Hey guys, it's Addison Rae,

I'm gonna be walking you guys

through my skincare,

and a day to night glowy makeup look.

So first step, I'm gonna be washing my face

with this Sonya Dakar Face Wash.

I use about this much.

And then I rub it together,

and put it on my face.

[soft electronic music]

And then once I wash my face,

I go in with a oil.

And I use the Drunk Elephant Luxury Facial Oil.

[soft electronic music]

My skin is normally pretty good with acne,

like it doesn't really break out,

but I will notice that when it's that time

of the month, around then,

or if I'm really stressed out,

that I will break out more.

It's never really too bad.

I have a little bit of spots right here,

but that's normally from stress.

And after I use my jade roller,

I go in with a moisturizer.

It's just like a cool little top.

You push it down, and then it comes out.

[soft electronic music]

I rub it all the way down to my neck as well.

After I evenly distribute my moisturizer,

I go in with the Tatcha Lip Mask,

which is right here.

It's like a really, really good lip mask,

and I love it.

And I'll put it on before bed,

and then also in the morning.

[soft electronic music]

So next up, I'm gonna be using

this Multivitamin Eye Cream

from Drunk Elephant as well.

Just a little bit.

So my first TikTok was a friend and I

doing this really big trend at the time.

And it ended up getting 93,000 likes overnight,

which was really random for me.

And it was my first video

on my actual account, named addisonre.

So that was pretty crazy, waking up to that.

After I use my eye cream,

I go in with this Elta MD Skincare Sunscreen.

So sunscreen is a super important part

of skincare, and I just started using it.

So hopefully my face

will no longer get sunburnt.

And I use just about this much.

So I actually got recommended this product

from a friend of mine, Kourtney.

And she actually gave me the one I use now.

So she told me about it and said

it was just really good for your skin,

to have sunscreen on it at all times.

And this goes perfect under makeup,

and just without makeup as well.

So thanks Kourtney for the recommendation.

Right after my skincare,

and putting on my sunscreen,

I go right into my makeup, and use

the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Foundation.

So I usually will take my setting spray

that I use at the end of my makeup,

and wet my Beauty Blender with it.

[spritizing]

And then I put my foundation on my hand.

Just about this much.

And then I put it kind of just all over my face.

And then from there I blend with my sponge.

I learned how to do my makeup from my mom.

So when I was growing up,

she was a makeup artist.

Also, growing up in competitive dance,

you learn how to do your makeup,

because stage makeup is super fun,

and red lipstick, and glittery eyeshadow,

and fake eyelashes.

So I kind of learned as I grew up in dance.

All right.

I'm gonna take my Item Concealer.

I wanted to launch Item Beauty because I,

first of all, love makeup,

and grew up loving it as well.

But I also wanted to make a fun and clean brand

that has products that I use daily.

I just really wanted to make products

that would make people use them

to enhance their features,

instead of covering them up,

and make them feel like the best

and most confident version of themselves.

[soft electronic music]

So, for blush, I'm gonna be using this

Beauty Counter Blush Stick in Caramel.

And I'll usually just take it on my finger.

And rub it around,

just so it's warmed up a little bit.

And then I take about that much,

and just dab it on my cheeks.

[soft electronic music]

My favorite TikTok trend is probably,

I feel like I like

the WAP dance right now, that's trending,

just because there's so many different dances

to one song, which I always like.

Whenever a big song has multiple dances to it,

I think it just makes it so much more fun,

because then my friends and I will put on the song,

when we're together,

and just do every single dance,

which is so much fun.

And then also with my blush,

I also put it on my nose,

and kind of go for a sunburnt-ish look,

during the day, because for some reason,

I just really like that.

All right, and then next up,

I will going in with my bronzer.

I'm gonna be using my Item Beauty Bronzer

in Off Topic.

So normally I'll use the lighter shade,

and just go right in,

in the places that I feel necessary.

[soft electronic music]

I'm gonna be using the Patrick Ta.

Take your setting spray,

so I have mine here,

and this is the Mac Fix Plus,

and then I spray it, and just rub it in that.

If I could tell people something,

or confront an assumption

about TikTokers, or social media influencers,

I think it would be that we're all normal people,

and we all have hearts and feelings,

and that negativity

is just really hard sometimes.

And I think a lot of people don't realize

that just because it's behind a screen,

and there's thousands of comments,

doesn't mean that we don't look at them,

or see the negative comments.

So now I'm just brushing the eyebrows up

to a shape that I like.

I am not the best at this,

because I've grown up with really thick eyebrows,

so I never filled them,

in or done gels, or anything like that,

up until like this past year.

And now, I'm just really liking

having a nice, brushed up, big eyebrow look.

So after I do that, I'm gonna take my Item Pencil

once again, but this time,

I'm going to use the other side of it.

And actually, I don't fill in my eyebrows very often,

unless there are little spots

that I need to, like maybe here.

[soft electronic music]

But, normally I will take this,

and do a soft winged eyeliner,

and then I'll just do this.

So a little smudge, very light,

and then kinda just rub it out.

