Hi everyone, it's Millie Bobby Brown here

and I'm gonna show you my everyday skincare routine

and my date night look.

I'm gonna start off with the iS Clinical cleansing wash.

I love this, especially if I'm about to break out.

It dries out any acne or any active acne I have on my face.

I started having a skincare routine,

probably like the first time I noticed a pimple on my face

and I was like, Oh my God, what is this?

And my mom helped me and we went shopping together

and to figure out like what was gonna be good for my skin.

[gentle upbeat music]

So next I am gonna put this Hydra-Cool Serum on

by iS Clinical.

I love this, especially when I'm red.

It calms down everything that's a little bit angry at me

on my face.

And I just pat.

So I usually break out when I'm traveling.

That's like when I break out the most.

And in that case, I will give makeup a break

for about a week.

I'll just let my skin do what it needs to do.

I'm gonna do the Pro-Heal Serum

because I wear a lot of makeup when I'm filming.

I wear this a lot

just to help heal over anything that is upset.

This is definitely more on the oily side.

So I really like putting this on before my makeup

because it definitely gives me more of a dewy look.

Next I'm gonna moisturize.

So I'm gonna use the Florence by Mills

Sunny Skies Moisturizer.

This has an SPF 30 in it.

So I like wearing this every day when I'm going out.

About that much.

So now I'm gonna begin with the makeup.

First up, I am actually going to put my foundation on.

This is a L'Oreal foundation.

It's lightweight, it stays on really well,

and I really like the way it looks under powder.

And I'm going to put about that much on.

If I have long nails, I will not use my fingers.

Fresh set, okay.

So I'm gonna use a brush for this.

[gentle upbeat music]

I learned to do my own makeup going on YouTube

and searching up makeup tutorials.

I was like 12

and I just watched people do their makeup for hours.

Two different colors. Woo-hoo.

So I'm gonna match my face to my neck.

[gentle upbeat music]

And this is something we do like

when I'm getting ready for a carpet.

I have to match my face to the rest of my body

if I'm wearing something that's like short length.

And then another thing that bothers me

if people don't do it into their scalp.

For my current film Damsel,

I had quite a say in my makeup look.

But every other thing, I'm really chill about.

It was more Damsel.

I was like, If I'm meant to look like a princess,

I need to be a part of this.

I'm gonna put on a concealer.

So I'm using Nars

and I'm going to put it in the corner of my eye.

[gentle upbeat music]

Jake loves when I put concealer on him.

He's so self-conscious though.

He's like, Does it look like concealer?

I'm like, No, it looks fine.

And I always ask for his advice.

I'm like, Do you like it better

when I put mascara on the bottom

or like not on the bottom?

And he's like, Well, I really like it.

So he really takes note. He's very, very observant.

So actually, like I was using the brush

and I still am like, it's just achieving the look

that I want.

So I just went ahead and did this.

Now I'm gonna set my makeup,

specifically my concealer on my chin and under my eyes.

[gentle upbeat music]

I'm always playing music when I'm getting ready.

I feel like that's the best part of getting ready.

It's like your playlist. Nobody's talking to you.

You could just live in your own creative world

and paint your face.

Top of my playlist right now is Yes, and? Ariana Grande.

I'm gonna use the Chanel bronzer. This is my favorite one.

The smell, smells so good

and like it kind of reminds me

like when I would watch my grandma do her makeup like

in the morning.

I loved the smell of her lipstick

and I loved, I just loved like, I don't know,

she knew exactly how to do it 80 years into her life.

And I kind of put on a lot of bronzer

'cause I'm here for it.

But I'm gonna kind of apply up here.

I loved watching my grandma get ready.

She like wouldn't have been like pro makeup

because she really loved like what I looked like

and being natural.

So I think she would've been like, You don't need that.

And I'm blending into my forehead and my temples

just to make it look a bit more even.

And then I always put a little bit on my chin.

Okay, so next, I'm gonna put on the Pillow Talk

Matte Beauty Blush.

