Carey Mulligan's Oscar's Gift To Herself Was This At-Home Laser Treatment

[gentle music]

Hi Vogue, it's Carey Mulligan.

I'm gonna walk you through my skincare

and my parent teacher conference makeup look.

Hyaluronic micellar H2O.

A very pleasing kind of pump.

I love doing skincare and I spend as much time as I can

before I'm interrupted by a child or my husband

to go somewhere doing skincare stuff,

'cause I love it and it feels like sort of such luxury

to spend time not talking to anyone.

This lovely stuff.

This is the Advanced Skin Repair Serum,

which you are meant to just use a bit of,

but I gloop it all over the place,

'cause it feels so nice.

And then I always use a little bit of this,

which is a gorgeous moisturizer from Lancome,

which smells amazing as well.

It's super lightweight but it's so hydration

and I can put it everywhere.

And crucially, all the way down my neck.

And then I put on this La Mer eye cream, which I love,

and I've used forever and just smush it all around here.

I get out the big guns.

I, a couple of years ago, got the LYMA laser,

which is basically my Oscars present to myself.

And it's massive.

It is three lasers in one, and it's the most amazing thing.

I used it the entire way on the plane

and you just hold it on one area for three minutes

and you can sit for hours

so that it doesn't damage the cells, it just renews them.

I've got a scar here just above my brow

from when I walked into a door in the middle of the night

to go and feed my baby.

And this scar is going away. This is a kind of a fun one.

Do that for a while.

This is gonna be going everywhere with me.

All over me. Okay.

This is from iS Clinical,

and this is obviously a daily essential sunscreen

even when it's cloudy.

Then all the way down my neck

and then down here so my skin is ready.

And I'm gonna get into my parent teacher conference mode.

So this is a foundation, Chantecaille foundation.

I just do everything with my fingers.

I've quite enjoyed that a lot of my jobs

haven't involved makeup because I think,

first of all it saves you time in the chair in the morning.

But it's also, there's an onus on beauty, I think,

in our industry that's can be quite overwhelming

and I think I've enjoyed that a lot of my roles

have not really been about that stuff.

But when there has been more makeup involved recently,

it's actually been really fun.

So on Maestro,

we had lots of different ages and stages to go through.

So Felicia started as a young girl, 25,

and went all the way through to 56.

And just the makeup process of that was fascinating.

And then on Saltburn,

I played a really fun character called Poor dear Pamela.

And Poor dear Pamela's makeup was just so fabulous

and it was, but almost an entire mask of makeup,

and that was really fun.

It was very collaborative

and I loved working with that team.

This is a Sisley concealer.

I've always been very willing

to sort of let people do whatever they want to do,

sort of creatively.

So I've had peroxide blonde hair

for a part that I filmed for just a day

that was cut from the film.

I've cut it all off.

I've, in fact in one of the makeup tests

for the Great Gatsby, they did my eyebrows,

they plucked them pencil thin.

So they were really typical 1930s.

I looked awful.

[gentle music]

At the Met Ball a couple of years ago,

I had a huge kind of horrible thing here.

And I did the exact wrong thing and I messed with it.

And then I went to go and see Joanna Czech,

who is an amazing facialist in New York.

She tried with all her might to do something about it,

and it just wasn't shifting.

So I called up the wonderful girl

who was doing my hair that day and I was like,

I can't, we have to find a way to cover my forehead,

'cause this is like a problem.

So within literally two hours,

she had gone to a place, bought a fake fringe,

that exactly matched my hair color, met me at my house,

and put a fake fringe on me.

And when I got to the Met Ball,

and I got up to the top of the stairs

and Anna didn't know who I was,

because my fringe was so transformative and I said,

Anna, it's Carey.

And she was like, Oh!

So if it were up to me,

I'd have like massive caterpillars on my face,

'cause I just love big brows.

Whenever I do that,

it always feels like I'm trying to sort of paint on lines.

I feel like when you kind of rub it across your brows,

the color kind of sticks to it,

and it fills it in in a way that to me,

looks a bit more realistic or a bit more natural.

And I like them all brushed up and fluffy like that.

Yeah, there you go.

I always like to have them sort of slightly pasted down

and now my brows look nice.

This is a little bit of eyeshadow. That's just nice.

Look at being presentable for parent teacher conference.

Could impact the academic future of my children.

So I do, I think it's something to take seriously.

This is an Addiction Tokyo Mascara.

I like to have a bit of eyeliner

but I just like to have a little flexi on the corner

just to open up my eyes a little bit.

Kind of in between a bit of where the mascara is

and the top lash line.

I think black on me can look a little bit harsh.

So I like brown, 'cause it's a bit more,

kinda blends in a little bit more.

Blush.

I've used the same blusher,

I think, like a decade.

I don't even know when this came out, but this is,

it's a Valentino.

I love this 'cause it's from Fresh,

and I've used it on a bunch of different jobs

where I'm not meant to be wearing lipstick really.

It's a tinted lip balm.

And then on Maestro,

my makeup artist Sean introduced me to this,

which we used for the bits where I'm meant to be 25.

We used all sorts of things to try and look 25,

it was a blast.

It just makes you look kind of glowy,

and I'm sure you can overdo it,

but I don't think you can overdo it.

So I spray this.

Then once I'm out and about,

and if I get to a point where I feel like I've been away

from my house for a few hours

and my makeup's gone a bit dry,

I always use this Caudalie spray.

I don't do much with my hair because it,

I've got a very good haircut at the moment,

if I do say so myself.

I really like this, which is OLAPLEX oil,

'cause it's somehow,

even if I've got little bits of flyaway, whatever,

I just smush this.

Little bit more of this,

'cause it's fun to have pink lips for the teachers.

And that's pretty much it!

This was so much fun.

I'm gonna go and see how well, or not well,

my children are doing at school.

Feeling kind of great. Bye!
