterwards to like see the queens

04:31 and sometimes I would end up singing.

04:33 And that was just a really joyous

04:36 and important part of my life.

04:38 I'm going to use this contour.

04:40 It says Nuria too,

04:42 because I stole this from my makeup artist.

04:44 I have a massive forehead to begin with

04:48 and my hairline is sliding back more and more every day.

04:52 So I have to contour it more and more as time goes on.

04:57 I'm going to do my little button nose trick that I like.

05:10 And then I'm going to highlight

05:13 using our R.E.M. Beauty Miss Mercury highlight.

05:15 I'm not flipping you off, but maybe, you know?

05:18 I was always fascinated by Audrey Hepburn

05:27 and Marilyn Monroe because you could tell

05:30 that they were doing these makeup tricks

05:32 before anyone really had it figured out yet.

05:35 You look at like Audrey's gorgeous brows that she drew

05:38 and the way she did her lipstick,

05:40 like slightly like over here.

05:42 And then Marilyn had her own tricks.

05:44 It's just, and I think she used to use Vaseline

05:46 as highlight back then.

05:48 It's just so cool.

05:49 It's always fascinated me.

05:50 I love, I've always loved makeup.

05:52 I don't know what I am doing.

05:54 This is the most discombobulated makeup video

05:57 on Vogue's channel.

05:59 I'm going to do Bobby Brown.

06:00 I'm going to take this pink that is over here,

06:02 this, that one, and just kind of

06:08 my whole lid basically, but also my whole face.

06:12 One of my favorite things to do is to create

06:16 like a 60s looking cat eye.

06:19 And I'm going to use our multi-use eye stick

06:22 in Intergalactic.

06:23 I'm really concerned about making sure

06:26 you guys are seeing everything.

06:28 And in the process of doing so,

06:30 I can't see a goddamn thing I'm doing.

06:33 I'm just coloring like a four-year-old,

06:38 but it will come together, trust me.

06:40 My next step is going to be blush,

06:44 and I'm going to use Dior Rosy Glow.

06:47 Something I do with my blush that also makes no sense

06:51 is I like go in my eyebrows and my this

06:55 and kind of everywhere.

06:57 Something else that I fell in love with recently

07:01 is doing like a shadowy version of a cat eye

07:05 instead of a liquid line.

07:06 Back to the Bobby Brown.

07:08 I'm going to mix that guy and this one.

07:10 Oh my God, I'm allowed to use this.

07:11 I just found out.

07:12 We have hope.

07:14 I feel like my relationship to beauty has changed

07:22 so much over the years,

07:24 especially because I started so young,

07:29 you know, being exposed to so many voices at a young age.

07:33 And especially when people have like things to say

07:38 about your appearance and stuff at a young age,

07:40 it's like really hard to know what's worth hearing or not.

07:45 But you know, when you're 17, you don't really know,

07:48 you don't know that yet.

07:49 I, over the years, used makeup as a disguise

07:54 or as something to hide behind

07:56 and more and more and more hair,

07:58 more and more thicker, the eyeliner, the whatever.

08:01 And that can be so beautiful at times.

08:03 And I still do have love for it.

08:06 I'm doing mascara.

08:07 I have an appreciation for it.

08:09 But I think as I get older,

08:13 I don't love that being the intention behind it anymore.

08:17 I think of it as self-expression now

08:19 and accentuating what is here.

08:21 Our relationships to beauty are so personal.

08:24 Like we're here talking about beauty secrets.

08:26 Isn't the secret that we all just want to feel our best

08:29 and be loved.

08:32 Full transparency as a beauty person, as I do my lips,

08:36 I've had a ton of lip filler over the years and Botox.

08:40 I stopped in 2018 'cause I just felt so too much.

08:45 I just felt like hiding, you know?

08:50 Didn't expect to get emotional.

08:54 Take 300.

08:59 No, for a long time, beauty was about hiding for me.

09:05 And now I feel like maybe it's not.

09:07 Since I stopped getting fillers and Botox,

09:10 and maybe I'll start again one day, I don't know.

09:11 To each their own.

09:12 Whatever makes you feel beautiful, I do support.

09:14 I know for me, I was just like, oh.

09:16 I want to see my well-earned cry lines and smile lines.

09:21 I hope my smile lines get deeper and deeper.

09:26 And I laugh more and more.

09:27 And I just think aging is like such a,

09:31 it can be such a beautiful thing.

09:32 Now, might I get a facelift in 10 years?

09:36 Might, yeah.

09:38 But these are just thoughts that I feel like

09:41 we should be able to discuss

09:43 if we're sitting here talking about beauty secrets.

09:45 Fuck it, let's lay it all out there.

09:47 Juicy tubes.

10:01 Something I do, and that's insane,

10:03 but I use my lip stain and then I put gloss

10:05 and then I wipe it off so it looks like

10:06 I actually have pigment in my lips, which I don't.

10:08 I'm gonna use Pink Razor instead.

10:10 It's a little more fair.

10:12 Mod Vanilla, my favorite.

10:17 Love it so much, I actually do love it so much.

10:19 Fragrance is so important to me.

10:21 It's one of my favorite things to work on.

10:23 I saw Hailey Bieber use my product in her video,

10:26 and I brought hers to mine because I love this lip mask.

10:30 It's so good.

10:31 This is the Watermelon,

10:32 but I think the Birthday Cake is my favorite.

10:35 I'm gonna make this line a little heavier

10:36 'cause I know that's what the children want.

10:38 When I did Drag Race, Ru came out

10:41 to come sit at the judging panel.

10:44 She was like, "Miss Grande, I love your never-ending

10:49 "stream of PR packages that are constantly arriving."

10:54 And I was like, "Oh my God, I'm so sorry.

10:57 "Do you want it to end?

10:58 "It can end if you want it to."

11:01 And he was like, "No, I really mean it, I love it.

11:04 "And you created the perfect chocolate brown eye pencil."

11:09 And I was like, "Oh, I can and will die now."

11:13 That was the best moment of my makeup career so far.

11:18 I'm gonna set with Fenty Setting Spray.

11:20 They don't sell this anymore.

11:22 That is it.

11:26 I think we did a pretty and pink cat eye moment today.

11:31 We had a little therapy session in the middle,

11:34 talked about beauty inside and out.

11:36 And I'm just sending everyone so much love.

11:38 Thank you for watching.

11:39 Have a beautiful day.