For like three, no, not even three, seven years,

I hated blush because I think it made me look younger.

And when I was young, I was like, I wanna look older.

Like put bronzer on me so that I like.

But now I love blush again.

What I love is like, it's not even pink. It is so pretty.

So I'm gonna get my brush again

and I'm just gonna go over it.

So next I'm actually gonna do my brows.

And this is the order I do my makeup in.

Everyone has their own routine

and this is just the way I do it.

I have been so bad at doing my brows

pretty much my whole life.

My mom gave me a good spirit and a good attitude,

but no eyebrows.

And I am sad about that.

So I have to learn how to be good at doing my eyebrows.

Growing up, everyone was always telling me,

like makeup artists, to pluck my eyebrows.

But I never listened to them because my mom said,

Never let anyone touch your eyebrows.

And I was like, Okay.

But the thing that I guess I wish I could change

is like my eyebrows are kind of far apart.

So I've always been like, Oh I really wish my eyebrows were

just brought in a bit more.

But you know, this is what makeup's for.

So I'll just like, I just pretend to draw like a fake hair

and then just like brush it up.

You know what I've always wanted to do dye my eyebrows.

But then I'm like, I think they would all fall out.

So this is Charlotte Tilbury Clear Brow Gel.

And I use this, even without the pencil,

if I'm like on the go

and I need to just like keep it moving,

I will just brush my brows

and it'll look like I've done something with my face.

So here's the thing, I have never been good with eyeshadow.

I'm going to like do a base.

So I'm gonna use this color

as like the lighter color for my base.

And then I do know with eyeshadow

that you can use a darker color for the crease.

I'm gonna use this color. I'm gonna use this color.

Here we go.

[gentle upbeat music]

When I'm around my family, I'm really English.

And then when I'm around my fiance, I get really American.

I have an alter ego called Taylor and she's southern.

And she comes out when people are like,

Are you Millie Bobby Brown?

I'm like, No, I'm Taylor.

She's like, Oh. Like they really get confused.

So I'm done with my eye.

I didn't do much because I was scared, but this is cute.

And then now I'm gonna go in

with a brown Florence by Mills liner.

This is shade Cool Time.

I named all of the liners after the process of filming.

So we had like Cut, Cool Time 'cause that's my life

and that's all the things that I hear all the time.

For liner, I just try to go as close to my lashes

as possible.

Angela Bassett and Robin Wright,

when I was working with them,

I had like the opportunity to sit in hair and makeup

and watch them get ready

and they had different routines.

Like Angela is very much into her skincare.

And Robin, like, she has flawless skin.

She was very much more into like her makeup

and I was just like, Oh.

So sometimes I'd have to be working,

but I actually was just staring

at like how well their contour looks.

I brought in Florence products to set on Damsel.

I definitely put eye gels on Nick Robinson

and I think he liked it, so that's good.

I have this mascara that looks so scary,

but I got it from a drugstore and it's my favorite mascara.

It's like burgundy.

And I just like the way it looks on my eyelashes.

And I also like the color it brings out in my eyes.

I don't like curling my lashes.

I don't like other people curling my lashes,

but I actually love what they do for my lashes,

but I just cannot be bothered with the process.

When it comes to glam,

I usually create Pinterest boards before I do press tours.

So that kind of everyone's on the same page.

And the main two people

that are always on my Pinterest board

are Blake Lively and Zendaya.

Next I'm gonna do some lip liner.

This is Hourglass.

[gentle upbeat music]

And then I like usually just like smudge it out.

I'm gonna go in with the Florence by Mills Tinted Lip Oil.

This goes to your pH level

so it looks different on everyone,

the color looks different on everyone, which I love.

[gentle upbeat music]

Since it's date night, I'm gonna be putting this in my bag

and taking it with me when I need a touch up.

I'm gonna go in with Wildly Me, my perfume.

I spritz around.

Okay guys, I'm ready for date night.

So I gotta go. Bye!
