How Bebe Rexha Gets Rid of Dark Circles—And Masters Bright Blue Eyeshadow

[gentle music]

Hello, I'm Bebe.

I'm here in my bathroom at my house

with my dark circles and all

and I'm gonna give you my beauty routine

from start to finish.

First step is washing your face and being clean.

I will say that a lot of times after

I fall asleep and forget to wash my makeup off

and it's the worst feeling in the world,

so I love this exfoliator.

It's German and I can't use it too much

'cause if I use it too much, it dries my skin out.

It has these little pebbles in it

and it's kind of like micro dermabrasion

but not really, it's like, and cheaper

and feels so good so I put it all over my face.

Then we're gonna wash this.

So my next step is a serum,

one of many serums that is about to come,

but I went to my dermatologist

and they suggested this for me

because I have super super dry skin,

especially because I fly a lot,

so this is amazing for hydration

and I will be putting this onto my skin,

so you'll, you'll see how nice it looks, all right.

The next step is my La Mer Concentrate.

I just love this because it helps

reduce irritation and redness in your skin

and it just makes my skin feel so soft and smooth.

It comes in a little bottle like this.

Here's another serum and it just feels nice

and I think it's supposed to protect your skin

like from the outside world.

So I put this on, so here we go.

Sometimes I like to give myself a massage

'cause I feel like a lot of times

I get sinus problems or allergies

and I like to go around my eyes

and just massage around my eyes.

This is a face roller that I like to use sometimes,

once in a while when I feel like treating myself.

It's from the MDNA skincare line,

Madonna's skincare line and what you do

is you kind of move in an upward fashion

just to kind of lift everything up.

You wanna kind of lift it up.

You don't wanna go down 'cause then you're

pulling your face down.

My last two steps for skincare

is my actual moisturizing cream.

First step, I'll do the creams is the La Mer eye cream.

Final step for skin is La Mer.

All right, so now I have all my skincare on,

all the serums, and then I like to do the rose mist,

like whatever the rose mist is. This is the MDNA, so nice.

It's made out of 1,000 roses, 1,000.

The first thing that I like to do

when I start my makeup is my eyebrows,

which personally is one of the hardest things

on my face, I feel like.

So I'm gonna use Anastasia.

I never start here, I always kind of start in this area.

The first thing I'll do is I'll just

kind of go like that just to see what areas I'm missing.

Oh look at that, it's kind of shaping nicely.

This eyebrow's not the same as the other one,

but it's okay.

Okay so I like to do the end part as I said.

We're gonna go to the front here

and just like literally slowly just

'cause I feel like I have a little bit of a space here

so I just kind of pulse up like that.

The one thing with me is I'll do my makeup

but then I'll come back like 8,000 times

because I'm never happy and I'm a perfectionist.

So this isn't, this right here needs to be right there.

I have this Anastasia Beverly Hills brow gel.

It's just clear and when I'm done with my eyebrows,

I just take a little, put it there a little bit

and it just kind of holds them in place.

Done.

So today I'm going to do this blue

and it's called Something Blue

inspired by Miss Debbie Harry.

But before I put that color on,

I'm gonna use this Huda Beauty Pallet.

Beautiful shots.

I like this, just feels good doing that.

And then I'm gonna get this color on my eyes.

I lately have been super into David Bowie's makeup

and how he did the lightning bolt on his face

but mixed with like modern touches

which is gonna kind of be this makeup look.

I'm gonna take this amazing blue that I love

and put it on my eyes.

So fun.

I think sometimes it's just

fun to do something different.

People tell me my eyes are really big.

When I was little I used to cry all the time

because people would say, you have big eyes.

And they would call me Wednesday Adams

and I had the dark black hair.

I'm literally gonna just go in and press it in,

just like vibes, just feel it out,

like what feels good, you know?

'Cause we can always go back.

The one thing I love about makeup

is you can go back and fix anything, you know,

good makeup wipe.

I'm gonna just press press press press press.

I'm not precious within, you know what I mean?

It's a rotten world.

I am going to layer this blue with another blue

that's in this beautiful pallet by Morphe

and it's called 39L Hit The Lights.

Look at this pallet.

Oh it's so awesome.

I wanna make love to this pallet, like.

I'm gonna pat the blue and then pat pat pat

pat pat pat pat pat

and I'm just gonna go in.

Though after I put it on,

you can tell it's kind of,

the edges are kind of a mess

and it's all about blending.

So now I'm going to do a thin liner at the end,

just a tip of liner just to kind of lift the eye.

I am going to use a pot.

So when I'm doing my eyeliner,

I usually always mess it up

but I go back with a pencil and I clean it,

so I'm not gonna stress about that.

My next step is I'm going to curl my lashes,

curl my lashes.

I just kind of give it a little pulse.

Pulse pulse pulse.

The next step is L'Oreal Volumnous original

and I'm basically putting this on my lashes

before I add my false lashes

because it helps kind of make them like,

it helps them kind of come together.

Next step is eyelashes that we got at Nani's.

They're so pretty, so I kind of just put the glue on there

and I just kind of let it sit for a second

and let it get tacky 'cause if you put it on right away,

it'll start moving around.

Take the lash.

I have to use tweezers because my nails

are ridiculously long.

I'm just gonna kind of roll it on like this.

And let it dry.

I have a really cool technique that I do.

I don't press the end of the lash line

to my actual brow here, like my lash.

I keep it a little higher.

I'm adding a little bit of mascara like this

just so that I can connect my lashes

with these fake ones.

Cool. The one thing that I found really hard

working with a lot of other makeup artists

or for me was getting rid of my dark circles

or some discoloration that might have

by using a color corrector.

