Peyton List on Glowy Makeup and the Beauty Lessons She’s Learned on Set

[soft upbeat music]

Hi, I'm Peyton List

and I'm going to walk you guys through my skincare routine

and my blushy, pinky girls' day makeup.

My first step is the CeraVe hydrating facial cleanser,

I use this every day.

I mean, Tik Tok helped me discover it,

but then also my boyfriend's shower because he uses it

and I started using it

and my skin started feeling a little bit better

and I was like, oh, maybe it's onto something.

I'm also breaking out pretty bad right now.

I think it's from the mask

and also just hormonal acne

when I get stressed or tired or whatever,

I've tried to figure it out

and at this point I just know that my body reacts

and it's super sensitive and I just embrace it

and I just try to be kind to it and myself,

because I think stressing about it

isn't going to do anything.

Next we go for my DMK Acu-mist,

IS Clinical active serum,

OleHenrickson eye cream,

I started using eye cream

every morning underneath my makeup,

I feel like my makeup just settles on better.

So for my lips, usually I was using a lip scrub,

but then I got really desperate one day

and I didn't have my lip scrub

and I realized just putting hot water on a washcloth

and just kind of going in, it exfoliates.

My mom, she really cares about skincare and makeup.

My mom worked for Bobby Brown

before I was born

so she was always really into makeup

and taught me a lot.

And I would lock the bathroom door

and I would steal my mom's makeup.

I remember the first time she really caught me

was I had stolen a blush

and I had just put it on to the extreme

because I just thought like flushed fleshy cheeks

were so beautiful

and she saw me coming out of school and she laughed at me

because I just looked like a complete clown.

I've always loved makeup, I really have.

Next one going by papaw ointment.

I like to keep it simple with my skincare routine.

I think I used to be a 30, 40 step person

my skin routine took so long

and then I realized that it was just making my skin worse.

It was breaking me out more.

I didn't need all of it.

I feel like every part of my face has a different texture.

You know, I'm breaking out on my chin,

but my cheeks are more dry

and my forehead's more dry

and it doesn't break out there.

So I'll end up using different products

depending on the zone of my face,

which took me a long time to learn.

My oil-free moisturizer with SPF.

I put it on every day because I just am so fair.

And I think sun protection is so important.

They say, you can really tell someone's age

from the back of their hands

and I always think about that.

So I applied SPF

but I usually apply like a lot of facial products

all over my body.

I always get the advertisements for booty mask

and I was like, Well if they're selling booty mask

shouldn't you be able to use your face mask

on your booty?

So I started just using like face masks

on random parts of my body

and just like using the products everywhere.

Working in a makeup trailer or working with these artists,

I always pick their brain.

I sit down and I'm just like, What's your favorite?

Okay, well, why this moisturizer?

What's your brow trick?

I really enjoy beauty and I love the process.

And when going into a character,

I feel like they make my face look so different each time.

So two foundations, one liquid bronzer,

this is the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk

and then this is Shiseido Synchro skin.

I've tried some new foundations

and this is my favorite, I love it.

It covers up acne, but also makes my skin look glowy

and it still looks like skin.

I just dab all over, especially when covering acne.

It definitely did my makeup for red carpets growing up.

Oh my gosh there's some photos that haunt me.

I got a really terrible spray tan once

and it was patchy

and my foundation was white and my body was orange

and I just looked absolutely horrible.

And I just have to laugh at,

because when you come into the industry as a kid,

you're obviously going to have so many mistakes

and now I just have to look back at it and laugh.

I actually went to my mom one day and I was like,

Why? Why did you let me wear my hair like that?

Or my makeup or that outfit or whatever.

She was like, You liked it.

I liked it.

One of my favorite steps, brows.

The Anastasia Beverly Hills pencil.

And then the Mac eyebrow fiber gel,

on most days when I'm just, you know,

going to train or have a chill day,

I'll just use the brush.

I've never seen my brows look so good.

Brush them up as much as you can.

And then while they're brushed up,

if you see the spots, fill in the spots,

then brush them back down.

I've dyed my hair blonde for a long time

and once they dyed my hair blonde

and they put the dye on my brows,

they left the color on my brows too long

and they took it off

and I had no browse left.

They were just bleached.

So I was kind of ahead of the bleached brow trend,

but it was not [indistinct].

Growing up I did start, you know,

I had all these adults who are much older than me

doing my hair and makeup

and I had to sort of learn how to voice my opinion

and say, Okay, no, I know we can not touch my hair

or my face with that product or whatever it is

because I know it's going to damage it.

