Hey everyone, I'm Olivia Culpo

and I'm gonna walk you through my skincare routine

and how to get my signature Rosie Dewey cat eye look.

Every morning I start with my vitamins of course,

lately I've been taking this ZitSticka Skin Discipline,

so this just really has everything

for like clean perfect complexion

and it's honestly made a difference for me.

And it has this minty flavor to it

so you can't taste the fish oil

which is a godsend, plant-based cleanser by Sunday Riley.

So I love this because I find it to be very hydrating.

Okay I'm gonna put some water on my cleanser,

rub it together and then just put this all over my face.

So, this is the Desi mask,

the brand is called Desi Pro.

I usually do 10 minutes on the blue light

and then 10 minutes on the red light.

The blue light helps if I have any breakouts

and then the red light helps if I have any light spots

from picking my breakouts.

This is the Glamglow Firming Treatment.

The most important part for this is just like connect

the dots because then it's easier and more fun

to peel it off.

While I'm waiting for this to dry,

I'm going to show you guys how I whiten my teeth

which I'm very excited about because this is a new product.

This is the Crest Whitening Emulsions.

The reason why this is so cool, you don't have to rinse it.

I can just see how quickly it widens my teeth

and the other reason why I like it is you can get really

far down to the gum, so you're not missing any areas.

Cheese.

So, I'm gonna try to peel this off, as cleanly as I can.

Okay almost did it, perfectly but not.

So I usually just take my Neutrogena Wipe and wipe away

the excess.

I love these Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Peels,

these are one of my like original go-to products

and it's just a really deep, deep exfoliation.

I don't use this everyday,

I would say I use this two or three times a week.

So I'm gonna leave this on for two minutes,

during those two minutes I'm gonna whiten again.

Step number two, the Pro-Heal Serum Advanced by iS Clinical

and I'm just gonna use a few drops on my hand.

This is just really great for protecting your skin

and also helping with hyperpigmentation, any sun damage.

I love this Hyaluronic Serum from Dr. Barbara Sturm,

but then I also like the the calming serum

if I'm breaking out,

but then I also liked the Glow Drops.

I'm gonna start with the Hyaluronic Serum,

I find this to be so hydrating and these are the Glow Drops.

This is like...

Definitely adds a little bit of a glow to the skin.

I came I used Dr. Barbara Sturm Eye Cream,

I really like this because it's a very whipped texture.

As you can tell I am a fan of the brand,

I really am.

Once I find a brand that I love, I am very loyal.

I love this Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40,

it's completely clear.

It almost feels mattifying.

So I combine this with the Tatcha Water Cream

and I personally don't love a matte finish.

So that's why I'm combining it with my sunscreen so

that I can still get that like, sheen that I love to get

with my moisturizer.

This is the Tatcha Gold Spun Lip Balm.

Okay next, we are going to go into makeup

which is super exciting for me.

I love makeup.

I love all the different products that I'm gonna

show you guys.

I try new ones constantly.

So we're gonna start out with the Strobe Cream by M.A.C

and then I always combine either my moisturizer

or my primer with the clearance Glow Drops.

This is what I use to give my face a little bit of color

a few drops like, two to three highly recommended,

though I've been using this since I was in college.

Another thing that I will use sometimes to add a little bit

of an extra glow if I'm feeling like I want a little bit

of color is this St.Tropez Self Tan Express.

Okay, first step for makeup is concealer.

What I've learned with my makeup is just kind

of targeting the spots that I find to irritate me.

And then I build from there 'cause I don't ever want

to just like put makeup all over my face if I don't have to.

So I really got into makeup, I would say when I was younger

I always definitely really loved it.

I didn't feel very confident in my ability to use it

and I also realized that not everybody will know

your face as well as you think.

So, when I get my makeup done, for example,

when I was really young or even when I was...

When I was doing Miss Universe, for example,

I just felt like looking back on those photos

I don't even know who that person is

because it was just too much.

So for me, I'm not a huge fan

of changing what your face looks like.

I like the idea of enhancing the things

that make you different instead of creating

a whole new face.

I actually just like working with the canvas that you have.

I'm gonna use the Clay Topos Concealer, which has SPF 25...

This is a great concealer,

like really, really great product,

it will last you years.

For a foundation I love this Koh Gen Do

high definition moisture foundation.

I'm just gonna put a little bit right here.