So I put it on my hand, I have a beauty blender

and I'm gonna tap tap tap tap tap tap tap.

And I'm going to add it to the spots

where I would like to get rid of the darkness.

So we're going to start underneath the eyes, so here we go.

We're just gonna pat underneath the eyes.

And what this is gonna do,

it's going to counteract the darkness underneath my eyes

and when we put concealer on top,

it's gonna look like my skin color.

It's gonna be awesome.

So I'm going around the mouth

because that's usually where you have discoloration.

I'm going to grab my La Mer powder.

I have a loose powder or I have this,

but I like for some reason.

I take the back of my beauty blender

and I'm just gonna go around like this

and just kind of tap my skin too.

I like to powder it lightly by hitting it,

touching my hand, so that when we put the concealer,

it doesn't move all over the place.

Great, next step.

My favorite thing that I've ever used for concealer.

It's called Shape Tape by Tarte

so we're gonna take the medium color of Tarte Shape Tape.

I'm gonna get underneath the eye.

You kind of wanna look like a raccoon

because this all gonna get blended out

but you really wanna create that like.

My number one thing about this one product

is when you put it on, you got to let it sit.

I literally will plate it,

like put this on and start working around my face

and add my foundation because this product

has to just kind of mush into the skin a little bit

or it'll not work the way that you want it to.

Okay.

We're gonna go in right here, right here, here, here.

I'm not gonna touch the under eyes.

I'm gonna just touch right here slowly,

I'm gonna bring it down.

Just kind of blend these areas out.

And I'm letting the under eyes sit.

I'm gonna bring in my La Mer foundation.

So a couple of dots, I'm gonna just like pat into my hand.

I'll start up here.

You can kind of see when I'm putting it on,

it's kind of, it's not that heavy.

The heaviest thing on my skin is really my concealer.

One thing that people do that

is kind of annoying a little bit

is that they miss their ears.

So I always move my hair back.

You always wanna kind of get your ear a little bit,

just kind of tap tap tap underneath.

I bring foundation down.

Really important.

This eye here is the blended eye

and this is the non blended eye

and there's no more dark circles, ahh.

So the next step is powdering the under eyes.

So I'm going to pop pop pop pop pop.

The brand that I'm using for my under eyes powder

that I'm using for my under eyes is Verlon.

I like this powder because it doesn't turn

my under eyes gray and that's really important to me.

I'm just gonna.

Look at this, we're going in on this.

Slightly powder the top of the head, the forehead down.

That's it, we're done.

So I am going to take a big brush,

like a big fluffy brush.

This is actually the Makeup by Mario brush he has,

the Makeup by Mario Sephora, love.

So I'm gonna just blend up.

You know, we can slightly blend the under eyes,

just, and just.

I don't want a super bronze look.

I'm gonna go for more of like a pink blush look,

a super nude lip.

Let the eyes speak for themselves,

like let them be a moment.

But I do like a little bronzing,

so I'm gonna use the Fenty bronzer.

This is Island Ting

and really lightly I'm gonna just like couple of times

and then I'm gonna go on my hand like this.

I just get scared that if you put the product on

and then you put it right on your face,

it's gonna be like one dot,

so I kind of just work it in

and then just slowly blend it in.

I love love love a pink blush.

It just gives me life.

There's something about it that feels really youthful

and fun and I don't know.

Here's one of my favorites, it's Dior.

This one is called Rosy Glow

and then the other pink that I like to use too

that I like to mix with it is Pink Powder by Kylie,

Kylie Cosmetics, it's amazing.

I love it.

I'm gonna start with the Dior.

I'll take the Kylie one 'cause it's lighter

and I dab it and I'll just put it right here a little bit

'cause it's lighter.

Cool, so I have that pinky.

I like a lot of pink.

I also like putting a lot of pink on

because I feel like also what will happen

throughout the day is kind of like it'll come off

and then it'll soak into your skin

and then it just looks really pretty, so yeah.

One thing I'm gonna go back to real quick

before I finish off with lips

is my under eyes.

I'm gonna just add a touch of mascara.

Okay so the eyes are speaking, we have the skin done.

We're gonna go for a, just a pinky nude color on my lip.

I think it would be really pretty

with like a really pretty lip liner

that's closer to my skin tone

just 'cause I don't wanna do anything too crazy.

So we're gonna start with this lip liner, which I love.

It's from MAC.

The key is making your lip look bigger.

You can tell the difference, you see it?

Is that you really want to make sure

the thickness is right in here.

You wanna kind of pull out here.

Oh.

I like it.

I think it's really important to find a lip color

that is not lighter than your skin

but not so much darker but kind of like

you know, where you could overdraw a little bit

and it'll look like you got bigger lips.

I'm gonna go with lipstick.

This is Charlotte Tilbury, I love Charlotte Tilbury.

This color is called Kim K.W.

Cool.

So last step is my setting spray,

which is the good old MAC Prep and Prime

and I love the smell of it.

So I spray my bottom of my face.

I'm doing the bottom and I'm using my long ass nails

to fan myself.

And then I'm gonna do the top.

Cover my, I don't wanna spray my eye makeup,

you know what I mean?

So boop boop.

I guess my next step is just messing up my hair

and making it look rock and roll, so take out my pins.

Trying to give it a little bit of that Debbie Harry vibe.

Yeah, done.

This is SANTAL 33.

Spray it on.

And then I mix it with French Leather

and it lasts all day and I smell like a boss

and I'm ready to go, and I'm like.

Let's take over the world. [smooching]