And it was hard to find my voice in that

and I always thought that, you know,

women seem difficult

and I realized it's okay to protect yourself

because no one else is there to do it.

And at the end of the day,

I'm the one going home

and I'm the only one left with me.

And my hair is falling out of my head

and my eyebrows fell off.

I had to learn how to defend myself

and realize I'm not being difficult,

I'm not being hard to work with.

Now my hair is healthier and that's because of me,

because I have taken good care of it

and I've had to learn and work with people

who are kind now

and just like make sure

that I have a really solid team around me.

These are my player pallets

from my makeup brand Pley.

Beauty to me

just has created so many different characters.

I like to have fun with color

and like express myself through makeup

and whatever I'm feeling that day.

Or like a lot of the times I just want to be someone else

when I do my makeup

and you know, I'll be like doing auditions

or whatever it is or meetings

and I get to just like, be something.

So I'm going with breathless and pantyhose,

Fun, shimmery, pink.

It's right here.

I might do a little bit of this shimmery pink.

Oh yeah, okay I'm going to do that

in the corner of my eye.

I like to slowly, you know,

just take a little bit at a time

and just slowly build and pat.

I do usually do my makeup with my girlfriends around

that is my favorite time to do makeup

because makeup is not a chore, it's a fun thing.

Especially if we're going out together.

I love getting ready together.

like I love doing my girlfriends' eye makeup.

I live in a house that was built in the thirties

and it's a very tiny guest bedroom

I don't even think someone could really live in it.

So I just turned it into a makeup room

and like the closet is filled with clothes from characters'

or things I've taken from set which was really fun.

And then like it's just all my makeup

and we just hang out in there and play music really loud.

I like to do my concealer after my eye makeup.

This is the YSL concealer pen which I like,

because it's easy to just throw in your purse.

I just prefer to brush,

I just liked the way it blends so nicely.

I definitely used to use makeup as a form of covering up.

And I would say my in my teenage years,

I definitely wanted to be older.

I want it to be perceived differently.

It's so funny looking back

and thinking about how insecure I would get.

And be one of those people

that said I'm not leaving the house without my makeup.

I think quarantine probably helped us all, you know,

just realizing how important underneath is,

and in skincare.

And I think my relationship with makeup

has turned into something that I really prefer and love now,

it's more of a form of expression

and I just feel so good when I wear it.

I really love how with campaigns now,

you know, people have their acne out,

people have their imperfections

because this level of perfection

that we've been striving for, for so long,

you know, the overly filtered,

overly edited retouched photos,

it's just too much pressure and it's not realistic.

I found this Kosas bronzer at Sephora.

So just like clean, cruelty-free

I'm trying to introduce more of that into my makeup bag.

I'm gonna go in with the Pley one stop hop blush,

the ecstasy color,

which I think I'm going to mix it with the pure bliss color.

This one's a little light

and I just smile.

And I go just like above the apples of my cheeks.

I saw a trick recently, I think it was on Tik Tok

to just go with your blush

in the areas where you normally highlight,

and it really lifts

and I really like it.

Highlighter stick.

So next I'm gonna go with my mascara,

the Too Faced better than sex mascara.

I'll go in the corner and just sort of try lifting.

So this is a really hydrating,

tinted lip balm and it's strawberry jam

and I love that they're all fruit flavored.

My Tatcha silk powder,

I love Tatcha, I love their skincare products.

I love all their products.

I love dewy skin, I love it to look glowy,

but in the right places.

But I also just kind of like set the tone that way.

And then if I sweat throughout the day, I really don't care.

Like I think makeup is meant to be lived in

I'm not constantly trying to fix it.

Like I do it

and I try to do it as best as I can,

but then I want to live throughout the day

and I don't really care if my makeup comes off.

And then I finish it off

with the Supergoop defense refresh spray

and I love that it has sun protection in it.

I'm all done with make up.

And I didn't wash my hair last night or the day before.

I like to wash my hair least amount possible.

I just like throw it up in a cap.

So I'm going to go in with my Kerastase dry shampoo.

Olaplex bonding oil.

Go in on the ends.

Coloring my hair back and forth between brown and blonde

and every color in between.

I have to keep oil on the ends to keep them healthy.

I usually do my haircare last

because I learned recently

that if I'm putting haircare on my hands

and then I'm touching my face all over and blending,

I'm probably rubbing those oils and products into my face.

And the facialist told me

that is part of the reason

she sees a lot of people break out.

That is my makeup, skincare and hair routine.
