Venus Williams’s Guide to “Everyday Glam” Skin Care and Makeup

[upbeat music]

Hi, I'm Venus Williams and I'm gonna walk you through

my skincare routine and just kind of like everyday glam,

so just a little more glam than

what you might need during the day, but everyday glam.

My go-to cleanser in the morning is this amazing one

that I picked up while I was in Saint Lucia.

So it's called the Tea Tree and Grapeseed Facial Cleanser,

and I love this one because I have friends all the time,

friends that are unwanted,

like this little guy or girl here.

It is really helpful for clearing up your skin.

It's a cream cleanser so it's not stripping on the skin,

and it helps you to glow and look beautiful,

plus it's just literally all natural.

I got it on the island, so it's so good for your body too

and it's so extremely clean.

A little goes a long way.

I like to also have such a nice one

that you can also use it on your body too.

I think that your face products should also

be able to transfer to your body.

Sometimes you wanna treat the skin on your body

just as good as your face.

It's so nice.

Now I'm gonna just wash it off.

Okay, all dry, so let's go into a toner by Trilogy.

It's a mist toner with rose, geranium, and lavender,

all amazing for the skin.

Rose is like Mecca for the skin.

Geranium also is great for anti-aging.

And then just go [gasps], and you can just.

Actually I can't ever stop spraying the toner

'cause it feels so good.

I do love to have skincare products

that are local to the area.

So my mom always goes to Morocco,

so when she's there I'm like send me the oils.

The oil straight from Morocco

is just so, so, so, so different,

and the quality level is incredible,

and then they also have creams and things they make there.

When I'm in New Zealand, of course,

you know they have like manuka skin products,

and when I go different places I love to find

the different products and see what's local.

So now it's time for serums, and I have my favorite trio,

and these are by Asutra.

So this is the Renew Your Skin, and this is vitamin C 20%,

and then this one is hyaluronic acid,

and that's obviously for moisturizing, anti-aging,

and then this one is the retinol.

So I'm gonna start with the Renew Your Skin.

There it is.

Nice.

I love the clean beauty products also

because of my skin type, and I have like problem skin.

Get under these here bangs.

Holy forehead! [laughs]

So I have oily skin, which means I'm always breaking out.

I've had acne since my teens until now.

Here comes the vitamin C.

[groans]

That was tough.

It's a great big workout.

So there's the vitamin C.

So I'm always fighting to hopefully not have any breakouts,

because then those leave marks and it goes on and on.

So we gotta take it all the way down,

and let me take this robe off.

So in order to prevent the aging, even on the underarm,

the neck, the ta-tas, et cetera,

I put my products all the way here to here.

Typically I'm using this product like,

I'll go like this with one hand

and like this with the other.

Get those babies down there, gotta come off camera for that.

Hello, beautiful for life.

There's our serums.

So now this is also by Asutra,

and I cannot live without this one,

and this is our rose body oil.

Now, it's supposed to be for the body

but I use it for my face and I love it so much.

It's just a beautiful and amazing quality

that you can use it absolutely anywhere.

It's got coconut oil, rose essential oil,

rosebuds, and rose petals.

See like love in there?

Today I'm gonna use a tiny bit

because I'm gonna put on some sunscreen too.

[light yelling]

Just a little.

And just pat it on the face for a little extra moisture.

Let's not forget the forehead there,

and let's not forget the neck, going under the arm.

I started taking care of my skin because of my mom.

My mom, as long as I can remember, has been taking baths,

exfoliating, my whole life, as far back as I can remember,

and rubbing lotion on her body,

and I remember as kids we'd tease her,

like, oh, mom, always rubbing lotion, but we were wrong.

She was right.

And then we're gonna go ahead and use this sun serum,

works perfectly under makeup.

So that's why we're gonna use this on the face today

'cause we're applying makeup.

And open it up.

You don't need a lot.

So you need to be careful not to let too much out.