I honestly...

I really try not to go crazy with the foundation.

If I look back on photos where I have too much

on like my eyes or too much foundation,

I cringe like definitely Miss Universe

it was like, oh my gosh, like my nose was non-existent,

it was way too contoured, which I just don't...

I would never normally contour my nose for example.

I absolutely love this M.A.C Prep and Prime

Fix Plus Spray.

This is another original for me.

I've used this forever.

Just gonna spray that, maybe while that's soaking in,

we can go to the eyebrows.

So for eyebrows, of course you wanna brush them up.

I just use a spoolie sometimes, I use the Glossier Boy Brow.

I like this because it's white

but it dries clear and it's malleable.

So like, you can work with this after let's say,

I do my bronzer and like, I kind of mess up

my eyebrows again which that pretty much always happens.

And then after the gel I always use my Dior Brow,

actually this is a Dior Brow Styler

and I'll only use this in the spots I have to.

So like this eyebrows pretty good, but like right here

on top of that, I'm just gonna kind of even that out.

I always say that makeup is kind of like cooking,

like if you like to cook, you're going to be a good cook.

If you like makeup and putting on makeup and the process

of it, you're going to become good at makeup.

It's kind of just putting in the time

and like really finding the fun

in it because it is creativity.

I love the Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze Glow,

so this actually has a glow and a bronze.

I honestly pretty much just use the bronze part of this.

After that, I'm gonna go on with my eyeshadow

that's actually a bronzer

and this is the Filmstar Bronze Glow Medium Dark.

So another trick that I've learned with eye shadow,

is the most important thing to do is to blend.

Like you really just wanna...

The more time you spend just going back and forth

back and forth, the more professional look

just kind of funny, but I swear it's true.

So for my blush, I actually use all of these.

I go like this, just touched off, blow, smile.

But if I'm ever like really in a pinch, I have to go

to an event like this would be something

that I could definitely do in a car or like in the dark.

Our liquid eyeliner, I'm using Patrick Starrr One/Size,

I always put my liner on the outer, like sixth

of the eye, quarter to six of the eye.

I don't start from the inner corner.

I always wanna just achieve like a lifted open eye this way.

So, I wanna start definitely at the end and get my little

line where I want it.

So once I have this line idea, I'll go to the other side

and try to make it as even as possible.

I just pull back the skin.

No weighing is ever the same every single day.

Like sometimes it will be thicker,

sometimes will be thinner.

It's like, I can't always nail it, but that's fine.

Next we're gonna go to highlight

and then we're pretty much almost done.

So, this is the Charlotte Tilbury easy Highlight Wand.

You just squeeze the top

and you can just put it right on the cheekbone.

And I put a little bit on the tip of my nose

because it lifts the nose.

And like I said before I don't like

when my nose looks super skinny.

So I feel like that helps it kind of like, whew.

So, let's go to lips.

I'm absolutely obsessed with the Dior Glow.

And the thing that I love about this lip is

that it actually looks different on everyone

and it changes according to your body temperature.

So, it stays on as a stain, once it dries,

it's very hydrating.

So I just put this all over.

This is the Whirl M.A.C Lip Liner,

I put the lip on first now

and then afterwards, I'll kind of like just go back in

where I feel like I really need the liner instead

of just doing it everywhere.

I'm just gonna put this on my finger and I'm just gonna dab,

so, I'm gonna finish curling my eyelashes.

Final step is the Laura Mercier translucent powder.

I'll take my little sponge, dab it and blow

and then just put it in like my problem areas.

So, you guys, this is the look we're gonna spray it

one more time with our little Mist from M.A.C.

Ooh, also my perfume, but I love so very much.

This is new from Louis Vuitton.

This is California Dream.

I love this scent.

And I have to say like,

I just feel like when you smell good, you feel good.

Okay, so I definitely need to brush hair.

We are just gonna go in with our texture spray

we're gonna work with the texture by that we have,

this is a Dry Texture Spray from Oribe.

I'm a huge fan of this, I'm just gonna spray underneath

and just give it a like little rub,

maybe the other side.

Another product that I've recently become obsessed with,

this is AirPaste.

I'm gonna use this actually because

this will really get those suckers down

'cause they're annoying me today extra.

Okay guys, I think I'm ready to go.

This is my final look.

I hope you all learned something

and thank you so much for watching.