And then I'll do it to the other side as well.

[soft electronic music]

I love the freckles that people do.

And I actually have freckles.

You can't tell now, 'cause I have foundation on,

but the freckles that I have are on my nose,

just from being in the sun a lot,

which is why I'm wearing my sunscreen

from now on.

But I will normally go back in

with my eyebrow pencil,

and re-make these freckles.

Kind of like that.

And then once they're all evenly on there,

then I take my Beauty Blender,

once again, and blend.

And then you have little freckles.

After I do my eyebrows,

little bit of freckles,

and a soft winged eyeliner,

I go in with the Charlotte Tilbury Highlighting Wand

in Goldgasm, and then I just take the end,

and dab it on the spots that I want to highlight.

I'll normally put it under my eyebrow as well.

[soft electronic music]

And then two dots on the sides of my forehead.

I will go back in now

with my same sponge, and just blend that out.

I'm gonna go in with eyeshadow.

With the shade, Blush.

[soft electronic music]

And then I'm gonna go in with the shade Lux,

and just take it on my finger,

and put that on my lid.

[soft electronic music]

So, next up I'll get

my Tweezerman eyelash curler,

and curl my lashes.

[soft electronic music]

For mascara, I'm gonna use my Item Lash Snack,

and just go right in like normal.

[soft electronic music]

I wouldn't say having fans

affects my dating life too much,

because I am not really bothered by it.

I think, it is sometimes a little overwhelming,

because there's always someone wanting to know,

which is a little crazy for me,

because I was never used

to having anybody concerned about my dating life,

besides my mom.

But now, people really wanna know things.

And then when there's problems

in your dating life,

it's really public sometimes.

And it's definitely something to adjust to,

but I'm used to it now, and I understand,

so, but I'm not actually dating right now.

I am very much single,

but really just focusing on myself.

So for lips,

I first go in

with the Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat in Pillowtalk,

and just outline my lips.

And it's very much not sharpened right now,

but I'm gonna do my best

to just get some color on there.

'Cause this is really just a light step

in the color I use on my lips.

[soft electronic music]

This past year, started getting really into long nails,

and I never used to be,

because I danced so much

that I could not have long nails,

because competition made it really difficult

to have nails to dance in.

And we had to keep them short for that.

But now I'm kinda just experimenting,

and these are super fun.

But I have been boxing lately,

and it's almost impossible to do so

with nails like this.

So gonna have to say goodbye to them soon,

but they were fun while they lasted.

And then, next up,

I'm gonna go in with my NARS Lipstick in Band Red.

This is like my all time favorite lipstick color.

And I use this every single day.

I think I've used it for the past three years.

And I cannot get over the shade.

[soft electronic music]

I like a good dewy makeup look,

that is really glowy, and fresh, and simple,

until the nighttime,

and then I like to do

a little bit of a smoky eye, normally.

I will go in with my setting spray,

and set my makeup.

[soft electronic music]

After that, we'll go in with my lip gloss

and it is the Lip Quip from here.

And I usually do this as well

when I'm wanting to be a little more fun,

and have a glossy moment.

But I also like to keep it matte

with the NARS a lot,

because I think it's just a really simple

and natural look.

And then after I've finished my makeup look,

I go right into my hair.

So for my hair, it's kind of air dried a lot

since the beginning of my makeup,

but I go in with this Olaplex Bond Smoother,

and I'll just use like a pea size,

and put it on my hair.

So I, as most people know,

started out in social media

with really, really, really blonde hair.

It was not my natural color.

My natural color is pretty similar to this,

and definitely like a light brown,

warm toned color.

And I went blonde for a while,

and it really damaged my hair, unfortunately.

So these past few months in quarantine,

I've been really trying

to bring back the health of my hair,

and the Bond Smoother

has been really helpful with that.

It's made my hair feel and look so much better.

But I think haircare is super important,

and I've definitely realized that

after damaging my hair,

and coming out with these little bangs

that were done from bleaching.

So definitely learned my lesson

on bleaching my hair.

And I actually use this brush,

which is supposed to straighten your hair

and dry it at the same time.

[soft electronic music]

And then once I do that,

I will go in with my Olaplex Bonding Oil,

and just use a very little amount,

and rub that through my hair,

just to give it a nice shine.

[soft electronic music]

I normally tuck my hair behind my ears.

I love a sleek look, for the most part.

To finish off the look,

I'm going to use my favorite perfume right now.

And it is actually from Kourtney's Diamond Collection,

and her's is yellow and it smells so good.

So I'm gonna take it out.

I'm obsessed with the smell.

So thank you, Kourtney, for the perfume.

And then just spray that on my wrist.

A little bit on my neck.

And then, this is super weird,

but I started doing this,

because I read it on something

that it said you should do this,

it's right behind your knees.

So when you walk, it kind of just absorbs

into your skin.

I don't know, really weird.

Maybe not the best for you,

but I like to do it.

And that is my finished makeup look.

So thank you guys so much for watching,

and hopefully I gave you some new products and tips

that you will enjoy.

So, thank you guys.