Do just a little drop.

So I apply that on.

Now I'm gonna apply sunscreen to the body.

A lot of times people ignore putting on their sunscreen.

So I've got the Eleven by yours truly, Eleven by Venus.

So this is the On-the-Defense sunscreen and it's SPF 30,

and it's very sheer and the active ingredient is zinc.

So guess what, people think zinc

and they think, oh, terrible.

No, this goes on very clear, I promise you.

We worked for a long time to make sure that works.

So we can use this for the body.

We just need a little dab.

So my hands, yes, when I just rubbed it in, it's sheer.

I'm gonna get the neck, this deck,

the, I never could say that right, chest.

We are not French.

Go ahead and get the shoulders.

Okay, so now onto the makeup.

This is the glam part.

I'm gonna go for like just a glowy look.

That's why I didn't skip the rose oil today

because I don't mind having a glow and looking natural

and going for all of it.

My favorite right now, and I have different favorites,

but right now is this foundation by Chantecaille.

Okay, and so I have two colors here.

These have traveled the world with me.

And I have the suntan color and I have the carob color.

So today I'm gonna use the carob,

because I've been in the sun for about 12 weeks straight.

This lasts a very long time.

I don't wear a ton of makeup.

So I'm just gonna go ahead and use this here brush.

So I'm gonna brush that all on,

use a little bit to just cover up very lightly.

[gentle upbeat music]

When I'm playing tournaments I do not wear makeup

because the last thing that I wanna be worried about

is too much makeup, but I will do some things.

Like I definitely wear an eyeliner.

I'm in the eyeliner club.

Off the court I don't wear as much now

because I think it makes you look more youthful

if you don't have as much eyeliner on.

Right now I have just a really, really, really, really,

really light, super light, there you go.

So next what I'm going to do is use this contour kit.

It's by Anastasia Beverly Hills.

So I'm gonna use this middle one here, carob.

I'm just gonna use these on my cheeks.

Now, I'm already happy with my cheeks,

so I'm just adding a little bit for a little extra drama.

A lot of times I'll put it up here too.

I don't necessarily need it up here today

because I've got these bangs going for me.

These are my COVID bangs.

So you can see that I'm starting to get some chiseling.

Then I'm gonna use my brush here and I'm gonna buff it out.

[gentle upbeat music]

There it is, even, et cetera.

Now I have this gorgeous brush by Thrive Causemetics,

and it says may today be as flawless as your makeup.

See, I like this messaging

because it makes me feel powerful.

This is what I use for powder.

I just picked these up too, and this is by Chanel.

I have two colors as always,

so that's the chocolat I'm using

and then this one is the 132 chocolat.

So this has told me that I am chocolate and tasty.

So I'm gonna use the darker chocolate for my cheeks.

Powder this little guy on under here

just for a very light finish.

I really love this brush.

The Ben Nye.

So this is the Banana one and this is translucent powder.

Throw some like right here.

Don't need a ton.

Just brush it on like this and then I move it around

so it like spreads evenly on the brush.

There, I've moved it around,

and then I go ahead and place it under like so.

And then I get the T-zone there too.

And there we go, just a super, super natural look.

Last but not least are the lashes,

which just honestly makes the face.

This is the Thrive Liquid Lash Extensions.

So I'm gonna throw this on, and just, oh, my God.

Change my life.

I think this look is really youthful,

and my eyes really opened up with the mascara.

My skin looks almost perfect.

It's a little bit translucent still.

Okay, so I like to end it all with an aromatherapy moment.

The Calm, Cool, and Collected, because that's me now.

I'm ready for the world.

I just mist it around me.

Honestly, I put it on my clothes too.

Smells like heaven, and in the morning

honestly I can't get up so I have this by the bed

and I start misting.

All right, you guys, thank you for joining me

on my skincare journey.

I hope some of the things that I showed you

help you to feel good about you.

Thank you so much, and go face the day.
